[Candleshoe]

Thank you - unfortunately wrong weekend for us

sorry


My MDE shows the H+V and Galactic breakfast under their star wars names, btw.

 

[AThrillingChase]

The galactic breakfast shows up on the website for me, but not the app. There it just shows as sci-fi

Got it, I didn't see it on the official SWW page, which I also have set for notifications

Woohoo! Another advantage of working from home.

Argh! I need to go to the cafe and get lunch but I want to listen to the music! (never mind that I own said music and could listen to it afterwards)

First-time poster to the DIS here. I am looking for some advice.

We are going to be at DW the opening day of Star Wars weekend. All I am interested in doing is taking in the atmosphere (looking at the characters, walking around with the throngs of people) and buying some merchandise. We don't need to go to any shows or ride any rides. We will spend the bulk of the day at Epcot or MK, since we have Park Hoppers.

My question: would we be better off going early in the day or afternoon/evening?

I know the crowds will be (somewhat) less in the morning, but I don't think that a lot of the characters will be out and about until after the 11 AM parade.

Thanks for the thread! I have really enjoyed it!

I would camp out a whole week to be able to meet John Williams

If you want to go inside Darth's Mall on the first Friday go in the evening.
The first Friday collectors make a line for hours to go inside and get some Limited Edition merchandise, it's not worth it unless you must have something LE
All the characters will be outside until around 8:30pm (if it doesn't rain)

How much time should I plan on for Darth's Mall? Standing in line to get in, getting through checkout, etc. We are going on Friday June 5th. We have Sci-Fi breakfast ressies at 8:10 and I am assuming an hour there, then we will head straight to the merchandise.

I don't anticipate a lot of perusing as I think I will likely be the only one in our group interested and I pretty much know what I will want....AP shirt, any pins left, a couple of toys for the hubby.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Off topic here, but I think some here will appreciate. My husband just told me that Doctor Who is coming to Disney XD. The series with the 10th doctor. I'm super excited about this because my son is developing an interest in the episodes on BBC and will be nice to have the show on "his " channel.

Big Dr Who fan here - have been since I discovered it on PBS back in the 80's when that was one of 5 television stations we got!

But to tie this into Starwars - When/how did everyone see the first (Episode IV) movie? I saw it at a drive in theatre with my cousin and my aunt the year it was released!

 

[lovingeire]

Four year old is currently asking me, has the Star Wars show started yet, over and over again since we got home! Wonder how long he'll stick with me watching it?

depends on how much browsing you are doing. It's a big place with lots to see. I usually take around 45 minutes to an hour just looking around. They have a lot of art pieces.
If you know what you are getting maybe 30 minutes tops
