Tips for Star Wars Fan at HS? Show times not available....

[Vintage princess]

I have been spending hours today wrapping up and putting the final touches on the plans for our trip. (Figuring out our Halloween party has been tricky!) After looking around on here, I see that there is "the march of the First order" and I found "Star Wars: A galaxy Far, Far, Away." show on the Disney website. However, when I try to add the show to my plans it doesn't show any dates after September 12th. (We are going the 13th.) Is this a fluke or are they stopping this show? I can't seem to find out when either of these two things are happening. Any thoughts?

Likely neither, Disney simply hasn't added them to the official schedule yet.

Look at what times those two ran today or tomorrow. 99% chance it'll be the same times when you're there

I agree with the earlier responses. These shows generally run in the afternoon - alternating every half hour and about 4-5 shows apiece each day. They both run about 10 minutes. Even if the times change - the shows are hard to miss or not stumble across if you're at DHS even for a few hours. Both make use of a temporary stage in front of the theater and showcase a number of costumed SW characters. It's worth a few minutes of your time - but you've seen just as good (if not better) if you've seen the 501st Legion march in your local region.

I recall a recent thread that A Galaxy Far, Far Away wasn't running for a bit when they removed the temporary stage, but that some of the characters hung out in the area in front of the theater during that time. The First Order storm troopers also patrol around the Launch Bay - so you might want to look for them, as their interaction is interesting.

If it's simply a case of the calendar not being updated, why stop on the 12th? Normally it's the entire month. Another reason I don't think that's the case is that it's only a couple of weeks away.

It's a guess on my part and is not based on anything official, but I'm wondering if they're getting ready to switch over to the mobile stages again? It was attempted a short time ago. If that's the case, the temporary stage at Center Stage will be removed and replaced by the three mobile stage sections. At least I think it's three. The mobile stages have been operating backstage and I don't think they would attempt it again unless they're sure that they will succeed. Assuming all goes well, the show should resume at the appropriate time.

I hope I'm right because the stage sections are very impressive. They're beautiful pieces of machinery. It's going to be quite the show watching the huge sections separate and travel at a snail's pace to the back stage area. Of course I could be full of baloney and it's just that the calendar hasn't been updated.
