[OhioStateBuckeye]

Oh I'm interested!!

I guess the 5 blocks of tents are all the red carpet. This is going to be nuts. Today we're going to Jim Henson studios then I think my bf and I are going to stalk the event. They have metal detectors and police everywhere, it's nuts.

We did see Floyd may weather in his lamborghini last night. I'm not really a fan but that was a nice car.

So the big Dooney tote bag price tag was cut off in the pic. Anybody know what the damage is? Surely more than most everything else I own, but I can dream!!

sorry I didn't even see that I was cutting the price. I think it's about $260 but I'm not 100% sure

Jedi Mickey and Darth Goofy shirts and a pin are available on the Shop Disney Parks app right now. There is even the Darth Maul Donald knit hat.

Either Lucasfilms changed their minds or Disney is selling out their leftover stock?

I saw a whole Disney/SW section at Epcot's Mouse Gears. Nothing new so it might just be left over stock

Just an update: We went to Disney Springs AMC theatre to "check in" for the movie and after hours event being held on Dec 17th. We were given our tickets and told... "since there's no reserved seating for these Star Wars movie times, you'll want to line up early to get a seat. Management is suggesting 3 hours early." We just can't do that - boy, I hope they didn't overbook!!!

Thanks for the update. We were planning to get there around 12, so 3 hours beforehand is actually a lot shorter than we thought!

I'm sure they didn't overbook, they're just warning so people get the seats they want.

DH insisted I take the day off on the 17th so we would have plenty of time to wait in line since we couldn't get assigned seats for the first showing at 7pm in our local IMAX. However, DSIL has to work until 4pm and we all want to take one car so his plan has been thwarted. Thank goodness we have assigned seats at the 8:30a showing on Friday morning!

DS would love that Darth Donald hat, but he already has 3 or 4 knit hats like that, including R2D2.

I don't know whether to laugh, cry or re-evaluate my whole collection and the way my 4 yr old has been looking at/drooling over...

I'm sure he would like the "complete" collection. Did you watch the video ^^ yulilin posted?

Still in shock here months after the announcement that the House of Mouse decided to ax SWW at its peak of interest.

Feel very fortunate that I attended SWW with my then very young son back in 2000 when it all pretty much started, attended a couple years thereafter and then again this past year when it ultimately ended. And thanks again to yulilin3 for her wonderful SWW threads over the years. The Force is strong with her!

This is neither here nor there, but I was just at the Mall of America finishing my Christmas shopping and they had a sign up that they're going to be holding hourly showings of The Force Awakens starting at 7:00 on the 17th and going through the 18th. It also said the mall will be hosting some "special events" but didn't give any details. We only live about 15 minutes from there and I'd be tempted to go there to watch, but we just purchased tickets from the theatre in our town. At MOA they have "D-Box" 3-D seats...have you guys heard of these? They're motion seats so you feel like you're part of the movie. So like Star Tours on steriods, maybe? I might hit them up for my birthday in January because that seems kinda fun.

Also, thanks to a poster above, I picked up our pre-ordered tickets yesterday. Now just to decide when to line up for the show Friday!

That sounds like a great way to watch it! I am so jealous! I just saw that local bars around me (we have some "nerdy" bars that really get into fandoms and are a lot of fun) are having SW theme nights all weekend starting Thursday. SW costume contests, special themed drink menus only if you wear a SW costume or bring a Force Awakens movie stub. Sadly, I am packed this week so I am not sure if I will make any

I have been obsessed with that mint/teal color ever since I had a dress that color when I was the flower girl in my Aunt's wedding (and that whole Princess Jasmine thing). And now they throw out a SW bag WITH that color trim and accents?? Really guys?? I have to be strong - because I was thinking I really want a Dark Side Challenge dooney if they release one!

 

[AThrillingChase]

Also, a quick check of fandango has shown me that my local imax showings are sold out for the entire weekend. Even the early morning and incredibly late shows. I'm sensing some madness coming...

I'm sensing some madness coming...

So true! This is just so unprecedented.

My gut says these tickets are from cancelations and not just ones set aside for a sweepstakes, but I'm a huge skeptic of the event who is hoping to be proven wrong.

Anyway, I can't believe movie comes out this week!!!

Well, I am still sad about SWW being cancelled, but it does mean that Lewis and I can move up our wedding date by a month, so that's good. We preferred June over July anyway.

I entered the DBP contest but I am torn on wether I want to win. We won't be able to get to Disney Springs much before 6pm and I imagine it will be horrific with traffic and crowds. The thought of work on Friday is also already making me tired. That being said, if we do win we'll gladly attend and have a blast!

even if you don't get good seats you can still enjoy the after party, and you can always watch the movie during the weekend

I just looked at the shop parks app and there is a Donald stormtrooper stuffed animal!! Then I clicked on it and said in store purchase only! Grrrrr!

Then we ate lunch at the backlot express and got the new BB8 cup. Food was great and all the star wars stuff had us geeking out. !

NEW BB8 cup?!?!?! Can you share a pic and a price? I have a 9 year old BB 8 fanatic!!
