Any idea how much the headphones are? Anyone have an older pair? Would they fit a child ok?

not exactly sure but I think they are close to $100

And my shopping list keeps expanding... Han solo popcorn bucket, Boba Fett Stein, The Endor & the Mustafar from Tuskan Raiders at least once, SWW blue ladies tank, not too mention the 2 RH ADR's I have....why did I think this would be less expensive than the vacation we usually take around this time of year

For those of you obsessing about WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE FOR MY TRIP!?!??
I have found this weather app to be extremely helpful. It's a video of the local Orlando area forecast where they EXPLAIN what will happen, not one of those apps that just says "rain" or "Sunny" or "face of the sun hot!".

It is hot and sticky here but when the sun is out it is brutal. Definitely take a compact umbrella to use as a sun shade in case you find yourself having to wait in the sun. And hydrate. I know Yulilin has emphasized it but be prepared to chug down the fluids or your ability to tour will be cut short.

After waking at 3 am and flying in yesterday I didn't get to bed last night until 2am. (Disney party all day, all night and sleep when you are dead!) I decided to take the morning off today and just do Epcot tonight with friends. The key to surviving your trip in this kind of heat and with this kind of activity level is to be reasonable. I know that the focus for me on this trip is the Star Wars activities. Remember that Star Wars weekends won't be going away anytime soon so if you have to opt out of something because you just can't take any more of the heat or the park touring... well then you will get to experience what you missed at FUTURE Star Wars Weekends... and you will be back. Maybe not next year or the year after that but when you are ready Star Wars Weekends will STILL be happening. So try to keep a positive state of mind, be patient and be reasonable. It's all going to work out just fine.

Just FYI, @WDWNT is posting a lot of pics of merchandise, etc. on twitter now... You'll also see them if you just search for #SWW2015 as yulilin posted earlier, I believe...

The headphones are 179.95 for the second editions. These really are studio quality headphones that put Beats to shame. They are on quality with good sennheisers. They would be big on a lot of kids. I don't have Star Wars editions but do have SMS. Awesome. If your child wants Star Wars headphones you dont have to worry about walmart has vader and r2 ones. They are around 20 and reasonable for small children. I may have a pair of those.

I really enjoyed rebels (if you couldn't tell). I will be so excited to meet chopper! He'll probably want to push me out a Spaceship because I'll be so annoying and excitable.

Note the C3PO and R2-D2 Lego models. There is also one of Boba but not in this picture.

Also a CM told us this years Darth Mall would be the most heavily themed.

We're brand new to it... starting the 4th episode tonight. The kids were reluctant at first, but they're getting into it!

ETA: I'm transferring the remaining episodes onto my iPad so we can also keep watching on the plane tomorrow!

Yuli I think your daughter's costume is awesome, and I'm so old school I'm not really sure who Sabine is.

Weekend II weather forecast has highs at 96! I expected Tatooine heat but that's more like Mustafar.

I just confirmed with a special event CM friend of mine that Rebels are not having a standard meet and greet place, trying to pry info off if they will be roaming around or inside RL

I am in love with the sw headphones but I just can't stomach the price

There are some first series on Amazon for around 115.
