The merchandise looks great!

I did a search to see if I could find anything else, I'm shocked at all SWW merchandise that is on sale on ebay and SWW hasn't even started. Prices are crazy too. At least it is one way to view the merchandise though.

I've updated the Celebrities List and created a mini site with links to Character Schedules and Show Schedules. The Show Schedules will become definite on May 11 in the evening. I'll be there on the 17th to research the Character Schedules and add them to the blog and app.

Gahhhhh!!!! I can't get away from Stitch!!!! First TGMR stuck him on the ToT 10-miler merch and now my first SWW stuff!! WHY does Disney think we like Stitch so much?? Of course, I'm sure i will find plenty of other goodies--there seems to be a ton of awesome merch. Thanks so much for the previews!!!

Looking at the show schedules, I was wondering about logistics of it all. If we wanted to see all the shows in one day can we just keep our seats and stay in the theater all day long or do you have to go out and line up after each show? They all seem to be scheduled one after the other and I was curious how this worked. Thanks!

for Vinylmation fans, there will be a special Vinylmation Signing on May
19, from noon to 2 p.m inside Darth’s Mall to celebrate
the release of the Star Wars Series 3 figures.
Artists Casey Jones and Maria Clapsis will be available for meet and greets.
Here's a picture of the SW 3 Series

You have to come out and make the line again...each show has a different set on stage and they change it and don't allow guests to be inside while it's being done.
The shows that have the longest line are Visit to the Maul (when Ray Park is there) and Stars of the Saga. Behind the Force doesn't have a long line and you'll be able to find a seat by making the line 15 minutes before. Obi Wan and Beyond doesn't have a long line either.

Thanks Kenny!! Your schedule was invaluable to us last year!! I know we wouldn't have seen as many characters in such a short time without it!!

I'll be trying to report back from tomorrow's May the 4th event and see if I can find any other information.
I'll be there from around 11am until around 4pm since I have to run at the Expedition Everest Challenge tomorrow night.

You'll be going from dhs as I'll be arriving.

Dh was telling me that there is a special release pin on May 5th too. Is there anything else planned May 5th? He says the pin for the 5th says Revenge of the Fifth.

I can't believe how fast this trip is sneaking up on us! I'm excited but definitely don't feel ready yet.

Has there been any other information released regarding the D-tech Me offerings this year? I heard rumblings of Carbon Freeze Me again but I'm really interested in the Stormtrooper...seems like they are cutting it pretty close if they haven't announced anything yet.

Not sure but they did say that they would release "May the Fourth" and Revenge of the 5th" tomorrow. Limited Time Magic starts May 5 with a special celebration at Epcot where you can meet Los Tres Caballeros (Pato Donald, Panchito y Jose Carioca) and a lot of mexican entertainment

Here's the merchandise from Disney Parks Blog: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...ampaign=Feed:+DisneyParks+(Disney+Parks+Blog)

Thanks! And good luck on your EE Challenge!

Thanks, just came back from picking up our packets...we are team Seize the Day (we love Newsies) we were going to go with a SW theme but figured that a lot of people would do that so we will be Newsies.
Here's a schedule of tomorrow's events that Matt posted on Studios Central

You're welcome, that's why I do it! I just wish Disney would see the need to publish the character schedules for SWW, MNSSHP and MVMCP rather than have people bugging the busy Character Attendants all day long.
