Ok. I've been at Disney for 10 days and I'm way behind on this thread. I just wanted to come on and say thank you for all the helpful advice. We were lucky enough to be inside the park to yell "May the Force be with you" to open the park. We are like 3rd in line to meet Chewbacca. My husband and son are signing up for Jedi training academy.

have a wonderful day...see you around

We are in line for Chewie. Does he do autographs?

yes he does. All characters do, minus the droids

This makes me feel a little better about the rain chances for today. Looks to be 50% for times they set up the tables and stuff. Our FtF package is today and I was anxious about dessert party rained out (moved location I know). Do they allow you to take snacks and drinks with you to the viewing area? I've been telling the kids about the desserts and they'd be disappointed to be able to only get one or two.

I'm assuming that they changed rain location because of the amount of people. It used to be at Disney Jr. Yes you can take snacks and drinks from the dessert party to the firework viewing area. Indiana Jones set is awesome

@lovethattink just reported that they are handing out the Boba Fett, Darth Maul and Stormtrooper posters for AP. I guess they had a lot of stock on them

We had an amazing first day. The first CBR bus did not arrive until 6:40 which got us to the park a little before seven. We were the fourth family in line at our tapstiles. I was surprised how fast the lines filled in after us. The JTA run is no joke. Thanks to this thread I was positioned at the rope properly and we were one of the first ten or so to sign up. The line for JTA got really long really quick. A quick "viewing" of Chewie as his line was well over an hour at 8:00. We then got our TSMM FP in, did JTA which was amazing, and hopped in line for Star Tours. This is where our Disney Magic happens.

As we are waiting in line for Star Tours my DS6 starts going nuts in line. Luke Skywalker is above us in the waiting area just walking around. My son, wearing 3P0 ears begins yelling "Master Luke!" Luke looks at him and immediately yells , "THREEEE P OHHHHHH!!!!" This alone would have been amazing, but there's more.

As we turn the corner to load the ride a cast member grabs me and says, come with me. He takes us behind stage and as we turn a corner Luke is waiting for us. We spent several minutes with him one on one and he was AMAZING with the boys. After a few pictures he asks if it's OK for him to join us on the ride. The kids were going nuts, as he was #1 on my DS9 meet list.

What an amazing story and yet another example of why Disney is so special!

So I got super early to go to Publix first thing cause I was lazy yesterday and didn't go grocery shopping, back at the house by 7:20am and I'm eagerly waiting for Stephanie to get up so we can go. I did tell her we could leave around 9:30am but I'm so ready to be at DHS...should I start making loud noises and be like, oops, sorry, did I wake you?
BTW we are staying for fireworks tomorrow night...but we will be by the stage cause she wants to get good pics of the Summon of the Force pre show.

I know, right?!

I have stated that on several Facebook groups. Everyone thinks this is such a big deal. But ours has been around for years and to be honest, it should just be matter-of-fact.
Like of course we have a female master Jedi!

Can someone post a link to the posts with magic shot samples? I'm in the park trying to show my boys what they're going to look like, and I can't find any.

remember that yours will have the red gate background

These backgrounds are obviously so much better than the red gate. Any idea as to why they changed them, or does it come default as red gate and somehow you get to later select a different background?

 

[yulilin3]

not the post you're looking for...move along

I think you just get the red gate. The backgrounds were there in years past so the only thing was the actual characters. Not sure what happened to the background
