Theme Park Tourist reporting that SWaGS is done Oct 1. Is this the general feeling on this thread????? Or has disney just not updated schedule yet???

plenty of rumors about it not being nightly but nothing can be confirmed until it's on the HUB and/or reported on the Disney Parks Blog.

We did ST last Oct. This is the first I have heard of someone being a rebel spy. Please elaborate....

the storyline on every ride is that C3PO gets stuck being our pilot, the first destination is either with Vader or droid that stops our transport because they are looking for a Rebel Spy, after scanning our passenger Vader or the Droid find the Rebel Spy and post his or her picture on the screen. It then becomes the mission to get the Rebel Spy safe to wherever he or she is going.
Basically a computer (and sometimes a CM) randomly pick someone on the ride to be the rebel spy. In this video you can see the Rebel spy at min 1:44

just read the article you are refering to.
Entertainment schedule is usually out only 3 weeks in advance. So as of now we have a schedule out, only until Sept 24th for the Chewbacca meet, Kylo Ren meet, SW a Galaxy Far Far Away show, March of the first Order show. This also includes the Mickey Minnie meet, Disney Jr. meet...
The schedules for the SWaGS show along with the dessert party come out together, and sometimes a day apart. And have been only updating about a month to 45 days in advance.
Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it until officially announced as cancelled

For Star Tours - I read a tip here (or maybe it was touring plans?) to buckle quickly and then sit still and look straight ahead to help increase chances of being picked as the rebel spy as it helps with the photo for it. I told my 6yo that and it totally worked! He was chosen and it made his day. Definitely worth a try

I really can't see them cancelling it. It's a big draw for the studios right now and with RnRc going down for a refurb in October they need to have things there for people to do.

here is the exact phrasing:


Over the summer, Disney’s Hollywood Studios premiered the new Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular nighttime show, and while reviews have generally been positive, many guests have complained throughout the summer that the show is really hard to see from anywhere other than right in front of the Great Movie Ride, and relies too much on projections rather than pyrotechnics.


However, no matter what your feelings are on the quality of Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, it looks like Disney may be considering temporarily pulling this show for the fall season (and possibly beyond). According to the official park calendar, the final day that this show is scheduled to be performed will be October 1, 2016. And while it is possible that Disney might just need to update their calendar for the fall, the corresponding dessert party that goes along with this nightly experience is also not available for reservations beyond October 1st, lending credence to the idea that this show is indeed going to be going away for a little while while Disney either switches to a seasonal schedule or pulls it completely for a few weeks or months.

While it may be easy to jump to conclusions here and assume that this show has been completely cancelled, Disney has spent a significant amount of money not only in developing this show, but installing support infrastructure around the park for it as well, which is why we can’t imagine that Disney would cancel Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular outright. However, a little break at least until the holidays or at least a switch to a seasonal schedule would make some sense, especially since we know that budget cuts are on the way. Perhaps this show will return this winter with new footage from Star Wars: Rogue One?

Given the fact that Disney has been updating the schedule a couple of weeks before the month of the schedule for nearly a year now (right @yulilin3? i feel like I've seen you say before they have been doing this for the better part of the year) I don't think it means a thing that it's not updated past october yet. this has been their pattern. Also his phrasing indicates COMPLETE conjecture based on nothing else than his read of the landscape as it is right now and not even taking into account what the past pattern has been.

I don't understand why people make up rumors like this based on incomplete information. If they are really interested in following you'd think they would know the historical data.

Quick question... I'm going to the dessert party on a Friday with evening EMH. Does Launch Bay stay open during EMH? Also, are character meet & greets available during EMH (Olaf, Mickey & Minnie, etc)?

No other characters are available for evening EMH

I've been lurking on this thread for
months now and have enjoyed everyone's feedback and info on things SW. We last went February 2015 before a lot of these things existed, so the info has been great! While patiently waiting for October Star Wars FW schedule to be released, y'all have convinced me to splurge on the dessert party. I'm a single mom of two boys (7 and 2) and we are all huge SW fans. Our DHS evening will be 10/2 (only 31 days away- who's counting?). Really hoping Disney releases info soon!

 

[Missyrose]

But they just did an overnight rehearsal of SWaGS, why would they do that if Disney was pulling it in a couple of weeks? I don't buy the rumor at all.

If they were really worried about the sightless and wanting to re-do them, just bring back Symphony for a month or two. E-Z P-Z.

Welcome to our Star Wars Dis Family!!!

I didn't know about the overnight on SWaGS, I knew about the overnight on SWaGFFA. Yeah, it would be very strange for them to cancel after only 4 months and with it being as popular as it is

I'm going October 22 to 29, I'll be really ticked. Rumors that October is going to be more crowded than summer and they pull this? Plus no word on Rivers of Light?

 

[CounselorX]

I think that article is ********. We waited up to the last minute for Disney to release the September schedule, so Disney is probably doing the same with October. They've just been slow to release schedules lately... doesn't mean they're cancelling the show.
