Few questions:

1. Do we still think (hope) that ADRs will open for Rebel Hanger tomorrow?
2. There are 3 locations for Darths Mall this year, will we have to queue independently for each one?
3. Is 7 new Star Wars t-shirts too much? I cant stop buying them...

I have hope there is ADR openings tomorrow for the Hangar but it is possible they will hold them for Monday. I am unsure on the queing for the mall but who knows. There is never too much star wars. Ever!

1.-Yes still hope...(I'm not sure)
2.- The ones inside the old afi gift shop will probably be one line for merchandise. The store right across from studio catering co is probably a second line, unless they manage close it in
3.- No 7 is not to much

Awesome!! I should get a lime green Mickey so we can spot each other while dashing around the mall!!

I remember them saying something like 7-7:45am, but I'm not 100% sure. I wish we would get that detailed email they mentioned when I booked!!



I do think VIP should have all day priority access for the cost, but I don't remember hearing or seeing that anywhere.

Again... I wish they'd hurry up and send the detailed itinerary email I was told we'd receive before the wknd is upon us...

When you get the email, please be sure to update us here. I am planning for next year now, while all of the info is still available. Thanks

I can only answer #3 with a resounding NO!...I currently have 6 and plan on buying more online BEFORE SWW and maybe some during SWW. Im' pretty sure 1/3 of my wardrobe consists of SW tee shirts. I'm a classy girl lol

I actually just bought one of the personalized t-shirts from Disney with R2D2 and C3PO. The only SW related tshirt I had was a Star Tours anniversary one. I do have 2 pairs of R2D2 knee socks. I had been buying SW shirts for DS and DH, and none for me.

They've had lots of experience with FSF and 2 of those buildings. During FSF, entering changed based on crowd levels. If it wasn't busy, you could enter from either from old AFI store or the AFI showcase building. All exit was from AFI store. If it was busy, you could only enter from the AFI showcase room.

The sliding doors worked by remote control by cm. The queue when busy was covered with a roof, but open. This was where Santa Goofy was moved when it rained during the holiday.

 

[soniam]

I wonder if Disney Store will have new SW items for May the Force or from SWW online.

 

[soniam]

Has anyone else here seen the Darth Vader/Girl from Ipanema burlesque routine? It's usually not very risqué but funny as all get out.

Thank you for the tip! (And as I'm catching up, I see congratulations are in order!)

When do the QS locations start getting busy? Right after the parade? Last year we did TS but felt it wasted a lot of time.

Incidentally, we were able to snag Rebels FP+ last night, so now we're holding both Rebels and SotS. We want to try for SotS from FtF, so anyone looking for FP+ should be checking the app around 10 AM as I'm sure we're not the only ones in that position. (Not expecting to be able to find a good replacement, but we will release them anyway.)

Very interested in the storm trooper watch if anyone can post a pic. Toys R Us and Target seem to carry some LCD kids ones and lots of Lego SW watches but I'm would love a great storm trooper watch for $8!

QS gets extremely busy right after the parade. So as soon as that's done go straight to your QS of choice. It stays busy until around 2pm

You should really fix that and indulge for yourself!

I asked. At this point nothing can be officially announced. Last year it was the Disney characters as SW characters and a couple stormtroopers. I was told to watch the GG merchandise event page for any new info. Last year there were rumors about which characters that didn't pan out. So I guess we'll actually find out that day.

Thank you!!! Are you attending GG?
