From what I have heard (I didn't go since I need my Dad to be in FL in order to take me to these things), it was a lot of fun. I heard the special fireworks that evening are incredible. Also, supposedly there were less than 10,000 people in EPCOT which sounds insane to me.
They should do something with like an evil empire thingee that is taking over the universe, and they have a gigantic death moon or something, but some young person on an outlying planet discovers he/she/it has hereditary magical powers, which some nice old guy/gal/thing develops, then they join with some sort of opposing force--let's call them rebels--and they miraculously manage to destroy the death moon! Also, throw in some small cute creatures/androids, but no Gungans!
Thanks for sharing, I’ve never been to a DVC event before so I’m curious what there like.From what I have heard (I didn't go since I need my Dad to be in FL in order to take me to these things), it was a lot of fun.

I have only been to the Magic Kingdom party. If the EPCOT one is anything like the party at the Magic Kingdom, you will have a great time. It's like getting a Disney After Hours Event for free except for the free snacks (however we got a free quick service meal at the Magic Kingdom Party. I assume it's the same at EPCOT but not sure).
Since Disney took over Lucasfilm I believe all the previous written stuff (books, comics etc) were thrown out and became the Star Wars Legends universe. They then worked on rebuilding the universe canon 're-mastering' ideas that work like Thrawn ... so Thrawn did sort of come from the new Trilogy time period but was brought back into canon before Episode 4. As far as I know Disney hasn't done any books in the Old Republic era yet? If so, then there is technically no Old Republic era to speak of yet.
It was fun - pretty much everything was open, relatively short lines (~15 mins for Soarin, a bit more for Test Track and Frozen) - though we opted to do more of the smaller rides (was kind of neat to ride Living with the land at night) and you got a voucher for a meal (we went to the Fish and Chips shop), were handing out Mickey bars as much as you wanted. They had characters out - not that many truly unique characters, but the Fab 5 were in various costumes - like Daisy in a Norwegian outfit. And then they did a special Fireworks show and the finale felt like they used as many fireworks in the last 30 secs as in the rest of the show combined. Also had a DJ out by the fountains doing a dance party.
Not sure how many people, but definitely less than a typical day but felt like more than like the paid after hours events. It wasn't *empty* but wasn't packed either. Also, people were in the table service restaurants so everyone that was there was there for the rides and characters, etc. so maybe only 10K people, but they were all doing similar things (if that makes sense - just comparing it to a standard dayFrom what I have heard (I didn't go since I need my Dad to be in FL in order to take me to these things), it was a lot of fun.

I like this premise ... any chance that young person be found on a desert like planet? I think that would give it a unique spin
Let's Get Dangerous!!!
Great news - my kids (and I) absolutely love this show!!!
For the DuckTales fans out there (I'm old school from the orginal series) ... Disney started rapidly burning off new episodes over the past two weeks with a new ep every day. I have it set to DVR any new eps, and all the sudden I stared seeing new episodes daily. It caught me off guard as I figured they would air weekly, but I guess in this age of binge watching they're dropping all the eps in one shot.
Ya .. that caught me off guard as well. Even though my DVR was set .. it somehow missed the first episode of this new half-season. I was shocked to see how many new episodes I have loaded up after just a week.
yeah, my kids like the new Duck Tales but they basically just watch stuff on the Disney Now! app via a roku (the TV in the play room only has access to streaming stuff) - and new shows seem to get on there pretty quick relative to when on TV (sometimes seems like even earlier than television premiers)
