We went to the Disney store first thing this morning - got there at 9:30 for a 10 am opening. Walked away with a medium and small ewok (just too cute in both sizes!) a medium Chewie and a small Boba. Could have gotten anything but those were the ones that we really liked and we try not to just collect stuff!

Doesn't look like Ezra and Sabine will be meeting near ABC Commissary like it was rumored.

Well, that's disappointing. I bet that Olaf M&G will be the new Anna & Elsa or 7DMT DHS was a little bit immune from that sort of brawling, but I guess it won't be soon. Hopefully, it will have FP+ at tier 1, and it will alleviate some of the pressure on TSMM.

It's strange how this will all be set up. They are using the old AIE audition rooms (entrance through the gate on Commissary Lane) for Mickey and Minnie and then Olaf seems to be meeting in the old Radio Disney room right in between ABC Sound Studio and the Restrooms which would make it entering through Echo Lake, like the article says.
Auditions did go out for Sabine and Ezra so either there's more space in that building (there is IMHO if they open the old green rooms, entrance by the gate through the path that connects Echo Lake and Commissary lane, next to bathrooms), they meet at Launch Bay (they have space here too, just don't know if they have built any rooms) or Sabine and Ezra will be a part of a hard ticket event later in the year (most likely)
If that's the case it sucks because I know a lot of kids and adults would love to meet them without having to pay extra

I'm curious about this, and I think you all will have a much better sense than I do. Majority of people I know, including those who love Star Wars, have no idea who Sabine and Ezra are. My kids know, but wouldn't be interested in that M&G. How big do you think the audience / demand would be for a M&G with these characters year-round? It would make perfect sense to me for a Star Wars Weekend or other special event, but I wonder if a lot of reactions outside of that would be "who??".

I could be TOTALLY off -- just going from my little circle of friends/family...

you're right that they are not as recognizable as, let's say, Wicket, for example. But the fact that the new JT show is based on Rebels and they are trying to bring more people to watch the show it would make perfect Disney Sense if they had the characters as meet and greets.
I think about it this way: How much of an appeal will a hard ticket event (maybe a dinner and show sort of thing) with Sabine and Ezra as the characters available to meet? Wouldn't it make more sense to have the SW baddies, Vader, Maul, Aurra Sing, Boba Fett?
I think people will buy a hard ticket faster with the baddies than with Sabine and Ezra.
So have the Rebels out for meet and greets to hype up and promote the show, where everyone can see/meet them, maybe get interested if they don't know who they are.
Just my opinion, but who knows what will happen

That makes A LOT of sense!!

ETA: I could see them being at a special event that ALSO had other characters as the main draw. When I think about the SW races in DL last month, Sabine/Ezra lines stuck me as the shortest by far. In any case... Guess we'll see eventually what Disney ends up doing!

I usually do that, too, but totally fell down on the job this time!! LOL!! I'm glad I just happened to remember... I'm still not sure what jogged my memory, but it just hit me at some point!

 

[mil2297]

Thanks. I had forgotten. Got all of the minis except C3PO.

I order mine online. My kids gave me their list lol. They are so cute

Ahhhh why Disney why????? my kids were so exited when i told them about the remote possibility of Ezra and Sabine for M& G. They knew it was not confirm but still come on . Also no Rey meet and Greet with all the money this movie has made you would think maybe the main character will be at the park lol

Well, they do have a TFA M&G. It's Kylo, which it seems some people don't like very much, me included. Meeting Rey would be kick butt

Two questions!
1. Where is the best place to watch Symphony in the Stars? (Sooooo happy it was extended!!)
2. Does Kylo Ren have his lightsaber with him at the meet-and-greet?
TIA!

We did the dessert party tonight. It was awesome. Thanks for all of the tips yulilin3. You helped make our night great.

Can't wait for the new Star Wars land

1.- Anywhere on Hollywood Blvd and around the Echo Lake area across from 50s Prime Time. Anywhere else you'll not get the music
2.- He does have his lightsaber on his belt, so not "activated" but it's cool to look at

Awesome, I'm glad you had a great time.

Can't wait for the new Star Wars land

Me neither

Still no dance party scheduled after this Saturday for Center Stage, I wonder if this is part of the entertainment cuts.

I agree that Rebels is not as well known. TBH, it surprised me Disney didn't push it more. They had plenty of time before TFA became the hot topic. We love the show, and Would love a m&g, too. We'd probably pay for a hard ticket event, too, but I bet we are in the minority. I agree a villain event would certainly be the big draw. The other thing about Rebels though...it has strong female characters which seems like something Disney should want to grow. Which also brings up the comment about a Rey m&g. It would be fantastic to see! Hopefully they plan to build out more rooms in Launch Bay. While I am sure it is enjoyable to some degree for fans, it is pretty lackluster for the longer run...which is possibly until SWL opens.

I don't carr for the look of the TSumTsums, but anyone looking might want to check Target, too. They have a pretty big display though I'm not sure if it had SW or not...

That's disappointing

 

[lovethattink]

The only time Clone Wars or Rebels were ever pushed, was during SWW. I think no SWW is going to have a negative effect on that part of the franchise. Especially, since not everyone has Disney XD.

 

[LoKiHB]

Not to bring up a sore subject... but is anyone else feeling really bummed out in particular right now over no SWW? With all the news about entertainment cuts, the underwhelmingness (I think I just invented a word) of Launch Bay, and the way they have been pushing Disney World as "the place where Star Wars lives" is just depressing. I think for me personally, it's because we're getting toward the end of February, and back in 2013 (our first and only SWW), this was when we REALLY started kicking the planning in to high gear. We booked our trip late- only 5 months out, so we were right in the midst of all the planning and our youngest- now 4- had just come home. It was a happy time in our house, and planning for SWW made it even better. That trip still goes down as the most fun and "magical" trip we've ever had to Disney.

Sorry folks, just feeling overwhelmingly bummed about it... Ok, rant over.
