Thanks for the info! I was thinking that might be the case but dates later in Oct were showing open so I got worried. I didn’t try clicking on one of those though to see what it would do.
Maybe the gunner position? If you let the computer choose the "automatic" setting (which it will within a minute or so without your having to do anything), then your DD would only have to hit one button to fire the guns. But -- one trick that works -- she could also keep her finger pressed on the button continually throughout the ride, and it would still work the same as if she hit it every time Hondo gave the command to "Fire!" I've done the ride both ways and it doesn't make a noticeable difference. (And keeping the button pressed down continually is a little easier for those with carpal tunnel issues.) And, I think with either engineer or gunner, it wouldn't matter too much what she does or doesn't do -- the computer can compensate. But engineer has to deal with more buttons and gunner only has to deal with one, for the most part.
Any position can run on an automatic computer mode as long as that position is not “checked in,” so just let the CM know that you don’t want to check her in.@theluckyrabbit - thanks for the info, that is exactly what I was looking for. I am really out of the loop on SWGE at this point, will remedy that asap

@tzeitel: you might want to watch a few ride through videos on YouTube to see what kind of verbal commands are on the audio for each position so that you can determine if it would be bothersome to your DD or if she would be able to tune it out. The ride is rather loud (I wear ear plugs when we ride), and Hondo gives commands for each position (which you can ignore if you want). The suggestion to let the CM know not to check your DD in to her position is a good one -- but just check to make sure that all the verbal commands on the audio won't be an issue.
The first order store will let you check your items for package pick up in the front of the park later in the day. We've done it several times.
I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much time in the lounge part. They are quick to get groups through, and then line up the next group. If you want to take a picture at the table, go straight there as soon as you get in the lounge because there’s usually a mini wait.The impending hurricane has significantly affected crowds here. Out of towners, which is the majority of our crowd, have left early or cancelled altogether. All wait times at all parks have been much, much lower than normal since mid-week last week. At this moment only six things at MK are over a 20 minute wait, which is unheard of past 10:00 even during our "slow" times, which are busy compared to ten years ago. Local passholder here. WDW just announced the parks are closing early tomorrow. I feel sorry for those whose plans were affected, but man, did I have a nice day at the parks yesterday.
Do you guys get to spend much time in the lounge on the Falcon before being called to the cockpit? Here it seems most are getting less than a minute, which is quite annoying. I want to spend a good five minutes exploring the lounge, it's so amazing to be in.
I might do a cool little project with it at home
I just saw that today and told DH. He’s still buying it tooThe beer tooth board is now $85...but I’m crazy and still bought it
There's no option to customize on the app. (Which I found out by opening the app and going through all the steps to mobile order, then cancelling before purchase. You can do that from anywhere. Something new for you to play with!)I just saw that today and told DH. He’s still buying it too
Other random question. When placing a mobile order at Ronto’s Roasters, is there any ability to customize the meal? Specifically, if I wanted to order a Ronto Roaster that is just the sausage and pita (no slaw or pork loin) for my child, would that be permitted or would I have to actually order in person?

LOL I went from rope drop until about 10:30, and it was amazing. Hot, but amazing! I saw full trams heading in, but it still doesn't look bad at all for wait times.
This was the least crowded Labor Day ever! Hot, yes. Humid, yes. But just not crowded at all! We were the only table in the S55 lounge for a long time -- lovely! Walked right up to a railing spot across from IASW for the first MSEP a little after 8 pm and stayed for fireworks -- crowds were minor to moderate. And the shortest line I've seen at the TT train station after fireworks in a long time.
Thanks! My initial though was that there’s no way in Endor my son would touch one of those things (because 5-year-olds), but we talked about the exciting “Luke Skywalker food” available for purchase, and he says he’s game. He asked to see a picture, and the first thing he said is, “I don’t want any stuff on mine. Just ketchup.”
Anyway, he will live without the ketchup, but the slaw is a hard no. I’m just going to get in the line while DH takes The Boy to get a blue milk and skip the mobile ordering altogether. I’m excited that plain wraps are an option at all though!
