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

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Yay I'll be at Disneyland in mid December for my ABD DISunplugged trip!!! So not only will we be in Hollywood for the movie release, but we'll also get to ride Hyperspace Mountain and do all the other Star Warsy things in old Innoventions!! I'm so excited.

My boyfriend has also been stalking all the talk show ticket releases and we're going to try to get tickets to all the shows in that time period we'll be there and we're just hoping we'll strike gold with some of them and get the new SW cast.

This is such good news since our next trip is Nov 25-Dec 4. Any thoughts on FP+ availability for the meets? Coincidentally today is my 60 day mark.

I doubt there will be fp for the characters

So what are the chances that the Season of the Force will replace Frozen Summer Fun next summer? I know the Frozen pinata still has a good bit of candy left inside of it, but is it even remotely possible?

HAving Season of the Force and then if they also have SWW I'm sure we'll see Frozen Summer Fun again. It still brings a lot of money and there are plenty of parents that still think SW is for boys while Frozen is for girls (I can not stand this way of thinking BTW)

I'm officially giving up on SWW for 2016. I decided that even if it's happening, I am not taking my son out of school for it. *sigh*

But, I did just book a couple of days in November to see the Osborne lights and go to the Christmas party, plus a trip to the legoland hotel (which was supposed to be a few weeks ago but I had to cancel because I had pneumonia).

And we decided to go during our random spring break (but after spring break season) in April so I will keep my fingers crossed for SW stuff happening then. Though it is really difficult to plan for the week before May 4th!!

It's a tough decision but with the uncertainty of it all I don't blame you, plus I am sure you will see SW stuff in April

that is so cool, please report back on your thoughts on cyber space mountain

just checked and they finally updated the hours of the week starting Oct 4th. It looks like, in fact, JTA will have it's final shows that day. So starting Monday Oct. 5th no more JTA

Well...I am bummed because I don't think I can swing a DL trip like I hoped. I somehow managed to forget the ER bill I had coming. Got it yesterday. Between that and planning a ten year anniversary trip, I'm not sure DH would be too thrilled with me pulling ODS out of school for a random DL trip. On the other hand, he is about to embark on week four of five consecutive weeks of travel, so I've been running on empty carting the older one around with a (now grumpy) baby in tow. He told me I could stay in a hotel and get some good sleep...why shouldn't that hotel be at DL? Haha! I really wish they would announce how long SotF will run. I'd like to know if my original idea for a Feb trip would work.

wouldn't they leave Launch Bay, the new ST sequence forever (or until SWLand is built?) Cyber Space Mountain I can see staying for a while too.

OT: Don't know if anyone is coming to Food and Wine but we went yesterday (suuuuuper packed) and took some pics of the Chase Lounge. Here's our album. We only tried the chocolate truffle thing in Next Eats, it was just too crowded, we usually go early, around 10:30am to start our food journey and it's much more manageable.

Also OT - did you get a fastpass for the concert? I am wondering how that works.

Thanks for posting the pics. I have been looking into it more lately. My birthday runs during F&W, so I am thinking that I would like to spend my 45th birthday there year after next. Hopefully, my mom would be able to stay with DS, since it's during school and we could have an adult only trip. We really enjoyed the food booths at F&G, so I can just imagine how great F&W is. Looks like fun.

As you are looking at the theater, the standby line is to the far right (as always) the fps line is in the middle and the packages and Chase Lounge tickets to the left.
We were let in about 20 minutes before the show, they had the entire front right side for fp, so under the roof, the packages and chase were on the left and then the entire back was open for standby.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'd imagine it (Hyper Space Mtn) at least runs through spring break. I thought bumping the trip up would be nice, so that ODS could see Fantasmic and ride the RR. I am going to sit on it and see if I get a good airfare alert over the next few weeks.

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 look pretty legit as I found it here. http://events.mydisneyresorts.com/apCal.html

 

[yulilin3]

I like this timeline, it gives a chance for SWW to happen on the regular dates. I'm updating the first post

 

[Jfsag123]

I'm glad y'all were able to confirm! Hooray for some solid information!

I am a little surprised that they would end it before Easter, which is a big time for Spring Break up north. Luckily, it would occur during our Spring Break, if I have to revert to that backup plan. I am still holding out hope for SWW during May and early June though.

Guess I will get to see both...between my SW DL trip and Princess DW trip. DS isn't coming to princess though so glad he gets to see the DL version.

How will it work for any special dining events during Season of the Force? Since I haven't read anything about them I'm assuming it obviously isn't too late to get in to any. What I'm sort of confused about is, that normally restaurants book up like 6 months in advance, and now its pretty much less than that. So since it's less than that what are my chances to get into any special dining events for Season of the Force? Or would no reservations be given out for restaurants that will be doing that? Hope I've made sense.

You made sense, no worries.
This is a brand new special event and even with SWW the dining reservations never opened at the 6 months mark.
As of now there has been 0 talk about special dining tied to Season of the Force the only thing they have mentioned is themed food.
I would recommend keeping an eye out on this thread and the Disney Parks Blog.
Once special dining is announced it typically sells out very fast
For SWW in the past 2 years there was a character breakfast and dinner but there are strong RUMORS that that might not happen again.
Please feel free to ask any questions about these events

I haven't encountered any "holds" on any restaurants for those dates yet, so unlikely they will be having any special event dining tied to this. Unless it's something like Rebel Hangar, where they convert a QS location.
