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

[yulilin3]

I'm intrigued! What's Star Wars in Concert?

You know what I would LOVE?!? OK... at the Kennedy Center over the holidays, they presented a screening of Home Alone (anniversary of that film release), with a live orchestra performing all of the music. Such fun!

That film is by 20th Century Fox, and when the orchestra played that opening credit music LIVE, we all thought "Wow!! What if they did this for Star Wars?!!?"

That's what I'd love to see.

OMG...my 6 yo and I listen to Star Wars music every day to and from school. He would be freaking out over seeing it in concert!! I just got SUPER excited

here's the site for this year, they haven't announced dates yet http://www.starwarsinconcert.com/
They did this years ago, can't remember the year exactly but it was a full orchestra with Anthony Daniel as the host (he would come and tell the SW story and introduce each song) huge screen behind the orchestra showing clips and other features, lasers...we went and saw it at the Amway Center. It was awesome
found video

the first couple of pics from this album is when we went, members of the 501st and Rebel Legion were there as well as some props

Yes! The light side is on sale in June, I believe... June 14, 2016. I think Feb is the date for DL half.

These rD posts always make me happy...

Hi all,

I've searched and searched, and can't find the details I'm seeking. I have pretty good search foo, but am not successful. I'm sure the info I want is somewhere in these 273 pages, but I just can't read them all...

So please, take mercy on me:

Visiting WDW Week of March 21, 2016. We can change our schedule to visit March 19, since that's the last day of Star Wars... but exactly what is ending? I can't really tell what will close and what will stay open.

I think the last day for Symphony in the Stars is March 19.
I think the last day for the 'guaranteed' Star Tours new adventure is March 19. I have not seen that exact date published, but they say “During the opening months, everyone who rides Star Tours will experience the new adventure. After that, it will be up to the will of the Force.”

What else ends on March 19?
Any info would be helpful.

Thanks!

the only thing that has an end date is the fireworks dessert party, on March 19th...no word on extension of the party or fireworks. I'm assuming the fireworks will go on after that date but nothing confirmed.
Star Tours will still have the new scene from Force Awakens it might just go to random...during these first months they have put the second sequence (Force Awakens) so every ride gets it, but they might change back to all random by March, so you might get Force Awakens scene or any of the other 2. Hope that makes sense...if you have any other questions let us know

OK.. that matches what I've found. Glad to have confirmation that I didn't miss anything. Thx

For those of you who are planning on the SW Dessert Party and possibly missing Fantasmic during upcoming trips, the Disney Parks Blog is livestreaming Fantasmic on Tuesday, February 2nd @ 6:50p EST.

If the weather is a go, my CM friend, GoGo, will be making a rare appearance performing that night. Be on the lookout for a bounding cheetah/gliding bird/2nd Native American in the 2nd canoe from the right/joyful Minnie!
