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

[Jfine]

We're in for race! Well I'm in for the 5K and DH the 10K. I'm hoping to volunteer for the 10K, but we'll see. I have had problems doing the early registration under the AP link. I have no idea what's going on there, but we're in!

I find this interesting:
The dessert party for the Osborne Lights just opened up for booking and December 18th is not available to book...the Osborne lights will still be on that day so I'm wondering why no dessert party
I'll be at the park that day hoping they do something special

We'll be there too. Hope to see you!

HOPEFULLY they don't wait until the 18 to open launch bay.........

I'm kinda thinking it might be the 18th. It would make sense & would kind of kill 2 birds with 1 stone: the impending opening, along with what will be everyone's desire for them to do something special on that day.

Just sent an email off basically begging for any information as Southwest opens its flights soon and my 7 month booking window opens next month. I am also looking for tickets for my Christmas trip and need to know if I will be visiting the parks in May so I know whether an AP makes sense or not. Really hoping I don't get the canned response.

If they have a lot of behind the scene stuff from the movie they won't open it earlier, same with the new Star Tours sequence, if it's something we have already seen in trailers then maybe before but if it's not we're going to have to wait until December 18th.

Hello! I just saw a rumor on FB that SWW wouldn't be happening next year and it made me remember this awesome thread so I thought I'd come see what the smart people know

We had an amazing time last year and even though we don't plan to go this year I'm going to live vicariously through you all

I ended up changing my mind & decided to keep my bank account happy as well so instead of registering for the half, I went for the 5k. I am super excited.

I'm also anxiously hoping that they don't decide to cancel. If they decide to stop, they need to give us one last year first.

So as an update... there is no update. I still have not received an email response (canned or otherwise) or a phone call. I'm hoping this means when I do hear back, I'll at least something to give everyone (A New) Hope.

Question for any DVC owners here. Has anyone tried contacting Member Services on this? If not, I was thinking of making a call.

In my experience as a DVC owner since 2006, Member Svcs won't know any more than any other CMs.

I happened to mention it in passing when I was adding an adult to one of our DVC stays, and she just said "I do wish we had more info sooner on events".

Who had the idea of making a Halloween costume out of the BB8 bike helmet? Well, here's someone that did it. It looks really good.

That was me! Haha, love it. I am making one for my, currently, 14month old. The helmet is way too big, but I wish it would work. My 6yo would love to inherit it afterwards. Since it is for a wee little, I thought I'd mimic one of those pumpkin costumes but BB style.

yes it's been there for the last couple of year. This year they have a haunted house called : The Walking Dead-The Living and the Dead.

Oooh! I binge-watched the entire series over the summer -- really got hooked. I dismissed it for years, until I finally heard that a key person involved was responsible for Shawshank Redemption. I think it shows - really solid.

Ahh, now I have to decide what theater to see it at. Wonder if/when they'll announce a marathon.

I did go to preview as well - super exhausted! I managed 8/9 and Bill and Ted. Skipped Werewolf, but will do that another night. I pretty much enjoyed everything. What was your favorite?

Wonderland house was fantastic!! and loved the screampunk area. And Bill and Ted making fun of Disney is always good

AMC actually tweeted what is most likely a marathon yesterday, but then took it down. I'm guessing they will. It would be cool to do it on 12/17 leading up to a midnight showing of VII. I would do it, especially because it would keep me away from the real world and being spoiled by the internet prior to seeing the movie.

At what time would a marathon have to start if they have 7pm releases on Thursday though? I'm off on the 18th, Stephanie already said she won't go to school on the 18th and we are planning for a 7pm release on Thursday which is what they've been doing recently with all major movies. We might go IMAX first then RPX

 

[jennab113]

For the Avengers Marathon, there were 11 movies (counting AoU) and it started at 6PM the night before, ending with a 7pm AoU. The final 7 movies started at 3AM, so I don't know how they would do it.

I was just thinking about the fact that they are not booking the dessert party for Osborne light on Dec. 18th, maybe they will do a Disney Parks Blog meetup to watch the movie and will include the dessert party?
