I'm so JEALOUS!

I wish I could pack sooner. I only have so much maternity clothes though. I will be washing clothes Monday and Tuesday for sure. Plus since we aren't bringing our kids, I also have to get the house ready for one of my inlaws to stay with them for the days we are gone. Hopefully they aren't expecting a spotless house, cuz with 3 kids under the age of 7 and being preggo I think I'll be lucky to have it looking decent. Oh well. I am gonna look at the bright side that DH and I will actually get some alone time for once. This is a 2nd honeymoon for us and also a babymoon, so YAY!

Oh my, with all those little ones it sounds like you need/deserve a little vaca! lol It is nice that you will get some "you" time before the new one gets here.

I definitely am looking forward to it. Nervous about leaving them for the first time for more than a day, but I know dh and I could use some us time.

Has anyone added an extra day to their package? If so how much did it cost?

 

[dahoov2]

So someone said here Jason Isaacs is attending. I AM SOOOO excited! He's my second favorite from the films behind Alan Rickman! Both are class act actors. I am hoping I get him. I noticed David Bradley wasn't mentioned as being there in the latest news reports but I hope that was just an oversite. I love him too and he's in my top 5 favorites (though I love almost everyone in the films). No official reports mention katie Leung. She is saying though she'll be there. Also added now is David Yates.

This is shaping up to be one cool event. Now we have the E! guys there so I am guessing some of us will be interviewed!

Very exciting.

He won't be able to attend because he started a new project in mid october.

I am happy that you are getting some time away. I keep thinking my husband and I just need a date night. A whole vacation would triple the excitement that I feel right now.

I added a day to my Premiere package. sorry, I cannot remember the cost difference but I thought it was very reasonable. The difference will probably depend mostly on your hotel choice and the number in your party. 1 day added to your ticket cost seems minimal.

Adding 1 day to ticket was less than $6/person. I paid under $16 to add a 4th day to 3 tickets. I did not add a night, just figured I needed something to do until our 7:15PM flight out on Monday.

Thanks for the update! I am so ready to go. I start the first part of my trip tomorrow (driving to the town the airport is in, doing some shopping along the way), then flying to Orlando Thursday morning. Can't believe the trip is finally here!

Getting sooooooo confused! The Saturday Gala Event will start at 8.30..when the park is still open....People can partecipate to it? No? Yes? Only the ones with the Premiere package? Or no? I dont understand!

Awesome! I am definitely getting excited. We start our first part of our trip tomorrow too. Gonna go to the town we fly out of and spend a little bit of time doing a little Christmas shopping possibly.

I gotta get the last few things packed and hope I don't forget anything. There is so much to do and only today to do it. It seems like it is still so far away, but I really do not have anymore time to procrastinate.

 

[wdhinn89]

Are all of the above for Saturday's Gala only or will some be there Friday for autograph sessions?

The park closes at 7pm.

AHAHAH, ok, sorry...my fault!!! I dont know why I was sure at 9pm!!!! So, we wont be in?

 

[kimbas238]

I was also confused by the WB sweepstakes that promised the entrance at the Saurtday and Sunday Night Gala for the winners (5 winners I guess)....Not so many people....Does anybody have more info about it?

 

[fairyprincess88]

I'm pretty sure the Saturday Gala is a private event for media and invited guests. The contest for the WB is special in that it allows the winners entrance into the Saturday Gala as well as the public Gala on Sunday.

 

[HPMonkey4]

Ya those who bought premiere tickets get the Sunday night gala, but those winners get also Saturday night tickets to the red carpet event. Sad but true that those who win get more while those who pay get the expected base amount. I wish they'd had a drawing for those who bought premiere tickets that would allow like 5-10 to get tickets to the Saturday night gala too. Would've felt more fair. Oh well. At least premiere ticket holders get the Sunday gala and autographs.

Who knows!!!! Maybe there will be some surprise waiting for us!!!! Its so confusing that, at this point, I expect anything!
