See who will be there during your SWW visit. Maybe share a Memory Maker account or a car in SciFi, coordinate saving spots for the parade, or borrow someone's small child to utilize Rider Swap! Join now!!

"borrow someone's child" that's awesome

Seriously? Nobody said that. It was posted that they were opened for booking in March last year (which is true). Which does not mean it will be the same from year to year. They were not even offered before last year.

Keep looking, you may be able to pick up a cancellation.

I only finalized my vacation a short time ago and we were already inside 180. And it was a week or so after THAT when I decided to get breakfast ADRs.

And they were sold out. Some of you held my hands on that one.

I made a H+V reservation since they were still available. BTW, I've got a party of 8 so it's a little difficult anyway.

I think it was a week to 10 days ago that I got reservations AND I noticed a lot of availability AND I posted about that availability. I think they must have opened up new slots.

Keep looking. Party of how many by the way?

Peter Mayhew has been released from the hospital!

This is great news. He has been looking very ill for the last couple of years but he always brought his great stories. It wouldn't be a normal SWW without him. I hope he's able to make it this year

He and his wife were at one of our local conventions that I missed, my 501st garrison went to dinner with him and his wife, they loved talking with them!

OK I check this here daily and yet I had to start 3 pages back-love an active thread!

Kids don't know we are going to SWW this year-My son said to me yesterday (reading his Star wars comic) that he wished he could go to SWW at Disney this year. I asked him if he would be scared if he had breakfast with Darth Vader -he said he would use his Jedi mind trick on him...Not sure how much longer I can keep a secret...

on the upside-researching flights (hubs refuses to drive even though we have 3 drivers in family now and it wouldn't be that big of a deal)-the cheapest flight is a day earlier than planned reservation so...guess I will have to add another resort day (oh darn!) Using this as opportunity to explore (even for 1 day) a different resort-thinking CBR-my oldest daughter wants to go place like Jamaica so I figured I'd do the disney version

For the vets-do the lockers at front of park get rented out quickly? Thinking my son may want his Jedi costume for Galactic breakfast but I don't really want to carry it around all day (or his lightsabers).
Thanks for all the great info!

You are way stronger than me. I would've spilled the surprise already.
As for lockers, I don't think they get rented out that quickly, most people just take their items to their cars or back to their hotel rooms. Keep in mind that there are 2 size of lockers, the bigger ones can fit the lightsaber and costume fine (unless it's the lightsaber that doesn't collapse all the way)

Monykalyn,

This is so cute... I love the mind trick comment.

I was going to suggest a lightsaber too, until I read further down and saw you got that covered.

How old is your son? The reason I ask is that there are alot of adults and kids whom wear their costumes all day.

In addition I found this lovely small back pack that even kids can use, my BF and I each have one and our water bottles, sunglass cases, phones, wallets and cameras go into them. I'll include a link to it below. It is small but it would be easy for even him to carry a water bottle and lightaber in, and it goes on rides with no issues.

PS the backpack is also fun to add pins too I even buy locking backs for my favorites and they have stayed on for years, it's the way we keep track of whose, whose at a glance because my BF and I have the same black one.
