Very Awesome.... I have stuff to buy from her too... BUT... we are hoping to buy the event poster at GG and have her sign it then... Getting On celebrity Autograph down before SWW official begins

Jason Fry! Of course he's there Weekend 2 when my SWW time is very limited. Looks like I am just not going to get any sleep!

Okay, I'm confused. At the bottom, it says "Limit TWO (2) items signed per Guest. We ask that you bring no personal items to be signed." Does that mean I can't bring my Star Wars Rebels Servants of the Empire books to be signed?

I have a little pouch filled with HU hang tags from clothing I've purchased over the years. She will sign those. Also any HU merchandise or hang tags from what you buy at DM. Just make sure you have your receipt. They won't let her sign prior to purchase.

Anything else is up to her discretion. Last year @alayne asked if she'd sign a Mia for her son and she did.

I don't go to the parks without my hat, hassle free hair.

I have curly hair so a bunch of mousse type stuff and I'm ready to go even in the humid weather!

On a side note have to take the cat to the vet today - he started scratching on his cheek this morning and now it looks awful - why does this sort of thing (pets falling apart) always happen right before a trip?

REALLY!? So even if I am buying something they will not let her sign my poster?

When I a buying her clothes I want to WEAR the clothes, and if she signs them I can't

Ashley is really nice and if you're not being super obvious that you want it signed while in line, she will sign it. Just ask her after she signs HU merchandise

The poster is HUGE, it's the event poster.... so it's not something I can hide...

Is this Disney or Ashley's law?

I don't know if she will be able to sign the event poster at the HU signings. If she is also signing autographs with the celebs, for sure she can sign that then.

I know what you mean the year we first met her we had get sign the shirt and hang tag. So later I ended up buying a 2nd shirt to wear.

It's what the cm will tell everyone in line. And what's written online in that link yulilin3 posted.

I'm thinking that during the GG it shouldn't be a problem. And you're buying something from HU.
If it was at regular merchandise singing times it might be a problem but not during the GG

A few Darth's Mall questions. This is the last piece of the puzzle for our plan!

-Where will it be located this year?
-What are generally the least busy times to visit? Morning, afternoon, evening? During the parade, maybe?
-How long might I have to wait to get in during a "slow" time? During a busy time?

It will be a "complex" of 3 stores. 2 of them will use the old Backlot Tour Prop Shop and Gift Shop (old AFI) the third will be the store right next to Studio Catering Co.
Avoid First Friday during the morning/early afternoon hours.
Best times will be first thing in the morning or late in the evening. They will probably close around 8:30pm because of fireworks fall out.
On a busy time you could be waiting to get in anywhere from 25 minutes to hours (especially First Friday)
On slow times it could be a regular walk in or maybe a 5 minute wait.
During parade would be considered a slow(ish) time

It was 52 when my son got on the bus this morning, in a t-shirt It's supposed to be 65 today and it will be one of the warmest days we have had since November, most people will be in t-shirts, possibly some shorts even. Last night I think it was in the 30's. We had negative temps pretty regularly here this winter as well . One day it was 35 and DH was out shoveling snow in a sweatshirt because it was so "warm"

It was really cold in TN over the winter too - we dropped below -10 quite a few times. 48 this morning and my boys went to school in shorts and t-shirts. Lol I am freezing at baseball in the evenings so I am looking forward to the FL heat in June!

Do they like Rebels, the cartoon on Disney XD? Have they watched any SW?

 

[Meech Loves Mickey]

Yes, they have seen everything! They are well versed in the SW Universe. I'm just trying to choose something that will capture their attention and that they will sit and behave for. I don't want to have to give them electronics to play with during a show. (no point in going if I have to do that!)

Will Darth's Mall have baskets for shopping?

I'll be sure to let you all know how that goes... As well as post stuff here and in my trip report

I would say Rebels as my first choice, which day are you coming, Fri., Sat. or Sun.?
