Nothing really to add to this thread other than finding out my natural hair color is "wookie" Oh, and Darth scared the poop outta me. That is all.

Can anyone tell me how long the fireworks last?
I'm trying to see if we can swing the SW fireworks & F! in the same evening.
I'm looking at an evening in Feb. when there are two F!, one at 7 and one at 8:30.
But I'm hoping they move that second F! back to 9, like the ones in January.

The Disney Store has the elite series, I have Rey, she comes with BB8. It's very well done and has a stand base.
In the parks I have seen Rey in the Black Series but it's the first to sell out each time they have her in stock

also in the park they have the complete play set

I didn't know Rey had a giant screw in the back of her neck! It was hard to see that in the movie.

Slight OT, but did you guys see this?? Did Lucas fall and hit his head??

Is he that bitter that Disney is clearly doing far better with the franchise than he was doing? $4B wasn't enough to soothe that??

Wow, sour grapes, table for one.

Also this: "And I don’t have the control to do that anymore, and all I would do is muck everything up,” he said.

Um, I would go so far to say that Lucas mucked it up when he had complete control. Complete, unchecked, unchallenged control was the issue with the prequels.

And "white slavers?" George, George, George...

The fireworks are about 10 minutes. You'll have time to make the second F!

For anyone interested, the Kylo Ren LE MB ifs $29.95 and they have them behind the counter at Watto's . Didn't ask in any other stores

Yes and yes. Everyone needs an editor and the second trilogy is what happens when there is no one to say no. A Song of Ice and Fire (books upon which Game of Thrones is based) is going the same way. I've lost count of the times I've read the first book. Loved the second and third. The fifth I could barely finish.

Hope everyone has a good New Year's Eve and an early Happy New Year to everyone! My friend and I are going to be brave and hit DHS tomorrow. I've always wanted to ring in NYE with Mulch and was planning to do that this year, but of course they sadly are no more. I figure it'll be a crazy day but it'll be fun. Lots of shows and patience.

Can you see the fireworks well from sunset Blvd? I see that Hollywood Blvd and echo lake are the prime areas, just curious from other views. If we went to the 7 fantasmic could we see the fireworks at 8 well from over that area (whether it towards Hollywood Blvd or over by TOT or RNR). I know it's not far but figure by the time we leave F! The main areas will be packed.

I bought the collection through Amazon. I access it via the "Amazon Video" app on my iPads, as well as via Amazon Prime through our TV. I've also downloaded them from the Amazon Video app to my iPad, so that the kids can view them while traveling without an internet connection. Works like a charm. Does that answer it?

ETA: I think this should get you to the Amazon Video app on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-video/id545519333?mt=8

When you purchase the movie, it becomes available on the Amazon Video app. Then, you can link that app to your Disney Movies app.

There are directions in the Disney Movies Anywhere app as to how to connect other video sites such as Amazon and iTunes, etc.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited about my purchase now

Yullin I have a quick question, perhaps you can help me as always. My last night at Disney, I am doing the Symphony in the sky. It starts at 7:45 and you said it goes for about 10 minutes, so give or take it should be over by 8. With that said, IYHO, do you think I would have enough time to get over to Epcot to watch Illuminations to make it a spetcular ending to my trip. Just though I pick your brain. Thanks.

Not very well. The buildings block the view.

Oh, you'll love it the meet and greet! We went a couple of weekends before Christmas and only waited in line about 20 minutes, if that!

They will exit F! via the backstage area that ends up by the stroller rental and restrooms next to the entrance of the park, from there you can easily walk to Echo Lake (if Hollywood Blvd is too crowded). You'll have time.
They don't pump the music into Sunset so you'll miss an important element to the fireworks.

There are no dates announced so far when the fireworks start at 7:45pm. Here are the dates and times so far
January 5 – March 6- fireworks are at 8pm.

March 7 – March 12- fireworks are at 8:30pm

March 13 – March 19- fireworks are at 9:30pm
In any case if you watch the fireworks closer to the entrance of the park you could easily walk (about 20 minutes) or take the boat (that could take longer) and make Illuminations at 9 pm

had a great day yesterday at DHS. Went with my daughter and 7 of her friends that received tickets to the parks for singing at the Candlelight Processional.
We did Launch Bay around 9:30 pm and Chewie's line was 10 minutes (it said 20 minutes) and Vader was about 25 (it said 30) The girls loved both meets, here are some pics. During the Vader meet the girls said "Hi Ani" and proceeded to sing "Ani are you ok, are you ok Ani" he pretty much started them down, arms folded, in an intimidating way that they actually backed away a little
They had a touching moment with Chewie (they all already saw the movie)
