We got our tickets for this, we went to the last Star Wars Weekends(back in 2015) and had a blast. Hoping its similarly enjoyable. This past year we've been hitting the up charge parties a lot. WDW has gotten so routinely crowded during our visits that it is one of the ways to enjoy some time in the park without insane lines.

Yep. I'm going.

Does anyone know how the Jedi Training Academy works at Galactic Nights? We're considering going, in part because our nephew didn't get to participate during his first ever trip, so we want to make sure that he gets a chance to be part of the show, especially if we're paying for the special event ticket.

At the one last April, we signed our kiddo up beside the Indiana Jones gift shop, not sure of the actual name of the place. That’s where we met back for them to walk to the Jedi Training. We went at 5 pm, when party guest were allowed to enter the park. Sign-up was crowded, but not nearly as crowded as during regular park hours in our previous experiences.

I cannot believe they are charging a special charge on top of a specialty ticketed price event for 5 drinks...
Oh wait, sadly, I can.

Just unbelievable...

Looking like a rain-out.

Too soon to tell. That tropical system in the Gulf will have passed by then. It is the time of year for daily afternoon thunderstorms, though. Hardly a rain out.

Forecast is 100% chance of rain on Saturday (because of that system going due north in the Gulf). By Sunday night, 40% chance of rain with scattered thunderstorms.
