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

Not until the 9th- I know the weather can change but it has showed potential rain on that day for awhile. I won't cancel just wondering if it will feel like we are missing something.

don't get too worried about forecasts that are more than a couple of days away. I would look at the weather again the day before and then you can make a decision

Off-topic for me too...

When did you start reading the HP books to your sons? My DD is 6.5yo (first grade) and I'm wondering when to start. I never saw the movies but LOVED the books.

Back on SW topic...

DH wants to bring our DD6 see the new SW movie this weekend. I don't like SW so I'm not going. Do you think it's too violent for a 6.5 yo girl? She understands the difference between reality and a movie but it's still PG13...

We started the Harry Ootter books when our oldest brought one home from the school library. He was around 7.5 I believe. We read them aloud as a family and then he read the later ones by himself when he was ready. And we had a strict no movie till we've read the books though.

We took our 5 yo boy who loves it, although we took 3 bathroom breaks which was a little annoying. He didn't seem overly bothered by the pets that were violent. But my boys all seem to be fans of the dark side. I do have a friend who took her kids and was really bothered by the violence. It's really a personal decision.

Dessert Party in the rain- so it appears out dessert party day may be a little wet. Can anyone tell me a review on the indoor party. Was it a let down or was it still sort of what you expected. I think it is calling for just rain so we will probably get to go back outside for fireworks but I was wondering if having one part inside kind of dims the experience.

Thanks

We were inside for our dessert party for Feel the Force last June. I don't think we missed out on anything by being inside to eat and drink. We were able to take drinks and whatever else to go to go out to watch the fireworks as well.

I am bummed that I probably won't get to experience DJ Lobot. I am looking forward to Avatarland. I think it's going to visually be cool. Don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of Cameron, except for his older stuff, like the original Terminator. In fact, we just watched Avatar for the first time last week I figured we should probably see it before we see it at Disney. I think it will help with crowds, especially with crowds in future Star Wars land.

From James Cameron I only liked Terminator, Aliens, Abyss, T2 and True Lies. I think he should make his next Avatar movie only using the budget of his first film Piranha 2: The Spawning, somewhere close to $200,000.

Fortunately DJ Elliot can still be experienced at the parks and other events: http://djelliot.com/

I usually pull up his mixes on my phone from Soundcloud when I am alone in the parks: https://soundcloud.com/disneydj
Mostly the Star Wars mixes from SWW2014. So much fun while riding Space Mountain.

I call it Not So Hyper Space Mountain.

Darth Vader is officially out of the entertainment schedule starting Sunday on the HUB. Let's see when they update the WDW site and app
EDIT TO ADD: they have updated the WDW site, if you look up by date in the "show in my plans" section site https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/e...racter-meet-darth-vader-star-wars-launch-bay/

Rumors that Club Disney is closing. Feeds the SW show rumor.

the schedule just changed and it's true the last day is this Saturday

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

glad we got to see Vader when we did!!

Probably silly side question - do we have any idea how long the Tie Fighter Popcorn buckets will be around? DH has a friend that wants one - we'll be back down in September.... I would hope they'd still be there with SW land coming but if there are rumors either way let me know! Thanks

Kylo is fine but he's not Vader. Both would be better.

 

[msmama]

Does Kylo Ren talk? Or do we not know yet?

My son said he doesn't want to meet him, but...I said too bad (sign me up for mother of the year, lol).

Yeah. My kid is going to freak the heck out. Oh well. Guess we'll do him before Chewie and maybe Chewie will lighten things up a bit!!

I'm planning to meet him on Sunday, I'm freaked out. Def. taking my Vader shirt and Stormtrooper hat, I don't want him to get angry with me

Does anyone know when the fireworks schedule will be out for the end of Feb? I see that HS closes at 7 on Feb. 29 and I am wondering if they likely will extend or we should look at going a different day? Thanks!

This is hilarious. We were wondering what would happen if our teens said "I'm 90% sure Matt is Kylo Ren" (or something similar) when meeting him. But we're not certain that Disney CMs are SNL-trained.
