Jedi Training - what time in the morning should you go and where do you go to sign up your child? does the child have to be there when signing him/her up? We will be there the last SW weekend. Thanks for your help!

Last year, I think they were 8 or 9 each, and they were the same price at Celebration 6. I can't imagine they are too much higher this year. Maybe our on the ground sources can get us an answer.

Bad news character wise, Luke Leia, C3P0 ands R2D2 are meeting outside the tent.... wad told that they won't meet inside

Eek! Are they going solo or are there one/two out at a time? Are the Disney ones still inside...? I'm SO confused as to the order we are going to do this in still... >_<

They were $8 last year so I'll assume they're the same this year.

Don't panic yet. Let's get some more reports from tomorrow and Sunday. The first day is always "tough" as they get everything in order.

I am UBER impressed at the amount of characters that Geeky Girl saw in 4 hours!! (Especially since they were "long" line characters) WTG!!

Does anybody know how the crowds compare as the event goes on? We will be at WDW from the Sunday of the second weekend to the Friday of the third weekend. Most of our group is interested in the non SW attractions, but we do have a couple who will want to see the spectacle.

We were there four years ago on the third weekend, and I just wandered over to the parade route about 20 minutes before it started and didn't have to fight crowds. That wasn't on a Friday though.

Thoughts/observations?

I am curious to get an update on Thermal Detonators, especially by Sunday evening. I am hoping to score a couple for myself and some friends next Friday.

Today is always the busiest day, because its the first.

Otherwise, it really depends on who the celebs are for the weekend, how the weather has been (rain etc).

I hope those plushes are still there by the time I arrive on the last weekend : (

My kids would LOVE them. Heck. I want them too. God I love Star Wars!!!!
