I have a DPP FTF reservation for 2 on Sunday, May 24 I need to cancel. PM to coordinate. I would like to cancel tonight. Feel free to share this on Facebook or anywhere else.

ty! Shared on facebook page Someone wll be very lucky! I'm still searching for deluxe on the 12th, lol.

I'm 15 pages behind, but I just wanted to post my update from tonight. From about 5:40pm to 6:40pm tonight, we enjoyed the Rebel Hangar! We saw 3 Storm Troopers, Chewie, 2 Jawas and a guy I wasn't sure about (bald with big eyes)? I'm embarrassed to say I wasn't sure who he was? We had great photo ops with all the characters and the interaction was really fun! The drinks were delicious and the food was average. If any of you are on the fence about going or not - go for it! It was a blast!

some of our shirts we made for SWW weekend V, if you see us say "Hi"!

prob a cantina band member

I'm feeling like a proud mama. We've been watching the movies a lot recently, getting excited and ready for SWW, and now my almost 3 year old keeps running around humming the music. I think he's going to be just as excited as we are to meet the characters.

As yulilin said... we bought lime aid for the kids and added the cubes.

Thank you ladies! They will be very happy to have their own drinks with cubes!

We had the exact same characters as you when we went to RH on Monday. Don't be embarrassed; I too was not sure who that alien was until DH told me it was a Bith in pilot's uniform. Glad you had fun!

I'm so happy you had an awesome time!!. Thank you for sharing your day experiences with us.

Looks like we're hailing a cab in front of BWV at 0430 next Friday. Thanks

as long as you're at the entrance by 7:15am you'll be fine to do the Chewie run. (make sure to watch the video on page one to take the best route to get in his line) I'm not sure at what time the Chipwoks come out but they don't have a long line at all, so after Chewie and the ewok you can go to the Chipwoks.
Does anyone remember at what time the Chipwoks came out?

Chipawoks came out early as I recall..8 am...I think you will be fine if you move it to Chewie and the Ewok (we saw Logray on Friday) and then go to the chipawoks.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words regarding our kitty Bullseye. DD said 'disboards really is like a family'.

is this the deluxe premuim? if it is im interested.. i have no idea how to message you...

I was able to add another person to my galactic breakfast by calling and asking! Pixie dust! We are doing the whole weekend so I'd love another galactic before 9:30am on weekend IV (fri,sat,sun) and RH anytime. Both for party of 4. If anyone drops any.

got home late last night - missing SWW and Disney already but it was nice to sleep in our own beds!

Got up bright and early this morning to take DH to work and for DD and I to pick up the animals (3 cats, 2 dogs) from my parent's house. 2 cats hid (typical they don't like riding in their crates) - so took one home and the dogs will go back for the other 2 later today (they'll be hungry by then...)

Anyway get the cat home and let him out of his carrier; unload the dogs, dog crate, toys, food etc. from the car - then I went upstairs to start some laundry (always a priority)....I hear the cat making this kind of yowling noise - like nothing I've ever heard before. I find him on the floor in obvious distress. Grab the credit card, pick up the cat - put him back in the carrier and call the vet to let them know we are coming in for an emergency visit....cat died on the way to the vet.....I know not what you all wanted to read but I had to get it out. Vet says he probably threw a clot. Poor kitty (his name was Bullseye after the horse in Toy Story) - he was the one that had the abcess ($$$$) right before our trip. So glad we got him from my parents house but SO sad.

I have to catch up on posts at some point - I miss you all and hope that everyone going this weekend has a great time.

I did talk to a manager type person at DHS regarding the SWW rotating character line situation and he seemed to understand my points. I'm also going to send in an e-mail when I get it together.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets are like family. I hope you and your family are doing ok!

We arrive tomorrow and I just finished our magic bands for the weekend. Mine is the one with the glitter. The one with R2D2 is for my boyfriend.


And here is one I made for my birthday

Yes it is. You need 10 posts to PM. I have no idea what time disney phone lines close for making ADRS but the DPP has to be booked by phone. If you want to coordinate, I can hold it until tomorrow while you get to 10 posts but won't have too much availability to release it. You can probably get to 10 posts tonight and we can try for a transfer soon. Let me know.

Awesome

 

[jacksmommy]

I am thinking the parade is probably out. Last year we were eating at Sci-Fi during it. So now that the time is opened what we be our best use of that time? I guess there are no character meets then - which is the main priority for my kids. So any suggestions? Thanks so much!

yulilin3 can I ask a question that you have probably answered already? The info on page #1 shows a suggested time to arrive for a place in line for a wrist band and fp for an auto, are the times assigned like regular fp, next available and you won't know what time the star is signing until they hand you the fp, right? And does the fp have a window like other fp?

And yes, that was actually two questions wasn't it....

 

[JimBo Fett]

great review. I'll put the link on the first post

This is really super, I'm feeling good about the DPP, thanks for posting the link!

 

[boricuajedi]

this is my 10th post lol

Same thing happen to me, my 10 post was showing as seven!

 

[JimBo Fett]

We were told no a

We paid with our Disney Visa - I asked and was told no. I'd personally wait for more reports, as I do for most things. Possible that we got wrong info.

We also were told no and no for Tables in Wonderland when we made ADR, didn't sound right. CM put me on hold to ask.

 

[Itinkso]

this is my 10th post lol

You are only showing 8 posts. After you get to 10, you'll need to wait about 30 minutes before DISboards allows you to PM. Good luck!
