Happy Friday everyone!

I just found out we are going to SWW for the day tomorrow and I'm flipping out! I would love some help (I'm trying to read through this thread, but there's a lot to take in). We are annual pass holder who go about once a month, so we know the basics, but I could use some tips on SWW characters and shows. Here are some things we want to do:

1. Get a Fett mug (and Solo popcorn bucket)
2. Get pics with some characters
3. Darth Mall shopping

Thanks for any help!

by any chance did you see the At At shirts from HU?

I didn't look sorry. I was on a mission for the skirt because I missed out on it online. Im sure I will go back. I will look.

yulilin3 · May 22, 2015

basically Vader meets from 8am until (?? that's what I'll find out tonight) his sets are 20 minutes with a 5 minute break...should I keep writting down all of the sets or would it be ok to just say 8am until (??) every set 20 minutes with 5 minutes break?

I don't think you need to write down every set. The every 20 mins with start and end times should be fine.

Where is the stein being sold at and what's the price on it?

Stein is $9.99 plus tax (comes to $10.69) with drink or empty. We found them at Peevy's Cocktails - a drink type stand (looks semi-permanent?) between Min and Bills and H&V.

Today people have posted that they've been at Watto's Grotto.

Drinks at Peevy's were like slushies - strawberry, raspberry lemonade etc

CarolinaBlue · May 22, 2015

Got the steins, light saber shirt, Force Awakens shirt, Yoda poster (DVC), Boba poster (AP). Great day so far! Oops! Also got death star and falcon glow cubes.

DO keep in mind that for the rotating meets you need to get in line about 30 minutes before the character that you wants is scheduled to come out.

There are umbrellas over the DPP parade area! Also, during the parade is a fantastic time to meet Amidala. Her line is super short right now.

I just hopped over from starting the 24 hour day at MK to go to the Jason Fry signing. I'll head to Darth's Mall to check on At At shirts in a minute.

Chewie was at rebel hangar last night and ds6 was picked to be in the motorcade. It's his bday!! Awesome trip so far. Thanks everyone!!

MickeyMinnieMom · May 22, 2015

Probably the same one @yulilin3 received, I just completed a survey that started like this:

I included LOTS of detail on the VIP guides (even though I filled something out about them at guest relations) and others things.

Good Morning Dewdrop · May 22, 2015

now I wish we had gotten the glow cubes!!!! Wish we could be there with you all right now!

So, I think I read someone said the Jawas were not trading at RH when they were there--is this true across the board? I have some trinkets to try to trade with them. If they don't trade at RH, where do they usually hang out where I can trade with them?

There were three Jawas at RH this past Monday night. Two were trading, one with only little kids, one with everyone. We traded glow sticks and a shiny star necklace for a Disney eco pin and a clear flat marble. haha. It was more fun just seeing what we would get, and hoped they would trade what we gave them with kids who would love a package of glow stick bracelets. One was there just for pictures. We had to directly ask each if they would trade.. only one would trade.
