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

But really, we want to see a photo of you wearing your Medal as soon as you receive it!

Do or do not, there is no try
unless BB8 is on the course and completely messes up my time, cause you know I'm stopping for him

I really want to run the Star Wars races next year.

You should, RunDisney races are fun. Go to their site and they have a training program using the run/walk/run method, that's how I've been able to finish.

We are doing the 5k and the half. It's my first 1/2 so if you see someone in a super cool planet running skirt staggering across the finish line sweating like crazy because she's from Michigan and it's so cold that there is still a couple inches of snow on the ground, that will be me

Thanks for volunteering and good luck at the 10k! The Challenge stuff is so cool, I wish I would have done that. We'll see how this year goes - maybe next year!

Make sure to come by and you can give me a sweaty hug

I come with a rumor.

June 5th is when the new Star Wars fireworks show debuts.

I know I'm a few pages behind, but I hope this is true! We are at HS on June 4 and June 6, with the 6th being my SW fan's 13th birthday. Wondering now if we should add PH so we can see it more than once.

I posted my pictures and review of the Galaxy Far Far Away stage show from the soft opening. http://disboards.com/threads/star-w...ide-or-dark-side.3466651/page-5#post-55519722

As our DHS evening is June 10, I like this rumor.

Just catching up the last dozen pages, or so. I'm also liking that rumor. Our DHS day is scheduled to be on 6/13.

 

[AThrillingChase]

Yep- I have agreed with you! That circular area in the one rendering just looked too much like the area in front of LMA...

Getting excited for July if the new fireworks will be up and running by then!

The circular area also reminded me of the courtyard in front of LMA!

Got some info from the HUB on the Star Wars races
10K and Half Marathon : Members of the 501st Legion, will be present at the Main Entrance to DHS during the race.

I can't show a picture but the bibs for the SW races have a black background and the Imperial Symbols in these colors:
Kids races Red and Gray and Blue and Gray
5K white with a stormtrooper in the center
10K green with a tie fighter pilot in the center
Half Marathon Red with Vader in the center
Dark Side Challenge Blue with the Death Star in the center

wristbands for the challenges:
Kessel Run Red
Coast to Coast Blue
Dark Side black

Official Photopass CM will be wearing a bright green polo for easy identification
Here's how the photopass will work:

• A preset 11-digit RaceID will be given to runners in multiple tactics. This RaceID will be the same for all runners for each event of the marathon weekend (each race of the weekend will have a different 11-digit RaceID for all runners of that race to use).
• To link and view race photos, runners must enter the provided, preset 11-digit RaceID followed by their individual 5-digit bib number either onMyDisneyPhotoPass.com or in the My Disney Experience mobile app.
• During the races, runners will be unable to touch a MagicBand or PhotoPass card to link their race photos to their accounts, as is done in the parks. A runner's photos will be linked to his/her bib number post-race, and will be available to view and purchase within 24 hours after the completion of the race.

Kids Races 2016 DARK KIDx xxxx
5K 2016 DARK W5Kx xxxx
10K 2016 DARK W10Kx xxxx
Half Marathon 2016 DARK HLFx xxxx
so the last 5 x is where you put your bib number

The 5K and 10K corrals are A through F
Half Marathon A through L

I'm picking up my volunteer badge today for the Half Marathon, I'm at the finish line on Sunday so look for me, I think I'm doing heat blankets
I'm running the 10K so if anyone wants to meet before the race let me know and we'll figure something out.

This is awesome - thank you so much for posting!! I can't wait

My Star Wars DVD/Blu-Ray/digital copy just arrived in the mail so guess what I'll be doing this weekend!

 

[yulilin3]

Unrelated but related
They changed the menu at Oasis Canteen next to a Indiana Jones, so now the only place to get soft serve ice cream is Gertie the Dinosaur (btw funnel cakes will no longer be served at dhs) so because gertie is the only place to get soft serve it'll be open permanently, so...
They moved the smoking area a bit closer to my favorite spot to see fireworks at echo lake.

 

[Skywise]

(btw funnel cakes will no longer be served at dhs)

Weird... why stop serving funnel cakes altogether?

 

[Benihana]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I am traveling in may with 5/19 being our only DHS day. I am reading conflicting information about the SW fireworks. Will there be any during this time. Some sources say the old ones will continue until the new ones are ready in June. Other sources seem to point to a break from all fireworks at DHS for the time we are there. Thanks!

Got my copy from Target Thursday night and watched last night. Tonight is Outlander (off topic, sorry) but I'll probably watch again in the next few days, I'm sure! Enjoy!

 

[ArielSRL]

Weird... why stop serving funnel cakes altogether?

Why do they keep taking away all my favorite snacks...stuffed pretzels and now this (well, in DHS). Ugh.

I'm not sure why. Here's the new menu

 

[mesaboy2]

I'm not sure why. Here's the new menu

What'll you have today? Nuggets, nuggets, or...er, um, kid's nuggets?

 

[yulilin3]

Right? !?!

 

[msmama]

What'll you have today? Nuggets, nuggets, or...er, um, kid's nuggets?

Plus it's steps away from backlot where they have...nuggets.

 

[lovethattink]

Plus it's steps away from backlot where they have...nuggets.

And ABC Comissary nuggets.

Other menu changes as well. The Star Wars fries are gone from Backlot Express and Caprese sandwich added. Also still have the Thumper raspberry cupcake from Easter. ABC Comissary got rid of fish and chips and shrimp. Only 5 items on their entrée menu.

so we lost a quick service (Studio Catering) a bakery (Writer's Stop) but we got nuggets everywhere, ugh.

 

[lovethattink]

We're heading offsite to eat supper.

Got to see the Phasma march. Loved it!! Got great pictures.

Also took pictures of the new menus.

The Frozen merchandise was all moved from the store on Sunset and all Star Wars merchandise is now there.

Saw someone with a first order officer hat. It was awesome! I nudged dh to ask where he got it, but dh didn't and now regrets not asking. We looked all over the park at merchandise for the hat to no avail.

Well that menu sure sucks!
