Enjoy your Mothers Day breakfast @yulilin! Thanks for all you do for this thread - 19 days to go until our first SWW, and it will be awesome because of you!!! Hope I get the chance to say thanks in person

We started watching Star Wars Rebels... finally convinced the kids to give it a shot. We're 3 episodes in and they said "that's pretty good..."

They were sold when I told them we may run into those guys in SWW, and don't they want to know who they are?!

Star Wars indoctrination must be complete...

Just curious, where is everyone watching Rebels? Thought I'd have my kids give it a shot, but was just wondering if it's available streaming anywhere for free or if I'd need to purchase it?

I'm sure a fellow DISer will have the answer for you -- sorry I don't know. I recorded the whole season when it was on for May the 4th.

I think you just have to sign up for free and you can watch here

thank you, I'm actually doing Jedi Mickey dinner at 6:30pm tonight. I hope to get to meet you and everyone else as well

Thank you! I could have sworn I saw on a previous page a few weeks ago that there was a name for at least 1 other? Maybe I'm confused.

last year the one inside Darth's Mall was called Ackbar Snackbar

Slightly non Star Wars related but does anyone know where I can find something similar to the "Three-Cheese Monte Cristo" from Cafe Orleans at Disneyland? Preferably somewhere on WDW property if possible.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

We have a Sci-Fi adr on the 16th for 6pm. Will they be showing Star War movies on the screen like they do for the breakfast since it is SWW or will they have the regular C movies since it is not a specialty meal?

There is a Jabba the Hut cupcake?! I was only planning on gorging out on Yoda and Vader Cupcakes. This changes everything.

You need to log in with your tv provider... this is the first time I've regretted DH dropping the cable. We've been running purely on streaming services (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon). He's a tech guy, so I'm going to make him find a way we can watch it!

Last year it was the regular movies as per usual at Sci-Fi

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's here! Starting to pack in earnest today!

(Oh, I added many of you to my Twitter - I'm mandem714 on there - I think on Instagram, too. Gotta figure out how to work both of them, too).

So, I really wanted to get one of the Lightsaber logo tees from Her Universe to wear to SWW in June, but my size isn't in stock. Do you guys think the site will get more or do you think that all the stock will be going to DHS for SWW since Ashley will be there every weekend? Anyone have any experience with this? Just wondering whether or not I should keep stalking her website for it.

Funny you should mention that. BFF and I just ate at Cafe Orleans on Friday! Nothing like it in all of WDW - I've never seen a Monte Cristo anywhere on a WDW menu.

Dockside Grill in Cagans Crossing has a Monte Cristo on the menu but I've never eaten there.

We watched 4 5 6 1 2 3. Now ODS just watches whatever he is in the mood for. He really adores Qui Gon, so he watches 1 a lot, but he's seen all of them half a dozen times.

DH was telling me about "the machete order". It is 4 5 2 3 6, leaving out 1 entirely. You get the father surprise, then Vader's story with the surprise of sister at the end of 3. I think it is absurd!

Machete order is the best! I've seen the movies countless times, but I watched in that order last summer and picked up on a lot of new connections I hadn't realized before. It's a great way to introduce the story to someone new because A New Hope has the best world building, then At the end of Empire, Luke is trying to understand his father, so you go back and see Anakin's story, and then his redemption in Jedi. You miss nothing if you skip 1 in my opinion, but I'd watch it after Empire if you're introducing someone new. The only problem I had was going from Empire (my favorite) to Attack of the Clones which is not great.

Ok so here are our magic bands not perfect but I think they came out well for a DIY project.

 

[heidi8]

We tried to use Reformed Machete, which is 4, 5, Weird Al's The Saga Begins song, then 2, 3, 6 and 1 just for completion purposes - but when they released 1 in theaters in 3D before Middle Child had seen 2 or 3, we opted to go see it. Somewhere my livetweet of it exists which involved a lot of flailing at the really, really bad parts.

After breakfast Sci Fi goes back to their normal operations, so it's the regular sci fi movie clips. BTW @lovethattink reported this morning that they showed The Force Awakens teaser trailer during breakfast

I would keep stalking the site but she did say she will have full stock of the lightsaber tees, how many of them is the issue. Last year the Ewok shirt sold out of most of the sizes int he first couple of weeks.
