Something just feels weird about a huge SW fan like myself doing SWW and staying at GF at the same time. The two styles seems to clash with each other

Oh I don't know about that! ;)

In '09 my daughter and I were at Grand Floridian waiting for our 1900 Park Fare adr. We were hanging out with a desk CM in the Lobby and she said "quick turn around"... George Lucas was walking through the lobby!

This is another one of those "don't kill the messenger"

I've been told by inside sources (you guys know I will not divulge them so you can take it as rumor until confirmed) that this will be the last year for Disney/SW characters to meet and greet. They might stay for the Jedi Mickey dinner next year but this will be the last year for Jedi Mickey, Minnie Organa, Stormtrooper Donald, Darth Goofy and Chipwoks to meet and greet guests outside the dinner.
Apparently Lucas doesn't want to cross breed the brands.
I guess at this point it's a wait and see until next year. I hope it's not true or they change their minds because it's a great way to use both brands but after the cancelling of Hyperspace Hoopla, the lack of Disney/Star Wars characters in the finale show it seems like the next step to take.

Is Lucas still involved or would it actually be Disney making that decision? I thought he sold it all to Disney? Did he retain some sort of usage rights or something?
 
Love it! Somewhere I have a photo when of George Lucas was at the old muppet show in HS (where little mermaid is now). My parents and little brother sat next to him and his family and talked pre-show. My sister and I were sitting at the end of the row dying when we figured out my dad had now idea who he was talking to. (This is the man who indoctrinated us into all things Star Wars.)

When the show was over we were trying to explain what happened to my dad he finally got it and took a picture. He said GL was very nice. :worship:
 
I hope everyone is having fun this weekend. :D I am so ready for next weekend day to get here. I am hoping to get a Ray Park autograph Does anyone have some input on what would be a good time to be in line? I will be flying in after pulling a 12 hour work shift and by time we get down there i will have been awake for 24 hours so I'm needin a little sleep, but want to try if I can to get in line.
 
A big thank you for those who helped me to time this. I watched Illuminations at 9 and literally camped (camping chair) on my balcony until it started so I would be sure not to miss it this time.

Ok, just got back downstairs and uploaded it. It's not perfect. I played with different zoom in and zoom outs, and at one point, my phone blew over (sorry!) but at least you know it's legit. I wish you could see the colors from here with your eyeballs! I saw SOTS at the parks and I'll see it again in person tomorrow, but there is something really neat about the colors from a distance. I wish you could join me! I thought about adding the SOTS music to my video, but then again, it's so beautiful and breezy with the night sounds, so I didn't. Maybe I'll make another or feel free to add your own. This has to be one of my favorite things about moving here (besides the stunning sunrises - also overlooking the same horizon view) and being so close to the parks, that we can be there in 20 min.

Anyway, please enjoy. I recommend Theater mode in the Youtube viewing.

In the first post, yulilin states to be in line by 4:00a for Ray Park.
 
I plan to leave the line waiting to see people to those who have more patience then I do. I will be very happy seeing characters at the breakfast and dinner reservations. I'm there to just take everything in and enjoy the day. Oh and get a boba fett stein and a SW ball cap.
 
Thanks to the kindness of Disers, I was poking around the dining site for a Galaxtic Breakfast reservation. Got nothing, then tried once more and BAM! We got breakfast at 8:20am June 7!! Early enough for us to eat and make it back to Kidani in time to catch the ME back to the airport (hopefully). If not we will take a cab!

I'm still keeping my eye out for the 6th, because it would be easier with flights and all, but man am I excited and grateful right now!

That's pretty much how I found my Galactic breakfast spot for this Sunday, just looked and kept looking.
