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

[disprincess2213]

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

Sorry to be so annoying!! But where will the fireworks be? In the fantasmic seating area or somewhere different? Where is the dessert party? Sorry again!!!!!!

coming to post something similar...it gives me A New Hope

I was already so excited, but this gets me even more excited!

Also, I was listening to NPR yesterday and they did this segment where they went back to the 1977 NPR film critic review of the first SW film when it aired at that time. It was really interesting to hear the critic's reaction to it. He was so excited and he nailed it as far as how huge it would become. It's only 6 minutes long, but here it is in case anyone is interested:

They shoot them behind GMR, so if you are on Hollywood Blvd or Echo Lake would be the best spots to see them
The dessert party will be in front of center stage. , probably to the left of center stage as you face it

Grumble grumble still no official times for January yet...

And for those of you who use Google chrome, looks like there's a star wars spoiler blocker plug-in... (I just... I just don't even know how to feel about that... The sugar tech geek side of me says "kewl!" but the whole wheat side of me sez "first world problems!" )

That is awesome!

Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow so it gives everyone plenty of time to get the plugin up and running tonight.

I don't know how I'll be able to concentrate at work for the rest of the week...

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.

I assume nyc? If so let us know how it was in Dolby vision for pic and Dolby atmos for sound! I assume the time square theatre is all updated to the newest Dolby standards. I would love to see it that way bs our local cinemark. Have a blast!

Wanted to share with my fellow SW geeks - We recently wrote to DK books regarding a Star Wars fact error that our daughter Brogan found :

"my daughter would like me to point out that in your book Star Wars the Ultimate Visual Guide (on page 35 in the Jedi High Council section) - you list Adi Gallia as "human" when all true Star Wars geeks will tell you she is actually a Tholothian like her cousin Stass Allie."

THEY WROTE BACK!! Here is their reply (Brogan is thrilled!)

...
"DK Books: Hi Karen, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Your daughter has a great eye! Thanks for pointing this out, we've passed this info on to our editorial team and they will be correcting it future printings. Happy holidays!"

I offered up Brogan's services as a Star Wars book fact checker but somehow I doubt if they'll take us up on it - but I'm really impressed that they got back to us with such a positive reply We homeschool and honestly I'm not sure if we're going to get much more done today - she keeps jumping around the house saying "they wrote back"! Now I have to break it to DK books she found another error in another book.....again Star Wars...

We arrive on Friday and were planning to go to the Studios that evening, but we are staying offsite that night. I keep reading about all the parking issues, so now I don't know how we're going to get there. Should we still try to get into the lot at the Studios or what?

Honestly... we went Saturday the 12th and had no problems. We went directly to the Epcot lot at maybe 445. (we never went to HS first... it appears based on posts here they were routing people to AK) The Epcot lot was super full so you just sort of had to find your own spot in the rows that had already been parked in... but otherwise, the bus had us to HS by around 5. Leaving HS at about 930 was easy too... I think I counted 5 buses they were using for Epcot... we waited maybe 3-4 minutes to get on the Epcot bus (even though the line was backing WAY up - towards the entrance). Maybe we got lucky?

Edit - it really bums me out reading posts here on the boards about people having a rough time with the studios... We had an absolute blast Saturday and decided to book Minnie's Holiday Dine for January 2nd to come back and enjoy it some more. Just goes to show how different experiences can be.

I was there on the 12th too - I stayed on-site and monorailed to Epcot in the morning and took the boat to HS around ... uh... I wanna say1:30ish and had no problem at that point. HS was crowded but not crazy so but by the time the lights were being turned on, that area of the park turned into a zoo and getting OUT by boat at 7:30 was nigh impossible!

I was thinking that going directly to Epcot to park was probably the best plan for @CarolinaBlue - it's fairly close to DHS and you know the parking situation isn't going to get any better until after the lights close for good.

Does anyone know if the new Dooney purses are limited edition type thing? Or do you think they will be around for a few months?

 

[Dave Tis]

Tick Tock and counting.. 26 hours and 32 minutes until it comes out here in the UK...
Hope all here on this Board enjoy this weekend... However/Wherever/Whenever you are seeing the film

 

[Dave Tis]

PS - how hard is it not to go on social media/facebook/google to ensure there are no spoilers...
Im pretty sure there will be many people displaying the key segments to the story on these sites before others have had the chance to view for themselves..

We are staying at kidani village this week and have tickets to the opening night event. There are 12 of us and we have vehicles. Trying to decide whether to drive or take Disney transport. Planning on heading to Disney springs 3 hours early. If we bus, how will we get to the Studios after party? And after the party, will they have buses back to the resorts? Or should we just drive? We don't really have a preference. Just want to choose the least hassle. Thoughts?

Just saw this from DPB on Twitter:

Our next live stream will feature the “Symphony In The Stars: A Galactic Spectacular” fireworks show on Dec 18! https://t.co/ieq2IlDqdU

(Link doesn't work for me, though)

There will be no transportation from Disney Springs and DHS so you need to take the car

I'm not sure that once they sell out they will make more. They are very popular

And now it looks like the tweet was deleted! Eesh, Disney.
