Who's the guy in black in front?

The shorter of the two in this video (he's also a Citizen of Hollywood, super funny)

Got Rebel Hangar for 4pm on 5/29. It'll be a great snack/rest since we don't go to HDDR til 8:30 that night. Can't wait!

OK, since I changed my schedule again. Let me know if you see any issues. Somehow after I moved Rebel Hanger I ended up with extra free time. Not sure how that worked out.

Friday, May 15:

• Arrive by 7am
• Gates Open 7:30am
• Stormin the Park 7:45am
• Chewie 8:00am (head there right from RD)
• Meet Mickey/Minnie 8:30am
• Line Up for Parade 9:15
• Celebrity Motorcade Parade 11am
• Leave the Park for lunch 11:45 - 2:00pm
• Great Movie Ride FP+ 2:00pm
• Chipwoks or Roaming Characters
• Stars of the Saga FP+ (3:00pm - 4:00pm)

• Rebel Hangar 4:10
• Muppet Vision FP+ 5:20 pm (5:00-6:00)
• Meet Donald/Goofy (or Character Palooza) 5:45pm
• Line up for Obi Wan and Beyond 6:30pm
• Obi-Wan and Beyond (JAT) 7:00pm
• Shopping at Darth Maul 7:45pm
• Snack - possibly grab seats at Echo Lake

• Symphony in the Stars Fireworks (9:45pm)
• Fantasmic 10:30pm

Sunday, May 17:

• Arrive between 10 and noon.
• DIS Meetup/Lunch - ABC Commisary 11:30am
• Meet any characters we missed
• Frozen Singalong FP+ 1:20pm
• VOTLM FP+ 2:15pm

• Meet any characters we missed
• Leave the park for dinner 5:45-8:00pm
• DJ Dance Party

looks good. Remember that Darth's Mall will close earlier than the park because of fireworks fallout. I think they will probably close around 8 to 8:30pm

Greedo and the Cantina Band have also been at Star Tours. Still haven't seen any photos of Luke, Leia, nor any other face characters.

I really hope they bring this back. They used to ride ST during SWW all the time (The Cantina Band) we did it several times with them, so funny

Whew, online refreshing finally got me 7:50pm on 5/23. Want to go over right after Obi Wan show, so was trying for 7:40, but I think this should work! Yay! (We have dessert party that night - package day).

@Dugette I gave in and did this too - same time. But 1 week prior. So if I stick with it, I'll give you a report when I see you! I don't need the food, but I thought it would be a nice place to get a snack after Obi Wan.

We were thinking light dinner, as there's no time to really sit down and dine on a 4-show day! Anxious to hear how it works out, timing-wise!

Finally managed to get a late time for sat 6/6 so we can go somewhere else during the day if need be! Thought maybe at that time it may have thinned out as others will be checking into the dessert party,
Thanks to all on this thread for the info and for making me feel normal about all this organisation! Xx

How did you search for this online? I can't seem to find it!

I closed the link I had open. And just went to search and it looks like they took it down again?

I just used the link posted and was able to book 5/22 at 6:20pm.

I was on it a couple of minutes ago and it was working.

I think it's getting busy again - one time it opens, then the next it's Donald, then refresh and it opens again.

Is the Obi Wan and Beyond show just about SW Rebels?

Going to release a June 13 Rebel Hanger for 7 at 5:20

when were you releasing it? ty

Thanks. I don't think we'll be there too long. I have a limited budget and I'm mostly only interested in the SW Disney specific merchandise.

 

[yulilin3]

Is the Obi Wan and Beyond show just about SW Rebels?

No, not at all.
It's James Arnold Taylor showcasing his talent for voice overs (he does 200 voices in this show) while he takes you thru his career. Like I said, it's the least SW show during SWW but it is so great, with a wonderful message at the end.
Behind the Force Rebels is all about Rebels

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

I've been out so I'm about 20 pages behind but I just booked online for 5/17 at 5:35 pm!!! Earlier (not like anyone can keep track of this fast moving thread) I booked 5/15 at 6 pm (3 people) - 5/17 was my preferred day and 5:30 my preferred time but I took what she could get.

SO if any Diser wants 5/15 at 6pm 3 people (although I suspect 4 would probably be the same size table) - please PM me tonight and we can coordinate me cancelling. If not I'll cancel it in the morning

I was on it a couple of minutes ago and it was working.

I was finally able to pull it up, made a reservation for 5/22, but really wanted 5/24 and now, it has disappeared!
