awesome, thanks! Can you recommend a taxi or cab company to fit 5 of us, 1 being a 4 yr old needing a car seat?? Thanks!! Gonna try to leave at 5:45



awesome! I really want a wristlet, how much are they?? Hope they still have them the last friday (weekend V)

They use Mears cab on property. Have them call one for you or preschedule one at the bell services. They should have a car seat available in the cab, just make sure to put that in the request.

also, anyone know if the FP for the shows for SWW is better seating, or is the seating to 1 show that is in the Premium Package better?
Trying to figure out which show to pick... have FP for Oz already and going to try to sign up kids for VttM which I think if they do we sit closer too (which we have FP to already as well).
How early would yall show up to the shows with FP??
Thanks!! Cant wait to hear how the show and dessert party was tonight, been watching the castle shows live on youtube getting in the mood.....

Has anyone else noticed that Week 4 really only has two stars? Ashley is listed as the third, however, she was at SWW week one and wasn't listed as one of three stars. I'm a little bummed about that actually.

Ashley Eckstein is definitely a Star Wars Star. The character she portrayed on Clone Wars and now on Rebels is one of the most compelling and important characters in the Star Wars Universe. She sparked a rebellion! Ahsoka Tano is one of the few characters that develops and grows with the audience and her Jedi skills are some of the greatest seen on screen. Her Jedi talents make Luke Skywalker look like Jar Jar Binks. And most importantly, Ashley's commitment to fandom with the creation of Her Universe has helped thousands of fangirls find a place within a heavily male dominated sub culture. For Shame!

At 2:30 there were plenty of Boba Fett steins at the Ice Cold stand by the entrance today.

At 6:30 there was no line for xwings, practically empty, but 15 min line for Grotto's so I skipped it. Storm troopers were out and about and... What? Flight of the navigator ship over the hedge? I was almost tempted by a D&B clutch, but settled on the Mickey lightsaber band. I also got my SWW 2015 pin. Found it at the gift shop on the main blvd by the entrance.

Akl tomorrow, then home!

I am attending SWW next weekend with my 7 year old son (who has developed a recent interest in star wars over the past year) and my husband. We are pretty much going for our son to experience all that is star wars at Disney lol
We are APs and I have read about this posters and I have looked into character meet and greet times and locations. But there is SOOOOO much information to take in I feel a little overwhelmed! I am trying to get a game plan to follow for the event (we are attending Saturday and Sunday next weekend). ANY and ALL tips/advice will be so very much appreciated!
And btw, we are not concerned with any of the celebrity meet and greets. Our plans will be geared toward our 7 year old =)
I also have read about the Rebel Hangar dining with the Rebel characters and am interested in this. Is this something I need a reservation for and how would I attain one? Or is it a quick service place?
Sorry for all the questions, I am always on top of my Disney info and know my plans before I even know I need Disney plans lol But I am so out of my element with SWW and I want to make it a great experience for my son.

you can join the facebook group for dining and package cancellations and transfers if you want, link is in my signature...

Oh thank you for that info! I didn't know such a page existed! lol So I assume then that the RH is reservation required and you are able to make these via Disney app?

Oh cool! I knew they did at the Lego store in DTD on the first Tuesday of every month. Had no idea it was in the park. Is it an all day thing? Absolutely something we will be doing!

Fridays 1-6pm / sat & sun 10am-5pm. Per a sign out front of the store someone posted...

 

[pookadoo77]

only Fri, sat, sun. during SWW.... at listed times, pics were from last weekend. Its a long table you have 1 instruction at a time laid out with cups of that piece and "move along" (hahaha, had to do that) down the table and build a small gray ship. Dont recall which ship it was, anyone remember? TY!

RH is now daily through the end of SWW if that helps since you are a AP. Some reports of being able to walk up and eat inside, there is also a outside walk up area. Seems most characters stop @ 7pm though. I do disney site via internet on my phone, app always messes up!

Also, AP's get a free SWW mini poster, I forgot where you pick them up at, need your AP and ID I think. I would try earlier the better. Different poster each week. Boba Fett this week...

 

[pookadoo77]

Thanks @mesaboy2 , brain overload with end of school and vacation looming..... you know where to get the AP posters? TY
