Hmmmm, this reminds me . . . Didn't someone keep up with a list last year of who was attending which weekends/days? I don't think it was you, yulilin, but this post reminded me of it.

Someone did do that. Not sure who, but it was a good idea. Made it easier to meet up if people wanted to.

Thank you

Headed to SWW the very first Friday morning.

When we arrive for 7am there will be separate lines for those who want celebrity FP and just park entrance, correct? Is this clearly marked?

Will rides be open even if they let the crowd in early (example clones come out at 730 and they let people in for 740)?

Going to attempt JTA, last year the boys got a spot and we got rained out so they cancelled it and we didn't have a chance.

In the past have they sold ladies tank tops for SWW? Also, we just want to browse through darth maul tent? Not purchasing any limited edition or expensive items. Best time to do this? Not first thing right?

Thanks

the lines for celeb autograph and merchandise are to the far right of the turnstiles and it's roped off, you can easily just get in line to get into the park
Some rides were open early (TSM and ST) some rides like ToT and RnRC you had to wait till 8am, this was last year
Best time to go to the merchandise tent is the afternoon, while a lot of the SWW shows are on. This is if you don't want any LE merchandise
