Anxiously awaiting when I can book in May.

@The Sunrise Student is at DHS right now and they didn't receive the new, Rogue One 2.0 MB or the new nametags they had to order using the app

Just booked for 1/5, 4 adults (yikes!!) DD 12 and DS 10 (hardly adults)

 

[DatFan]

Also just booked Dessert Party Thur Jan 5th for 2 adults and 2 kids. This thread is awesome!

Come to think of it....any AP or DVC discounts for the dessert party???

Anyone know what January Fantasmic times will look like with the apparent schedule change?

Anyone know what January Fantasmic times will look like with the apparent schedule change?

they will more than likely stay at 7pm because they have already sold dinning packages for that and they very rarely change on such short notice, I'm expecting park closing hours to change to probably 7:30pm or 8pm

I reported on this calendar change about 1 month ago, but here's another heads up. If you are coming for SW Celebration in April, DHS might be putting on a special after hours event 4/14. Only day that DHS closes at 7pm (all other days they close at 8pm) and there is no Fantasmic that night

Whooo-hooo! Just booked the dessert party for 1/22! You guys rock at letting us lurkers know when things open up!

Interesting though, the park schedule still doesn't show the Star Wars Galactic Spectacular happening that day.

 

[Mutant]

it was $249 total for 3 adults & 1 kid (assuming my 11-year-old was charged as an adult even though he won't get the adult beverages).

I just booked for 4 adults & it was $279, so it looks like you did get a discount for the 11 year old.

I know, it's a mess. But I'm hoping they fix it today. Once people book the dessert party that time is pretty much set

Quoted the wrong post by mistake!

How does it (Rogue One) compare to The Force Awakens as far as the kid factor? I mean, I'm trying to decide if we can all go together or if I should preview it first. How bloody is it? I'm sure it's violent, I keep hearing "it's a war movie" and all, so I get that. I had no problems with my kids seeing TFA, so I guess I'm just wondering how this compares for anyone who has seen it yet. Thanks!

EDIT: Another question I have is are there any jump-scares? Like the one in TFA when the animal on Han's ship suddenly appears through the door. You don't have to say where they appear, just whether there are any. Thanks!

Jump scares: I don't recall any but there are A LOT of loud explosions through out
I would say if you have kids that get easily attached to characters during a film, this one will be very, very tough. I usually don't get emotional during movies and I knew what was going to happen but I still got chocked up, a lot
If you are not sure, I would watch it without the kids first, you know your kids best. I have taken my 7 and 9 year old nephews to watch Force Awakens, I am not taking them to watch this one, but it's a personal choice.
And as for bloody, it's not bloody (as in blood pouring out of you)

January 4 timing must not be correct at this point. Park closes at 7 with Fantasmic at 7. MDE has Star Wars fireworks at 6:30 and says the dessert party is at 6:15. Something does not look right.

Have a question for you. Do you need to have a Park Ticket at the time you book the Dessert Party? I'm still debating whether to get a one or two day ticket, but still want to figure out if I can book the party first and then get the Theme Park ticket when I get there.

that's a good question, I would think you don't need a ticket when you book, you need one on the day of your party

that's what I've been saying in the last 2 pages, park hours should update soon, with the dessert party at 6:15pm the show will be at 7:30pm

We had a great time at the meet up for the movie. Check in was easy, picking seats was easy, people were happy and friendly, characters were AMAZING (and the couple next to us at Wolfgang Pucks gave us their desserts from their dining plan since they weren't going to use them). It was awesome seeing @yulilin3 daughter Stephanie and Lewis on the big screen during the Disney Parks Blog recap video from the the Death Star event! My pictures are still too big to post but you can check out Lewis on the parks blog twitter https://twitter.com/DisneyParks/status/809584601308037120
He is the one with Yoda on his back. I don't think I have ever seen him so excited.

The movie was amazing! Even when I knew what was going to happen it still kept me fully invested. I loved the characters and K-2 was so great! I also loved the little connections to the original movies. It has been a long time since I've seen a movie in a theater with a group of true fans and I loved hearing every one react.

Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but Disney should be handing out Rogue One buttons at Launch Bay today, too.
