probably just a glitch but for the last hour I've been trying to check Hollywood and Vine for Dinner times starting January 4th since one of our posters noticed that Dinner was not an option the other day....and the website is not letting me go into the restaurant information at all. I can go into all the other ones minus H&V.
I called disney dining and they confirmed that no dinner is available but she didn't have any additional information as to why.
Like I said it could just be a glitch or they might be adding stuff to it
I'll keep checking
EDIT AT 11:21 it came back up with no apparent changes

According to most news stations in CA, the July 2017 date is when the Railroad, Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and Fantasmic reappear after the renovations to clear the area for SW Land.

This is from MiceChat's article:
"All this work will be attempted in record time. The current timeline that WDI is working with has both the Disneyland Railroad and the Rivers of America closed for approximately 15 months, from January 10th 2016 until April 2017. Once the Rivers of America reopens in spring ’17, Disneyland’s entertainment team will hustle to restage and remount a freshened Fantasmic! show, but they will need several months for technical tests and then rehearsals. Fantasmic! is now scheduled to go dark on January 10th 2016 and reopen by July, 2017. That timetable is very aggressive for both the attractions and Fantasmic!, and may need to be extended, but it’s the current strategy both WDI and TDA are working with."

Now THAT would make a lot more sense!! I wonder how much later they'd expect the whole shebang to be done...

Please... who am I kidding?! They won't even tell us IF SWW are happening!! LOL!

So after reading your post I was curious and was playing around with the reservation system. There were no dinner times available for Hollywood & Vine during our March dates, so I checked some other random dates and there were none. Eventually I realized that if you go into the restaurant's page and try to book a reservation from there dinner is not offered as an option after January 3rd. It is January 2nd and I even found availability, but after the 3rd it only shows breakfast and lunch, and no times after 2:30. It is like this right up until March 28 (the current 180 day date) Could this mean something? Or just more glitchiness?

this was brought up about a week ago by another poster, no Dinner available starting January 4th, it is strange since their dinner is very popular. We will have to wait and see, along with everything else we are waiting and seeing

Well clearly I'm not checking in with the thread enough! LOL DH is super excited that we are going to already be there during the SoTF, it would be even better if I could surprise him with a dinner!

So, if there is some kind of dining event at a restaurant for SoTF I probably wouldn't be able to get reservations for that particular restaurant at this point would I? At the moment I managed to get Sci Fi for dinner on Sunday, and took Brown Derby with a fantasmic package for Saturday night. I couldn't get into Sci Fi for breakfast for any of the days I was there. (At Disney Feb 25 for 4 nights) Hope I've picked a good weekend (as far as SoTF goes)

Looks like someone's been sending a lot of these today!!!! Hopefully the sheer amount of emails, phone calls, faxes, texts, tweets, letters, telegrams, smoke signals... whatever they're getting will erase any doubts corporate is having about retiring SWW.

I don't understand why you say you wouldn't be able to get reservations...nothing has been announced so we are all at the same point. As soon as it is announced (or if) then you can try and book

So now I've got DH super psyched about the possibility of a SW meal. Guess I'll be spending a lot more time hanging out in this thread and stalking the WDW dining site for the foreseeable future! Based on the speed at which they're making announcements it could be months! LOL

So while on the subject of dining, what are the chances of Sci-Fi using Star Wars clips? I know there were previous posts about no characters, but what about film clips?

It would be pretty awesome if Vader and Boba Fett moved to H&V! Far fetched dream most likely, but it would be great!

There won't be characters if they have the meals? I know they've said no Disney characters in SW costumes, but what about the actual SW characters like they had at the Sci-Fi breakfast? At this point no one really has any details about possible meals because nothing has been announced, or did I miss something?

I don't know if they would go half way at the Sci Fi, SW clips but no characters. But anything can happen at this point

there's an inside source that was told that no SWW breakfast would happen at Sci Fi, again, a rumor at this point

Just checked the AP calendar which is where the dates for SotF are posted and the starting date changed from January 8th to January 5th.
