Dax Lightspeed and I were talking on Twitter that we need Freddie Prinze Jr to come and he favorited our tweets, so at least he knows we're missing him

They do give a limited number of standby. Just keep in mind you have to sit and wait in the sun through all the signing sessions hoping that you will get in. And they take standby in the order of their tickets, so even if you waited there a long time, they will take any lower number that shows up by the time they get to standby.

do you know how many standbys they've been giving out? I heard that not a lot, like in years past

I'm excited to be taking my nephew! He's 9 and extremely excited for Sci Fi breakfast. I'm a little anxious because DH's birthday is a couple days later, so I'm surprising him with a Darth Vader cake. He's not a big sweets person, but hopefully he'll like it. It'd be better (in DH's opinion) if it was Boba Fett or Chewy, but they said they didn't have those images.

I'm getting a Chewy cake. It's possible. It won't have a 2D image, but they can mimic his hair and belt on a cake.

See, everyone would get in line for Freddie Prinze Jr, but I'd prefer to meet my childhood idol, SMG. Because Buffy was my obsession in middle-high school.

Yes!! Buffy would be so cool to meet

If you're there at rope drop any of the days, could you please see how the VttM signups are looking? I'm curious on how bad the lines are and how quickly the spots fill up. Thank you!!!

We will be headed straight to PMC sign ups on Sunday rope drop ... I think it's in the same-ish location. I'll post about how it goes.

I would have 3 full sets except I didn't get Return of the Jedi. Not one! We got 16 boxes and I said that was enough. I would be willing to trade an Attack of the Clones for a Return of the Jedi if the offer still stands.

YES! We would love to trade with you - I will PM you with details. Thank you!

Great Googily Moogily. Maybe I will just have to settle for Boba Fett's autograph on my stein instead.

4) For someone who's not a morning person, is the Stormtrooper Welcome worth it? How does it compare to the Pre-Show before Stars of the Saga? I have FOMO and kind of want to see everything, but I also don't really want to be at HS from 7:30am to 10:00pm. That just seems like too long of a day to spend in the sun.

We had planned on doing RD Saturday morning, and ODS was confident he wanted to be there early for it. We stayed for fireworks Friday night (weekend 1, so they started later). On the way back to the hotel, he had 100% changed his tune and wanted to sleep in. He did not regret it the next morning. We would be glad to see it after an early night though.

Quick RH question (or any adult beverage experience). Do they card you there on site or is that info linked through the MB for staff to verify? Just trying to see how much I can leave in our room and NOT carry with us. Thanks!

We were not carded, and I usually do get carded. The (clearly) younger people at the table next to us were all carded.

that's why it's so important to contact them by email, being good or not so good. They will call you back if you leave a number, and even if they can't do anything about it, whatever it is you talk about will be heard and the information relayed to the proper people.

Actually, would you mind giving that email again? I wanted to write them about Rebel Hanger and offer my thoughts that it should be kept the same/similar rather than turned into a more expensive experience...assuming they keep it at all.

Not many but I dont know exact numbers. They have been keeping everyone in their own little space. Plus we have been at the front lf the lines at night so we are in the park before they get to standby.

We are not morning people either but we were happy we got up for RD last weekend, the stormtrooper welcome show was pretty funny, but what really made it worth it was that we were able to see the welcome show, meet chewie, meet all 4 of the fab 4, pick up our passholder posters and get everything we wanted from Darth's Maul (which may or may not have included popcorn and alcohol for breakfast ) all before 10:30am. It was also a really fun atmosphere at park opening, it just felt exciting and full of anticipation).

Nothing like the anticipation at HS for SWW

I was over at DHS around 1:30 and Linda Skywalker was there and settlng in for the weekend. I should have left a chair with her to hold our spots.

Where can I get a SWW map for this weekend? We are at pop and I can't find one.

I'd also like to know how quickly they fill up. I'm going to try and get there first thing before our galactic at 8:05, but if I don't please let me know how bad it was

ask at the front desk. If not then it would just be tomorrow

Ok, I spent hours looking. I have some questions about the Feel the Force Deluxe premium package. If anybody has done this this year please chime in!

1: Does anyone know if there's a review of this package? I can't find one.
2: Are the DPP and DP viewing areas for the parade and fireworks different from each other? In fact, where ARE the viewing areas for the DPP?
3: Shows- where is the seating for the shows and how early do you need to show up?
4: Details about the fireworks- when do you need to show up, eat before or after, can you make it to the second Fantasmic?

Thanks all!

***? This doesn't make sense at all! Do not like.

I miss the big giant green rabbit man myself.
