Just a question. Did you hear over the parks loud speaker that they added a 2nd Fantasmic! last night? I wonder how many people were aware of that last minute addition.
I'm glad you had time to see both

Didn't hear the announcement, but regardless, the 9pm show was really pushing it with the 10mo, considering he barely let us stay for the electrical parade at MK a couple days earlier. Fortunately, he loved the show and hung in there. :)

I was wondering how people in the parks know that a show has been added.
I've been at MK when they announce that the park will close an hour later and they did the announcement through speakers all around the park

We made the boat ride from BCV over to DHS last night to view the Star Wars fireworks from outside of the park since they didn't have them scheduled on either of our DHS days. It was completely worth it. Great view and we could hear most of the music. My son kept screaming "this is awesome" then sighed "best moment of my life" when it was over. Considering this trip started out as a SWW trip for him, that made me happy. Got to meet Chewy and Kylo and traded with Jawas, trained to be Jedi, saw the Stormtroopers, rode Star Tours several times, spent some time looking around Launch Bay, and got to do some awesome Jedi posing for pictures with light sabers courtesy of a great CM. We've squeezed a decent amount of Star Wars out of this trip. We've got another week to go, but no more DHS days. Until next year, Star Wars!

Are Jawas walking around? I remember hearing they would trade with you at a special meal that was during SWW, but I dint know they are in the parks now? Can you shoot me some more detail on them? I heard for that specific meal that you should bring stuff to trade with them.
What did your son trade/receive?

They are inside Launch Bay, no set schedule but they are there almost all day. You can bring shiny things like beads, fake coins, key chains, pins.

There was a jawa inside lanch bay when we were there on Monday AM. He posed for pictures and traded with some others around. Unfortunately, I left our shiny stuff in the stroller! D'oh!
 
We went to Launch Bay two different times and Jawas were walking around both times. In the past (SWW), I'd bring stuff for the boys to trade, but I didn't really think to bring anything this time, so when my boys tried to trade money/coins, they just shook their heads, LOL. It's okay, we still got pictures.

We also had some great one-on-one interaction with some Stormtroopers in one of the prop rooms when no one else was around.

We also got some pixie dust. We had already met Kylo Ren, but knew we didn't have enough time to wait in Chewie's line before we had to leave for a FP. I was chatting with a CM in one of the rooms about random stuff and she asked if we had met the characters and I told we had met Kylo Ren but not Chewie. She then escorted us directly via a side entrance to the front of Chewie's line! So cool!

We did the SitS fireworks party. I really hesitated on spending that kind of money when I have seen SW fireworks a few times before at SWW. The consensus is that while I have no regrets, I wouldn't spend the money to do it again. It was very enjoyable, but I don't know if it was $250 enjoyable, LOL. With the new fireworks/projections starting later this week, though, I think there will be more benefit.

They were in the Launch Bay when we were there during Spring Break. The first time my 8yoDS tried trading with them he offered a pin-on button, it was a no-go. Second time, he offered up a Mickey Mouse band-aid (new, not used) and SUCCESS! No clue if there is a method to their madness, but it was a fun experience.
