We just got into launch bay. Very excited!

Inside the magic posted on Facebook that they met Chewie for the Visa Meet and Greet. I thought it was only going to be Vader? I wonder how that's going to work out... My kids would much rather see Chewie than Vader.

kennythepirate posted a picture of his M&G with Vader.

They put Vader in front of a black background. The picture is lousy. You barely see him.

Heading home. I'll try to start a TR tonight. We really enjoyed Launch Bay. It's a great attraction. But it isn't SWW. The CM were outstanding. The pictures in queue outside are amazing. The props are cool. The photo-ops are nice. There are plenty of video game stations. The merchandise is great.

Ok so update- Visa one is Vader- I was told no Chewie option but you never know which CM has most current info. With vader you just ask at entrance and are put in diff line straight to front. They didn't make it obvious what the deal was you had to know to ask. The merch! Guys it's so cool. I have a ton of pics to post on my site when I get home but until then you can check my IG for some pics- they have the BB-8 sipper and the TIE fighter popcorn that everyone wanted from DL! Pics on my insta. Darth was an amazing M&G- I had a pin on from dark side so he basically signed me up. I periscoped it if you wanna watch replay to hear him. He was awesome!!!

@kennythepirate should have followed us to the light side

We bumped into him in queue.

that's where they did the Minnie meet and greet, the one that offered fp...they might be thinking of a fp option for the future

All the new stuff looks amazing. My phone has been going crazy with all the different Twitter posts.
It has made me realize there is no way we can skip JTA later this month. I hadn't really planned on it but the new stuff looks great and DGD would shoot me if we don't try to sign her up.
I wonder how crazy it will be on 12/21? Thankfully we are at Boardwalk so getting there early won't be a huge hassle, outside of the hour.
Maybe we should shift schedules and try to do JTA on the morning of 12/18 instead. Should be slightly less crowded that day, I'd guess

wait times update
Launch Bay 20 minutes
Vader 10 minutes

the 18th being the official release of the movie I bet there will be more SW fans in the park that day, since all of us will have seen the movie on the 17th

How easy will it be to enter the Launch Bay if you don't want to do the character meet & greets? Can you see the characters without waiting in line to meet them? I just want to soak it all in, but don't really want to meet the characters - just see them.

Vader and Chewie can only be seen if you make the line, they are in enclosed areas. I saw Jawas walking around so those will be pretty easy to see, I didn't see them trading though.
Launch Bay itself should be a wait of no more than 30 minutes fin the morning and I'm sure it'll go down through out the day

off topic but CLub Disney looks like so much fun and a great way to get out of the sun/rain

Oh, totally blanked about the movie. Maybe all the crazy fans will have been there late the night before for the after hours party and we'll get a good window to sign up that morning.
What I think we'll do is head over on the morning of the 18th and see what it looks like.
If things are CRAZY we'll turn right around and go on to AK as planned and try again on the 21st.

sounds like a good plan, I'm still hopeful on fireworks on the night of the 18th.

Jawas traded.
