Day Four Part one
Its the day weve all been waiting for!
The original reason for our trip
It was going to be just 3 nights, then it transformed to 4 and then 5 and then somehow it wound up being 7 nights (how did that happen!) Its Star Wars Weekend!!! But dont take our word for it!

Storm troopers
How can you not love these guys!!
Once inside we were held back in front of the big hat.
The magical mysterious white rope with the power of holding back hords of tourists wanting to run to all the really cool attractions!!
Em gets creative with her shots.
Now our plan was to go straight to Toy Story Midway Mania and try it out. Unfortunately that was everyones plan. Once that rope came down, people were running!! We walked quickly but still got separated in the crowd. I held on to Em for dear life, hoping Jake and Chuck were together. At the top of the stairs near One Mans Dream, I scanned the crowd. They were closer to TSMM and still together! It was madness!!
Then, when we got to the ride, it was down!! There were CMs telling us that they were having trouble making Andy leave so we could go in. They couldnt tell us how long it would be. We got in line while Chuck got fastpasses just in case.
Im glad we went ahead and picked them up!!
It is a really bad bottleneck there and it was hard to go anywhere.
We waited in line for a bit, but people were getting upset and new people kept coming and getting upset so we decided to move on and hope for the best later.
between the heat, the bottle neck and the down attraction
it was starting to get ugly out there!
Right around the corner was Wickets Warehouse, home of all things Star Wars. It is nice to go in the morning when it is quiet. Well, quieter.
You wouldnt believe some of the stuff they had. A R2D2 DVD Projector and a remote control R2D2. Too cool!
And freakn expensive!!
Here are some of our favorites!
Tshirts
Big Figs
They also have backdrops where you can take your own pictures. Here is Em on the bridge of her Death Star.
Em and Chuck took some time to do lightsaber training. (lightsabers added by Jake.)
Did you know there are Star Wars novels? (Of course you did.)
Who Dont! Each volume of the Legacy of the Force series has been eagerly awaited
(and then fought over!) at our house. Troy Denning, the author of the last novel in the series was there signing books. We had no idea. We were all disappointed that our books were at home, but decided to at least go over and tell him how much we enjoyed the books. He was amazingly kind, and gave Jake signed book plates to put in his books! It was awesome to meet him.
It was a celebrity sighting for us!!
Although we did see Annette Ownes car parked in the PC parking lot
Wo, hooo! We are easily impressed!
One of our must dos for the days was the multimedia preview of the new Star Wars: The Clones Wars movie. It was premiering at DHS
MGM for all you Old School rollers out there!! I wasnt sure where the theater was (it was over where you can meet the Toy Story people) so we wandered until we found it.
On the way, Em found the umbrella. It was working!
We also saw some characters along the way.
Darth Vader was out too.
We found the theater and settle in to enjoy our sneak peek!
And the A/C!!
Thanks for joining us!! We have a good time writing it together, although we are way behind of updates!!
