Wow, I was JUST pricing a trip for Jan 4-9!

driving by to report I spoke to 2nd person @ DVC member services today. this time was told they haven't received any information regarding Star Wars. Seems odd with the recent announcement.

if anybody can ferret out the truth it's this group lol

Oh, wow! Yes, I see that now. That works out pretty good with my plans.

Ok so what does the SOTF mean for Jan 3-March 20? So what is the thinking on this?

Also, since SWW , at least the last 5 or so yrs always starts the weekend before memorial day weekend, do most people think it will start the 13th-2 weekends ahead of memorial day? That would mean 3 weekends in May and 2 in June. I s that so there is no conflict with the "Frozen " summer events?

The announcement during D23 was that Season of the Force would include specialty food and weekend only SW fireworks. That's all that has been announced
If there will be SWW it should start May 13th through June 12th

What do you think is the reason for starting an extra weekend early? We are trying to make sure we are there, and would prefer the dates startimg with 13th but would hate to have to change all the plans if they go to the usual 1 week before memorial day weekend.

not really extra weekend early, it's just the way the months lined up next year, historically it fits. They tried years where they would go deeper into June and it didn't work, way to hot and crowded. Plus if they do Frozen Summer Fun SWW needs to be done by June 12th. Here's a great site, it hasn't been properly updated but has all the dates

Well that's starting to line up even more with the blocked out reservations we've been seeing on the dining site.

I can't believe that if HS is going to roll out this extra SW stuff (SoTF) that they wouldn't ride the cash cow for all they can get, like they have with Frozen. The movie is bound to be huge, there are lots of closures at the studios, it's hard to believe they wouldn't tie in the dining (with both restaurants) and the packages to not only draw people into the park, but to capitalize on the extra cash grab opportunity.

It would be fun to see you and your family again

We cant wait! I guess we will just go with the advise of our expert disers and keep our fingers crossed! I am hoping to try and get 2 weekends if I can convince DH to let us stay extra while he goes back to work...

I already ordered for DS19 a full size cardboard stand up trooper for him for Christmas and looking for the millennium falc mini heli thing...for the other DS17. We will be at WDW in Dec leaving on the 18th and hope to see some Star Wars stuff at DHS and maybe catch the movie at AMC dine in. And of course in IMAX when we come home again.

Just saw this and not sure if it helps anyone or not. I think it just adds to the confusion.

Launch Bay WILL open in December according to this blog.

Yes Launch Bay is scheduled to open in December probably before the 18th. There's a big banner in front of the entrance of the old Animation bldg that says it's opening in December. Cast of Jedi Tarining was also told that they would open in December.

Would this be the old drawing building?? Please tell me no!! We loved that! (I know it's closed for now but I thought it was reopening.)

yes it is. Look at the picture above. It's not reopening as the Animation Bldg anytime soon, not sure if it'll come back at all, sorry. If you read my blog I do a construction update every Monday and you can see pictures. Link at the bottom
