Is this debuting in the US only or will it be available in Canada?

Not sure. We may find out tomorrow.

Yes there is one but it’s at Typhoon lagoon.

Yes there is one but it’s at Typhoon lagoon.

That is sold out.

I was able to get it for June about 3 hours after booking.

I believe the MK one is in May as well. I can be wrong.

Star Wars Celebration will have a ride vehicle from the Rise of the Resistance ride on display and available for photo ops.

From Screenrant: The marketing for Star Wars 9 is due to begin at this week's Star Wars Celebration in a dedicated panel on Friday, April 12 at 9.00 am-10.00 am PT (12.00 pm-1.00 pm ET, 5.00 pm-6.00 pm GMT). It's here we're expected to get the title and first trailer for Episode IX, likely at the end of the hour if the approach taken with Star Wars: The Last Jedi is anything to go by.

The Star Wars 9 Celebration panel, as with all major Star Wars events over the weekend, will be live-streamed on the official Star Wars YouTube channel and also on the Star Wars website

Chris Hemsworth stuffed his daughter's shoes with candy bars so she'd be tall enough for guardians at Disneyland.

Hope they threw out the shoes (and candy) afterwards.

Ooh, I also just watched Dumbo. Hadn't planned to, but we were late for Shazam so saw Dumbo instead.

Boyfriend and I actually really liked it. So... Yeah.

Dumbo was adorable.

I’m glad he got some flack for this. I am not at all for circumventing height requirements.

However, upon thinking about this, I am a little curious as to why there is a height requirement on this ride, given that it only has a lap belt. My guess is that it is easier than having a minimum weight requirement, and height often correlates with weight? But I guess that is the case with several lap bar rides...

I kind of doubt it. But they may have cut hours mid- to later in August because that's when locals head back to school.
*This is just a guess. I'm being lazy and not actually looking up hours changes or school calendars.

I track 2.3 million schoolkids in the 21 biggest FL school districts. 65% are back in school on 8/12, and 85% by 8/14.

If she was close enough that a candy bar pushed her over I don't think it's that big a deal. The Disney measuring sticks aren't even consistent.

Oh I know. I will be in Wintrust Arena for the Episode IX panel. And the Mandalorian panel.

And maybe Galaxy's Edge. I think the lottery system glitched on me so need to check with guest services.

I only entered for the SWGE panel and didn’t get in.

My friend got into the Galaxy's edge panel. She only entered the lottery system for two panels.

Sigh, wish I was going.

If this lottery system works, I hope they adopt it for D23 Expo in 2021. It sounds better to know ahead of time instead of waiting for hours, sleeping on hard concrete, to find out that you won't be getting in.
