completely unrelated, BUT is anyone going to the DISapalooza in December at Universal Studios?

I think I might be! Being a huge Harry Potter fan (geez, at this point, what am I not a huge fan of?). I couldn't resist! Maybe now I'll finally get picked in the Olivander show! That will be my goal that night, that and to make myself sick off butterbeer.

It sounds like fun. I don't think I'll go but I know a wand keeper that used to be friends with Shelby Mayer (citizen of Hollywood) and another one that was actually an extra in the HP movie, to be precise the one who killed Hedwig . Also my son is a character escort for Celestina Warbeck so he might work the event

Still no show times announced for Weekend V, but yet they have removed Ashley Eckstein? I will need to spend time in the Rebel Lounge to process all of this. ;-)

And not just any bus driver... you need to ask THIS Bus Driver!!!

~NM

When he's not driving a bus he's officer Percival Peabody on the streets of Hollywood...his motto "If there's trouble, I'm in it" love him

and a friend of Erik a Royal Historian

Thanks everybody for all the good vibes I just went to MDE and checked my fp+ no overlap Also the tickets we're using are days left from our 10 day no expirations (I miss those) without the park hopper so that's why I'm trying to fit it all in 1 day and can't park hop. I hit the link on my iPhone and it asked me to sign in while I signed in on that I used my other hand to change tabs on the iPad and hit get table on there. Lol wow can you tell how bad I want this ADR

I really hope you catch something - if so, we'll see you there! (Wish I could help you, but we need ours).

Whoa, that is crazy about the extra. I'll have to go up to the wand guys and be like...did you kill Hedwig?

Thanks to another DISer, I finally got a Jedi Mickey dinner that will work for us! Since we got the DPFtF on the day we were going to do it originally (and it conflicted), I hung onto all my back-up scenarios until I got one that we could actually do without too much trouble. Since I have that now, I think I can finally part with all of my hoarded Weekend 1 & 2 H&V ADRs. Wanted to put it here first and I'll post it on the May dining cancellation thread a bit later tonight (well, any that aren't taken). I'll be on for awhile tonight if anyone wants to coordinate - just send me a PM.

All reservations are for 3 people (but probably would also work for 4, though I'm not 100% sure).

Friday, 5/15 at 5pm WITH Fantasmic
Friday, 5/15 at 8:50pm
Saturday, 5/23 at 4:45pm
Sunday, 5/24 at 7:55pm
Monday, 5/25 at 4:55pm WITH Fantasmic

Hope someone can use these!

Thank you so much for coordinating the reservation. I appreciate it!!!

 

[momofallsons]

I am going to cancel a Jedi Mickey Dinner for 4 as soon as I firm up plans - probably 8:40 pm. I am happy to coordinate with you when I do just in case you could snag it for 5 people.

We have 9:00 pm Fantasmic tickets right now, so I think 8:40 would be too late. Thanks so much for the offer though!!

 

[momofallsons]

We've actually done this, it was for be our guest dinner and CRT, they was fine with it, and said it happens!
They just told us we may have a couple of minute extra wait due to getting the table ready.

Really? That's great! Did you just ask if you could add in an extra person when you arrived? Maybe it's worth a shot then... Too bad he's already 3. He probably won't eat anything anyway & if he was only a couple months younger it wouldn't even be an issue because you can't make reservations for under 3, right?

Just throwing it out there. I saw this morning that Carrie Fisher will be at Tampa con

I read this as "Carrie Fisher will be a tampon" and did a double take. LOL!

I heard this on the podcast and was thinking about it as a Christmas present for my parents. It looks amazing.

 

[Tltorrez]

not sure if anyone posted this yet. It explains why SWW is being pushed out of Premier Theater - they're apparently tearing it down.

I read that on wdwMagic yesterday. I really hope they announce SWland at D23 and start building right away (or tearing down) Backlot Tours has been closed for almost a year and still no movement has been seen.

We will be there on a Friday during SWW but not coming until later in the afternoon around 3-4. Will we have trouble even getting into the park? 6/5

no you won't.

 

[lllGurulll]

no you won't.

Cool thanks. Would hate to drive over just to have to leave again. I know the crowds will be heavy but I think the kids would enjoy at least seeing some of the star wars atmosphere after we are done at the waterpark. Of course, thats considering they actually want to leave the waterpark.

Children under three still need to be included on a reservation, because they must be included in headcount for restaurant capacity.
