I am going to be in Orlando for a convention in Feb, and a vendor is taking a bunch of us to the Dessert Party. That's the only way I could ever afford it in all honesty.
Some lightsabers have intricate wiring, but I would hope that simply turning it on to show security that it's a light-device would would be okay. Personally, I would LOVE to see a bunch of lightsabers making a rainbow tribute.
PS: Anyone wonder why it's called Galactic Nights? Anyone suspect another night is on the way?
Will this event be recurring?
Yes. Star Wars Galactic Nights will return for select dates and we look forward to sharing more information in the future.
welcome back!!I have been sooo MIA from this thread since the summer. It was a mess of buying a condo, renovations (still not done!), work blowing up, and two rundisney race trips - it was all I could do to stay on top of the race threads! But now with the marathon over (officially a marathoner!) I can finally focus on planning my dark side trip!
I am completely unsure of what to do here. We are arriving on the 14th for Celebration, then doing Universal for 2 days for Harry Potter (1st time) and then moving to disney on the night of the 18th through Monday the 24th for the challenge races. We have tickets taken care of with AP's for disney. But, hotel for celebration, universal, and disney + Universal tickets is killing the budget. I'd love to do this event, but, it means almost $50 in uber fees going back and forth to attend it since we won't be on disney property that night. You know, on top of the $250 for two tickets. If they are going to do it any other night...
I'm just afraid this will sell out before they announce other nights ...and then they will say the other nights occur in...May. haha.
I would think SWaGS will be at 8pm. If there is only one F! not sure you could do bothWhen I go in March, Fantasmic is scheduled for 8:30, with the park closing at 8. What time do you think SWGS will be if you had to guess? We would really like to do the dessert party. Will there be time for all of it?
So the Galactic Nights event suggests that Boba Fett will be meeting inside Launch Bay and also Vader
Since they are doing something to the old game room, I thought it would be Vader for sure, but maybe it's a permanent meet for Boba Fett?
I think Kylo is staying just because of Episode VIII. So we will have 3 permanent meet and greets inside Launch BayThat would be awesome. At this point, I am like anyone but Kylo. I wold vaguely even consider Jar Jar Binks, before I blew my head off
There's a lot of information in the WDW description:
During Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, you’ll see and hear and feel the music, magic and characters from the Saga as they light up the night with memorable Star Wars moments—complete with state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, pyrotechnics and more.
Plus, before you’re thrust into the middle of the action starring the Skywalker family, keep your attention glued to the main stage for a special interactive pre-show—exclusive to the event!
Interactive preshow?
yes, just like SWW. Wait, why can't we have SWW again?? not that I'm bitter or anythingWhat I seriously think is that there will be an appearance by the Actors who are going to be in the Parade.
