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

[tarak]

On another note, my Fastpass+ comes available on Dec 17th, pretty much when I come out of watching a second viewing of EP VII ST: TFA..

Currently my son is 100cm with shoes on (he is 4 1/2 yrs old so a dinky like his old man), so over next 2 months I'm currently over-feeding him to put him over the 102cm to ride Star Tours..
Any tips for growth in little ones ?

I wish I could help. I'm hoping my toddler, who will be nearly four, is finally tall enough to go on the mine train ride. She was just over 36" in August. I'm hoping the passage of five months and the hot pink Doc Martens she loves to wear will put her over the edge, but I'm not too optimistic.

Grrr. Disney site isn't working for me and I have to spend the whole day working the "holiday boutique" at my son's school!! Oh well, I'll just hope it doesn't sell out that quickly. I'm hoping for 2/14 so maybe most won't think it's a romantic Valentines thing to do!

Someone mentioned the SW Lego Advent Calendar - Does anyone know what todays build is? We can't figure it out?!?! (It looks like a little black and grey tank with a grabber arm on it). We're stumped.

It almost looked like a scout droid with its lower appendages removed. Or a roomba.

my daughter is intolerant to many things, gluten, milk, eggs. So when ordering food at Disney I usually get something for her from the allergy menu but let them know that she's not full on allergic, just intolerant. One time they were bringing me her food on a separate tray (green color) and I put my regular food on the tray and the CM did a very realistic impression of Vader's "Nooooo" I then explained she was just intolerant and we had a good laugh
Happy to have you on board, welcome to our little SW family

We ate at Sanaa once and he asked if XYZ had peanuts in it. The waiter looked like he wanted to faint, grabbed my son's glass of OJ, and headed to the kitchen to get the chef.

I've been out of the loop - are fireworks now confirmed as EVERY day as opposed to weekends?

I edited the title to reflect what is now being offered. At this point I don't expect for WDW to use the name Season of the Force unless there's some awesome plan to have it during what would've been SWW

Oh my, can you imagine the HOWLING that would occur from the SWW-faithful if they suddenly changed course and announced a special event from mid-May through mid-June? First it's on, then it's off, now it's on again? Gosh, I hope not. I hope they just continue the current plan through the rest of 2016 or something along those lines.

It's odd they did all these big announcements of SotF and then quietly pulled the plug on it...

I'm done trying to make sense on any decisions they make anymore...

Grr! I love my mom but she just texted me that she asked my dad to join us on our last day at WDW as her Christmas gift (they own a condo in Ft Lauderdale). Our last day is our DHS day with the SW dessert party!!! Just to be safe I booked another table for 2. At least she didn't wait until February to tell me!

Are we thinking the odds of this being extended past the March end dates are slim to none?

I'm going to go ahead and say 50/50
We don't know what they are thinking at the moment or why the whole yes SWW no SWW, yes SotF no SotF. So they might be taking it as it goes along...the fireworks are not even listed on the regular schedule yet and it's less than a month away

 

[wendyt_ca]

I really hope they extend it...the star wars fireworks were how I convinced DH to tag it onto our Hawaii trip in April...(the flights allowed us to add a stop and pick the dates at no extra cost)...

I am telling you right now: I. WILL. LOSE. IT.

That's if they do something mid-May to mid-Jun, but NOTHING Mar 19 - mid-May. We moved our trip to coincide with the Dark Side half in Apr. If there's something in May, let me just say that it had BETTER be there in Apr, too.

Thank you.

And here I sit waiting to see what they do in May. <Still bummed>

Hey- for those who have volunteered for one of the runDisney events, what are the shifts and the jobs? I've never been able to before, but definitely interested....

 

[Skywise]

I can't see them doing SWW - At least not this year. My hunch from the times is that that's when construction kicks into high gear.

There are a lot of different positions and times
You can work at the expo giving out the packets, those are during the day
On r race days you can help with runner directions, water and powerade, giving medals, bag check...those can be from 4am all the way until 1pm. You usually work 6 hour shifts

The disney visa meet is open. From 11 to 4, same background as the regular meet line

WOW! What a day at HS today!!! We met Chewey and Darth (both under 5 minute wait!!) And my kids both made Jedi Training and faught against Darth Vader!!!! On top of that, Storm Troopers were walking around the entire area in front of Launch Bay talking to the kids!! It was such an amazing day and I'm so happy we changed our plans to go to HS a second time to take part in all the Star Wars fun!!!!!

For those looking to do Jedi Training, we were there a half hour past park opening and the earliest time available was 11:40, so there's plenty of room even if you're not there exactly at rope drop. They said there are now two stages, and each class has 15 children. Definitely worth the time!

Thank you to all those that have posted and helped us out! Enjoy!!!!!

If I didn't live alone and know that I can't eat this much in sweets before it goes bad...
