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

and also there's a new BB8 mickey ears hat that I should've taken a pic but I forgot

Consider this me officially begging for a photo I really wish they would make some headband versions though (I am assuming this is a hat version like R2). I know they want them to be accessible for boys or girls - but I hate hats. And with all of the million Minnie ear designs they already sell, you'd think that wouldn't be too far of a stretch.

Thank you!! How long have the waits been for the chase line and where do you enter the chase line at? Also how many people per chase card can enter?

I was with a friend yesterday and the regular lines for both Chewie and Kylo were 50 minutes (they looked more like 30 minutes when I saw it) anyways, we went to the Disney card meet and there was only one group in front of us, so 5 minutes, maybe. We went at 3pm.
The Disney card meet is inside Launch Bay as well right after the game room and Cantina area. There's a sign at the entrance to that with a CM and a clipboard.
You can bring up to 6 people with you

I'm going to MK in a bit and I'll look for the ears and take a pic. I don't like ears hat because I'd rather have a hat that protected me against the sun on my face but these ears are really cute
PS Stephanie already said she's taking her money to buy them if she loves them

Was the BB8 earhat only at MK? Do you know if they still have R2D2 earhats at Disney Springs (World of Disney or the Star Wars store, I guess) or at Tataouine Traders/Watto's Grotto? Thanks

I saw the ears at DHS but also at MK, so I'm thinking they are everywhere> I've seen the R2 at Disney's SPrings and DHS, haven't looked for them at MK, I'll check

I have a feeling there will sometime in the future be a hard ticket Star Wars event offered at the Studios. anyone else see this as a possibility.

Am I the only one who thinks this Episode 8 casting news does NOT sound promising...?? (See Jimmy Smitts and Sam Jackson)

I'm dead, those are so cool. I don't know if I can wait until October for our next park trip to buy them

The little antennae & photoreceptors... I only have to wait until May, but it's going to be hard.

Love those! My 4.5 yr old and I are obsessed with BB-8

The bb8 ears are sold out at mk. I'm going to dhs on Thursday and will look for them.

I am definitely getting those for DS next month He loves the droids. I am going to get an R2D2 one for myself. I was worried with the Disneyfied SW characters going away, ie Jedi Mickey, that they may do away with the earhats too. I am so glad they haven't.

I guess it shouldn't be a bad thing to cast known actors - you just have to think Alec Guinness instead of Smits and Jackson. But, after the prequels it certainly isn't difficult to get uneasy.

Sounds like they are popular. Hopefully, they restock. They should have time before our trip. Fingers crossed.

Yup. I wouldn't personally put Guinness in the same category as Dern and Del Toro, though... :-/

And I wouldn't worry as much if Abrams was directing VIII, given what he did with VII. Fingers crossed, I guess...

Thanks, everyone, for your tips about the Dessert Party. On a whim, I bought 4 tickets for 2/22. I saw mention of a Dance Party, but can't find any details about it. Can someone please let me know when and where this takes place? Will we be able to attend if we are at the Dessert Party? I'm guessing it's not part of the Dessert Party... TIA!!!

I'm glad I'll be able to see the fireworks in April. Any word on whether Star Tours will continue to exclusively show the new Force Awakens scene?

 

[North of Mouse]

Just went to DHS and saw the Star Wars fireworks. Stood right next to the Dessert Party area, and definitely didn't see any advantages to buying an expensive ticket for it, with a few desserts and drinks thrown in. Actually, we were out in the open better than they were - some trees in the roped off area that could block some of the fireworks. They still had to stand just like us. To each their own!

 

[yulilin3]

At DHS now and the ears are sold out, should be getting more in the next couple of weeks
