I will be canceling a FtF Premium Package (the $69 version) for this Friday May 29th for 3. Post in this thread or PM me by 6:00p tomorrow if interested in coordinating, otherwise I'll release it.

No takers, will release shortly.

Finished our Magic Band decorations - mine is the Yoda epoxy sticker, DH has the Death Star/lightsaber pre-printed from MyFantasyBands.com ... And DS7 made the very custom concept of a Rebel crane picking up Empire emblems.

We got to meet Hero and Baymax yesterday just by chance. We got to the animation place and noticed their area with only a couple people in line just before 10. We went ahead and sat in the air conditioning, they came out at 10:30 and we were out of there just before 11. No autographs but my daughter was very excited.

Do they not sign then? Or have an autograph card?

Anyone have an extra and used Feel the Force Premium lanyard with credential they could send my way? I'll gladly pay for shipping or meet you in WDW to pick it up.

I already have the Deluxe Premium one. Just need a Premium one.

Neither of them sign. They gave us a photo pass card with their signatures on it when I met them in November, but didn't when I met them by myself in January.

Well this is boring. The thread is so slow tonight. We were supposed to fly out of Indy at 7:20pm EST. Flights been delayed until 11pm, but that's only to Dallas. They will supposedly get us out of Dallas to Austin at 8am CST, but I think DH just wants to get a rental car and drive the 3 hours home.

Pens, pins, and other sharp objects cannot be near Baymax so the two don't sign anything. CMs will ask guests to remove pins prior to meeting the duo.

Anyone need a Rebel Hangar for 6 on June 11th? 5:20

Safe travels to you! DD and the rest of the travel team were stuck for hours in Laredo two weeks ago before they made it to Dallas. They all thought they'd be delayed overnight in Dallas and magically, Disney corporate got them out on the last flight to Orlando! Hope everything works out for you, too!

Good luck - the weather in Dallas has been awful the last few hours but has finally blown through. Not sure what airline you're on but if it's anything other than Southwest I would get a rental car if you're up for the drive - AA will be so behind they/DFW will be a disaster tomorrow. SW magically manages to get it right most of the time...

Anyone who signed kids up for PMC - how early do they need to be there before the show? 30 mins like JTA?

Heads up, the Ezra lightsaber is $59.95 @ Darth’s Mall and $35.97 @ Target and Walmart. Thanks to the DISer who have us the heads up.

Yeah, I purchased am Ezra lightsaber, then we price checked it online and it went right back. There isn't a price listed on it, wonder if they're counting on parents buying a lot and not noticing how much it is.

We have a 6:35 Rebel Hangar on a Friday. Any chance we will see any characters during our meal? Worried it's too late now.

We had a 645 on last Sunday and saw jawas and Ezra and Sabine.

goofyinohio · May 25, 2015

Great thanks! We had one on Thursday and Friday so decided to drop the Thursday.

Thanks. It's AA. We are actually booked on the 8:15am flight tomorrow, but only because we are flying First Class on miles. But tomorrow morning is really far off, assuming there are no weather issues. Plus, DS has school tomorrow. Yah! They just announced that the plane has actually left Dallas with a fresh crew. Keeping fingers crossed.

Is there any secret to being pointed out as the 'Rebel Spy' on Star Tours or is it random?

A few years ago a friend and I rode ST about 5x straight (no wait!! woot)...anyway, the last time we rode it became one of my more memorable Disney moments. A 'ship' full of strangers ended up quoting the movies and having a blast together. To begin the ride the Rebel Spy was pinpointed AAAAAAND

It was none other than a younger dude totally posing for the picture, like he KNEW it was coming. I mean, how many people just soooo happen to be making a silly face while holding up their Li'l Wayne t-shirt while flashing some kind of goofy hand gesture?

or maybe that's how this guy gets ready to ride every attraction...

Pretty much two that I know of--don't have your glasses on before they tell you to, and stand out somehow. That's what that guy did, and it was easy to tell who would be the rebel spy on one of my flights, dude was dressed as a perfect Jack Sparrow.

The photopass card is standard. Once in a blue moon, they'll give someone a magical moment and give a pre - signed Baymax shaped card.

It is on sale at target for 27.99 right now. Younger dd already had a double lightsaber she made last trip. But I'm going to get it for her.
