If you set one up I would email and see if you can get a refund if there service isn't actually checking for it, even if it let you select breakfast. I agree that it is misleading and you shouldn't be paying them for nothing.

I am in this situation, I think I am going to email them. Thanks so much to everyone for all the wonderful info.! So helpful.

On Letterman tonight on CBS, special Star Wars guests will be appearing. Letterman begins his final shows leading to his finale so it should be pretty special if you've seen the line up as to the guests who are booked for these final weeks.

Letterman Show Tweets out more info: Star Wars Top Ten with a couple of famous Droids - tonight!

Has anyone ordered from this company before? Thoughts on it? DH wants this Jedi Tunic and I want to surprise him for his bday

Hey sorry I'm late to reply. I Cosplay a bit and have heard of this site. The only issue with these sites are that they are based in China and communication can be pretty difficult and you'll have a long wait for its arrival.

I'm not an advertiser but I have bought recently a Jedi costume from this etsy seller. Check em out and that goes for everyone they're based in Florida

I have never ordered from either, but they both look like nice quality. I have seen other shops on Etsy selling Jedi costumes, too. I would advise reading shipping policies on any site you are looking at. Depending on your weekend, you may be cutting it close. I would guess most will take about two weeks to make a custom plus an additional week to arrive. Etsy may be more flexible if you convo the seller. You might be able to get something expedited. Cool idea though! Lucky hubby.

As a first time SWW attendee, are the talk shows only between host and guest or is there any sort of Q&A (nothing big, even, just like a couple of pre-submitted, approved questions from audience members)? I am assuming "no", but I would really like to know if/how the Chewbacca costume made life wonderful or terrible for Peter Mayhew on set in Norway and Tunisia...perhaps even surprisingly what we might not expect.

I was showing ODS a video of the custom lightsaber build. I thought I could hear the CM say that the double only lights up on one side...true?

I really like Tee Fury. They take lots of my money. And that shirt is great!

Sorry, no Q&A.

My friend emailed DDB about this as we have the same watch and I was notified and she wasn't. They said they periodically check different watches. So they're not checking each one constanly as Disney's servers don't account for that. So they might check mine right now and yours a few minutes later. It's a bit of luck of te draw really.

This is disappointing. Obviously I understand that it can't be checking every minute of every day, but I had stopped my own obsessive searching once I signed up. Guess I need to start up again!

I have a question about ride lines. Can you walk through the line for the ride then not ride the ride? The reason being I have never been to DHS and was really really looking to ride ST but recently found out that I am pregnant so I still wanted to walk through the attraction with my husband but just not ride the ride.

If you can check your text messages and log in with your phone then it's worth it. They'll text you a link and when you click it takes you directly to the reservation website (note this is the website not to MDE app), then you log in and make the reservation. I've gotten one for Jedi Mickey for Saturday 30th, and am still waiting on one for Galactic Breakfast for Sunday (early). If you want one for the weekend those are hard so if you get the text you pretty much have to log in right away (you can use your phone) to get it, but if you are looking for one during a weekday that might be easier and the reservation spot may still be available later.

This may be hard to believe but there is absolutely no cell service available where I teach in northeast PA. And we cannot log our personal devices onto the wifi either. I'll have to think about it with my limited access. Thanks for everyone's thoughts!

Yes you can walk all of the queues and then leave, there are "chicken doors" at the end of all queues

There used to be years ago where the audience could ask questions but that hasn't happened in a couple of years

Awesome - Thank you!!

At the end of this video, he lights up the double saber and only one side lights up.

 

[yulilin3]

Just one side lights up
