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

[yulilin3]

first permits have been filed for construction on DHS. The area that it looks like they are starting with is the old Backlot Tour/Catastrophe Canyon. End date is Nov. 2018, this is where TSLand is rumor to be...no other big permit has been filed yet

Great review. I just keep going back and forth because of the high top table/little kid issue. We are booked for the 10th and I know hubby would be disappointed if we cancelled. I'm assuming there isn't room for strollers. I'm totally okay with them sitting on the ground to eat/rest so I guess if that's an option then we will be fine....

I saw a stroller inside the area, not sure if they are allowing them or it was just an oversight on the first day.

It just occurred to me that they're probably going to lose the Lights Action Stunt show too, aren't they? I wonder if they'll try to keep it open during some of the construction...

That's the rumor. In the meantime I'll use the stadium to get pictures of. Backstage areas

I am having the same debate because of our littles - age 3 and 8. The 8 year old will be ok, but it would be much better if we can bring the stroller in the area for the 3 year old in case she is wiped out and falls asleep. If you go on the 10th, I would love a report on the stroller situation. We have reservations for Feb. 2nd.

Now that the Launch Bay has been open for several weeks, is there a best time of day to visit?

Don't know if CM was joking but when DD had pic taken with Vader, she was going to put her hand on his arm/shoulder and was told "don't touch him". Very strange.

I'll definitely let you know how it goes! We have an almost 3 year old and 5.5 year old and this is going to be at the end of our first full day, with an early start to try to get Jedi training for the 5 year old, hopefully she gets a time that allows us to go back and rest before the evening because otherwise it sounds like it could be rough!

first thing or late in the day is best but I have been keeping track on wait times and they seem to stay pretty consistent through out the day

They are very committed to their "characters" as guards and security. Vader will never touch you, hug you, high five, knuckle touch...and they don't want you doing that to him.

If that is the case, then maybe they should state that prior to going up to have pic taken with him.

I was thinking the same thing-if I could bring in the stroller, we'd be ok.
I'm just nervous my son will get sick of standing, and then get ansy. I'm worried with the tall tables and tablecloths, he'll get stepped on if he sits on ground.

Force choke?
Point his finger at you? ("You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor blah blah blah...")

OK, so I asked on the Mom's panel, lol. Answer:
I have a very MAGICAL answer for your first question! I am happy to inform you that you CAN bring a stroller into the reserved area. Having five kids of my own, I know what a HUGE blessing a stroller can be!

Yes!! Thank you for posting that!

Yep! Not sure how reliable, I have never asked a question on there before, but it is a start I suppose!

no one told ds (10 months) lol, DH said Vader got mad and scooted away

 

[leholcomb]

I skimmed through the first page but didn't see the answer.

Is Launch Bay open for morning EMH?

 

[DisneyGuess]

I know this has been asked, but wow trying to read back is, um, difficult!
Any thoughts on if they'll be extending the fireworks into April or May?
I may be moving our late Feb trip to mid-April & this is the one BIG deal bothering me.

in the audition call it says that the person needs to be ready to start work 3 to 4 weeks after audition, auditions are January 27th, so it doesn't look good
Sabine is my daughter's favorite from Rebels, she cosplayed as her last year during SWW and had lots of fun doing it

That could work for us though. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it happens then or earlier.

 

[soniam]

so sweet, she had a blast. Too bad she's no longer able to wear costumes anymore in the parks. We loved meeting your family

That is a shame. I don't see anything, except maybe a toy gun, in her costume that could be an issue. However, you have to set good examples for your children and not encourage them to break the rules
