I was looking over my videos on my youtube account and had totally forgot that I had taken this video from last year. It's the lines for autographs fp, the merch tent, some character lines and people lined up for parade

Ok you have me a little scared...people actually run to JTA?...I mean I am all for walking with a mission but not really into running...if we are there for opening lets say midway in the crowd and walk semifast "should" we get a spot...we dont care if it is later in the day. Actually would probably prefer afternoon...which leads to my next question can you request a later time?

The registration reaches capacity within 30 to 45 minutes after the park opens so if you're there when they open you should be fine...I'm not sure about picking your time, I wouldn't see why not but it's been a while since my kids did JTA. Maybe someone here has done it before during SWW and can share more info...
have you seen the video of Tokyo Disney opening...that's scary

Does character palooza run during SWW?

Does character palooza run during SWW?

Not sure, recently they've been doing characterpalooza at Streets of America and I doubt they'll do it there during SWW becase that area is used for SW characters, they migh move it back to the Animation Building

Does anyone know how popular Jeremy was last year?

Does anyone know how popular Jeremy was last year?

His line and Peter Mayhew's are one of the easiest lines to get into...they have come almost every year and are fast signers.

 

[CentralFloridian99]

That's good to know, how about Warwick?

 

[yulilin3]

That's good to know, how about Warwick?

longer than Bullock and Mayhew. maybe a bit on par to Ray Park but not as popular...it's been a couple of years since he last came
Up to now we don't need any of the autographs because we already have all of the people that have been announced, kinda excited not to have to wake up so early, we'll see when they give us the rest...

Is the Darth Mall shop open every day during the SWW timeframe? Meaning, we are scheduled to be at HS on the 3rd. Will we be able to browse some cool SW stuff?

Darth Mall is only open during the days of SWW, that is every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of SWW. That's how it's been in years past, they might change it this year

This may be common knowledge already, but if not...
I called the WDW Tech number on Sunday to see if the Carbon-Freeze Me Experience will be at this year's SWW, and was told that if it will be around, it will most likely be announced around in early May.
Here's a link if anyone (like me and DS) was wondering what in the world this was, looks real cool!
Carbon-Freeze Me Experience

It's pretty sweet. Just don't get your little guy wet. I have heard a story of one that got soaked and was ruined. Mine is still in the plastic/box it came in.

thanks Tink for answering my questions about the character/shopping lines. i wondered if anyone happened to know the price of the girl sized her universe shirts in darth's mall? i was going to order some for my dd ahead of time but if they are widely available there i might as well just get them down there (and count them as one of her souvenirs!). thanks so much!

The price is the same as on her site. Right now at Tattoine Traders the sell the Padme one and the Ahsoka one. Just be advised that she doesn't bring all of her line to sww. If you saw the shirt you want in the video it's likely that it'll be there

 

[torontominnie]

thanks! it was in the video, but maybe i should just order it to be sure i can get the right size. thanks again!

Is there anything that will offered on the first day that you think will sell out? I am not interested in any "limited edition" pins or coins. I'm planning to fly in on Friday morning and hitting Studios on the first Sunday. Is there something worth buying on Friday morning that would compel me to book my flight for Thursday instead?

This is my 4th year in a row. I have all the autographs of the celebs being offered the first and second weekend so I won't need to be there early at all this year unless I'm shopping for something great so it does make a difference from a scheduling perspective.

TIA!
