ADR has been claimed!

 

[itsthatdisneygirl]

Thank you so much for your insight.... this has been what I tried:
so I tried to PM the user that they told me is familiar with magic bands and he told me that these bands are only sold at Darth Mall all the way at the back of the park and have long wait times to get in... From what I can tell, some people here have already bought these bands which is very confusing because darth mall hasn't opened yet from what from I can tell... Would anyone be kind enough to let me know what stores these bands are found?

The confusion comes from which ones you are looking for.. the MB's that look like lightsabers seem to be only for Galactic Gathering, the MB';s that have Jedi Mickey and Sith DOnald are the LE ones are only sold at Darth's Maul and finally the Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker MB's are open ended and sold at several places inside the park

I bought my Stormtrooper MB at Tatooine Traders, But I did see them at Mickey's of Hollywood and Villians in Vogue.

Have you joined the roll call? Maybe a nice diser who is an AP or someone who will be there multiple weekends like myself could pick them up/ buy for you (on a early weekend) and coordinate a drop off when you get there.

Im getting to the point of bouncing off the walls. I have so much planned this weekend I cant stand it! LOL

We have SWW with RH and FTF DPP on friday, sleeping at AKL friday night, saturday morning we got into the DVC showing of tomorrowland and will hang out at the resort the rest of the day and sunday we are going to a local farm for a blueberry pancake breakfast.

I have my SWW schedule written down, DH and I have coordinated times for being at HS to get the celeb FP and I have gotten the kids all set with a ride to the resort after school.

@delmar411

How did you find out / were notified of the DVC showing of Tomorrowland? The perks section of the DVC webpage?

I am just curios how I missed it. TIA

There was an email that came out. Thats how they normally do it as well. I didnt get the email this time for some reason but someone else forwarded it to me. I dont think many received it because I was able to sign us all up at 4pm when the original email came out before 9am.

Nice! Good for you, enjoy.

Just wanted to thank @delmar411 for releasing the perfect RH ADR! If anyone needs one, I have an RH ADR for 7:50 for Saturday for 2 people.

yes, I realized that when I got a second message from the user they told me to PM... He originally thought that I was mentioning the limited edition mickey/donald MBs which I didn't even know are out... I was actually interested in the stormtroopers/luke MBs which I thought were the only ones that are out All is good... got everything sorted out... I will ask DH what he thinks will be the best strategy... Hopefully, the one where we can just buy/ask CM outside of the park to get the MB will work...

You'll need to ask the CM at the front of the park shop to call a Manager for you. A Merchandise CM can't go to another area to purchase something for you and they can't just walk over and pick up a MB from another store to sell to you.

I don't think a Manager would leave the area with your money or credit card as that isn't typical procedure. Even when the shop CM had to use the register in the outside part of the store, he asked our permission and he was in our field of vision during the complete transaction... he had to swipe DD's CM ID and then a Gift Card.

Ugh...still sitting at the airport. What time does magical express stop collectingbags?

So is the Rebel Hangar Lounge going to be swamped for all of SWW? (I know you could argue EVERYTHING will be swamped for all of SWW .)

Hi! Are the Luke MB available at any store in WDW or only at the Studios? Thanks!

It's new. I'm sure that will make it popular.

According to Magicbandcollectors.com, the Luke MB can be found in stores inside DHS.

according to someone we spoke to in there the characters will somehow rotate and people will know they've seen them all - finish their food and leave. Not entirely certain how that is going to work but she seemed confident.

here are the rest of the backdrops we saw today and locations (these are in addition to the ones I posted earlier.

Jedi Council location:


Darth Vader is behind this old Backlot Tour door - you go around (it looks like) to where Maul met last year (right hand side of Backlot Tour area) and enter there - behind the door you will see his backdrop:



Clone Wars crew - in their same location:

What do you mean we've seen all the characters? As in, look at them, or actually meet them?

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

Here are some shots from the Rebel Lounge - remember they were still setting up when we were there - it looked pretty cool. One blue badge CM (in a different location) told me they were going to have a meeting later on today to preview the location - I invited myself to the meeting and he happily told me to come (no doubt just going along with me - he was very cool! and no I didn't go!)

I'll post them in batches (trying not to make the pictures too big)

This gives me some hope that the Rebels characters may still show up, since that doesn't list the roaming bounty hunters or clonetroopers or the cantina band or jawas.

as far as we could tell - seen but not actually met..... personally I can't wait to hear how it all works from the Friday Disers with ADRs!
