I didn't know characters signed light sabers! Cool! So my sons can just bring in their own light sabers and characters will sign?
Yes! I did one of the build your own ones here, but you could bring one you already have. The characters have been fun, like the Chipwoks pretending it would hurt them, Luke commenting on how he might make a green one someday, and Several asking if I built it myself. I used a silver Sharpie for signing. image.jpg

Nice! I really like the idea of using silver, it shows up very nicely! Thanks!! We will definitely be doing this now

My son is allergic to peanut and sesame. They were able to customize any of the regular items offered. He could not have the granola or the pastries.

They had gluten and peanut free pastries he could have. They were pretty good.
I'm glad Disney is stepping up their efforts, even in counter service restaurants now you can see an actual allergy menu and they only call a coordinator if there are multiple allergies, and the food doesn't taste horrible

those dreaded benches I see...Theater of the Stars has actually been a welcome surprise, temperature wise. Not really that horrible inside, but the bleachers are so uncomfortable
 
I booked RH on the first day it was available, and through some system snafu I see that I have 2 reservations next Friday, June 5. I'm going to drop the 5:45 PM reservation for 3 people. If anyone would like it, please PM me and we can coordinate times.
 
Heads up. Apparently changes have taken place on the GMR.
SPOILER ALERT:



New preshow features a documentary hosted by Robert Osborne
New photo op outside the attraction
The montage at the end features scenes from Guardians of the Galaxy and...you guessed it..Force Awakens
 
C3PO spotted at the PMC family edition :)

I am probably in the minority, but I liked Spectromagic more than MSEP. BUT, the new Festival of Fantasy parade is very cool I think. :-) Let me know what you think of the FP viewing area for these.

My sinuses are causing havoc right now as well. I am hoping it clears up a bit when we get to a new environment...

Well I have a new environment as well now. The construction people at Poly started working at 7 am this morning right outside my room instead of the 9 am like I was told. Also I found out last night that the fridge wasn't working as well. So I went to the club level crew at around 230 and talked to them about both issues. They were very apologetic about it and when I asked to be moved (as in room) they said no problem which resort and when I told them Grand Floridian thinking they would come back with a new room at Poly, they called over to GF right away and got me into a main building deluxe view club level room for the rest of my stay. Disney is actually covering half of the difference in rate price, also so it's only costing me $500 more (after taking off the deposit's I paid) to move. I know sometimes WDW gets a bad rap and I'm sure in some cases it's warranted, but this was a very nice and classy thing to do on their part.

Hopefully next year I can start booking ADR's at the 180 day mark and not have to start booking at 75 days and stalking the May Cancelation boards, the SWW ADR's cancelations

Wait...there's a SWW ADR cancellation thread? Or are you just referring to people posting on this thread? I'm still looking for a Galactic breakfast on 6/6 for 4ppl.
 
What is the lanyard/pass like for the FTF package? We need a lanyard to carry around my son's GAS card (and our tickets, etc at Universal). Are the lanyards Disney provides for FtF good enough to use every day all week? do they have an open pouch where you can put stuff in them? Thanks!
 
Aagghhhh...of course they are. . They sold out when we were there last Saturday before we could get even 1!! We'll be there at park opening tomorrow morning and I'm hoping we can get 3.
