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

[elmoandzoey]

if you want to kill two birds with the same stone this is what I would do
Be at the arch or close to it for the 11am march, get your picture, a lot of people will be waiting by the stage for Phasma so the march path will be opened until 5 minutes before she comes out
After your picture, try and get as close to the stage as possible, using the areas left on the sides of the stage, as soon as the stormtroopers do their thing and leave you can walk up to the stage, everyone will do the same so be ready, for the 11:30 show
I got this picture with Launch Bay in the background only being in that spot for 5 minutes

Now that is one AWESOME picture!! I have to try for that as well. Just to clarify - you wait like 10 to 15 minutes prior to the show in front of Launch Bay. Do they have tape on the ground or would you just ask a CM where to wait? I have three kids who want to see the march and I do NOT want some adult showing up last minute and just standing in front of them and block their view. After that we move to the stage and when everyone leaves we rush for in for front row for the next show. Or we may come back for a later show after all. Did I get that right?

Edited: I think I didn't get that right.... the Phasma walk is not that SW show that just premiered, right? D'Oh. No wonder I was so underwhelmed when I watched the video. The new SW stage show is something entirely different, right? If so.... 11am Phasma walk, 11:30am SW show, right?

I know it's not strictly SW at DHS, but wanted to share these here... Just received the MB stickers I created in Magic Your Band, and placed them on our red MBs that we received yesterday. Each one lists the races that person is running. Ta da!

right there are two "shows" one is Phasma and stormtroopers marching from Launch Bay to center stage where they do a 5 minute drill
The other show is A Galaxy Far Far Away that's the one with the screens and the pop up characters. The schedule for both is on the first page

I'm getting a little worried that Disney will screw up Star Wars land....

Very nice! If you are willing to, is there a way to share your design?

OMG read this while listening to Hamilton

Thanks!

I'd be happy to! Their site makes it pretty easy. I took screen shots from the race guide, manipulated a bit, borders, etc.

I'm out now, but I believe I saved the pics that I ultimately just dropped into Magic Your Band's online band designer. Will post tonight!

I have close friends that are drag queens and can walk better than that. Again, Phasma does have a strut but not exaggerated like that.

I think it's a combination, maybe it's a male CM trying to do a female walk and/or the CM doesn't feel comfortable in the armor.

Two very distinct possibilities!

Did you guys see this? My kids opened the app, saw the update, and immediately began screaming. We got our copy of The Force Awakens today, so I guess I know what our plans are for this evening...

Do you think we find out whether we get an extension on the current Fireworks at the 4/15 hours update or much later than that? I know the rumors are Memorial day weekend timeframe, but would love to see any Star wars Fireworks when I'm there in a month.

I am kind of losing my mind right now. I got the update for him but NOT MY BLURAY. AAH. It is floating off somewhere in a UPS truck.

Ugh - that's frustrating! Hopefully they'll get it to you today.

I went and saw the new show today. Well, "saw" is probably the wrong word, since all I really saw from the seat of my rollator was the top third of the screens and a lot of people's butts. I guess I'll watch the video that was posted the other day instead.

New entertainment schedule for May comes out next week, so hopefully we will know

I was thinking about people in wheel chairs and scooters

Sigh. Sadly my mail runs at 10am, nearly like clock work. So no BB party for me! I can't wait to see what he does though. In the meantime, I guess I will watch the originals.

I am impatiently waiting for my daughter to come back from school. She made me promise that I would not watch any of the bonus material. She's in her H.S. production of Beauty and the Beast and the show opens next week so they have rehearsals until 6pm...they wait is killing me
I was "allowed" to watch the actual movie and I paid close attention to Phasma's walk and it definitely isn't as sway'e' as the Phasma at the Studios

No hip sway, but she does move her blaster the same way.

Sunday the troopers totally made our day. My son and his friend got "jedinapped". I wish I had video.

I was laughing too hard to hear what they were saying. His friend was trying to use jedi mind tricks on them.
