Does anyone know the approximate cost of the face painting near Star Tours during Star Wars weekends?

$18.00

IS there an upstairs room there??

Backlot is sort of bi-level iirc. Not two stories. I bet she meant upper level (as in: about 2 steps higher than the lower level).

I would just like to reiterate again how much I appreciate the giving people on this thread. The information sharing is incredible. Also, I really appreciate that people here are so friendly and genuinely nice to each other. Sorry, I just read a reply to one of my posts on another thread. There just seems to be so much negativity and rudeness about these days. I think I am just going to stay in this part of the forum for a while

Wow ! Sorry to hear about the negativity and rudeness.
We must truly be on the Light side of the Force here.
I am thankful also for all the great sharing of info.
I really appreciate this thread and everyone being so positive.

I called yesterday and the girl told me it would be at the backlot express in the UPSTAIRS room............(IS there an upstairs room there??)
She also said it would be completely decorated and an EXPERIENCE not to be missed.... She also said to keep checking constantly.......... would NOT confirm Monday at all, just said to keep checking constantly, so, I said over the weekend and she said YES, I would.

there's no upstairs room. There is a small ramp that leads up to a second area but not really an upstairs. it's extremely unlikely that they will open anything for booking this weekend. I'm going to bet that is going to be Monday

I totally agree on Mon - I thought she was NUTS on all counts. As for an UPSTAIRS room......... that's what she said, however I didn't remember an "upstairs" -- I guess we'll just have to see!!

I have a question about the feel the force reserved areas. I have seen a lot of places online say that the kids go down in the front....what about a kid in a wheelchair? I bought the FTF package so that my dd would be able to enjoy the festivities, but I don't want her to be unable to see because she is in a chair. This will work out ok right?

We are so excited because she is dressing up as R2D2.

@Wendydagny not sure anyone answered or not but, last year they had a roped off area right against the rope for those in wheelchairs. It was right before the area they had taped off for the kids. It worked out well as you can see over those in wheelchairs. I would still plan on checking in early to ensure she isn't sat behind someone, which did happen last year.

Why do you think my name starts with a Y ??
You guys are too funny. I've enjoyed this years thread very much. I always love how our thread stays positive, and funny, and witty. I'm gonna feel the post SWW depression real bad.
But for now let's enjoy the ride. Can't wait to meet as many of you as possible

Just means for next year you start the thread on June 15, 2015. We can speculate on how the new movie will effect sww and hopefully about sw land which is rumored to be announced at D23 Expo.

Comic book day was awesome!! Stephanie got 12 free books and a free POP figure. Of course we bought, the most recent SW and Vader and the new Kanaan.
Went to DTD, couldn't ride the balloon due to heavy winds. Checked out Super heroes headquarters and it's a great store but needs to be bigger and have more options for the ladies. D Street has a bigger SW section now. The Once Upon a Time store has a bigger SW section as well, they have both build a droid and build a lightsaber stations, and a lot of books (including the comic books) and action figures.
Chillaxing at home until we have to sign in for our volunteer shift tonight

We bought the cute little Star Wars umbrella at Toys R Us. I got a couple of Star Wars pools from Think Geek during their Star Wars sale. Both were suggestions from this thread. I am going to be broke before we get to SWW!

 

[SalmonPink]

Okay, so this should be approached as a RUMOUR ONLY, because it hasn't been confirmed, and fake Infinity leaks have happened before. But real leaks have also happened under similar circumstances, so we'll see. But for now, I present this image I just accidentally stumbled upon -

A friend sent me this. Stage is going up.

What happened to the little tree and shrub area that was there yesterday? Gone?

is it always that big??????

Yes. The beautiful view of the Chinese theater is blocked until the end of FSF.

I have a question about the feel the force reserved areas. I have seen a lot of places online say that the kids go down in the front....what about a kid in a wheelchair? I bought the FTF package so that my dd would be able to enjoy the festivities, but I don't want her to be unable to see because she is in a chair. This will work out ok right?

The w/c viewing area in the package area changed a few times between SWW and FSF. Last I saw, it had been moved to the far left of the viewing area for FSF. It started out beside the video cameras.

The first to arrive in the chairs get front row, then it fills in behind with the next set of chairs/ECV. Last year, ds needed a watchful eye on him, so we didn't park in that area and got there early enough to get rope and one of us went beside him and the other behind the chair.

I do not see the pools? Am I missing something? Both DS have the Disney Store R2D2 umbrellas, Do you guys think those are big enough for "shade"?

Nope! Nope! As much as I would love to see SW infinity characters etc. We bought DS the infinity for his birthday and 6 months laster had to get him the 2.0 for Christmas. I refuse to buy another version for at least a year!

That would be AWESOME! DS would be all over that for Christmas
