Thanks for sharing the video. Love the her universe new line. It was cool to hear about where it all began.

And BTW @FastPasser I saw Linda Skywalker so it really felt like SWW

Thanks, YAY!, long live Mrs. Skywalker!!!

Do me a favor, will you be on the lookout for a 30" high CP30. I need to round out my collection.

Hey everybody! My event at Celebration went great today! DH and I are going to Galactic Nights tonight in our Sith Cheerleader outfits.

If you see us, please say HI! (I'll likely have a red rose and pompom ribbons in my hair. Sort of 1940s + cheerleader style mashup.)

Whether at Celebration or DHS, May the Force be with your Galactic Experience!

 

[SleighBelle]

@yulilin3 will you be at Galactic Nights tonight? If so, I would to find you to say "Thank you!" for all of your tips/advice.

I may or may not have seen a SW bigwig on property in the last hour, wouldn't be stunned if that one and/or others made an appearance tonight.

So jealous that I can't be there

Unfortunately not attending myself, but I'll settle for that particular sighting.

I read on another site that the event was not overcrowded at all and saw a few pics...really want to hear and see more! They also said that there were going to be additional dates released? Anyone else hear that?

 

[Mom2Stitch]

@rteetz beat me to it but here are my pictures anyways
starting tomorrow these will be available

The droid factory expands to protocol droids

May the 4th merchandise

I love the Millennium Falcon pin that can stand

Probably a silly question-what are the chances any of that May 4th stuff will still be around on May 8th?

The video on the Disney Parks Blog of the BB8 meet and greet shows families taking selfies with BB8. Does this mean there is not a Photopass Photographer? Is there a photographer for Chewie and Kylo?

I can't say for sure about BB8 since I haven't been there for him yet, but I do know that Chewie and Kylo have photographers.

There was a photopass photographer last night when we met B.B. I think they will have one with him.

Oh good! We aren't talented or experienced group-selfie takers! We might be in there all day, holding up the line, if left to take our own pics!

Hey DISers! Galactic Nights was a lot of fun. They sold just the right amount of tickets, and I hope they don't increase whatever that magic number is. Here's a few notes I found along the way:
- Dance party had a good DJ. Fun dance mashup mixes.
- Photo spots with Star Wars sets can have long lines but they move quickly.
- Stickers that combine on the back of the lanyard have special magic surprise for the end of the night.
- I didn't notice anything different on the final "fireworks" show.
- BB8 is interactive and very sweet. You can stand very close to BB8 for the photo pass picture.
- The motorcade was nothing like Star Wars weekends; it was literally just celebs in cars... no parade of troopers. However, it is always a privilege and a treat to see Peter Mayhew (such an awesome person!), Ray Park, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, and Vanessa (voice of Hera).
- GN Merchandise was minimal, such as few t-shirt designs, mugs and pin.
- I heard Rickn'roller coaster had a Star Wars overlay, but we didn't do the coaster.
- Friends went to one of the celeb-interview panels in Stunt Spectacular building, and said they enjoyed it.
- Wait lines were appreciably less. I'm sorry I don't have specifics, but under 30min and frequently 10-15 min. (Again, let's hope future GN tickets are similar.)
- Getting in at 5pm was helpful to walk around the parks to do non-GN stuff. Sticker distribution started between 6-6:30 depending on the photo location.
- They are understandably vigilant about the credentials. When thinking about your costume, bring extra safety pins for your dinner plate sized lanyard. (Seriously y'all, it's freaking huge.)
- They were not giving out Mickey bars/snacks like other night events. Gertie was open and I had ice cream. (Dinner of champions! Although, later that night I was prepared to pay for my first Mickey Bar, and the CMs at the stand said no-way it's your birthday! So we all sang Happy Birthday together. It was fun.
- Getting to the cost per value question.... that's always subjective. I suppose I'll say if this is your only DHS night AND you're a Star Wars fan, then yes it's good. If you're "meh" about SW then there may not be enough special activities unique to the night to make it "worthwhile." (Photo sets, dance party, panels, motorcade and so on.) Again, "worthwhile" is extremely subjective.

I'm heading back to Celebration for the cantina bash tonight. Hopefully, I'll be in a tiki dress (deconstructed SHAG tiki shirt) Come say hi if you find me in the sea of geeks! If you have question about DHS GN- quote part of my post so I see the reply.
