I'm fourth back at a tapstyle on the left and it's getting pretty crowded. We're splitting up and making the Chewie run and sign ups for JTA. Just to make sure- strollers are OK in Chewie line?

MDE has the character sets, they update them thruoughout the day. I'll try and make a list. But you guys at home and in the parks can see their first sets now
Doc McStuffins is on the schedule must meet her. Watch her show every day, multiple times

@momofallsons I'll go weekend IV and see how the whole signing up for VttM goes and let you know how fast it fills up.

I will be there weekend IV as well and let you know as well but @yulilin3 is who you can really count on! She's a pro! I'm probably going to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off! I think after the first hour after opening I will calm down if I haven't passed out already. Trying not to stress, I'm sure it's all going to work out. I wish there were 3 of us too!

Splitting worked amazingly well. DH signed up DS for 10:35 set ( I think he was 3rd person in line) and I was 7 people back for Chewie. We met them and were done by 8:15. DH is in line for Darth Maul and we're buying a magic band (jedi Donald) for DS.

That's where the priority list comes into play. You can't do everything in one day, heck you even can't do everything in two. So don't sweat it. What's more important and plan from there.


Splitting up is a good plan. You could be first in line with kids to sign them up for Vttm and then go to whoever is holding spots for JTA. That could work. The line to sign up for JTA goes from 0 to 60 minute wait in about 5 minutes of park opening. I'm not exaggerating.

Yes, I definitely need to make a priority list! So far, the planning's been all me since my kids don't have patience for things that aren't happening in the next week. LOL! We're getting closer now, so I can probably get some opinions on what they'd choose first, and get that list made.

I'm not surprised about the wait time for JTA jumping that fast, but it is crazy what a difference 5 minutes can make!!

Someone got one at Watto's Grotto this morning. I've seen a few walking around back here

Could someone tell me the website where you've been ordering SW shirts? I know someone suggested Woot awhile back, but saw another that you all seem to like as well

We got ours from Tee Public

The guy at the table in front of me in the area had a selfie stick in my way so not isolated to outside the area. I knew from last year to get a table as far back as possible because of the fireworks and I'm a hair shy of 6ft so didn't have any viewing issues it was just annoying and I wanted to smack it out of his hand.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I would write guest services and just give your honest feedback. I think it is fair to give them all perspectives.

They need to be banned from the parks not just the rides
