Can anyone give me photo locations for Jedi Mickey and Ahsoka?

Mickey is next to the exit of great movie ride. Ahsoka is next to premiere theater by Muppets
 
We were there yesterday and had a wonderful day. We managed quite a bit considering there is no way I can consider getting my husband to any park at any time for any event earlier than 9am, no matter how big a fan he is! We really enjoyed the roaming characters so much more than the queuing characters - we found you can play with them more, whereas with the queuing ones all you do is take photos with them. My son wore a UK t-shirt of 4 storm troopers crossing over the Abbey Road zebra crossing (famous Beatles album cover) and all the characters seem to make a beeline to him just for that. As we were walking into the Ray Park Visit to Mall show, the CM said "nice shirt" and promptly went on to give both my sons the wrist band to go up on stage with him!

Anyway, I'm afraid I too have a few questions:

1: We watched the motorcade from near the exit of Indianna Jones. It was great and the costumes and members of the legion were fantastic, but we were just wondering what the difference being the other side of the stage made? I know the Celebs are in the parade up to the stage, but we were wondering if there were any Disney characters dressed in SW costumes as well. Basically just wondering how much we missed and if it's worth catching it again pre the stage!

2: We are here this w/e and next w/e and at the moment planning on going for our 2nd SWW day tom. Do you think we would do better leaving our 2nd day till next w/e when it is not a public holiday w/e?
 
Where does the motorcade end? I thought I read that it only went to the hat, but a few years ago we watched it near the bronze heads. Does it still go past them?

On top of the 501st and rebel legion you get to see the celebrities. The Disney star wars characters, and all the characters that you can meet thru out the park.

The 501st and rebel legion are the only one s that march all the way to star tours, the rest just go up to the hat
 
I am one of those annoying posters that is probably asking a question that has been answered in a previous post, but there are so many pages to this thread it would take forever to find the answer.

We are going to be a SWW the very last day (Sun, June 9th). What time should we get there if...
1. We would like to catch the storm trooper show at opening
2. Want to get our 2 boys signed up for JTA
3. Are not really interested in getting celeb signatures (not needing fastpasses for those).

Also, if we are staying at Saratoga Springs, when would we need to catch a bus to get there at your suggested time?

Thank you so much!

I am not the most expert one here, but I think I can answer those, based on all of the reading that I've done. I'd plan to be there by 7:15 at the latest. Gates will probably open around 7:30 with the Stormtrooper show shortly after that. Once they allow everyone into the park, head directly to the Indiana Jones theater where they'll be signing kids up for Jedi training. Kids must be with you at sign ups. If you have more than one adult, send one to get Toy Story Mania fastpasses while the other has the kids in the JTA line.

Good luck!
