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

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” continued to careen toward $1 billion at a record pace Wednesday, after adding another $37.3 million domestically and $41.3 million from overseas on Tuesday to lift its worldwide box-office total to $689 million after five days.
 
the "security cm" are character handlers, I've seen the same people during SWW and just regular character meet and greets


not at all :) my favorite theater is the on at The Loop, the most comfortable chairs ever. The seats at Universal IMAX were just too straight for me, very hard to recline

Thanks for the info. I've been to only Disney Springs and West Oaks (very inexpensive). It is nice to learn about other theaters in the area. Thanks again!

If it matches Avatar's take (2.7 billion I think) they'll have practically recouped the purchase cost of Lucasfilm with just one movie...

I think it will do better than Avatar, but I'm totally biased! I've never in my life seen new run movies more than twice at most. Tonight will be my 4th time.

I've seen forecasts suggesting that between ticket sales and merchandise for Force Awakens alone they'd more than make back the $$ paid for Lucasfilm.

I wonder if Lucas is kicking himself right now... Either for not having the foresight to run the movies himself or asking too little! :D

Maybe. He does sound bitter these days. ;)

The franchise would not have been worth this much in his hands. Sad truth.
 
Is Avatars $2.7 billion just from it's run at the cinema or are we talking cinema run, merchandise and home release (DVD/Blu-Ray)

It seems Force Awakens is breaking records every day so far which is nothing short of incredible already

Semi-related note - - I want digital copies of the SW movies for my ipad. But, I have seen it mentioned in a few places that Disney may release a new special edition pack with all of them AND the digital copies when VII comes out on blu-ray. Anyone have any thoughts/guesses on this? (Just trying to avoid buying things a dozen times)

This is Disney, you will buy Star Wars in all forms dozens of times. waves hand
 
I think of Avatar as Dances with Wolves with aliens. I think the additions to AK will be lovely. But I thought the movie was incredibly silly. My 12-year-old daughter's impression of James Cameron as a director hit new lows when she saw it (she thought the best part of Titanic was when the ship went down). I'm a huge fan of the original Terminator and T2. Aliens ranks high on my list of favorite movies ever. But I've also seen the Abyss. I don't have a lot of confidence in the sequels to Avatar.

And I want to add my thanks for this thread. Threads like this one and the YC/BC thread over in the resorts section of the forum are what makes the Dis for me. Some parts of this board just flat-out scare me. I have four kids. The oldest two are tween girls. I need less drama in my life, not more.
 
Same here. I just don't see the point of paying the extra money at low crowd time of year so I cancelled ours too. If I hear feedback that it's totally amazing maybe I'll give it a try.

Also, I agree that this thread is awesome. It's the main one I check on dis. There's too many preachy people on these boards. After having one of my comments deleted on another thread because someone thought it wasn't "super positive" I'm kinda picky with it. Disney people are great. Disney + Star Wars people are the BEST.
:disrocks:

Yea, I canceled for the 5 of us March 12th. 300.00 for cupcakes wasn't settling well...I still have it reserved for my son and I Jan 14th, but may cancel it too. Waiting for reviews.

Question for anyone with experience, if we decided to do Fantasmic and cancel the dessert party, how hard would it be to find a spot for the fireworks afterwards do you think? Would we be able to make it over to yulilin's spot? :)

Side note, went and picked up our movie tickets today for tomorrow 10 am showing. :darth: Saw my neighbors who went to the 3D showing at 9:30 and they said they just showed up 15 minutes early. I asked the ticket guy, he said about 30 minutes early. We are doing 2D, so hopefully we'll be okay with 30 minutes. SO excited!! Got my Chewie glamour shot shirt ready to wear. :chewy:

And yes, This thread is now my "go to". It can get crazy "out there". :)

For Jan. 14th F! is at 7pm, if you sit on the right hand side of the theater (not necessarily all the way to the right but more right than left) and leave as soon as it's done you could make it to Echo Lake, they have been opening the big gates by the restrooms and stroller rental, so when you leave F! theater stay on the left side of the exit and it'll dump out at the entrance of the park, from there you could walk down Hollywood Blvd or cut through Mickey's of Hollywood store to get to Echo Lake

We're going again on Christmas and taking my dad View attachment 141119 - he'll be incognito for the showing - but matter where he goes kids walk right up to him....
Love!!!!! :santa:
 
Hey guys,
I managed to watch SW: TFA for the 4th time and took my DS 4yrs with me..
He managed to sit through the whole movie (excluding 2 toilet breaks and a trip to the foyer for a drink) without wincing, in fact I brought headphones along with me and he even quoted as saying 'Its ok dad, Im not scared of the scary bits anymore'
And 'Yes', I did well up holding his hand through the opening theme tune/scroll..

Its amazing how children can transport you directly back to your own youth through the purity of their eyes/heart..

Wishing you all a great festive holiday season, Merry Xmas and May the Force be with you x
