Can someone give me a good idea of what Star Tours is like? I have two family members who get motion sickness, and one member who is also a little afraid of the unknown. We all like Star Wars, though. Would this be a ride we should try or should we steer clear? Thanks!

The dessert party is scheduled for 7, so with our SciFi ADR less than an hour before, it makes sense that they required the cancellation. I don't know whether the cutoff for ADR conflicts is an hour or more, but my guess is they'll let you keep it.

But you should be asking yourself whether you really want to. We were planning on cancelling the SciFi ADR anyway, I was just caught off guard when they required it because my mind set was still around the 8:30 time for the start of the fireworks. There's a lot of food and drink available at the dessert party. We still have an 11:30 ADR for 50s PT, and will either head back to our room or get a mid afternoon snack or both. It might be a good day for us to hit up Ample Hills.

It's an hour or less that they require you to cancel. I definitely want our dinner - it's the Halloween dine and the kids are looking forward to it. So I'm less worried about it being too much food than I am getting in and out on time for the dessert party

Finally opened for September 9th. Canceled my dinner ADR. Who eats a full meal before an ayce dessert party? Really. What a waste of tasty desserts that would be.

We do. Our kids are little and need real food before the sugar coma.

Depending how bad their motion sickness is...they may be okay. Its a large capacity craft - maybe like 20 seats? So the craft moves around and the seats jiggle but its not like a roller coaster, or a closed in space like Mission Space. It has a large movie screen with a lot of movement - not scary at all in my opinion. I really love it - if you are a Star Wars fan, you will too!!

I would recommend watching a video of the ride and the ride vehicle. I agree, if you love sw you will love this ride

This probably justifies a separate thread, and maybe even a search for prior Star Tours threads. It's a simulator ride, and the corners, especially the two back corners, have more motion than the center. It's never bothered me, but DH won't go on it anymore. The most common explanation for motivation n sickness is when the image being projected doesn't sync up in your brain with the motions you're feeling.

I agree! That said, one of our party got motion sickness on a lot of the rides (EE, RnR, SM) but was fine with Star Tours. Depends a lot on the person, I guess!

Thanks, all. I have the info I need now for Star Tours. I appreciate the input.

The walkway leading straight toward gmr through Hollywood blvd remained a walkway until about 10 minutes prior to the show, then the cm allowed papa top stand there
It didn't affect the front view of the dessert party at all I just want to give you guys a heads up if you're looking for last minute spots
I doubled checked and strollers are not allowed inside Launch Bay but are allowed inside the roped off area outside

Thanks to you guys, managed to book for a party of 7! Question... I seem to recall that they used to give out glow cubes with the drinks... Do they still do that?

Not at the dessert party. You can get millennium Falcon, xwings or death star cubes from the lounge at Brown Derby
I should add that I haven't seen the Millennium Falcon one recently, so not sure if it's not available anymore

 

[SugarRush]

Wahoo! Got the 23rd!

See you there
