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

Personally, I like Thor, but that just may be the guy who plays him in the movies

I took my hair stylist a pic of black widow and said I want hair this color! She nailed it but, even with that I would still be putting Thor on a phone case!

Ugh! We just found out this week that one of our best friends is getting married on 12/5/15 in the Bay Area, which is great, but... Well, if we still go to WDW in early June, then December 5th is my ADR day. Oh joy! Instead of doing them at 5am CST, which wasn't terrible but wasn't great, I get to do them at 3am PST Also, if past history is any indication of future performance, then that's about when SWW meals will be announced. Hopefully, they would be announced on Monday, 12/7, or much earlier. Does Monday seem more likely than Friday? I ask, because we will probably make it a 3-4 day weekend. We could tack on extra days either at the end of the week or the beginning. I don't want to miss out on SWW stuff because I am not near a computer. I also don't want to have to stay at the hotel or a Starbuck's all day to book SWW meals

no rhyme or reason but I feel that it's usually early in the week when things open up.In any case I can make ADR's for you, just PM me your info, if you want to do that

Thanks for the link. I was trying to find one the other day with no luck.

I am still not sure. If I do go, I probably won't be there any more than an hour early. We are doing Both Walmart and Taret events on Saturday. Walmart starts at 10 and Target 11, so we should be able to stagger them.

Also, Yuli, that link reminded me when I read about hose exclusive trading disc handouts at Walmart the other day...I wonder if that will draw more of the collectors away from Target. OTOH, Target has those coupons. I think TRU also has some kind of poster giveaway. I'm not sure how all of this stuff will spread shoppers. I just don't forsee it being very crowded here. I may even go closer to midnight. I am about 95% sure I will do Target if I do anything. Very slight chance of TRU instead because it is about two minutes from me. I might even swing by there before Target to see if there is a line.

With me if I stay in the house past 9pm I'll get sleepy so my goal is to be out around 8pm, maybe just walk around the mall for a bit before going to Target, I'm hoping, if there's a crowd they have people line up inside

Ha, good point about getting tired!

I did come across what looks to be the TRU poster...

Not sure if that image is coming through, so here's the link again.

that is a very cool poster. I don't think I'm going to TRU though, still have nightmares from one black Friday I decided to go there

 

[msmama]

like I said I don't collect but if I wanted them I should go to DTD the morning of the release?

I worked at the Disney store in college back when Disney beanie babies were a thing. I still have nightmares about that!?!? Of course that was before the internet so people would call from all over the country (I was in Ohio) and we'd have to mail them!!

Anyway, the stores don't usually know what they're getting, just that they're getting some. And they used to have a certain time that they were allowed to bring them out to the floor (so they were all unboxed and ready to go in the back). I'd assume it's pretty much the same process.

Our Target is not having a midnight opening so I won't be going there. I might hit the TRU by us but I still haven't made up my mind.

the Disney Store in the Florida Mall is opening at 6am and the first 100 people get a pin, I'm debating on going to that or not, it would mean no sleep for me Thursday going into Friday...I'll see how I feel after Target, thankfully there's a Starbucks inside the Target...
I was thinking of sending my son to the Disney store but he has a full shift at Universal (9am to 5L15pm) and then plays at Splitsville 7:30pm to 11:30pm, and then does the whole thing again on Friday so I'm sure he won't want to wake up earlier than needed

My husband is doing his Fantasy Football draft Friday night, so I was thinking maybe I'd be a big 'ole hypocrite and go to one of these store events. But then I realized...we're talking midnight on September 4th...so really Thursday night? Not doable with work if that's the case.

Same with our local Disney Store. I'm not super clear on what's happening with Disney Store online, though.

"On DisneyStore.com, fans can enjoy special Limited Edition product, as well as free shipping on all Star Wars items from September 4 – 6." Does that all start at 12:01AM on Fri, though?

I think that's what it means

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen it in the site yet. I will probably do online. Glad I held off buying that Sith roast mug. Who am I kidding? I don't have to try hard on their site to hit the $75 free shipping I might try Sphero's site for BB-8 before hitting Best Buy. Guess I'm "working from home" Friday.

Funny thing about seeing the Sci-Fi Theater breakfast being a trial, I figured it meant that if there was enough interest in breakfast, it would become a character breakfast eventually. Especially since so many people will be choosing other parks to visit with all the DHS closures. I'd think a year round character breakfast would be a big draw. But what do I know.

I haven't seen these crocs

One of the sites said something about a Furbacca. DS has a Furby. It's a little annoying but cute. A Chewie one would be awesome though

I wonder if I can change my ringtone to be Chewie's howl. I bet my coworkers would love that, especially if I leave my cube and leave the phone there with the volume cranked up. They might accidentally shoot it, thinking it's an injured animal.
