I know stars of the saga is popular but which of these two would you FP?

Obi-wan and beyond or an ewoks tale?

My cousin just posted on FB today that they announced the Star Wars Character meals a year ago today. So really we should all be thankful that we know as much as we do now!!

I read that when researching reviews today! That just seems so crazy to me especially since because of my over planning and re-checking I nabbed both Jedi Mickey and Star Wars Galactic breakfast in the last 24 hours. I saw some dates and times that won't work us the week of May 10th if anyone is looking for Jedi Mickey and one or two galactic breakfast ( I have two I will be posting in the cancellation board soon) .Seriously check , recheck and check some more. I just grabbed about 15 minutes ago a much earlier Galactic Breakfast reservation this way that actually worked out better for us.

Ewoks tale.....

Ewoks tale. Warwick Davis is amazingly awesome.

Assuming Warwick Davis is coming the weekend you're here, you should FP his show

I really need the Jedi Mickey meal at H&V on the 5th if you've got one and are willing to coordinate. We have 4 people.

I have one for the 5th of June at 7:10 for 4 if your interested?

I'll add you to the Roll Call if you'd like to post your dates. I couldn't figure out your days other than your SciFi breakfast.

This reminds me. I changed our Jedi Mickey to Friday, the 15th...not sure if the roll call thread has that or Monday the 18th. I can go check, but I was already in this thread lol.

I have a 7:15pm Jedi Mickey H&V dinner for May 31st for 6 people to cancel. PM to coordinate!

Thanks! Do you think it is worth FP symphony of the stars (if that is available)? I am not sure I want to splurge for the FtF package. I'd have to see details.

There wasn't a fp+ for it. FTF and VIP were only way to get a reserved area.

7 weeks to go

Thanks! Good to know! Whereabouts in the park is the parade?

in the past it has started near the entrance , comes down Hollywood Blvd and ends at the stage in front of Great Movie Ride. Read the first post for more specifics...BTW love your username

Sunshine Student - My son and I went to Disneyland last year (instead of WDW). It was SO MUCH more relaxing than a WDW trip!!

We aren't going to be relaxing, on convention days, but it does give me hope that on convention days we will actually be able to do a little bit

Thanks!

I've never even been to WDW before, never mind SWW, so it is a lot to process. Thanks for taking the time (all of you) to answer so many questions!

Please ask away, planning for WDW is an adventure in and of itself... and I will warn you be careful because it is addicting

some people find it helpful to watch videos of the different experiences you want to do at WDW on youtube.

This is what I did. I have been several times as a single adult, but this will be my first trip with kids (and DH has never been). I had to watch rides again with my oldest son in mind. Plus, it was fun to refresh my Disney memory since it has been about 6 years since my last trip. (Which was also DL not W, W is more like 10 years. Lots has changed!) This is everyone's first SWW, so I also watched bits of the SW shows which helped me decide we will spend our time other ways. As obsessed as he is with SW, I don't think my 6yo will sit through them (unless Ray Park does his show).

JTA question...we are going to do it on Thursday to avoid the madness that will be the first weekend! I have been looking at a map on Google Earth trying to pinpoint how we get to signups. It shows JTA right next to Star Tours. Is that where sign ups are? It is a MUST DO, so we will be at HS plenty early, probably stupid early because DH is adamant. Fine with me since I'd love to get the 9:20 or 10:10 show. So, I just want to be sure I know exactly where to head, assuming they don't change it.

No the sign ups are between Superstar Television Theater (old AIE theater soon to be Hyperion theater) and ABC SOund Studio Theater (old Sounds Dangerous) When you enter the park if there are no CM directing you towards it, walk down Hollywood Blvd, turn left on Vine St toward Indiana Jones theater, walk past Indi and you'll see the sign up area
