About Vader visa meet
The room is not ready and that's why they had people go in with Vader or Chewie. They have no clue when it's going to be ready. When it is it'll only be Vader. The room is slightly off to the side right before the merchandise

Just saw first order stormtroopers patrolling in the courtyard. They do not stop for pictures or autographs

I got lucky with pictures.

 

[yulilin3]

Yeah I got them like that too, also took a little video. Will post tomorrow
The little 9 minute movie with the creative team is pretty good, gets you in the sw mood for sure. You enter and exit the same way as the Mushu movie used to.

Well DUH... they're on patrol protecting us from rebel scum!

They kept saying "don't worry, your safe, we're here protect you"

 

[yulilin3]

They closed the Vader line at 7:30

The wait for Vader said 60 minutes, it was 30...waiting for the last showing of Path of a Jedi and then headed home. Will have a complete report on my blog tomorrow

Almost anything. The better your item the better you will get back. I saw a lady give them a park map so they gave her a crumpled napkin. My DS had some good trades and loved it.

We've met Vader and Chewie twice before (at SWW) and had them sign - is it 'worth' waiting in line to meet them at LB? The pictures I've seen the lighting doesn't seem great...

They make noises in this meet, which is kind of cool. Chewie was more fun during SWW, but Vader talks at you here (not like Mickey, who talks to you). No autographs for either of them. I do like the settings more than SWW. If you find a time with short waits, then I would go for it. And the lighting was good on my photopass photos

Ooooooo. I am beyond excited now. If the kiddo could fulfill his wish of trading with Jawas after all...I hope they don't yank that little side show by the time we go!

Quick question. Do you guys think that the 19th would be a horrible time to try for EMH Jedi Training signup and meet and greets (if we miss out on Vader, Jawas and Chewie when we are at DHS anyway earlier in the week) seeing as the movie will have come out?

EMH for Jedi Training sign-ups is the best way to do it as the first hour is limited to onsite guests. You'll still need to get there well before the park opens to be able to have a good choice of sessions.

Hopefully the Vader Visa meet and greet will be open by then. Jawas roam so you'll just need to approach one with the item you'd like to trade. Just make sure it's an item that the Jawa can safely trade with other guests. If you trade a pin, it needs the protective pin back so that the Jawa doesn't get injured when they rummage through their bags.

I wished you had periscoped THAT!

So back home and finally processing this amazing day. I'm still on a Star Wars high.

Couple things- dude I would have SO scoped that if I could have! Haha... They were in super stealth mode and gone before you could even realize who they were.

A saw a few people get a little irate when the Stormtroopers wouldn't say pose and mingle. Honestly it ticked me off. Like, what do you expect? They are in character people. I thought they were awesome. They would stop and talk to each other about the crowd too. It was great. Could have watched them all day.

Vader was amazing and talked a lot. He was kinda intimidating - he threatened me saying I better not be helping a rebel spy- it was so cool. The cast members were amazing. Seriously they were so into it and seemed genuinely thrilled to be working there and a part of it. Most of them that I talked to were real fans.

The cupcake was amazing. The sipper cup is adorable. The TIE fighter is cool but overpriced IMO. The store called Cargo Bay has such cool stuff. The light saber umbrella was one of my favorites. They have Kylo Ren's saber with effects and everything for $200. I wanted it so bad. The new Jedi Training was fun and the Inquisitor is so cool. Her voice is the best part. Every line she gives sounds iconic. Here's a quick blurb if you haven't heard her:

I am going to go thru all my pictures and geek out again over everything.

I think my son and I will have a complete blast. He's more familiar with the cartoons than the movies. i was digging through my old VHS tapes and found my copy of A New Hope. And, get this, a recording of the Star Wars Holiday special. Because I wouldn't want that gem lost to the ages, I decided to dub it to a DVD. Wowser. It's almost worth it to see all those old commercials. I thought it stank back in 1978 and I loved Star Wars. The music is good, at least. Well, except for that nearly-incoherent song performed by Diahann Carroll.

How much is the Tie Fighter popcorn bucket - it has been declared a "must have" by DH and DD (truthfully I knew that was going to happen but showed it to them online anyway) They're already on a high - we went to the LEGO store today and they got the brand new DR WHO LEGO set! They saw it - I saw the writing on the wall and whipped out the credit card - it was all downhill from there....

Had one offer to trade what looked like a happy meal toy for an iPhone.

$25 for the TIE fighter. $12 for Solo in Carbonite one. How much for the DW Lego set?! I can all ready tell you I will want it haha.

Darn you!!!! I have already spent way too much on Legos this year. There's the Wall-E one, Scooby Doo, Star Wars, and xmas stuff. Now I've got to get Dr. Who too. Maybe I'll have Grandma get it for him. She loves Dr Who.
