Hey Gang Think Geek http://www.thinkgeek.com/ is having a 20% off sale on Star Wars stuff until midnight May the 4th!

Some Her Universe is out there, with a lot of cool shirts, clothing and other fun toys....

My wallet is crying I am shopping my rear off :P

Ah man, I jumped the gun! Just ordered my ewok tank from them last week lol. I'm up to 3 new SW shirts bought specifically for wearing to SWW ;)
 
Please give me your thoughts (Sat. June 13):

Opening Storm the Gates
8:00-9:15 - Meet & Greet (Chewie, Darth Maul)
9:15-9:45 - ST, MuppetVision, HISTK playground (can be split up between 2 adults and 3 boys: age 10 - huge Muppet fan not SW fan, age 6 huge SW/moderate Muppet fan, and age 2)
9:45-10 - FtF check-in at Min & Bill's
10-11 - Motorcade viewing location
11-11:30 - Motorcade and welcome
11:30-3:00 - Pizza Planet, Darth's Mall, D-Tech (2pm appt/1:45 "arrival time"), additional M&G's (?)
3:00-3:45 - SotS (FP+)
3:45-5:00 - Additional M&G's and/or Hangar (??)
5:00-5:45 - Frank Oz (FP+) - (potentially only 1 adult and DS10 while taking DS6 and DS2 for M&G's, and/or ST)
6:00-7:00 - QS dinner meal (Hangar??)
7:00-7:45 - Obi-Wan and Beyond (FtF)
8:45(?) - check-in for FtF dessert party
9:30 - Symphony in the Stars fireworks

When it comes to M&G's, we already have ADR's for Galactic Breakfast and Jedi Mickey for earlier in the week and hope to have JTA for earlier in the week. (We also plan to have ST and MuppetVision done in our Thursday non-SWW day, along with all the regular DHS stuff, so these would be extras on the favorites.) Obviously the Hangar situation/announcement will determine how we do that either before or after Oz and how much time to allocate for that. My major question mark is between the Motorcade and SotS. We just couldn't squeeze Pizza Planet into Thursday, DS6 wants 2 BYO Lightsabers, we don't need any LE stuff, but we do want to be able to have enough time to look around good. Does that slot give us enough time or should we really count on needing more time to go back to the Mall later (after SotS?). Re: M&G's, DS6 couldn't really prioritize who he wants, except he hasn't really shown extreme interest in Rebels (though he does watch it, he's not obsessed with it), so those characters can be lowest priority - otherwise, is there ample time for getting all of the other characters, complete with inevitable breaks for the kids and waiting in line?

Thank you so much!
 
Your 9:15-9:45am is very busy, obviously you are splitting up, no way to do all that in 30 mins.
After the motorcade, fast walk to Pizza Planet, it gets soooo busy. To really rbwose inside the Mall you need about 45 minutes. So I think you can do it. We still don't know if anyone is meeting inside so that could be a meet and greet out of the way.
After the SotS what you have to realize is that there will be a lot of back and forth if you want to squeeze some characters between the shows.
 

These are 2 of our Star Wars tees. Got them at Five Below for $5 each! I was surprised at the weight of them. They are not super thin but more of a medium weight. I was very happy with the price since I had been looking at the $33 Storm Trooper ones on the Disneystore site.

I wanted to get the plain Star Wars logo one for me and DH at least, but not in my size...
 
it looks completely doable if you are one of the first people in Chewies line you would be riding ST with you fp around 8:30.


thanks for the information. what time should i be at the gate so that i am one of the first at chewie? is my plan for 7AM early enough.
 
We bought two boxes of Star Wars poster Honey Nut Cheerios the other day at Publix. Our first box produced the poster for Episode III.
Today I checked out the cereal aisle at Target. I felt a little silly (neatly) pawing through the boxes looking for the 'exclusive' poster. It didn't find it in the cereal aisle but I did find one on an end cap near the registers. It was on a box of plain Cheerios.
 
Our schedule has been so crazy and about to get even busier before our trip. But I finally got a chance to finish my bags that I wiull use during our vacation and thought I would share them with you all!

I knew I should have bought tickets for the movie tonight. Instead I had planned to go on Saturday at the Imax screen. Now we've had something come up and we can't go at all this weekend, dang it! Thankfully I figured it out before I bought our tickets for Saturday.
 
DEPENDING on where you go, i always got to AMC, they will replace or refund them, just ask. I had a ticket for some disney movie and couldnt make it for what ever reason and chalked it up to 12.50 lost. I went about a month later(as im an AMCSTUBS member maybe thats why) but the kid said, hey we see you didnt use this ticket, want me to ask my manager if you can use that instead?

Even if they couldnt i was happy he offered, feel most places would say *$%@& you , and take my money.

Im going Monday at 1130. no one but me in the whole theater has bought tickets yet, just the way i like it lol
 
Still Star Wars but not SWW....

SWC Anahiem California... I was there, not far from the person filming this video... and just watching this mix of the fans within the Anaheim Convention center and the trailer I have goosebumps all over again! There was nothing like watching that in the midst of that many people all having the same type of reaction... There are no words to describe it!

 
Yippee, Just managed to grab a galactic breakfast for the Monday 8th June the day we check out! Let's hope the menu is yummy! Can't wait, gates open at 9 that day and our res is at 9:15 will be be allowed in any earlier or do we have to make a dash for sci fi? Xx
