I was wondering if that was you

I know you have posted the email before, but with all the talk of emailing Disney maybe now would be a good time to re post it? (yea i didn't write it down shame on me)

I was just reading the comments on the story on the DPB and someone asked
Will the new Star Tours scene appear randomly, with equal chances with other scenes, always appear, or appear randomly with greater chances than other scenes?
And here's the answer: For a limited time, everyone who rides Star Tours will experience the new adventure

I asked on DPB what an end date was for SoF... trying to read any possible tea leaves re SWW, and this is all I got (below). Uh... Yeah... I know it hasn't been ANNOUNCED... thus the question...

Hi Carolyn – And end date has not yet been announced.

Haha, I asked, too, and obviously got the same answer. With several folks asking, maybe it will light a fire under Mickey's tail...

Thank You Yulilin!!

It's a little more than just a ball. A self-stabilizing RC ball is actually a pretty complicated thing, especially in such a small package. Then you add the head, which doesn't just stay in one exact place. Gyros that small are pretty amazing.

Oh I'm no disparaging the tech behind it at all... It's a marvel of technology and, as a geek (and engineer) I'm very impressed with it. But as a potential christmas gift for a child who might not fully understand why it's so impressive? An Anki Drive might be a better choice than a BB8 at that price point...

Unfortunate timing. November 15th is my last day at DL. November 16th is the first day for Hyperspace Mountain and the new adventure at Star Tours. I guess I'll need to plan another trip.

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

I probably missed this somewhere...is Hyperspace Mt only at DL or is it at WDW as well?

Thanks

I'm assuming from what I've seen that Season of the Force begins in Disneyland California on November 15th? And that they haven't announced anything about when it begins in Florida? So there could be a distinct possibility that when I am in Florida in Mid December of this year, that it could possibly be happening then? Or is it definitely during early 2016 in Florida?

DS would be happy with a Roomba too. BB8 is kind of like a smarter, less controllable, less cool, uglier BB8 However, I think kids who like robots and such could really like BB8. I don't know how DS will react yet, because it's an xmas present. However, he loves the droid and is always looking for an excuse to use our phones, so that will probably help

Hi Carolyn – And end date has not yet been announced.

No ending date announced seems promising to me. I hope it runs through the regular SWW time. I think I could handle if SOTF, Launch Bay, Vader Visa M&G, and new ST scene replaced SWW this year. I would have really liked to see the celebrity parade and the shows though. However, I could live with a little less, but not much. If they do essentially replace SWW with SOTF, then they had better add some really good M&Gs and some awesome eating options with SW theming and/or characters.

I thought it was announced that Launch Bay and the new ST scene would be available in December, so you would probably get those. No dates yet for SOTF, starting or ending.

This is such good news since our next trip is Nov 25-Dec 4. Any thoughts on FP+ availability for the meets? Coincidentally today is my 60 day mark.

See, that's what I don't get. Pretty much every review of the Sci-Fi breakfast was positive, from the food to the character interactions. Why would they have these two great events for one year and then get rid of them. Only thing I can think of is that it wasn't cost effective, which I don't get because even with the DDP they were charging 2 credits per meal.

I'm not sure how it could NOT have been cost effective....$50 per adult for breakfast? Yes, it was good and we are (were?) planning to do it again, but no way was that a money loser for Disney. I seem to recall reading that the characters were not Disney cast members, but volunteers, like 501st.

So what are the chances that the Season of the Force will replace Frozen Summer Fun next summer? I know the Frozen pinata still has a good bit of candy left inside of it, but is it even remotely possible?

I've been wondering the SAME thing! By next summer they'll have the new Frozen ride at Epcot and the new Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet also in Epcot. Maybe it'll be time to move on to the next big thing for a summer DHS event.

I have checked the Southwest site a few times and still see "on October 27, 2015 we will open our schedule for sale through June 3, 2016". Where are you seeing that Southwest will open the flights next week? I hope they do cause I'm dying to book my flight for my May trip (and hoping SWW occurs)

It used to say September 29......so we thankfully have another month now for Disney to announce SOMETHING.

 

[msmama]

I'm officially giving up on SWW for 2016. I decided that even if it's happening, I am not taking my son out of school for it. *sigh*

But, I did just book a couple of days in November to see the Osborne lights and go to the Christmas party, plus a trip to the legoland hotel (which was supposed to be a few weeks ago but I had to cancel because I had pneumonia).

And we decided to go during our random spring break (but after spring break season) in April so I will keep my fingers crossed for SW stuff happening then. Though it is really difficult to plan for the week before May 4th!!

Ok glad to see I'm not delusional in my thinking here. I'm no marketing genius or anything but from what I read, the offerings are gonna be pretty slim in both Epcot and MGM so why wouldn't they try to attract more people to each park with two very popular and well known IPs. Hell they could probably work a deal with Sphero to do some kind of display somewhere in epcot too, with theme of bb8 and robotics. I'm sure that would be an interesting draw as well.
