trying to decide what to post for TBT today?? what do you guys want to see? pictures of characters, celebrities, parade, food or shows? Any year in particular. I got pics on my computer from SWW 2009 and on.

I have been stressing over how my meals are interfering with my DP FTF day. I can't decide whether it would be better just to cancel one of our ADR's & just deal with having to waste a couple TS credits on CS meals or give up a couple shows. Anyway I know it is a VERY long shot for a Party of 8 but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask... Does anyone have an ADR for around 8/9AM for the Galactic Breakfast on May 31st they are thinking of cancelling??? FWIW, I may be cancelling ADR's for SW H & V around 7:30PM May 31st (6 + 2) if anyone is interested.

jmho but there is so much going on in general, let alone with the FTF, I'd go CS and perhaps switch another TS with signature dining.

actually, I'd skip the DP entirely. For us, the value is no longer there (after the tweaks & price increases) but it is convenient and still very popular.

Ray Parks (Darth Maul) was on Good Morning America in connection with the promos this week, pretty cool. he is such an entertaining person, don't miss his show!

The jedi mind trick I like is a shot it's 1/2 oz of baileys 1/2 oz of kahlua and 1/2 oz of butterscotch schnapps.
The blue milk I haven't tried before but sounded like a fun one for a nightcap. it's milk or half and half blue curacao, amaretto, and coconut rum. I may try rasberry vodka instead or blue berry vodka in that. I think this weekend will be a test weekend for drinks.

awesome, ty

So we've decided for sure to cancel our VIP, and I went in to switch my tier 1 FP from My Short Story to TSMM. It's not letting me in! Anyone else having problems with MDE this morning?

First of all, I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone in this thread! I had a question, if that's okay. (My apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere else, I'm working my way through the thread backwards and there's a lot to catch up on.)

On EasyWDW, Josh appears to list the Ewoks as meeting intermittently throughout the afternoon to the left of the Star Tours entrance. But I've also seen people referring to the Ewoks meeting with Chewie in the afternoon. I am determined to meet an Ewok, so I'd love some clarification, if possible. Are there two sets of Ewoks (one set on their own, one set with Chewie)? And for the ones that meet with Chewie, what time do they join him? Thanks in advance.

It worked for me about an hour ago, but took several times to load.

lol cheers!

have never attempted to smuggle booze into the parks, the FLA sun/heat would make me woozy. However,i'm not above using a rum runner (flexible plastic) when cruising. I often pack a small one in checked luggage with some grey goose in order to enjoy a nightcap at the end of the day back at the hotel.

Disney parks are one of the few places where security has never given my open water bottle a good shake when entering the parks. always found that strange.

I saw that from Josh. I've never seen the Ewoks roaming I've always seen them with Chewie in the afternoon times. Maybe someone has a different experience.

I swear I am being taunted by Star Wars since I cancelled trip. Went to store yesterday with DS and of course he finds Star Wars mac and cheese.....lol

I always carry a bottle of water and Security has never checked either. I did see a lady once trying to bring in the little mini bar bottles of stuff, she had them in her purse and security promptly took them away

Can't you meet the ewoks at the dinner with the Disney/sw characters?

Afternoon as in after the parade time frame? Or much later than that? And they meet with chewie right? Not as rotating between them and chewie? Thanks!

Wish I hadn't opened this site! Now I need that R2D2 skirt! And the hooded Ewok tank!!! Decisions, decisions!!

Ewoks are at the Jedi mickey dinner???

Ah, that complicates my plans a little - thanks for replying, this'll give me more time rejigging things to fit them in. Do you happen to know roughly when the Ewoks join Chewie? If I got in the queue during/right after the parade, would the Ewoks be with him when he resumes his meets? Or are they not out until later?
