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

[yulilin3]

I hope the movie opens on the 17th at 7pm also. We have plans to spend the entire day of the 18th at DHS in case something special happens. And then watching the movie again Saturday or Sunday

I'm too impatient to wait for Monday to find out... Do people think that the movie will start at 7 pm or midnight on Thursday, December 17th? We've seen a lot of movies lately on Thursday at 7 before the official opening date (Ant Man, Guardians, etc.) For school the next day, it'd sure be nice not to keep my son up until 3 am.

As someone who works in education, you have my permission to keep your son up until 3 and to be tardy for school if you can't get to a 7pm showing. I am a dr. and will write a note if needed.

 

[yulilin3]

still rumors, but it looks like tickets might go on sale Monday around 8pm

exactly I mean you need to have your priorities straight!

For tickets, where is the best option to look? I usually buy through Fandango, but per your article @yulilin3 it sounds like theatres were put on alert as of noon today??

I go through Fandango as well

Looks like it's been confirmed - poster/logo Sunday, trailer during MNF on ESPN, tickets on sale at 8:30pm.

I will probably do the marathon at a theater with reserved seating and skip TPM and AofC so it isn't such an early morning.

I know it's selfish but I hope the first showing is midnight. That would work best with my plans already in place

I'm also getting nervous, I hope we can get tickets. I bet fandango might crash, might be best to go through the theater's website.

 

[yulilin3]

I'll be logged into the laptop and desktop. Nothing like a rush of adrenaline on a Monday night right. And then not able to sleep cause I'm so excited

You could do both. Have Brian try on one computer/website and you on another. Just don't press one of them until the other bombs out.

Disney has now posted their initial hours for next May. I have been looking out for this to see if the EMH schedule for DHS would change in the latter half of the month to reflect SWW, as in the past it doesn't look like they've held weekend EMHs during SWW (which makes sense). Currently on the schedule, there is no change in EMH from the first half of May to the second. Is this a bad sign? Did the schedules reflect SWW hours changes when they were initially released in past years? Am I just obsessive and reading too much into everything (yes)?

FWIW, I remember when they first posted the September 2015 hours they were showing MK closing at 7 on one or two nights during the week after Labor Day. Everyone assumed that meant they were going to have a MNSSHP on those nights. A month or so later, the hours updated and MK went to regular hours for those nights. My point is, it's hard to read into things like this so far out, at least that was my experience leading up to my September trip this year.

Thanks for the info. I know reading in is bad at this point, but what else have I got to do? I know that Disney regularly changes their park hours, sometimes right up to the day of, but I am wondering if there is precedent for them changing their EMH schedule after it has already been released.

 

[yulilin3]

during SWW there are no EMH at all, so not evening or morning. I wouldn't read anything into the schedule right now, it's too far out and they change it all the time

I have a close relative who does web design for a large theater chain & he confirmed that tickets for the force awakens will go on sale quietly Monday at 8:30/7:30c with a trailer showing between 9-9:30 during MNF announcing tickets on sale. He told me be ready to order at 7:30
Disney isn't even giving him artwork for the movie until Sunday night after poster release.

there's nothing that's going to go "quietly" with this movie release basically every single fan site has already said that they will go on sale, let's get ready to rumble!!!
Thanks for the heads up

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read this post...I have already promised my daughter that if she gets all A's I will take her to SWW this year. Can't say I exactly have a "Plan B".

 

[Iowamomof4]

Why do I get the feeling that it'll be well into the second week before I'll find a theater with tickets to sell me?

Plan B: She continues to get all A's and you take her to opening weekend of Star Wars Land in 5 years?

I'll be taking her there even if she gets all F's...
