Is the symphony in the stars fireworks show shown every night in May or just on fri/sat/sun of Star Wars weekends?

Just weekends.

Ooooh Guinne Pigs, I have a favor to ask! Will someone please scan and upload the HS-SWW maps/brochures on say Monday after you are done Feeling the Force?

If the WDW doesn't post it a few days before the first weekend (last year they did), and it's not leaked a few days before (last year it was) I will take pictures of each side on Friday morning while waiting to enter DHS and post it here

Just SWW, no weekdays.

Just a note that the website reservation system still can't tell that the Feel the Force Premium package and a breakfast reso at the Dine-In are different things, and one should be able to hold both reservations. I'm sure I can fix this by calling WDWDINE but it feels like such a weird glitch to still have.

When i did a dining search to look for RH just now, it looks like the galactic breakfast and a few other restaurants are not even showing in search results. Hooray for glitches!

Does anyone remember when did the character meals opened for booking? I like to keep the timeline of things opening for booking in the first post to help plan for next year and I didn't make a note of that day.

Disney Food Blog says reservations opened on December 3, 2014. I saw the heading many times when I was searching for the Feel the Force packages to open (before I found this awesome thread!).

Nobody knows. I hope it's early because we are going to DHS for May the 4th.

So just pulled out the crafty and made DD this to wear to DHS. DD picked out all the fabric. Still not sure if we will have time to do a Baymax M&G, but we will def stop by and see how long the wait is. The rest of us have our SW shirts.

Got an email that our MagicBands shipped today! 29 days to go. Put up the countdown calendar one of the DISigners made for us! So excited!

I have a 4pm ADR on May 15th at 50s PT. Want to move it forward about an hour now so that I can hit Rebel Hangar before my D-Tech appointment. Gonna have to check those ADRs regularly and keep everything crossed

I check in may 13th and I made my H+V 180+10 days prior no issue.

So cute, I love that Baymax fabric! We haven't really found much Big Hero 6 clothing here in the UK, beyond the Disney Store website - just a 2-pack of t-shirts for boys from H&M and absolutely nothing for girls. Great idea, though, making your own.

I need costume advice. I'm a single dad who can't sew a button. I'm set to order the Ezra costume for DS6 from the Disney store site here. It's a "bodysuit" from man-made materials, so I'm sure it will be hot. Unfortunately, some of the better details are in the legs, so I'm reluctant to just cut them off.

If I take this to a tailor, could they modify it to make it better-suited for the heat? Some thoughts I had - could you make the pant legs detachable with a zipper or velcro? could you put vents in somewhere (possibly using orange netting)?

Thanks for any advice you might give.

Phones open at 7:00. Online is refreshed by 6:00 though sometimes earlier. But it may not be released until the Disney Parks Blog announcement, which would more likely be around 10:00.

No But we live on hope.

DS and I really need to practice on our ukeleles

Are you on the Texas Ukelele group? My daughter plays, too! She's been taking lessons at Guitar Center for a couple of years now. Last month she switched to Bass Guitar.

If the WDW doesn't post it a few days before the first weekend (last year they did), and it's not leaked a few days before (last year it was) I will take pictures of each side on Friday morning while waiting to enter DHS and post it here

Thanks! OH I hope it's leaked!

I do have both reservations and they show separately on MDE. Granted, I had the FtF package booked before I booked SciFi, in case order makes the difference. So you only see 1 on your MDE reservation list?

Girl BH6 is tough to find, and focuses on the girl characters. DD is very picky and wanted something girly. It's just a pillowcase dress, so not too tough to sew, but nice and cool.

Eta, got the fabric at Joanne's

Trying to read through all the pages, but not finding an answer (possibly because there isn't one) but do we know a price for the RH? and what that includes? Is there a kids price? I keep getting Donald too, and I completely missed the blog post with pics of the meals :/
