It was very disconcerting to find out that this was a one night event, seeing that in the name it leads to being multiple by the “nights” being plural. I understand it was correlated with Star Wars Celebration, however just like the Very Merry Christmas and Not So Scary Holloeeen Parties being multiple nights made people believe there were more than one of these. I’m sure if there were more than one Galactic Night, they would sell out because of the huge fanbase of the Star Wars Universe. Case in point the Star Wars Weekends of the past. I do, as well as many other people I’ve spoken to, hope there’s a larger scale idea for Galactic Nights or Star Wars Weekends returning in the near future.
Are there any special Star Wars Events on May the 4th?
Will this happen more than once? If not, why is it called Galactic NIGHTS vs. NIGHT?
Sarah, the rules were changed a year or two ago as a security measure. They no longer allow to wear mask or anything covering the face, and I believe they have restrictions as far as dressing as Disney characters, because they were having problems with people mistaken them for thier in park characters played by castmembers. They should be posted online somewhere about what you can wear now, but they still encourage costumes. Also, no provocative costumes.
Costume rules state no one over 14 can come in costume. Is that accurate for Galactic Nights as well?
@Peter Disney is not doing mash-ups with Star Wars characters anymore.
Is BB-8 coming to Disneyland?
This is so exciting! I’m still wondering if wearing alien makeup would be ok concerning the costumes. I’ve read the rules and it doesn’t say no but just always want to make sure!! Can not wait for this!!
Will there be Jedi Mickey and the other Disney characters dressed up as Star Wars characters? Will there be any special dining events?
