This isn't really related to SWW at disney but I just noticed that Williams-Sonoma has some Star Wars pancake molds,cookie cutters, and cupcake sets on their website with some really good sales. Everything is at least 50% off. Just thought I would pass that info along to some people that might be interested!

DD really wants a Star Wars t shirt to wear for SWW. Does anyone know where I can find a t shirt for her? She wears a 10/12. I would like it to be some what girly.

Disney store website has some. Also check a site called Threadless. It's independent artists designing the shirts but they have some sort of agreement with Disney. They have some Star Wars shirts, as well as Disney villains, Pixar, Muppets, and Nightmare Before Christmas. They also have $10 shirt sales quite often

Looks like we are going to be there for one weekend this year. Time for me to start reading and see if anything has changed since our last SWW about 4 years ago.

I really want to have my picture taken with Chewbacca this time around.

I'm SO excited! This is the first time we've been able to make it back during SWW since 2007. I just snagged the Star Wars character dining at HW&V (with a Fantasmic! package because that's all that was offered for our date). My DH and DS will be thrilled, and I'm going to make it a complete surprise for them! I know there are two showings of F! the night we'll be there. For those of you who have been recently, do you think we'll be able to make the SW fireworks after the 9 pm showing of F!? I know if we do the 10:30 show we won't have reserved seats, but that showing won't be as crowded so it would be OK.

I'm in the same boat with the F! package for the character meal. I wish it was more like the World of Color meal at Disneyland, you get your choice of show after dining (unless they run out of passes for the earlier show). I would rather have a decent spot for the fireworks, so I'll be doing the 10:30 show.

Like RAPstar said, I think it's better to do the 2nd F! and here's my reasoning:
The first F! willget out at 9:30pm the fireworks start at 9:45pm...they will empty the theater onto Sunset Blvd and, maybe, directly onto the entrance of the park (there's a backstage gate that opens from Sunset Blvd to the area next to the restrooms by the stroller rental on Crossroads) so you will be stuck on Sunset or you will have to basically cram yourself in the small area around crossroads (right next to the entrance of the park) it will probably not be ideal for watching the fireworks you'll have buildings and trees blocking you.
If you watch the fireworks first from Hollywood Blvd and as close to Sunset Blvd as possible the fireworks will end shortly before 10pm then you can walk to F!...most people will probably leave after the fireworks and the show 2nd show starts loading around 10pm anyways

I'd check Her Universe or Hot Topic.

buy a her universe shirt down there and have Ashley sign it

 

[Tasmen]

Check Her Universe online. There might be some Her Universe shirts at Hot Topic.

You can also watch http://www.teemagnet.com They have a detail of all the daily t-shirts (available for just one day at a time). They usually sell for $10-12 a piece. This is where I have gotten 95% of my Star Wars shirts.

You can also go to their themed list: http://www.teemagnet.com/presents/?list=starwars&theme=CLASSIC These shirts are more than $10 as they aren't daily specials anymore. Up side is there is a TON of selection and she could end up with a shirt not a lot of other people will be wearing

As it has been mentioned, HerUniverse is one place to go but I also have bought items at http://www.superherostuff.com/characters/star-wars-t-shirts/star-wars-merchandise.html One of my fav places to shop online.

 

[Reizo]

AWESOME, glad you didn't have to ditch, I mean leave those lovely souls behind

Haha same. Looks like it worked out in the end

 

[JediLeia]

I know many people have mentioned Her Universe before (with good reason ), but I also want to add that Her Universe sells SOME shirt designs on Amazon. If you like to shop Amazon, you could get free shipping. I don't know if this is true for girls sizes, but many of the women's shirts tend to run small so I often go up a size.

Oh, lots of fun designs on that site. Yikes, I don't need to be tempted by more Star Wars tshirts, I have enough as it it!

It's always fun to go to Star Wars themed events and see the variety of tshirts people show up wearing - as I'm sure we'll all see at SWW! I'm still deciding which one I'll bring!
