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

Now that the news of the Osborne lights has settled in my head I now think that SWW will in fact happen next year or else they would've announced it as cancelled...right?

I like your way of thinking. Hoping you're right!

 

[yulilin3]

me too I couldn't take more closures from DHS. But this is necessary for the new things that are coming up, it's just sad.

 

[sophy1996]

again, unrelated but I have to share my memories of the Osborne lights. They have been a part of my family christmas traditions ever since they were on Residential Street.

I actually saw them in Little Rock when they were still on the Osbornes' property(ies). My father lived in Little Rock, very near the Osbornes, and we went over to check them out. Total chaos--which is why the display ended up at WDW.

I like this thinking! And I was right about breaking ground. Sooo...yes. SWW will happen. I can feel it. Haha

I am so sad about the lights. I just cant imagine they would completely drop them. Cant they move them to disney springs or epcot?? Do you have any friends at HS who could pester a little? Lol

I just can't see them taking SWW away before the new land opens. If they did, it would leave very little SW presence in the parks (even with Launch Bay coming) as all of the new movies are hitting. I guess we don't know what Season of the Force is yet, but I can't see them dropping weekends in place of it unless it is comparable. It just makes zero business sense from a SW franchise stand point and for DHS.

That being said, I sure wish they would release more info on SotF. I would like to plan a trip to DL for Feb, but I only want to do it if SotF will be happening by then. Sorry Yoda, patience is hard!

DPB Thomas Smith said that they are not going to be relocated and the son in law of Jennings Osborne said that they had a meeting with the Disney show producers and they are getting an inventory of the entire lights for them to have back

I'm less concerned with them GETTING RID OF SWW than I am with the RESCHEDULING it. I can't see them eliminating, but moving it... to an even less busy time of year... maybe.

I hope not. As a DVC member we already booked accommodations for May. We just can't wait until they release dates in Dec (assuming that's when they do) and still ensure that we get what we want room-wise and use our points before they expire.

I can still see Dave

They fixed it.

They fixed it.

I'm on my cell and still can't see him.

For the 3rd time this year, one of our cars has been involved in an accident, while I was driving. At the beginning of the year, someone just decided that they wanted to be in my lane, without even signaling, while I was in my baby, my little convertible She said she didn't even see me. I said I know; I saw her face and she never moved her head to even look out the window or at a mirror. Then on the way back from picking up the car at the body shop, a tire tread got thrown up into the front bumper. Had to replace the whole bumper.

Last night during the rain on the way home from work, someone pulled out of a gas station and made a blind left turn into the side rear of our other car. He hit me so hard that it pushed the car into the curb on the complete opposite side of the road (the oncoming traffic side). Luckily, there wasn't anyone coming right then, and I was able to quickly get back into my lane. However, it broke the wheel, and the car is not drivable. He then tried to blame me, saying I was driving too fast. Mind you, I had just been completely stopped at the light in traffic, seconds before, and was only just able to pull into the left turn lane. Plus, it was raining, and the car is rear-drive with performance tires. He had called the cops but wasn't willing to wait for them. I had no choice. DH had to pick me up, and we had to wait for the tow truck. The cop was nice. She said he was lucky he didn't wait, because she would have given him a citation for making a blind left turn out of a driveway, across 2 lanes of traffic. No one was hurt, thank goodness.

I decided to work from home today. I just couldn't take the thought of damaging the other car that just got out of the body shop Sorry for the rant. DH is tired of me talking about it.

Well, I hadn't thought of it, but I see your concern. I often see DVC members commenting on the issue, regardless of the occasion they are trying to work around. It's crappy that you buy into it but fly blind for booking around Disney's awful calendar. And for anyone planning a trip to either Disney, it's not cheap, so it would definitely help everyone if they would release dates a year out. I am sure there is some reason they don't, but it is hard to understand from this side!

@soniam that totally stinks. I would be feeling the same way! I'm glad no one has been hurt in any of these accidents. Hopefully, you have fulfilled your quota for a lifetime!

That's a bummer. I really hate when traditions have to end, especially xmas ones. Austin has this thing every year called the Trail of Lights. It's a bunch of lights, music, and figures situated around the park, and you walk through them. They have hot cocoa and these really huge burning yule logs. During the downturn, they didn't do it one year. We really missed it. Luckily, it came back.

Maybe this is an opportunity for Universal Studios. They have all of those cool buildings. I bet the lights would look good there.

UGH. How on earth did you decide this was a good idea Disney. This is way worse than changing maelstrom.

Did you get his license plate or something I hope? I hope that they give him leaving the scene.

He didn't want to give it to me at first. He wanted to wait for the cops. However, when he decided to bail, he asked to exchange info. So, no hit and run. He just got tired of waiting. Plus, we have hit and run coverage, because that has happened to us before. Thanks
