OMFG.

I am done. I'm just done. I dont want to see Christmas in mid November. I WANT to see Star Wars. For Disney to be making these changes a month before travel is ridiculous. On top of my Dinosaur FP being cancelled because it won't be up on time, and no indication of RoL for November, no msep... after this trip, I'm not going back for awhile.

I know what you mean!
We had nights set aside for the Star Wars Fireworks, & for the Launch Bay Dessert Party!

Disney, IMO,
is deliberately delaying the debut of ROL for Jan. 2017,
SO they can promote an
" ' Awaken Winter '/Book NOW!

promoting the Star Wars FW
NOW INCL Special scenes from
the NEW Rogue One!;

AND the phenomenally unique ROL!

together with a nighttime extravaganza @ Animal Kingdom, featuring Mezmerizing Projector Shows on AK's Iconic Tree of Life,
nighttime Kilimanjaro Safaris; Acrobatsancers/Musicians on Discovery Island, and more!

BOOK NOW
( we are fully booked for the Holidays from Nov. TO Jan ;
PLUS we HAVE your Holiday $$$$$$;

BUT we need to fill ( discounted) rooms in Jan., thru early Feb!

BOOK a NEW Trip for Jan./Feb.,
AND we will allow you to SEE the Star Wars FW on SELECTED nights! "

ok when is the last SW fireworks show? and is there news if it is coming back after Christmas? (Sorry, I cannot read 615 pages)

The last date shown is 11/5.

 

[Elliemay2]

Okay. So does this mean there will be something else SW in the works?

no additional info. I have a dedicated post on page one for the event. The only thing we have is the date and time. The news of Star Wars Galactic Nights was first posted on this thread then all the other bloggers reported it

Do you think they will show the movie on the 16th before the rumored event?

The movie comes out on the 16th (I'm assuming first showing will be Thursday the 15th at 7pm how they've done will all major blockbusters) The event is called Star Wars Galactic Nights so it's not necessarily a tie in with the movie
SWaGS will come back December 31st

I completely understand people's frustration but it should be kind of expected. Disney has been very slow at updating calendars for the fireworks and DHS is missing holiday entertainment this year without the Osborne lights. This new show helps fill that void. I expect this show to be awesome.

I hope you are right. I'd been imagining some lame last minute attempt but I booked the dessert party anyway, it seems like it will be a nice, special experience for a very limited time and we'll just catch SWaGS on our next time around... which could be in years. If not that, something else. I was relieved when I brought up the rumor with kiddo this morning that he seemed even more excited about christmas than star wars. whew!

 

[pumpkinjl]

Thanks Disney. Looks like we will be going to Universal for an extra day now.

Thanks Disney. Looks like we will be going to Universal for an extra day now.

Because of a fireworks show?

something that Disney does very well is entertainment, with only a couple of negatives (Jungle Book) they know how to deliver a good show. The dessert party seems to have a lot of improvements and I hope they trickle down to the SW dessert party once that comes back up

Universal is awesome!! I hope you have a great time, check out How the Grinch Stole Christmas show if it's playing when you go, it's really good

the SWaGS show was a known good show and this is an unknown. Plus I am very sad over the loss of Osborne. But I am still very excited to book this experience! can't wait for the reviews to start rolling in in a month!

I just re read everything and it says that SWaGS is returning December 31st

That doesn't help those of us who are there in November.

The Dessert Party for the HS Holiday Projected-onto-the-Chinese-Theater is $69 per Adult,
WITH NO free gift like for the Osborne Lights Dessert Party!,
AND like for receiving the FREE Chewie Stein @ the Star Wars Dessert Party!

DVC Member Services checked for me,
AND it!s 69$--MVMCP Prices--with NO FREE gift!

This does NOT makeup for ditching the Star Wars FW
until 2017 ( outside of New Year!s Eve which will likely SEE the Park closing due to reaching capacity!),

NOR for forever Cancelling the MSEP for ever!

 

[rangerxenos]

Both the dessert party post and the fireworks post on page 1 have been updated to reflect the show going into hiatus from November 6th until December 30th

I am so mad right now -- thanks a bunch, Disney.

 

[100acreHiker]

Add me to the list of those disappointed by the news. Of course, any show is better than none, for sure, but we are Star Wars folks and I'm bringing family along and they're not Disney people and I know they were actually excited about Star Wars stuff. It really surprises me, with Rogue 1 coming out then, too. Oh well! We'll give the new show a try since we planned to be there for the night and hope for the best, but honestly, it all looks a bit cutesy.

I have read your posts on this thread and truly understand your frustration.
I would recommend sending an email to Disney and let them know how you feel. It's all fine and well to blow off some steam but there's very little we can do here but to sympathize/ . Here's their email address

Thanks. I'm not sure if you are being sincere or snarky - feel like Disney stole Star Wars!! We are huge Star Wars fans and we had actually planned to stay an extra day just for the dessert party and SWaGS. We have never experienced either. I'm sure the Christmas show is awesome (in fact, since it's Disney I know it is), but I, like the other posters, was not looking for more Christmas at Thanksgiving. I am really disappointed. I just don't think the show will be worth the extra money for another park day. Especially when we could spend the day in Universal. Thank you for the awesome job that you do on keeping up the SW stuff. I appreciate your diligence to keep us all up to date!

Not at all snarky. I truly love Universal, my son works there too. It does suck that they gave so little time for a heads up. The osborne lights used to be turned on early November, last year it was November 6th so this is noot new.

Ditto! AND we wanted SWaGS,
NOT " Cutesy " !

We left evenings open for SWaGS AND for ROL//
YET I still booked the Dessert Party for the " Cutesy " Holiday -Themed Projector Show!

Thank you @yulilin3 And thank you @yulilin3 for starting this thread & how awesome your info is--maybe WHY I wanted to SE SWaGS so bad! You @yulilin3 truly go above & beyond in answering our questions, and keeping us all up -to -date and encouraged!
Thanks again @yulilin3 !
