Why can't this be in September!!

Coinciding with Celebration

 

[AngiTN]

Oh my word, would we love that new SW night. Why, oh why not have it closer to the dates for the Dark Side Marathon? We'll be down for that but not as early as the 14th. Don't they realize how many coming to it would want to do this special night too?

Ah, ok. Bummer it's a weekend before the Dark Side. We just can't swing a full week then. We have to be home the weekend before

The SW:GN Party, should I or Shouldn't I?!?!

We are coming to Celebration, and we are going to Disney before it.... Hmmmmm

UPDATE: we are going.... just bought our tickets.

I trusted in the force. Signed up for galactic nights..Super excited!! I hope to see lots of you there.

I'm buying tickets tonight and will mention an interesting tidbit that isn't on the website in the Celebration thread. Really excited to be in DHS without as much Easter weekend crowds.

Haven't read this yet https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/e...?campaignid=61928296&iusercampaignid=95789473

Even though we already had plans with our costuming club that night, we still bought tickets. I think we'll take a look at the schedule when it gets closer to know when we'll arrive to the party. I think our strategy is that we'll have already done the rides on other park days, so we can just take time to soak in the party atmosphere and take pictures with the backdrops and characters. (hehehehe…. DH and I always get a kick when we're taking pictures with folks in costume not in our costuming clubs.)

We're also not going to plan to do the dessert party during our Celebration trip to try to balance out the costs a teensy bit. We have (in theory) two nights to see the "fireworks show" so I'm not overly concerned about getting the best viewing location.

Thanks again for posting. Hope to see some of y'all there!


PS: Anyone wonder why it's called Galactic Nights? Anyone suspect another night is on the way?

It would be really nice, given that this is an AP year for us. We would definitely squeeze out another trip for this.

 

[tstidm1]

I think we may see another night around Half Marathon the following weekend and possibly May 4th or 5th (Star Wars and Sith Days). Let's see if this sells out first before we speculate more on additional nights.

 

[KayKayJS]

We bought tickets. I think it's gonna sell out.

Question for those who dress up: It seems the costume guidelines match the halloween party. Are we good to bring lightsabers?

 

[yulilin3]

It was suppose to be the night after Rogue One came out and for some reason they cancelled it.
I wonder how long until it sells out, pretty broke right now but I really want to go. My daughter even told me that she doesn't need to go, so I can buy the ticket

 

[cvjpirate]

If I lived closer I would be all over the event.

 

[Cluelyss]

Tell me about it. I don't think its going to happen for us a month after a week long trip!

We get home 10 days before this....don't think I can talk the hubby into another trip quite that soon! Lol! Sure hope they do more of these....

They also called it a "debut" which would most certainly imply more than one.
I wouldn't use that term for one night annually, that would be inaugural.
DS suggested since it was on Friday, maybe a sell out would create another on Saturday.

When they stopped SWW, understandable due to the construction and reduced space to work in,
DS & I both said we thought a version would be back at some point, as a ticketed (pay) event.

Maybe this is practice run?

 

[nancipants]

I thought about buying tickets, but there's no way I want to go to Hollywood Studios after attending the convention all day.

 

[yulilin3]

So I just got back home and checked the HUB
Here's what I found

We bought tickets. I think it's gonna sell out.

Question for those who dress up: It seems the costume guidelines match the halloween party. Are we good to bring lightsabers?

Some lightsabers have intricate wiring, but I would hope that simply turning it on to show security that it's a light-device would would be okay. Personally, I would LOVE to see a bunch of lightsabers making a rainbow tribute.
