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

Completely agree but the key word is "maintaining" and that is not so easy to do come miles 8-13 if you haven't prepared for the race or if you plan to walk the entire race. The person I responded to said "I am not allowed to run due to old ankle fracture....can you walk a race?" and many of the posters who walk actually do a combo of walk/run in the race with these pace requirements. Both my kids were runners and DS is a running coach so I do follow the sport closely.

$200 race fee plus travel expenses are not cheap so I would be upset for the walker bus to pull up and ask me to get on because I was not able to maintain the pace for the full 13 miles since that is all that is open still. If I can only walk, I need to be sure I can walk that fast or faster (if you plan stops for photos etc) for a full 13+ miles or wait for another runDisney where I can start with a 10k.
agreed, that's why you have to be sure to train and maintain the pace. Many, many people just walk it and finish, not only the half but the full marathon and even Dopey . there's a whole thread on the WISH forum.
 


I saw them tweet that this morning and I'm stoked! All this talk about a soft opening for Launch Bay and the Star Tours sequence on 11/27 and I was little bummed because we will be there on 11/27, but it will be our last day and I'm not deviating from my Epcot plan (not even to sneak down there for a little while). So, considering we'll be at DHS earlier that week 2 different times, I'm excited! That part was definitely more important to me than the Launch Bay. :cool1:
 
He's going to be just turned 7 at that point and definitely still under 50". He still thinks everything at MK is real (as far as he's let on, lol) so I'm worried Universal might be a little frightening in parts. I'm a big planner too and got a little overwhelmed looking at the idea of planning both and then coming home and picking up our first puppy right after the trip- might be too much planning even for me

We are taking my son, who just turned 8, to HP celebration weekend this coming Jan. (lucky impulse decision when the packages went on sale and I was nervous about no SWW this year). I then panicked about whether he would be able to do much, because he has a growth hormone issue that means he is closer in size to a 6 year old, and is also somewhat easily frightened. After much online reading and discussions with friends, I feel comfortable that while he cannot ride any of the big roller coasters and one HP ride because of his height, we will have plenty to fill our two and a half days - and even decided to bring along my 3 year old even though I always believed there was not enough for the littles to do, I now think there is plenty for her since she and grandma only do about half days in the parks anyway.

I do have a question for those Universal vets - we are staying at the Hard Rock, but want to come to HS for either Sat or Sun night to see the Season of the Force FWs. Suggestions on the best transportation options between parks?

I have no clue if Universal provides any type of shuttle to Disney, I guess a cab or uber?

where is the Launch Bay located? I couldn't find this on the first page so sorry if I missed it.
 
Has anyone heard anything about Star Wars fireworks at DHS? And if so, when they will start?

The fireworks are linked to the Seasons of the Force which hasn't been officially announced. They accidentally leaked the dates as January 5th thru March 27th. I guess when Disney saw their mistake they took the dates down, so we have to wait and see. The fireworks will occur only on the weekends.
 
Just got an email from Chase saying that the Disney Rewards Visa Vader M&G would be in Launch Bay at Disneyland. I don't know if WDW would be the same location or not. It also only runs from 4-8pm.
just checked the perks page and they updated it
