I also got my weekend 1 magic band today. I got orange and am going to attempt to give Mickey Ahsoka's facial lines and write "Ahsoka Lives" on it. We'll see how well that goes! [/QUOTE]

Originally my MBs for weekend 1 had a shipping date of the 16th but they're still on my account able to be customized should I be worried?

You're awesome!! When you are taking a picture of the Premium parade spot, can you check the shade in that area or do you already have an idea if it is in the shaed or not around parade time?

The shade is spotty in the area of the standard ftf if it's where I expect it to be. More shade to the right less as you head closer to the stage. By 11, the shade recedes and there is less. The deluxe package should have shade the whole time (or most of the time) if it's at the entrance gate.

if anyone is watching the Ray Park panel these are the exact clips that they have used for Visit to the Maul I thought they would show something new

You could call. Sometimes they get stuck in processing mode but the CM can release them. I check in on 5/13 and they shipped on 4/14.

I just got my weekend 1 bands today. It said they shipped a few days ago.

Maybe they'll have something new for SWW this year?? Would seem odd to have too much of the same stuff in one year -- wonder how much audiences overlap for the two events?

I've been enjoying it -- never saw any of it before.

At Celebration VI there was quite a bit of overlap between SWW and Celebration shows. The notable exception was Warwick Davis' show. My son loves the one he does at Disney. We went to his costuming show at CVI and it was way to intense for him. It was completely different and fascinating. He showed how he was transformed into different characters for different movies. Also pictures and video of his daughter her who has worn some amazing costumes which require extreme measures for getting transformed into the character.

This is where the shade will be for the standard premium package. Of course, these pictures are from FSF, but same time period for parade.

 

[lovethattink]

And this is where I think the Deluxe package will be, fully shaded through most if not all of parade viewing, until you follow the rope to the stage, then full sun.

I've gone blank, what's the building behind you? As you walk INTO the park (through the turnstyle, towards the not-there-hat), which side of hte street is this on? Or is it further in the park than that?

 

[AuntieK]

Did we ever find out how many deluxe packages there are per day? That area look small.

 

[yulilin3]

I'm really hoping this is the area for the DPP...many times I called and was told it was across the street by the entrance to Mickey's of Hollywood. I'll take pictures of both areas.

Just got my magic bands!!

 

[OZMom]

<<< Weekend 1 magic bands in hand Now off to Michael's for paint pens to decorate. I'm going to attempt to make mine look like a purple lightsaber...if you see me with star wars duct tape covered band on the 15th, you'll know I failed

no, we never found out. Disney is very secretive when releasing numbers
