lovethattink: awesome pictures, my favorite is the one where he's using the force push, with the most adorable smile

 

[lovethattink]

Thanks! I like the one where he is squinting from the sun makes it look like it's from the impact of the saber clash with Vader.

The JTA pics from this year are priceless. Every day he wakes up he asks if it's SWW yet.

For those of you that haven't seen this in person yet here is some pictures of the Magic+ Thumb-drive package. My vacation is at the end of May and we got our package today

Can anyone tell me if this new Memory Maker package is like the old Photo Pass when it comes to getting pictures taken with the SWW Characters? I know that last year all our SWW Character photos were included in our Photo Pass package.

There's very little information on Memory Maker on the HUB, none of it talks about SWW and characters. We will have to wait a very long time for this info (I'm thinking maybe a month before the first SWW)

Who has TRs of their previous SWW trips? I'm dying to read some!

They are pushing that as part of my reservation package, buy Memory Maker ahead of time for $50 off the regular price. There is no mention of Photo Pass. So if they don't include the same good stuff on SWW as photo pass does I am gong to be very pouty!

Photopass is going away completely. They'll honor anyone who currently holds a pre-bought PP package, but from now on, you can only buy MM. So I would assume MM will continue with magic shots.

We're staying at BWV for just that reason! Well, that reason and it's our favorite resort.

Ooohh..I have been thinking about going next year, but was waiting for official dates. Looks like it's time to start planning. Is the first weekend usually the best? Less crowded? More?

The first weekend is generally the less crowded, but, the first Friday is completely crazy/busy for merchandise.
People line up very early on Friday morning (sometimes Thursday night) to get their hands on limited edition merchandise. The lines to get inside the merch. tent are usually hours long.
Now since we don't know which celebrities are coming we won't know how busy it will be for the autograph fp's.

That's cool. I don't much care about the merch and certianly won't wait hours just to buy something. I also want to enjoy the rest of the World too so it seems like lower crowds would be best. I can ride while everyone else is waiting for merch! Guess I might wait to see the guest lists before committing.
