Does anybody know the price of the TIE fighter bucket & the BB-8 sipper?
Curious. Will Star Tours in Disneyland in California be removed or relocated once the new Star Wars Land opens? It would seem odd to have Star Wars attractions in two different parts of the park.
Hi Erin, I was wondering if there will be any give aways to AP members on the 16th? Like posters or buttons? Thank you!!
I was @ “Season of the Force” last night and there was a soft opening of Hyperspace and Path of the Jedi. Hyperspace was exciting; glad I was able to ride it. Can’t wait to see Force Awakens, due to Path of a Jedi showing. Also got my BB8 sipper; selling @ Pizza Port. No TIE Fighter popcorn buckets till Monday.
Did the Avengers 5K yesterday (Friday the 13th), they already have the BB8 sippers by the (closed) entrance to the Launch Bay (which is the bottom floor of the Innoventions building). They also have a Chewbacca Stein that I don’t see here. The BB8 sipper is very cute. They also opened Hyperspace Galaxy for a few hours for a soft open. We had perfect timing in that we came out of Star Tours & then a cast member told us (as we we very obviously a Star Wars nerd group) it had just opened, so we were definitely in the first 50 or so people to ride it. Everyone was needing out and cheering like crazy once you got to the “hangar” part of the line. The overlay is going to last awhile, I tell you right now.
Hi Erin,
I’m hoping that at least some of this experience, like the galleries etc, will be a permanent attraction as I’m planning my big holiday from Australia for the end of October and November 2016. I really hope it stays as I’d love to experience at least so.me of it
What Brigitte at @7 said! I so hope this is running (half marathon pun) through the Star Wars Half.
Hi Craig, I just passed by the launch bay and there are signs that say it will open on Monday. Bummer:( I was hoping for a sort of soft opening this weekend as well.
Hi Erin
We will be visiting in early February 2016. Will these activities/exhibits still be going on then?
Cheers from Mildura Australia!
An end date has not yet been announced. Cheers!
Does anyone know if this will start early (this weekend)? We are here for Avengers run but leave Sunday night.
Hi Erin, It seems like a missed opportunity to do a blog meet up here. Cant wait to see the new offerings though.
Stay tuned, Bill! 🙂
I am hoping that this event will run through the middle of January, since the Star Wars Half Marathon is the weekend of January 15-17th and I will be visiting for that event!!
will the bb-8 and tie fighter be available longer then just Monday? and will hyperspace mountain be only that Monday?
All of these experiences will be ongoing.
And I will be at Disney WORLD Monday =( Hoping for a similar announcement soon for us……
Thomas – Check out this post for details about Star Wars experiences at Walt Disney World.
Any word on an end date for Seasons of the Force?
An end date has not yet been announced.
Hi, Erin. Will this be open through January 6th? I’m hoping to go January 4th-5th if so. Please let me know! I haven’t been able to find this info anywhere!
Annie – An end date has not yet been announced.
Thanks, Erin! I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. FOR. MONDAY. And I’m pretty sure I see my name on that BB-8 sipper and TIE fighter popcorn bucket!
Oh my gosh! Can’t wait to see all of this!! I will be there November 16th!!
