OOO... At-At.

Free dining was released, trying to call for pretty much anything today is going to be impossible....or take forever

So, going by the way Disney does things, they will start the Cantina reservations today.

Parade viewing question. Some friends have the breakfast booked at 9:10am at Sci Fi. They really want to see the parade. Any suggestions for where they could watch starting at 10 or 10:15 or so? They haven't booked any FTF packages. The adults are willing to leave the breakfast early to secure a spot. Obviously the shaded areas are a no-go, but any thoughts on where they could go so the kids could actually see? Thanks sooo much!

at that point it's basically where ever they can find a spot. If the stage is centered with GMR they might catch a glimpse watching from the top of the stairs of the old AIE, if they want a close up spot then, anywhere along Hollywood Blvd they can find a spot

I'm looking for a Galactic breakfast on 6/13 or 6/14 for 2. Prefer a later time 9:30-11, but willing to take anything at this point! We have breakfast the same day as our 6/12 Feel the Force booked! If I can get an ADR for the 13/14, I will have 6/12 at 9:30 to share!

I sent you a PM!

I know the dates on pg1 say May15-June 14, but do we "know" if the Hangar will be weekends only? And I use the term "know" lightly...

Yeah that is what I read on pg 1, but it doesn't say weekends specifically, just the obvious first Friday and last Sunday as run dates. I was wondering if anyone had asked when they called. Not that any "answer" would be, well, an answer...

 

[Velvetme]

Is that promo shot official?!?! Omg I love it!!!

 

[HCinKC]

I suppose I should add, I am curious because it sounds like they are making physical adjustments for it, so I was wondering if they might be running it more than just Fri-Sun.

Check the quote below your own in my post. Your answer is in there from the description via info from Travel Agent and CMs who have read the descriptions to us when we asked.

no one knows, when I've called they've said is during the week and others say only weekends

Yes grabbed it from the Walt Disney World official fb page

Right, I know it says SWW, but that doesn't mean it would only be Fri-Sun. We have conflicting info on whether it is walk up or ressie, so I was wondering what info, if any, we had on just weekends or all week.

no one knows, when I've called they've said is during the week and others say only weekends

Thanks. That was what I was wondering, if anyone had even asked. I couldn't recall it being mentioned, but I haven't had my coffee yet. My brain is only partially functioning.

It doesn't make sense to me if they closed the area all the time, there's a huge lunch rush at Backlot Express during SWW and I don't see them blocking usable space for the Hangar. But if they want to make it feel right, the right theming I mean then they will have to block it off. Unless they are super fast, close the area around 2pm and have it all ready by four. I guess that's doable

I know it's supposed to be a Jedi Mickey, but it looks like a Lego Mickey to me!

Great picture, though!

My autograph books came on Sat and I couldn't look at them until this morning. They are so cute thanks to the great DISigners! I put their fav characters on the back and a background page with each autograph page for pics later. I also included a few of the journal pages so they can write notes.
