After the SOTS show we wanted to try to meet Anakin so we went back to the Jedi Council area. We had just got in line when I checked the DISboards and saw that Boba Fett steins had been spotted at that little stand. Stephanie went running off while I waited at the Council. She said the line was pretty long and the one lone CM manning the stand looked overwhelmed. They'd only got one box in but luckily Stephanie got 2. She made it back to me with a few minutes to spare and luckily we ended up getting to meet Anakin!! I wanted to meet him again this year because I thought I'd thought up a very clever line and I was going to ask him what his thoughts were on sand (since he has that awful line comparing Padme to sand in Attack of the Clones). So I asked him what his thoughts were on sand, and I swear the CM gave a super quick smirk and thought it was funny, but then he got super serious very quickly and was like 'no, I don't like sand, I don't like it at all.' I thought it was all very funny, then he asked us to give a secret message to Padme so we all played up the seriousness of it and I was like 3 people can keep a secret if two are dead, then got really nervous and was like don't get any ideas Annie (I think I am hilarious, obviously).
Next up we got the Vader and Stormtrooper magic shots. It was time to try for another characterpalooza, and this time it was at 6:10 again at the TOT gates and we saw a lot of characters, though no super rare ones. On this trip we really wanted to try for Brian and my white whales, Robin Hood and Mushu.
Then we tried to stalk Chopper with a little help from a certain DISser, we waited for him when he left the PMC show, but sadly Chopper had a universe to save and he could not stop to get a picture with me
I'm pretty sure we did some more stuff here but I forget. Anyway, we checked into Rebel Hanger a few minutes early but were seated on time.
We were seated on one of the upper levels next to the ledge by the ramp. I set Chopper out on the ledge as a character lure (don't anyone laugh at me, that worked more than once). Anyway we put in our food order and were excitedly checking out the decorations and making our table Han Solo shoot at stuff when I looked up and saw Ezra and Sabine headed up the ramp towards us. I lost my mind and started pointing at my stuffed Chopper and shouting 'look Sabine, its Chopper!'. My insaneness worked though, they deigned to stop and speak with us. I told them Chopper had found us a little while ago and he was upset that he'd saved all the crew of the Ghost and that he barely got a thanks, so he was running away. Then I told them that I thought Chopper was just looking for attention and we all had a nice chat. Then we asked for a picture and Stephanie fell in love with Ezra's eyes. I think she developed quite the crush.
We didn't see any more characters during the meal but we were pretty ecstatic since Ezra and Sabine are pretty rare.
Food: Between the 4 of us, we ordered most of the menu items and all the alcoholic drinks. Everything was delicious, there was not a bad item on that menu! I was mostly disappointed with the food this trip (I threw away 2 different pasta dishes from the All Stars food court, and I love pasta) but this place was the exception.
Atmosphere: They did such a good job with this place!! So many cool things to walk around and look at. And I loved all the table center pieces.
Characters: we only saw 2, but boy were we happy to see them!
Extras: I liked that this place gives you the opportunity to maybe see characters but the food is much cheaper than a character buffet. I spoke to a manager who came by and said that I hoped they'd keep it open all the time and she agreed and said she'd pass on my comments to her higher ups. Our waiter loved it too, he said he normally worked at 50s Prime Time but he was really enjoying the Rebel Hangar.
Also a funny thing happened at dinner, we saw JAT's driver, who if you've seen the SOTS he showed a picture and the driver Disney gives him looks like JAT's twin. So we called the look alike CM over and joked with him and asked for pictures. We then tweeted the pics of us with him and said we'd met JAT with the hashtags #swwwekends, #SOTS and JAT. JAT actually responded later that night and tagged the CM and said 'have you been posing as me again?!' It was so funny and I love that JAT responds to fans' tweets. What a good guy.
After that there wasn't much time before fireworks so we popped into a Rebels recap show and took pics with the statues of Chopper, Ezra and Sabine.
Then we came out and sat near Gertie the dino for fireworks, watched the amazing show and were done for the night.
my DH ordered me a great pin that looks just like the movie online so I could wear it with my 1960s retro beehive outfit to the premiere last week. Now I wear it whenever I go to MK or HS. I'll be the chick at SWW sporting my sci fi brand. Btw I heard you can buy the shirts and pins at HotTopic. Thanks a lot Disney! Missed opportunity. Let's all go shop at the mall...?
Very glad we had pre-purchased memory maker. Our camera never turned up.
