It may not have been her, but I spent a good 20 minutes looking for it, and now I'm wondering if I just dreamed it.

No, you did not dream it. If you call me Jedi Master Fastpasser, I'll look it up and post the link.

Help me, Jedi Master FastPasser, you're my only hope!!!!!!

Somewhere in this thread, I believe Jedi Master yulilin3 had advice about when to line up for the march to the viewing area at the end of the Dessert Party if you weren't going to leave early to get a good spot. I doubt DS is going to want to miss being escorted by Stormtroopers, so do you mind repeating your suggestion?

Hi!!
Ok actually the one with the best advice on this is Jedi Master @FastPasser.

It's just as easy for me to repeat what I posted than to search for it.

At a certain point the event guides, could be me, will go around the room informing guests that they'll be leaving shortly for the viewing area. Get to the stairway area ASAP. That will insure that you'll be towards the front of the Stormtrooper escorted March to the viewing area and as you'll enter first as well, you'll be able to get a prime spot. I also suggest that you don't pick up your Chewbacca steins when you enter, stake out your spots first, then pick up your steins.

Great pics, those were fun times. As disappointed as your were when you heard that they cancelled SWW, so were many CMs. Many, me, volunteered to work them because they were fans and enjoyed it. No matter how good SWL is, unless they have a version of SWW, I don't think they'll be able to duplicate the energy and ambiance of SWW.

I totally agree. I really hope they figure a way to bring it back

My schedule for that week is not out yet, but that is one of my work days. It's also a standard assignment, so yes, there is a good chance.

NEAT! Are you willing to provide clues as to your identity?

When we did the party last week, we made our way over to the steps by the Kylo Ren and Chewie greeting spots approx. 15-ish minutes before fireworks time and waited for the Storm Troopers. They took us out only about 10 minutes (I think maybe less) before the fireworks started. I don't know if that was the norm or not, but a lot of people from the party lined up there and it seemed to take a while for the Storm Troopers to come.

I know where I was 40 years ago tonight! Opening night for Star Wars!!

Back when you had to go to the theater and buy a ticket and couldn't reserve a seat. First time I ever went so early and then stand in a long line outside to make sure we got a good seat.

We only made it to SWW a few years but they are some great memories.

That sounds about right. The Stormtroopers will usually leave by 10 minutes before SWaGS. CMs start alerting guests about 20 minutes before the show, but some people knowing the routine get to the stairs before being alerted.

For those wanting to be at the very front of the Stormtrooper march, keep an eye on the area in front of the stairs and if people are beginning to congregate, join them.

Are any of the spots in the viewing area really that bad? I though the entire point of the reserved viewing area was to guarantee a good view without having to stake out a spot early on. We would like to relax and enjoy the dessert party.

It's not that I'm worried about a "bad" spot. It's just that DS is kid-sized, I'm fairly tall, and I'd like to get us positioned so he can see and I'm not blocking anyone.
