I have a question perhaps you can help me with. I have in February schedule for that Saturday the villains dance club that they're doing a limited run at Disney Hollywood studios as well. It almost basically sounds like what you are describing with the holiday dance club. I have to be honest reason I want to do it was to get maybe some pictures with some of the rear of the main characters that they will have their. Hearing what you're saying that there will be no chance for meet and greet chances to take pictures do you think that'll be the same for the villain dance club. Because that's basically the reason I'm doing this I would love to get some pictures with some of those characters. Just asking your opinion and thanks in advance.

Club Villain is something completely different. You WILL get a chance to take pictures with Maleficent, Queen of Hearts, Cruella De Vil and the Evil Queen. It's still unclear if you will have a chance to meet and greet with Dr. Facilier as he is the host of that event.

Club Villain is advertised as being a "mix and mingle" which is another term for meet and greet - it usually happens after a show - and there is a show portion of Club Villain. For the price you're paying, photos with the Villains will be a component of the evening.

Here's a great article on Ashley Eckstein, her love of SW, and HerUniverse:

If you have the LE Kylo Ren MB there's a new surprise when you enter DHS and when you use it at the FP locations
When used it will display a red to green light sequence with a lightsaber sound
I haven't seen this personally but I'll try and see if I can get video.

I hope it is audio of him throwing a temper tantrum!

We went to the Club Disney. Was trying to figure out how they will do Club Villain. For food setup, dining and dancing I don't see it holding a lot of people so that is a good thing. There are four bump outs from the wall that have interactive coloring pages on them and the rest is enclosed with curtains. We sat on one of the sofas next to one where the curtain was not attached and I was able to pull it open and peek. It was very decorated and colorful for Queen of Hearts. My guess would be a character in each of those for you to go meet in some organized fashion. I tried to look in the others but the curtains were all pinned tight.

Photo from WDWMAGIC you can see them the bump outs.

Does anyone know how quickly the jedi training academy is filling up? I'm wondering if we do TSMM at rope drop Jan 4th then go sign up for JTA if they will still have spots left. Also wondering if they are allowing people to sign up before rope drop?

I'm not sure how fast it's been filling up but also you can't compare the crowds that have been coming now with the crowds you'll get on Jan. 4thth.
There is no signing up before the park officially opens.
If you go to TSMM first and then go sign up you will probably still have a spot but may not be able to find the time you want (probably the morning slots will be taken) and you will probably encounter a longer line to sign up.
If you don't mind what time of day you get then I would think you will have time to go do TSMM first, but if JT is a high priority I would sign up first.
Just a heads up and in case you don't know, Jan. 4th is the last day for Phineas and Ferb and Lightning to Meet and Greet next to Mama Melrose.

Thanks for the info and the head's up. I appreciate it.

Pizza Planet is closing for most of 2016. Closing on January 19th and with an expected opening date in late November 2016. Could be the first step for a SW style restaurant (hoping/ fingers crossed?)

That's both good and bad. Will make peak times before November tough to find a QS. Will the food areas on Sunset BLVD that have been undergoing refurbishment open by Jan 19th?

I have a SW movie question for anyone who is good with Amazon - I have an Amazon gift card so I thought ok I will just buy the SW digital movie collection with it since I have been wanting them on my iPad. (I do not have Amazon prime or any of that). I am just not sure how it works? Will it go through disney movie collection website? Can I put into the iTunes cloud? I am clueless, but I thought someone else here may have bought the collection and would have an idea. Thanks for any help!

I wonder what it could be if it does go SW? Seems too high of ceilings for a cantina and can't imagine they would rush that one out. Maybe like rebel hangar?

I bought the collection through Amazon. I access it via the "Amazon Video" app on my iPads, as well as via Amazon Prime through our TV. I've also downloaded them from the Amazon Video app to my iPad, so that the kids can view them while traveling without an internet connection. Works like a charm. Does that answer it?

ETA: I think this should get you to the Amazon Video app on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-video/id545519333?mt=8

When you purchase the movie, it becomes available on the Amazon Video app. Then, you can link that app to your Disney Movies app.

There are directions in the Disney Movies Anywhere app as to how to connect other video sites such as Amazon and iTunes, etc.

I don't mind a "love story" -- I mean, it's a real part of life -- even for awesome, powerful women!! I just wouldn't want that to take over, or be THE storyline for her.

I agree. The problem comes if they cause love to make her weak. Like Padme. She was strong enough to stand up to the Trade Federation at, what, 14? And then all through her career. Then Ani loses it, and Padme does too? Dumb. Leia always remained pretty strong. I never understand that in any movie. Sure sometimes love makes people stupid, but it is just as likely to have no effect on personality or even make a person stronger. Not to say they have to have a love story, but it won't bother me if done well.

Not to get super deep but wouldn't having baby actually make you want to keep living?
Padme was such a disappointment for me, she started out super strong and then "lost the will to live" just cause Anakin went to the dark side.

Totally agree. I would probably be too angry to die

Yes! This drove me nuts. Have her die because Anakin attacked her and she was too badly injured. Or some other complication crops up. But losing the will to live just after she'd given birth to healthy twins was just lame. Of course, I thought that whole love story was poorly done.

I would love it if Pizza Planet had some sort of SW makeover. I also hope the food improves. We've generally not spent more than half a day at HS. The one time we did, we ate at PP because it was pouring and PP was where we happened to be when the skies opened. I tend to have pretty low expectations when it comes to theme park food but that was pretty terrible.
