**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

So I could pretty much pick any weekend between January 8th and March 20 if I wanted to be there? I know it's probably early and these details maybe aren't out yet. It looks to me like it is running through those two dates and not intermittently but just wanting to be sure. (I would be there for 4 days over the weekend) Just a bit excited lol.

It's daily but with fireworks only on the weekend nights.

right, anytime during those dates will be Season of the Force, which will include:
Launch Bay
New Star Tours sequence
SW fireworks (only on weekends)
specialty food and merchandise
I'm expecting the DPB to announce more details about this event this coming week since they already announced DL starting dates

I'm still holding out hope for a character meal, I am thrilled we will actually be there for the event, all 5 of us in my family love Star Wars so everyone will be super excited.

if there's any Season of the Force meals it will probably be Rebel Hangar again, Sci Fi and Hollywood and Vine are already booking their slots with regular menus. Sci Fi is offering breakfast until January 26th but that's just a test... it could change though

I am wondering if they are testing Sci-Fi breakfast and starting the 27th will turn it into a character breakfast for Star Wars. Completely in my head so do not want to start a rumor, just an observation.

not sure, by what I've heard the cast of Sci Fi were told that no SW breakfast would be offered at all, but Disney can change their minds. I hope they bring it back, it has been a highlight for the past 2 years and by how fast it books and the positive reviews you would THINK that they would do it again

Don't know how reputable this site is, but under the Rumors Timeline on this page, it lists Season of the Force dates as January 8-March 20 2016. http://www.wdwthemeparks.com/rumors/2014/08/10/major-overhaul-coming-to-hollywood-studios

those dates would work out great for our mid- late January trip!! Fingers crossed they are correct (so we can see SOF in January) and that SWW happens "as usual"

I'm a little confused about Seasons of the Force. Won't Launch Bay and the new sequence at Star Tours be year round? So, will the extras at Seasons of the Force be the fireworks and the themed food/merchandise?

I'm hoping these dates means that they might be keeping SWW at least one more year too! Do we know if they do have SWW are there any rumors that they might have any special character meals? We were hoping to do both meals on our upcoming May trip but now it sounds like they won't have either. I'm starting to plan out our dining and I'm wondering if we should just book alternative ADRs for our Studios days or if there is a chance they could have a meal after all.

 

[AThrillingChase]

Hooray, disney actually didn't screw up for my trip! Haha. So SOF will begin during marathon weekend. An interesting choice but since I am running the half on Jan 9th, I will take it!! And I will watch those amazing fireworks all 3 weekend nights.

Except now, I have a race/SOF trip in Jan. A SW race in April. And, I will have to make SWW.

Here Mickey. Here is all my money.

Well frac... I'm there from 12/31 - 1/3 for the Osborne Lights and it'll be nigh-impossible for me to pull together a trip for SotF if it only runs til March. Although, aside from the fireworks, I can't see what they'll be doing that wouldn't already be in place at DHS while I'm there (maybe with a little luck they'll "test" the new fireworks show on the third. )

They worst part is that it was economically feasible to pick up an AP this year starting with the Osborne trip because I was figuring I'd be doing SotF at least if not SWW... but with SotF not doable now I've got to play the guessing game with SWW...

We are all on the same confused boat mainly because Disney hs not released any real details on it.
Launch Bay should stay in place through the entire construction process (this is only my opinion)
No clue how long the new ST sequence will last but I can see i being permanent (again no details yet)
Season of the Force is basically just the fireworks at this point, that's the only thing Disney has announced that is exclusive to this event
SWW still shows on the events calendar as Summer 2016 (which is Disney talk for May/June) Many rumors flying both ways on if it will happen or not.
At the end of this years SWW, entertainment performers were told that no more Disney characters in SW attire would be out, they didn't confirm NO character dinner but it's looking unlikely
Sci Fi CM were told a couple of months ago no SWW breakfast
The only thing I could see happening again is Rebel Hangar (for details on Rebel Hangar look at the first page of this post)
I would plan with whatever is out now and then be ready to change plans if they announce anything

that's the thing no additional info on SotF have been announced other than the fireworks. I'm hoping for an announcement this week

FWIW, Hollywood and Dine? Vine? (I never eat there lol) has no dinner times available Jan.8 through March (I just did a random sampling). I just noticed while I went in to make an ADR at HS to coincide with the fireworks.

Ps, autocorrect changed "with" up there to "sith". Excelllent work.

Thank you for spelling this all out. I've been so torn, trying to decide if we want to scrape our money together for a trip down sometime between Jan and May, but with everything you just listed I think it sounds like there won't be enough to do. Most of the things I'm interested in should still be there when we go back next September (minus the fireworks, which would be really cool to see in person). I'll keep watching to see what other details they release as we move forward but I'm unimpressed so far.

Super Sleuths!!! I swear, Star Wars Weekends and Disney in general get the investigative angle out of everyone
You are right. No dinner is showing for H&V starting January 4th.

just keep your eyes and ears open to anything. As soon as I get any new info I update the first couple of posts, so you could just go on there and check, I explain the color code so it's easy to find what's new

*crosses fingers

I actually prefer the movie characters vs disney as SW. So even if they change it a little, that works for me!

This is exciting news about the fireworks. We will be at Disney January 9th -13th, and if these fireworks are as good as the Frozen fireworks, it will definitely be worth a trip over to HS to see them. We'll also be back in early June, so I'm hoping for SWW then, too. We have been fans since the original movies came out. In fact, we saw the original movies when they originally came out.

I'll definitely keep watching for updates.

If they are anything like Symphony in the Stars they are better than the Frozen fireworks
