You can tell them that they sent you from the ap distribution. They told me yesterday i could go to dvc with my ap for the yoda one.
I think we got him on video :)
Thanks!! My husband just went over there and told them what you suggested while staring at the huge box of them and was told sorry they are for DVC members only. Oh Well can't win them all!!
 
I have a question. Are the personalized nametags passholder exclusives? I read that somewhere. I will be sad if they are!
There are 3 Nametags this year, one red for the Empire, one blue for Rebellion and a black one for pass holders. If you see a pass holder walking around, ask them to get you a black one. I get them for people every year for non pass holders and cast members. Anyone can get the Red or Blue ones. You can spot some pass holders by the Passholder Sliders on Magic Bands. (I don't wear a slider) That is, if you want a black one, which you do since it means you are cool. Red and blue ones are cool too, but not Awesomely Black cool.
 

Can anyone tell me if the Annual Passholder Star Wars Weekends T-shirts are sold out? I am going next Sunday and would like to get one if at all possible. Thanks and May The Force Be With You.
 
They give you a black page of sticker letters to make the name. If it isn't in the package go back and ask for one.
Hmm, it was not in the package. Good idea though. I MUST fly back down from KS to get it, just in time for Weekend 4 of course...:rolleyes1:lmao:

Has anyone used the bus from CBR to HS on a SWW? We would like to be there for the opening show and rope drop. Will we be able to get a bus that early and how much time should I plan to get there?
We used it weekend 1 but never for SWW rope drop. The earliest we caught one was 7am, and according to the driver it had been running earlier. You can ask...concierge may be more reliable. The front desk told us an hour before park opening for all buses, but that was not true. We found it to be at least an hour and a half. We never had to wait long either, usually about 5 minutes, sometimes 10. One time we did wait almost half an hour, but that was mid afternoon on a non-SWW day. HS seemed like the most common bus coming by, and we were generally there within about 15 minutes of getting on. (We were in Jamaica which was always 1st on and 1st off for us, so that time included looping the resort.) Coming back after fireworks wasn't a big deal either. We made it onto the third bus, but they were coming pretty quickly. What actually made the wait long was that there were several wheelchairs/scooters going back. Can't help that though.

Figures! The black one was the one I wanted! Hopefully I'll be able to ask someone if they're willing to help me. Do you remember the price? I would like to form some sort of "budget I should bring, but will probably go over." :rotfl:

I'm going later to take a video of the merchandise that's available. The ap holder shirt was there yesterday

Thanks. I was there last weekend and didn't even know they had them until I saw some one wearing one back at POP. Not a huge deal but I would like to get one and the poster as well. Plan on being there at rope drop and heading straight to Darth's Mall. I wasn't sure if they sold them all until they sell out or if they bring in inventory for each weekend.
 
We are heading to cold stone then back to resort. Too humid and hot today. How to make it back for fireworks!


Pictures from yesterday. Sorry for the amount of them, Stephanie loves to get different reactions of the celebrities during the shows. There are pics of the Rebels and Stars of the Sags shows. As well as a new "make your own postcard" station and X Wings Collectibles. You can pick a background, different stickers and just write a message and send it to any email (for free) The african american guy holding a blaster with Steph is a YouTuber she watches called Swoozie (watch his videos on being a Disney CM they are funny). An improptu photoshoot inside ToT, and of course, the character meet dream team. I'll post the relevant ones individually in the next couple of posts
Report on Darth's Mall lines: non existent through out the day. We went in the morning, before the parade and in the evening

We wondered how we missedthe postcard station. Good to know it's new.

This is the JTA line, ONE MINUTE after park opening, all the way down to H&V restaurant and curving, the people back here probably took 40 minutes to sign their kids up

In the meantime no one was signing kids up for PMC

Steve Blum was beyond awesome. Stephanie kept naming all the stuff she's heard him in and he just said at the end: Wow you are a serious gamer :)

after this picture Rachel Bartlett approached Stephanie, the conversation started like this:
Rachel: Hi I'm Rachel Bartlett from LucasFilm
Stephanie (shaky voice): Hi I'm Stephanie from Orlando
:D she told her that she loved her costume and was very impressed she made it herself. She said that she does casting for SW events all over but that she would be too young now, but to keep up the good work. She took a pic and said that she would try to get it up on the SW official; website

I see the AT-AT shirt! Itv looks good on you.
 
Not sure if this has been reported yet but was told by CM today that the teal women's SWW tank top is sold out. Of course it was the only item on my list. :(

I went on May 23rd and they were sold out of the Passholder 2XL size shirt.
 
I'm outside the SOS show waiting for my husband and I just tried to get a Yoda poster at the DVC stand and they would not let me with my AP bummer. But they were still giving out boba at the poster handout
 
@d-r oh that would be so great! We actually did try and ask them if we could get 2 from them (even offered to trade lol) but to no avail =/
Let me know when and we will meet up with you. Thank you so much!

I'm sorry I just saw this and we've already left. Are you here next weekend? PM me.

My kids did PMC today and had a great time.
 
Does anyone know if the PhotoPass shot with Jedi Mickey is included with the H&V meal, either digital or print? My server told me it was not included, but I thought I read somewhere that it was....
