I can send you the link to the FB page I was referring to once I am at home. FB is blocked here.

It is one that was giving info about the Celebration in CA as well as SWW in FL.

At the galactic breakfast are there just photo ops with Vader, Fett etc? Do they do any autographs?

Thanks in advance.

Vader and Boba Fett were at the entrance of SciFi for photo ops. They can't roam the restaurant because it is too dark for them and their vision is obscured by their masks. Last year, all characters signed autographs.

Stormtroopers, Greedo, and one or two Jawas roamed the restaurant last year and posed for photos. Jawas traded with guests.

All Character Dining has changed and photos are no longer provided "free" with the purchase of the meal. Everything is digitally loaded to your Photopass account, your MDE, or to Memory Maker. If you have Memory Maker, you don't have to pay for the photo. If you don't have Memory Maker, you can access the photo through the Photopass account or your MDE and you can pay for it that way. Photo packages are no longer offered at Character Dining thanks to Memory Maker.

It's been confirmed that Billy Dee Williams will be at SWW. (Didn't say what weekend(s) yet, but that he will be there.) OH, and Jeremy Bulloch for the 1st weekend in June. Just saw that one too on a FB Star Wars Weekends page.

Where is this wonderful news coming from?

It's SWW rumors FP page (just did some googling). And there is a post that says, per Billy Dee Williams managment, he will NOT be at SWW (right after the one that says he will be).

So the rumors seem...unreliable.

 

[Itinkso]

not sure which fb page you're talking about

This is from the Star Wars Weekends Tips and Rumor Fb page:
"SO...a lot can happen in the course of 24 hours...just ask Kiefer Sutherland. (ha) IN all seriousness, Billy Dee Williams will NOT be attending Star Wars Weekends 2015 according to a recent email from his manager. Sorry to everyone..."

It appears the light saber magic bands available to attendees is not free. It's showing at $29.99? Or is that for additional bands?

Well, drats. Sorry bout that! That is the FB page I was talking about though...

One is free, but you can order extras. Per Steven Miller:

The lightsaber MagicBands can be linked later. Attendees will have an opportunity to pre-order one additional lightsaber MagicBand of the side they chose and two additional of the side they did not choose.

 

[rpcvpanama]

I think that is for the additional bands. I can't decide whether to go or not. Seems absurd to pay $250 to be able to shop. But I love that magic band!!

take a look at this link, it has the merch catalog for the even and pricing, including the bags.

We collected those and lightsabers.... we stayed on property and walked to BWI so we weren't worried

 

[OZMom]

What does it mean that it's available for purchase by random selection?
