great report, and hey, I'm there in the picture of the fp line for Mark Hamill

Yes I have a couple of you!

Probably have more of us on here in the park opening crowd and parade shots.

It was great meeting you too. I remember how hot it was that day we were waiting outside the theatre and thankfully we had those umbrellas to stand under. You'd been repeatedly warning about the heat but it's so hard to capture in photos or explain well enough to really understand it.

Great pics of the dessert party btw. We arrived well after dark and it was pretty crowded in that section. I didn't realize they had that many tables set up but unfortunately we were too late to grab one.

This series is having a great start. Disney is def. putting a lot of marketing behind it.

Really? That's great! Were they in the zoomed shots?

I can't wait to post the rest of the pics. I'm sure a lot of us are in the parade viewing section for Feel the Force that Friday, 6/6/14.
I remember several of us booking it for that weekend.

 

[lovethattink]

That might be the day that yulilin's dd and I watched the parade together?

I don't think so cause the 6th was a Friday and I only went Saturdays and Sundays

 

[Skywise]

I was there on the 6th!

Did anybody get any photos of the death star glo ice cubes? I so wanted to get one but they were sold out by that weekend.

I have the death star glo ice cubes still at home... saved them. I sent a reminder to myself to take a picture of them and post it

Did you get them the weekend of the 6th or earlier?

We got them early. First one at the Rebel Rendezvous. At one point they ran out of both. And gave glow cubes instead.

So, I realize this is an impossible question to answer (considering no one even knows when "summer" means at the moment, lol) but in general, is there a BEST week to go to SWW?

Is 1 week less crowded than another? Generally it goes over Memorial Day weekend - is that notoriously more crowded or does it really depend on celebrity guests?

It'll be my and my 7 year old so I really doubt he'll be super into meeting celebrities. Is there a week in which the OTHER parks are more or less crowded?

I'm really trying to figure out when to go, but I have no idea where to even start! I think I'll try to hit parts of 2 weekends (maybe go Sat to Sat) but that still leaves lots of possibilities!!

Thanks!!

Opening day is always busy. Merchandise is especially hard to get to opening morning. Lines begin over night.

Saturdays are typically the busiest day of the weekend.

After Memorial Day it gets more crowded, hotter and more humid.

You can check Touring Plans or EasyWDW for crowd calendars. I think KTP has a crowd calendar too.

The celeb makes a difference in attendance too.
