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

[Pixie Dust ✨]

If I may take a moment with my Star Wars DIS family.
I am trying very hard to get back to "normal". Yesterday's events have shaken Orlando to the core. Being latina (most of the victims in Pulse were latin), a mom of a bisexual kid (my 15 year old daughter) and having a kid that works for Universal it has affected us in every single way.
The names are trickling out and so far we have 26 confirmed victims of which one worked in the same vicinity as my son, 2 victims were friends of a close friend of mine and there's unofficial word that there are at least 13 CM dead.
When you guys come on your vacations be extra nice to the CM and TM you encounter. We are all in mourning right now. The beautiful collage of pictures from yesterday's entertainment at both theme parks proves that we all stand united.
Thank you for reading

Thank you for sharing your feelings. I am so sorry. Thoughts & love to the victims, their families, and everyone in Orlando.

Hi, My boys plan on wearing their Kylo Ren costumes for the meet and greet. Just wondering if any adults are cosplaying/Disneybounding at HS. I would really like to Disney Bound as Rey.... Has anyone else done this?

Please share your pics!

I have seen people Disney bounding as Rey. Not a lot of SW Disney bound though. On May 4th people were actually wearing full out costumes, even the adults, I guess Disney decided to look the other way that day
Here's a pic I found just by googling. I don't think you would have any problems with doing something like this

Daily check of the HUB and still nothing on dessert party for July or updated times for the SW fireworks after July 2nd.
Additionally the times guide went to print this week without the additional Fantasmic! shows for Friday and Saturday so if you are coming this weekend know that there will be 2 Fantasmic shows Friday and Saturday
Also I would like to thank the generosity of @Lsdolphin it looks like I will be joining all of you at the dessert party on Friday thank you so much
See you guys there

Thanks for taking the time to Google this. I have been on Pinterest all morning! I'm just wondering what I can wear that isn't too much like a costume, don't want to break the rules or be denied entry to the park.

I have gray capris, white t shirt and a tan long sleeveless cardigan. It will be too hot for boots so I will just wear sandals and I won't do arm wraps she wears... Need to find a belt and a pouch...

I also need to work on the Rey hairstyle........ I've spent years perfecting the Princess Leia buns....... lots of bobby pins and hairspray LOL!

I think what the girls are wearing is fine and it shouldn't be considered too much of a costume

I was thinking about you and your family when I heard about this. It brought back many memories of the bombing in OKC. I grew up there, my bank was in that building, my mom had worked there before the bombing, not during, and my family knew of several people that were killed or injured. What happened in Orlando is a terrible shame on humanity. It will take a long time for the wounds to heal, but hopefully, it will unite people in Orlando more, including residents, CMs, and guests. I hope it empowers people more to be nice and kind to each other at the parks and on the boards. A lot of negative things have been going on with budget cuts, crowds, etc, but everything pales to this event. My heart goes out to your family and everyone affected.

I travel to Disney around 3x a year for races and it feels like my second home. So, I am still just devastated and saddened by it. I'm not sure how else to put it to words. It seems so many in the area have a connection to someone hurt by this. And even as I read the bios of the victims, the first I read was actually someone from here in Cleveland who was visiting. Just know we are all thinking of you, Orlando.

Thank you everyone for your support. My son didn't want to stay at work yesterday (he was singing with the Frog Choir), go to his gig with his band at Tin Roof last night or go in today to Diagon Alley but somehow the out pouring of love from every where got him through.
He took part in the heart photo from entertainment with the Frog Choir
Tin Roof gave 100% of the proceeds of the purple pulse drink to the go fund me account last night
and this morning managers and cast came together at Diagon Alley and told everyone " it's our job to help people smile today" so that's what he's been doing
I can feel your love.

Thank you for sharing - and hope that conversing here can help even a tiny amount in taking your mind off it

I work in/near New York so after 9/11 it was just an anguish feeling waiting to hear if you would know the next victim name released

Definitely prayers to you and your family and the whole community - it has been wonderful seeing the outpouring of support from the extended community down there. Let us know of anything else we can do

Hugs to you and your family and your extended family right now. I can't imagine how this all must feel - but we are with you and support you! I'm sure this is so difficult for your son to go back to work and hopefully the love will continue to help him face the struggles. <3

 

[yulilin3]

Thank you again everyone, I would like to get back to the SW planning/waiting but before I do just a heads up for those coming this weekend.
There's a fan based (not Disney) meet at the Partner's statue at MK this Saturday from 11pm to 11:30pm for the kiss goodnight where we will be coming together to remember the victims of the Pulse club shooting and their families.
I'll be there, if you want to join you are more than welcome, again, not Disney planned, there's a facebook page for the event if you want to RSVP.
Disney Community #OrlandoStrong Vigil
The park closes at 11pm that night so if you want to attend you need to be inside MK before 11pm
Now let's get on with the....waiting for fireworks hours to be released

I've been so busy I haven't had the chance to catch up. I said I would post it here first...

I have a dessert party for 2 on Friday, June 17th that I am going to cancel. I know it's last minute but wanted to see if any one wanted to coordinate the cancellation. I'm at the pool right now so will check back in a little while.

PM me if you want to try to coordinate.

 

[DVC4US]

Also, for everyone going to the desserts party on the 17th. I will have on my Disney Dooney & Bourke purse with my rainbow tribute on the strap. I should be easy to spot.

what a great idea with the MB

 

[DVC4US]

Thanks! I was in my room yesterday getting ready to go into a park and searching for something to use to make a ribbon or something and then I saw the MBs and thought - perfect. I wore them yesterday and will wear them all week so if you see me say hi!
