So I've collected SWW pins dating all the way back to 2000 and heard about the Force Awakens pin that was just released this weekend.

Please tell me that somewhere on either the pin or backer card that there is a SWW logo! Can't tell from the photos of it posted to date and very disappointed if no SWW mention anywhere on it!

It doesn't. Just Star Wars and Force for Change. http://twitter.com/Talionbot/status/606864112166051841/photo/1

Hmmmm....thanks for the info.

Hope everyone had a great SWW day today!

It's such a cute top, I got loads of comments about it so I'm sure you will next year too, it's been so much fun, it's our first SWW too, today Im wearing my green vest with ewoks as teenage mutant ninja turtles and had lots of comments about that too! So many to choose from on Red Bubble! Xx

I have another t-shirt with droids/robots from SW, Futurama, and Dr. Who, that I got from Tee Public. I wore it to the Indy 500. I guy stopped me and wanted to take a picture. He wanted to know where I got it. He couldn't stop laughing and raving about it. It's strange where you find like-minded people.

Thank you so much for your help! Will say hi tomorrow if I see you guys. Bringing my mom for a full day of SWW. She only did Obi Wan and the fireworks last year. Getting my SWW Dooney tomorrow as well!

I didn't notice the first weekend, but did today...
Anyone know what was up with the extra security guards in the parking lot? There were two by the parking ticket booth and a few more scattered. Noticed two by the booth when we left around 3. Just thought it was odd.

Saw a cute shirt today. They said they got it from this website:

I *think* it is when they are about to close the parking lot at capacity

Didn't make it back to HS for the fireworks tonight. Girls were too tired and I had gotten them up at 6 am for the Backstage Tales tour at AK. But had a great view of them from the beach at CBR. Missed the music but they were still awesome Really hoping to get back tomorrow after our move to AKL in the morning.

non-SWW question, but I figured there was enough experience here to help me out. We our bringing our own double stroller (one in front of the other - not the side-by-side). The very first thing we are doing at MK is the railroad. I know RENTED strollers are not allowed because the stroller must be collapsible. Ours IS collapsible - but would the double still be too big? Or just as long as it can fold up, will it be fine?
Thanks so much!

I'm exhausted but we've had two great days! We had an AWESOME time at the Rebel Hangar tonight. Best meal of the three by far. We saw Stephanie (my kids asked what character she was!) so we must have been there at the same time as Yulilin. We also walked by and saw the droids out at 7:55! Apparently, lots of close encounters!

I'll do a mini-report when we get home, but it was a great SWW that is now over for us. Tomorrow it's MK in the morning and then we head to Universal to see all the Harry Potter stuff!

But they had them at 7:10am and we were in the second row or so of cars. So that would make sense except for the empty parking lot. (Which did full nicely during the day.)

Someone posted in the following thread that they were able to ride TSMM even after it was supposedly closed for the SWW fireworks. I guess it pays to check. I wonder if the other early closing rides, like GMR, are the same.

I'm hanging out by the Luke Leia meet. I'll be at echo lake later

Boo! I missed you! When I was done you guys had already moved from the table. I'll try again for Week V.

I was a a single. A nice family took my pics with my phone. I was darn near hyperventilating.

Something was up. When I ordered a drink this manager dude stopped to bartender to show him a bulletin. He made a joke at it being a note to keep an eye out for people. But I'm not sure he was kidding.

Did you get in to see Luke and the Droids? I was so flipping excited!

Ray Park's line is already to the bag check.

Man, it's going to be a long night for some people. I guess the word got out and people who missed it before learned the game. If one was really smart/dedicated, they would just forgo the hotel room for a night, save money, and camp out at SWW for autographs.

We had this kind of stroller years ago and it fit just fine on the railroad.
