I think they are "belts" for your checked luggage to ID as ABD.

On past adventures we received yellow luggage handle wraps to use.

I'd be afraid they would be stolen pretty quick! They are pretty sweet!

Did anyone see the news today about the restoration of Walt's office at the animation studios?

Fingers crossed we get to take a look!

That's super cool! Can't wait! Will see everyone tomorrow! We arrive early morning and are going to see about a tour or something during the day... everyone travel safe!

Checked into the Lowes this morning.

Star Wars premier has Hollywood Blvd closed for three blocks.

There is a tent/canopy covering three continuous blocks in the middle of the street.

Local rumor is the film will premier in multiple theaters Monday night, El Capitan, TLC and Dolby.

Major buzz all around.

Tons of activity, wardrobe people and forklifts that have Star Wars labels on them. Generators, lighting, red carpet and security.

Heard that Dean is one of our guides, will meet them tomorrow!

Tomorrow's scheduled is the Farmer's Market, Bob's Doughnuts and shopping the Grove with a tour of Los Angles before our welcome dinner.

I hope you guys have an awesome time!!!!

I can confirm that Dean will be one of your guides and Summer Rose will be the other. You are in the best of hands.

Kevin and I heard some of the surprises that ABD has in store for this group and I am SUPER jealous.

Have a donut for me Frank....

In the airport!! Lightsabers are nerd rallying points, people keep coming out of the woodwork to comment on it.

Welcome dinner last night, everyone arrived safely to LA and we are ready for our adventure.

Good crew of adventurers and Dean and Summer Rose are our guides and seem great!

Last night's theme was "Dinner and a Movie", we were all hoping for SWTFA but got The Good Dinosaur at El Capitan. Fun movie but not enough light sabers .

Big day today!

Real life does suck. Wish Dean and Summer Rose could have fastpassed us through Christmas

Brian and I are already thinking of October 2017 (if they do one then). We've never been to DL for Halloween. Happy New Year! P.S., if you guys are ever in Austin we should hang out and do Disney type stuff!
