Just got back home...Tim Rose meet was extremely sloooowwwww...the Cm in line were comparing it to Ashley's line. They are inforcing the 1 autograph per person thing. Here is a picture of me and him and a couple of others from the motorcade

In line waiting for the Warwick show (An Ewok's Tale). We walked by at around 4:10 and saw the line (show starts at 5). It just started moving to fill the theater. In the time it took me to grab corn dogs and a bathroom break it was out to the main path.

Someone from the SWW group on fb said that Sam Witwer took 55 walk ups at the end of his 4:30pm session.

Had a great first day at SWW today! We're doing all 3 days this year since we felt so rushed the past few. Got to the park about 7:45AM. Went straight in and signed up for Jedi Academy at 1:30. There was hardly anyone in the park before 10! Between 8:00 and 10:00 we had pics with Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Commander Cody, Stormtroopers, and Anakin... Plus rode Star Tours 3 times and shopped Darths Mall! We couldn't believe we covered our days "main goals" with 3 little ones under 6 in 2 hours!

Sadly it did start to drizzle about 1:30 and the kids Jedi Academy got cancelled half way through we're gonna try again tomorrow, especially since the only "must do's" on the kiddos list is the motorcade and Ahsoka.

Highlight of the day was when Anakin talked to my 6 year old sister (who was in full Aksoka costume) like she was actually Ahsoka... Calling her Snips and what not. So cute and made her whole life I'm pretty sure

Earlier I posted we got in line around 4:10 for the 5 pm Warwick show. We got seats on the end of the 5th row back, and then my BF got chosen to participate in the show! They were looking for a "sexy" man and Warwick came over and asked me whether I thought he was sexy. His entire presentation was hilarious! At the end, all the volunteers were given an autographed picture of him.

Wow! That is a lot! I wonder if he just signed that fast or did they extend the session?

 

[doconeill]

Yup...someone told me he did 57 ...he just said to let them all come.

Ash was s such a doll as usual...we got one standby ticket and got in for my oldest while we were outside. When she saw me she remember who I was and remembered talking to her on the phone and playing soccer. She then called my youngest over for pictures as well...then s minute ago we ran into her on the way our and have my wife a big hug...

I have no idea. I do know that when I went past his tent there were about 30 girls just waiting with no wristband.

I'm not certain which one you're talking about, but I know that most (not sure if it's all) of the shirts are also available for purchase on the Her Universe website. They have pictures, prices and descriptions.

How long was the walk from the Beach Club? What time did you leave your room? We'll be doing it next week!

Thanks!

We woke up at 6am, got dressed and left. Walk over was just under a mile. It was quite pleasant this morning.

 

[Nole95]

Not sure I this has been the case over the past two weeks.

Signed DS up for JTA at park opening this morning and requested the second session at 9:20. At this session they still only had enough kids for the main stage. After this session they started setting up for putting a kids below the stage.

They also had cast members blocking the stairs to Hollywood & Vine to keep people from trying to cheat to the front. Bi had read this had been an issue the past couple weeks.

 

[kagmypts]

For the FP distribution that begins before park opening, is that only for SWW events, or does that include other rides? My middle child is dying to ride TSM, and we are trying to figure out if we can squeeze that ride in tomorrow morning right at park open. Thanks!

Doconeill, you are totally right!! My mistake!!
I used to watch both.

I checked, but it's not on the site yet. Ashley was wearing it though...if I can get a picture uploaded somewhere (it's all on my big camera) where you can see it, I'll post it here.
