Is this just for the summer?

And now we have a new set of acronyms to learn...why can't these names be shorter
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away= SWaGFFA
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular= SWaGS

Anyone think the current fireworks will continue until the new ones? We will be there mid-May and were really looking forward to SW fireworks

Now that looks fun. I'm not a big Fantasmic fan, this would be ideal for me, too bad I'm not going until 2017!!!

I'm very excited about all of this!

Was at HS on Sunday. I was OK with the SW presence in the parks though we also spent a lot of time doing the things we would be doing for the last time - like LMA and hanging out on the streets of America (which were EMPTY on a super busy day so not surprising they're going).

My son wouldn't watch the movie at launch bay and there was quite a line so we skipped it (crowd level 9 day)!! Chewie line was posted 35 minutes but took 20 tops. Chase line was hard to find (nowhere near other meet and greets) but the CMs there quite obviously loved their jobs and made the wait fun (they had us waiting outside of the hall which was much cooler). Kylo Ren is super intimidating which I just think is funny. I am well aware it's a dude in a costume but somehow he is still scary! And he wasn't even scary in the movie!!

The dessert party was fine. We mostly ate cheese and veggies though the bread putting stuff was super yummy. My son was tired and fell asleep on my lap (he's almost 8 so not a tiny guy) while waiting for fireworks but woke up when they started. I admit I'm not a fireworks person but the SW fireworks are AMAZING!!!

Both my son and I sat in the ground, our mouths open in awe!

People did seem to be really annoying with the patrolling storm troopers, I thought. But they do a good job staying in character. Both my son and I got nods of approval from them (he in his force awakens shirt and me in my Vader dress).

Now I'm super excited to see Phasma when we're back in late April/early May.

I merged both threads talking about the Star Wars new DHS offerings.

No clue

No clue at this point. We know that SYmphony in the Stars is scheduled until the end of April at this point. They have been extending it and with May 4th coming I would guess they would extend it until the new fireworks show. But there's also a matter of construction and since they are closing all of Streets of America it leaves no room for the current positioning of fireworks launch trucks, so who knows

Attention everyone I changed the title again to reflect this thread. In the hopes that when Disney announces new SW stuff everyone comes here. A certain moderator has been in touch with higher members of the DIS and asked to keep this thread open.

Clues from the artist renderings: we can see that the actual fireworks won't be centered with GMR, seems to indicate they will already be using the new launch area outside the park. The projection on the left (Vader side) not sure about which building that is. Have to go to DHS and look closer.
Sadly my favorite spot (Echo Lake) won't be good for this show, you need to be somewhere on Hollywood Blvd or to the front of Min and Bills to enjoy this

I just made my FP+ for April 4! LMA is closed that day?

Do you think we see this as early as May the 4th? It would be awesome to see this on the unofficial Star Wars nerd day.

April 2nd is last day for all of Streets of America

That would be awesome!! It does say "to kickoff the Summer" but there's no clue how early it would be. Next time I go to DHS I'll pay close attention to the roofs to see if I can see projectors installed

Ah ok. I had the 19th stuck in my head for some reason.

This made my day! Some more stuff to soften the blow from the death of SWW.

Now, if they would just bring back the Galactic breakfast....

This one really bums me too. It would have been our first SWW, and DS and I were really looking forward to the breakfast At least I have a trip coming up soon in March, and I will probably get to see the new stuff in July.

That would be awesome! It's our day at DHS, so I hope to at least see some fireworks- whether the current ones or the new one.

In the promotional art, what's the building on the left of the chinese theater?

@yulilin3 is trying to figure it out. If she's not sure, then I don't know who is

I wonder if the planned construction walls go out that far?! (Although that would mean shutting down TSMM and I can't see them doing THAT)

The Hyperion Theater?
