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

Hold on, Padme is a great lesson about what NOT to do in a relationship. Don't fall for the "bad boy" who mistreats you. Don't let said bad boy separate you from you children. I am a mom of two, married to a fantastic man. I could understand dying of a broken heart over a great guy versus living for newborn(s) you basically don't know. I don't think we have to love our children more than our spouse. On the other hand, those children would be the last living part of him. So why wouldn't you want to be with them? Plus, as said, Padme died over crazy Anakin lol. She had enough love? Interest? Whatever to name them but not to raise them? Stupid. I don't know why it couldn't have just been that she died from injuries inflicted by Anakin.

Now, back to all of us spending our money and losing our minds over merchandise...
The Walmart I went to didn't have that BB8 shirt. ODS did pick out that same design with Boba Fett for DH's Christmas present (from him but on DH's dime lol). They had another BB shirt, but it was that diagram one. Meh. Disney Store shirts were pretty limited, too. I love the tank and long sleeve I got from Target, but they are old SW, not new.

It's funny about the costumes. I can't remember which costume site I was on recently, but they had a page for family costumes. The SW mom ones were all sexy - Darth Talon, Leia, sexy troopers and Vader. A) I am not wearing that because no one wants to see that. B) that is not the image of women I want to be supporting for my boys. C) I have zero interest even if I look fantastic. I am not twenty going to some bar or rave. I am...a good bit older planning an elementary school party and taking my kids around the neighborhood. Besides that, I want something realistic. There are plenty of women who want a normal costume. It's like there are two categories for women - sexy or shapeless comedy.

My BB-8 STILL has not shipped from Amazon, yet they're still saying it will arrive by 8pm on Tuesday. I'm wondering how they plan on that happening with today being Sunday and tomorrow being a holiday.

We went to see Cirque du Soleil Kouza last night. Excellent show. I haven't seen a Cirque show in a long time. I was thinking how much it reminds me of the magic of Disney and how I think Walt Disney would have loved it. If you ever get a chance to see one, do it. La Nouba at WDW is also very good.

DronesThey do have the 1 or 2 hour service in some places. If you are located near a distribution warehouse, then I bet you will get it Tuesday.

I definitely don't think phasma's armor should look womanly, i just wish they put her costume out for women if that makes sense. Her costume is modeled by a man in the pictures. I also hate how all Star Wars costumes and superhero costumes are sexified. Im glad she has lines...I just saw today a video of the voice changing mask. Maybe I'm just over analyzing this whole thing lol All I want is a costume that isn't skimpy or meant for a man...is that too much to ask?!?

No, it's not too much to ask. I think you are asking for what most of us want. I guess we just need to voice our opinions to the manufacturers.

Maybe we should all message Ashley at Her Universe and tell her to start making SW costumes that are not sexified

K, that'll work. I'm in a suburb of Dallas and have used the 1 hour service before. I will be awaiting drone delivery of my droid.

I completely agree with the Halloween costumes issue. It's ridiculous. On another note, the Lego SW Advent calendar for Christmas is out. I picked one up today at Toys R Us.

I need to decide if we are going to get one this year. We will be gone the week right before xmas though.

We got our first one last year. My daughter loved it so much, I know it will be a yearly thing.

On costumes, I honestly think the best ones are home made. I can't wait to try to make a Rey costume for my daughter.

Yullin's daughter's Sabine costume was amazing.

CodeGoddess posted this info in another Thread regarding Fantasmic Dining packages for February:

I emailed Disney last week about the dining packages and someone called me yesterday. They said the dining packages would be released later this month and they are waiting for the department that schedules show times to finish the schedule.

So, show times, mainly Fantasmic's which has to coordinate with potential fireworks, haven't been set for February.

It's still going to be awhile before Season of the Force is announced. Thanks, @CodeGoddess for the info!

Same here. But I have gotten same day shipping before, so I still have my fingers crossed... Fingers crossed, and "agita", as my grandmother used to say...

Love it! My kids cracked up. I also love that the person in front of BB-8 at Wishes is recording the show on a phone. BB-8 got to have a realistic WDW experience!

Wasn't someone looking for this during SWW? There's about 10 of these left at Tattooine Traders

That was me, but a very nice DISer picked me up one and shipped it to me during the last SWW

Zam Wessel isn't too bad, but she wears pink Padme is a horrible example of how women don't need a man to define them

I was looking for a female SW costume, and my choices were regular Leia, sexy Leia, sexy Padme, sexy Han, sexy Vader, sexy Boba, or sexy Sabine. Rey, which was not overly sexy, was on back-order until 10/23 What is that telling the costume makers? They did have a Jedi costume, but DS wanted me to be a Jawa. So, that's what I went with and will probably have to cut the length.

I don't know if you can say that Hera owns Chopper though. Does anyone really own some of these droids, or do the droids own the people



Exactly That's the best description of Padme that I have ever heard

Yeah, I guess Chopper is just part of the crew. I would like to hear his origin story though.

We went to see Cirque du Soleil Kouza last night. Excellent show. I haven't seen a Cirque show in a long time. I was thinking how much it reminds me of the magic of Disney and how I think Walt Disney would have loved it. If you ever get a chance to see one, do it. La Nouba at WDW is also very good.

AHHHH Brian and I love cirque du soleil, we always see the traveling ones, I think we were looking to get tickets for this one after we come back from our trip next week. Glad to hear it was good!

Um I am short, I still kind of want that.

PSA: When costuming be careful with sheet metal or aluminum flashing it be sharp.
Today I came up with a fun Disney friendly Halloween costume. Black longsleeve undershirt, white tighter tshirt, white pants or shorts, black running tights with the shorts and a stormtrooper beanie. Mwahaha.
