**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[DaisyMaisie]

We went to studios on Saturday night. Due to lots of inaccurate info we were delayed for hours until ultimately parking at animal kingdom (w/o tram service back to our car). Anyway they gave us three fast passes good for any ride for up to 5 people that expire dec 31. We only had time to use 1 and missed out entirely on star wars bay. The lights were amazing and since we did not get into see them until park close the crowds were very low and plenty of room time for great pictures. I def recommend waiting til park close to enter to see the lights.

Anyway would love to give the two fast passes for any ride and up to 5 people to a star wars fan who plans to be in the park before the 31st. So if you can use them pm me and tell me who shot first as well as your favorite star wars movie.

Looks like the fastpasses are taken if we can work out the logistics

I was passing through JT and was surprised with the new light effects on the Temple walls, seriously if your child can do this show at night, do it. All the lighting effects are awesome, and the lightsabers light up. (sorry about the quality, it was taken with my phone)

I've been looking through pictures on Twitter but didn't see anything live. I read that she used lots of the swears accidentally. LOL.

Everyone involved with the movie just looks so, so happy. I'm so excited for Friday!


ETA: Does anyone know if the Stormtroopers who were on the red carpet were members of the 501st?

I don't know about the troopers, but the T-70 pilots were there with the Sunrider Base. One of my friends has been all over social media feeds and the news this morning.

it won't replace F!. Fireworks will be at 8pm, not sure if they will update park hours and change F! time but as for now F! is at 7pm so yo would have time to see both

I watched it sporadically, since I was trying to put the little one to bed. I have it taped so I can watch it without interruptions. Everyone looked great.
DH and I are now ready for the flight down - 2 more days!!! We're also telling our nephew tonight that he gets to see SW-VII in Disney (surprise birthday present).

On a side note - I love the Shop Parks App. Free shipping, no tax and 10% off! I ordered my new Force Awakens shirt and as luck would have it, its going to be delivered by the end of tomorrow. Just in time!!!

Sorry to interrupt the movie talk, but I wanted to say thanks to everyone here who posted info on Launch Bay and everything else related.

We were there last week and it definitely helped to have all the info from this thread.

A warning about the BB-8 sipper... Don't let it tip over for too long... It's fairly leak-proof, but we ended up getting some lemonade into the top part and it wasn't coming out when we cleaned it. Luckily, we were able to exchange it.

Thanks again!!!

Reading the early Twitter reviews has me even more excited! My DH has been binge watching the trailers for the last couple of days. We have tickets in hand and are pulling the kids out of school Friday to drive to the city and take in an afternoon screening.

SO the fireworks will be every night at 8pm at DHS? Any idea how long they will be? I am just not seeing it listed on any of the touring plans/planning sites and cant miss it!!!

they haven't update the January calendar yet, but because they are offering the dessert party we know that they are at 8 pm for January and February. The show should be around 10 minutes
