Hi from across the Ditch - Green - Thursday 17-Aug-2017
Hi everyone,
My name is Andrew, TD27881 from Outpost 42 in New Zealand. Just stopping by to say hi.
The thread from, Apok on the main 501st forums, reminded me that I wanted to come to the dreamworld troop, and I had better do it this year as it's the last one!

Welcome to our forums, really hope you can make it to DW next year it's going to be huge.

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times now. Why are they canning the DW event?

Short answer (and most of the long answer too): Disney hates competition

Hi and welcome to the forums , plenty of expats in the Garrison that can translate for you at Dreamworld.

Not really the short answer.
Disney have spent a lot of money to purchase LFL and the Star Wars brand. With the opening of the newly themed Star Wars lands the understandable keen to have a tight reign on their IP.
The actual short answer is this event got too big and awesome, which plonked us fair onto their radar. We just became too good. This came directly from Disney in a phone call to me. Damn us for being so awesome!
At least you'll be at the biggest and best dw we will have.
