Good Morning!!!
It seems like there are several us looking for different times for SWW ADR's that what we currently have. So none of us will cancel them until we find that better time... Does anyone think there might be value in us starting a DIS thread or a FB if it's not "legal" or even go on our Roll Call page to suggest "trades". It may be more trouble than it's worth & we may just all want the same thing but just thought I'd throw it out there...

For example, if I can find a Galactic Breakfast (for 8- willing to split up) on 5/31, I'd end of canceling my H & V dinner that day, an early 50PT lunch and a Sci Fi breakfast later in the week.
Oh how the search for my perfect plan pains me...

I was thinking a Fb page for this and the Chewie Run would be a good idea.
I can open a private page for the Chewie run.
 
They have finally added the motorcade,the Padawan Mind Challenge times (12:15pm, 2:30pm, 4:15pm and 6pm) and the Galactic Dance Party (7pm) to the schedule, here's the link

Updating the first post to add the times for PMC, the first 2 are sign ups only, sign ups are at ABC Sound Studio event information table and the last 2 are Family edition, families get picked around the Event Stage
 
These two comments on the DPB make me sad. Disney should announce things first then have them open for booking so this doesn't continue to happen


This is very disappointing. The first Friday and Saturday already are booked, and the gal on the phone said they’ve been taking reservations since at least last week. How can we find out about these things in time to take advantage of them? If they’re not being announced here first, where are they being announced?
Crazy that this is booked already! And that we are just hearing about it!! I have been keeping track of all Star Wars related news since we are coming specifically for this event, first time I saw anything about this. Even had talked to a CM about dining for our trip and she didn’t bring it up.
 


Their communication strategy is mind boggling. Are they hoping that information slowly leaks out before things are officially announced, so the contact center isn't hit with a surge of calls all at once and the systems get overwhelmed? The thing that happened on Monday with Rebel Hangar with some agents booking and some not and others yet seemly confused should never happen if your communication is strong.
 
"borrowed" this one from the SWW tips fb page

dh and ds did the family version last year. Since ot was just the two of them, they were paired with 2 members of another family.

Good Morning !
Sounds great to have a SWW ADR cancelation page. I'd be interested in that.
The Chewie Run FB sounds fun.
 
He guys, I asked this a couple of days ago, but with all the Rebel Hangout discussion, if it was answered, I didn't see it. We are going the first weekend and it says in post #1 that JAT and Ian are not signing. Is that still correct? Does that also mean they will not be doing pictures with folks? I sure hope they are at least taking pictures. The couple that is going with us has a Marine son who is deployed now in hotspots and the Dad has built a new light saber for him. He plans on taking it around and getting as many of the characters and celebs as possible to hold it for pictures. He wants to make a photo album for his son with the pictures, and hopefully autographs to give his son along with the light saber when he gets back from deployment. I'm really wanting to help make that happen.

Just trying to figure out how our weekend is going to flow. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry I missed your question.
Yes, per Shawn Slater from DPB they are not signing autograph or doing any kind of meet and greet. You can see them in the parade and the show at Theater of the Stars
 
Sorry if I missed this but what is the Galactic Dance Party? I see it is at 7pm and we have Sci-Fi reservations at 6pm but it seems fun

DJ Lobot's dance party at the Event Stage. Keeps the crowds entertained until the fireworks, he plays techno music with SW infused in it
