Can we talk Galaxy Edge rides? I am so confused. Do they have FP's for them? Do you make any type of reservation and if so when does that happen?

No FP’s. Standby only.

We plan on rope dropping, hitting Toy Story first then hitting Galaxies Edge. I'm holding out hope that they'll extend the extra extra magic hours to December. Currently you can get into HS as early as 6am. This is happening until Nov. 2nd for now. I'm holding out hope that they'll push this out to December/January because of the other ride opening up on December 5th. But no word yet on whether or not that is actually going to happen.

Have you tried TP reservation finder? I considered switching our 23 to 24 last week. I got an alert within a couple days. You can have 2 alerts going, so that doubles your chances for a match.

Ugh, this is so hard to plan. Now I'm thinking I should just switch my HS days to EMH days.

The SW Dessert party has special characters? Sadly, no SW fireworks in December as they've replaced them with Jingle Bam, Jingle Jam (which I'm not a fan of, those elves annoy the hell out of me, LOL!), but I may consider a future SW Dessert party if they've got special characters...

Not 'unique' I guess, but without the line - Stormtroopers, Jawas, Kylo Ren, and Chewbacca and BB-8

Found the new thread! My daughter (28) and I (66 year old mom) are booked for Dec. 9-14 off site at Fairfield Inn and Suites Lake Buena Vista for the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY of our very first mom/daughter trip to WDW in 1999 !!! She was only 8 years old and yet it seems like yesterday. Now she's an all-grown-up Star Wars fanatic and we are super - excited!!

So my daughter and I (both adults) are visiting from 17 to 26 December and at the moment I have not bought an airline baggage allowance so only carry ons. What would you pack? I am guessing lots of layers. I have never visited at this time of year so I would love to hear your thoughts.

I think that layers are the best way to go for planning at this point in time. The weather is difficult to predict in December (we were fine in t-shirts and jeans the first week in 2017 but the next week people were wearing jackets and gloves). A week or so before you should have a better idea, but I know that it is hard to wait until then!

it is hard to wait

And keep it a secret!

And keep it a secret!

Even harder! We have given up on packing in carry-ons, so I salute you there too!
