D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

REI is having a big sale right now.

They are a good company to get your minimalist camping gear. So like those small collapsible chairs for waiting in line.

We also have a camping mattress that folds up incredibly small. It's somewhat like a pool raft when blown up. We took that for waiting overnight for the live action panel last time and it was very comfortable. We didn't try to sleep on it, but we had three people sit on it and it was much nicer than sitting on the cold floor.

I was just doing that I realized my sleeping pad is not self-inflating There is no way that I can air it up with lung power. So, self-inflating with my dividend, here we come. I'm getting a pillow too. We already have little chairs. Those things are so amazing.

u know with starwars land being soooo big, you just have to wonder about any secret areas it will have

like a club 33 rendezvous area?

any upstairs rooms / suites?

has anyone heard any rumors about this?

I imagine the planners have extra spaces to do these type of upscale events.

excited!

I seriously wonder how easy it will be to get into the whole Star Wars vibe with people crying everywhere. There's no crying in Star Wars! Luke didn't cry when his adoptive parents were killed. Leia didn't cry when her whole planet was killed. It will be a strange thing to see...

But he did cry when his Dad said Hi

That’s not true. That’s impossible!!

 

[kpd6901]

Search your feelings. You know it to be true!

True, but Luke did cry when he found out Vader was his father. And it seems like Leia cried when Han had to comfort her after she found out the same info. So, I guess in Star Wars you cry for gaining a parent, not losing one.

Let's not forget the power converters he never got from Tosche Station

I remember all of us basement dwellers cautiously (and impatiently) standing up and hovering around 7:30 or so, chatting "When are they gonna bring us up? Gotta be soon. What's happening outside? People on Twitter are saying this! We better be going in before outside folks."

Love anxious D23 line thoughts.

Good times. You’re constantly worried you’re in the wrong line, you’ve gotten there too early or too late, or someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing is going to bring people inside in the wrong order.

Why does that not sound like fun to me...

I have a res for 6/6 at 5pm. I am about 20 minutes away from the park. I plan and leaving as soon as the kids get out of class, about 245pm. I am crossing my fingers that would be enough time.

That was more of the annoying teenager whine. Now THAT is something that should NOT be allowed at SWGE. "I'm sorry, no whining is allowed. We don't serve their kind here. Move along."

He really did whine. But that didn’t stop me from having the hugest crush on him when I was little. Still, I definitely support the ban on whining in SWGE.

I'm having flashbacks to the Power of the Princess panel and getting there at 5am and absolutely not trusting that they were going to let us know when they were going to let us into the line for that panel separately so checking in with them every hour...not fun.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

If you don't have a bad line experience, were you even really at D23?

 

[ashley0139]

Absolutely not. It's an essential part of the bonding experience. I'm just thankful I wasn't part of the animation panel fiasco.

You just brought it ALL back to me! And, when we finally got in and got seats, some guy who was dressed as a fake D23 CM (copied an outfit from the previous Expo) came up with a clipboard and kicked us out of our seats. Then we noticed that he took our seats for himself and his little girl. When we asked a real D23 CM to check on this, she asked him for credentials, which he could not provide. So she sent him back to his "other" seats (he already had seats!) which were in the section closer to the stage -- go figure, why would he want our seats which were further back?? By the time all this was finished, our original seats were gone and there were no other seats in that section. So the very nice CM snuck us into the media section. Oh, the drama!

Did anyone get a definitive answer on holding more than one reservation? I have two separate reservations both tied to hotel stays. When I talked to a hotel cast member, they seemed to think that we would be okay to keep both reservations, but I also heard conflicting information on here. Does anyone know for sure?

 

[Stanley D]

i have SWGE reservations for June 2nd 8:00 to 12:00. We are staying June 1st -5th. With the reservation system are the crowds still going to be crazy? I was thinking they wouldn’t be as bad because of reservation system. Thoughts?

 

[Skyegirl1999]

I mean, no one knows. DL crowds are unpredictable as a rule, and SW:GE throws a whole new level of nonsense and ??? in.

Since DL closes early that day, theoretically you’d have fewer day-trippers than normal. If people are paying attention.

 

[tarheelalum]

Armageddon like crowds.
