Happy Revenge of the 5th day!!! for those of you inclined to the Dark Side

I have to cackle wildly because today is the day... Pictures get taken tonight, forms filled out, and I submit my Mara Jade costume as offical entry into the 501st! (I'll be sure to post the pictures of the outfit here as well, as promised.)

Revenge of the 5th is the perfect date to submit the "Emperor's Hand" for approval

For anyone interested in whom my character is, I have added the link http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor's_Hand

Wish me luck!

I just read the first post, and there is no way for me to read the 200+ pages of this, so forgive me if this has been asked and answered, but are you actually suggesting that peole can and do arrive at the park and line up to get in at 3:30 a.m.? Is this even possible? Does Disney allow its parking lot to become an overnight camp?

Obviously there's no way of telling for sure but this is my best guess on when to arrive at DHS

Weekend I: May 16-18

Ahmed Best: Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace; Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones; Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars: The Clone Wars) ....before 5am

Weekend II: May 23-25

Warwick Davis: Wicket W. Warrick (Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi); Wald (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace) ....before 5am


Weekend III: May 30-June 1

Ray Park: Darth Maul (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace) ...before 4am

Weekend IV: June 6-8

Ray Park: Darth Maul (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace)...before 4am
Billy Dee Williams: Lando Calrissian (Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi)...before 3:30am

That is the weekend he will be there, don't know if he will be in the show or not, I sure hope so.

If nothing else we will have Ray Park and Billy Dee Williams!

Ummm... yup. I think people line up outside the turnstiles, if I remember the photos correctly.

People actually spend the night over...the times are given are estimates as to what is the latest you need to be there to make sure you have a fp for these actors...
The parking lot at DHS never closes because they have 3rd shift CM that park there

Thank you thank you for this thread. That show will be worth it for Ray and Billy Dee alone, never mind Mark although we do all hope he does it.

I am in and my friend is too, for Stars of the Saga June 8. Now if only we can grab a feel the force cancellation for her.

All the shows are in Tier 1.

My other friend really wants JAT for Weekend 1 but I don't think he's that hard to get in to see (although his show is awesome, he does it every SWW day), so I chose Stars of the Saga instead to see Ahmed Best and Peter.

Revenge of the Fifth indeed.

 

[yulilin3]

Since I'm a AP I have to wait 2 more days to be able to book for Mark Hamill weekend....I hope there are 3 fp left

 

[ktate82]

We are there that weekend so I'm hoping he is in it! Woot! I'm so excited, I can't wait! This is a surprise birthday trip for my son who is Star Wars crazy! We aren't telling him till his birthday in two weeks, and it is getting harder and harder to keep it a secret! He keeps seeing the commercials for SWW and asking if we can go "sometime".

OMG, thank you so much. Was able to secure FP+ for Visit to the Maul, starring Ray Park. Had to give up Tier 1 (TSM) but well worth it!!! This was the last thing stressing me out before we leave!!

Thanks. I know that from other threads, people have commented that driving to a park for a pre-opening ADR can be risky because the parking lots often do not open up as early as people think they do. So based on that, I didn't think that arriving at the parking lot before 7:00 was possible. Is the early parking lot opening unique to SWWs? I think that no less of an authority as Robo has commented on the parking lots usually not being open very early.
