CONTINUED...


He got to meet the Bounty Hunters next. What we did in order to get through the characters easily was having me wait in the back of the line while Tim was closer to the front of the line to meet the next character. By the time Tim would meet me in line, I would be in the middle of the line and he would be able to meet up with the next character. They have the characters come out in like some sort of rotation, so this strategy worked out well for him.

Here was Tim's girl walking around again, lol.

and his guy crush

Great update Lynn! I feel sooooo guilty because when I went to the world in 08' with my grandparents and brother we specifically went because of star wars weekends. Well, I didn't know about the disboards and I didn't plan the trip except to help pick out a restaurant or two and the hotel. When we got there it started raining so we didn't see the parade or meet any characters....I feel so bad for my brother because he wanted to meet the characters really badly and he didn't get to meet any of them I have vowed to bring him back in two-ish years for star wars weekends and let him do everything!

Awesome pictures Lynn! Tim looks like he was loving everything. I never knew they piped in street sounds in that area of the park! I'll have to listen for it next trip.

Tim has the coolest Star Wars pins!!!

Okay, getting to meet Stormtrooper Donald had to be an absolute high point for Tim! You can just see him brimming with excitement in the picture! That excitement is evident in his picture with his "guy crush" , Boba Fett, as well!

What a great morning so far! Well, except for the Busybody in the line.

 

[PopArtGal]

Great update!

Seems fun, even though I never watched the movies.

 

[Cat0727]

great update! I love all the Star Wars pics. I've never seen that part of Disney before, so it was neat to see.

Okay, seriously Lynn, where are all the people? That's awesome the crowds were so low!

Storm Trooper Donald is the cutest thing ever. So weird to see him without his hat though!

 

[manntra]

Looks like a fun morning so far Except for the bus breaking down..I laughed that you laughed
SWW looks like it could be a lot of fun even if you aren't a fan....I remember pictures from Tammy's TR last year and some of them kind of freaked me out
Stormtrooper Donald looked super white and fluffy!!
Cool that you were able to hear the sounds on the Streets of America...poor Tim did he miss his Power Rangers?
Awesome TT pictures...didn't you love it at night?!! Such a fun ride

Wow you guys are having great luck with SWW! I'm shocked at how uncrowded it is. I want to go the same week you did when we go next year but we'll see how that works out.

Tim was probably sooo excited to get that picture with the Donald Storm Trooper!

Don't you love when you hear/see stupid people in Disney? Just ignoring her probably made her more pissed off, therefore you win!

 

[mermaid764]

Great update!

Your hubby looks so happy to be at SWW and it looks like an awesome experience for both of you.

I love your blue dress

 

[Shannon84]

Those Star Wars characters have the coolest costumes and really are pretty awesome...even though I do not know who any of them are at all So I am pretty sure I would have mistakened that regular guy as a character!!

 

[glennbo123]

Great update Lynn!

Now, what was cool about the streets being empty was the noises. I was able to hear the sounds on the streets. I never knew they existed. You can hear the subway, cars, and people talking. It was really cool.

How cool! I've never heard that.

While we were waiting in line, we saw the cutest little kids walk by in costumes..

I love the one with the huge helmet!

We saw this girl walking around. She was so pretty. I do not know here name, sorry. lol.

She's Zam Wessell. I had to look up her name for my TR, lol. And, oh yeah, she was pretty.

 

[arbolita]

Tim and Mr. Arb would be great friends - he also has a mancrush on Boba Fett.

And you have the cutest dresses - where do you get them? I've been searching for lightweight dresses to wear in Florida this year, and I haven't had much luck.

 

[klacey1]

Great update!! That's cool that you guys got to experience all the SWW stuff without having to wait on crazy lines, etc. Love the line method for waiting for characters!
Haha that little girl on the bus sounds cute-- a bit persistent, though, lol.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Great pictures with the characters Tim. I would love to bring my DS9 to Star Wars weekend - he loves Star Wars and bought some Star Wars pins when we were there in April.

 

[Cheryl726]

Looks like you did great for SWW, great pics! We went Memorial Day weekend and did SWW on the Sat, unfortunately we didn't get any pics with the characters, the lines were very long. My DS8 did get one with the Guard though--it was a very short line so we got in but the CM told us he was done so my DS started crying, the CM felt really bad and let us go for a quick pic! I couldn't thank her enough!

BTW I like the sundress you're wearing, cute!

Lynn...great update!! I just love DHS and while I have never been a fan of Star Wars before, my friends and certain events on my last trip made me like it so much more!! I love seeing all the fun characters you guys saw and everything. I think now I'm definitely goign to go watch the movies again!

The lady who was complaining about you "cutting" sounds hilarious. Some people are so oblivious, she probably had no idea about the CM directing the line. Oh well. At one point on my last trip, this guy accidentally cut someone and the guy who got cut FLIPPED out, like legit yelling and stuff. I don't see how people can get so mad in Disney World!! I just mind my own business like you...no point getting worked up! Some people!

 

[Zuzu03]

Great update on SWW! It's not my thing at all, but DH loved the pics and was jealous! We've only been once on SWW, just DD and I and we didn't have a clue that it was even going on - shows how plugged in I am to stuff! I was like, Emma, why are all these weird characters out, who are they???

Just a bit OT, but I have to ask - was it you who had problems with someone hacking in to your itunes? The exact same thing just happened to me and it was a nightmare! I was away this weekend not around my laptop but just happened to check my email on my SIL's computer. I had 7 receipts for itunes purchases from paypal for $271! I flipped out because it was attached to my checking account! Well, after many, many hysterical phone calls, it's sorted out, but what a stressful 48 hours it's been. Anyway, sorry to hijack a bit, but I thought it was you who had had the same problem. Back to Star Wars fun!!!!

 

[BippityBoo]

Geat update, Lynn! I can't believe the bus broke down Poor Tim! Happy it got up and running soon, though. All of the pictures of Tim and the SW characters are great. Especially love the last one! Seems like everyone gets really into it. I am sure my DH would love it!

 

[Mycuteboyz3]

Great update as always. My 15 year old was loving all of the Star Wars pics. Had to promise to take him during SWW in the next couple of years. I have to agree with pp, your dress is absolutely adorable.

 

[Bookstamper]

Hi Lynn! I just found your TR, really enjoying it so far - great SWW update! We were there around the same time and I would have been so paniced if the bus had broken down on the way! Really looking forward to reading more!
