Official Star Wars Weekends 2013 Tips and Tricks

[BensWife]

Does anyone know if there is a Star Wars themed autograph book available during SWW? We will be there the very last day (Sunday, June 9th). If they have one, then we will make sure to get one there and not just a regular Disney World one at the resort gift shop. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm rumor of being able to put your face on a Stormtrooper?
Thanks

there was preview of one on Disney blog. Only thing I'd worry about is sell out.

this reminded me of something...last year a mom got upset because her young daughter or son went to meet Darth Vader and put his/hers hand up to give him a high five and Vader didn't do it...please keep in mind the "Dark" side character stay in character when meeting and greeting...no high fives, hugs or other showings of affection from them...Aurra Sing really scares the beejeezus out of little kids (and some adults), if she sees that a little one starts getting flustered/scared/cries she'll back away but she will never smile. So keep that in mind when you go meet them
here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxkxmU-ZVFw

That's part of the Disney "On Stage" presence that they must maintain. Local 501st Garrisons are much more lax on how they handle these things. Definitely at Disney, no "funsies" by the dark side.

They will do minor things once and a while. Darth Vader tiped my hat down a bit to see what the emblem was (Bulldog Hockey) and leaned in close to my wife to get a better look at a "kiss me because I'm a Sith" button. But, I agree that for the most part, the dark side keep it in character the majority of the time.

During the march - were not allowed to interact .
The darkside faces forward and marches .. Ive seen some of The rebels wave and smile ..
But the 501st is instructed by disney to not break character ... And we do not

That's because the 501st is a bunch of professionals. Rebels are rules breakers, anyway!

Still waiting on my next fitting, BTW.
