Now it is saying Uploads are not available. Sorry everyone who wanted to see the photos of food. Can't get it to work.

I just ran across another post that says it takes 10 posts to be able to upload an avatar picture but 15 posts to upload to a message. If that doesn't work then perhaps someone else will know what the problem is.

One more possibility @NebrMom - from what I found on the tech board is that it can take up to 30 minutes for a feature to "unlock" for you to use after you've met the necessary requirements of posts.

Since I had time not getting my Rebel Lounge ADR...

 

[SalmonPink]

Getting a steady stream of Donalds and Stitchs when I try to load the Rebel Hanger page now. Got them last night, but a few refreshes usually fixed things. Not the case this morning, I've had no luck at all this hour. Maybe the page has been wiped for now?

 

[SalmonPink]

OOOH, I got the picture to post by dragging it!! Is anyone else seeing it properly, or are you getting a broken image?

I found these in the supermarket to trade with the Jawas. I'm hoping some kid will get them and be really happy.

Jawaese = the Jawa language
"Utinni!"
―A commonly used Jawa expression = Wow, Battle cry, Alert to other jawas, Come here.

Mob un loo? = How much?

Yukusu kenza keena. = Let's make a deal.

Dooka = Junk.

Ushabia namba kee koolee? = Does it have air-conditioning? (This one made me laugh!)

More phrases can be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jawaese

I can't imagine that the poor CM's who are "Friends" of the Jawas would actually SPEAK Jawaese but it might be fun to scream Utinni at them and see what happens.

The Jawas will raise their arms in celebration when guests proclaim Utinni after a successful trade.

If the fibers of the fiber optic lights are not stiff and do not "poke," the Jawas can accept them in trade. If they are too stiff, the Jawas can't accept them because they can get poked when rummaging through their trading bags and they can't trade out something that could potentially harm guests. All pins that are traded must have the protective backs.

Perfect image! That looks quite yummy!

 

[SalmonPink]

Yay, glad the images are working - I still have the tab open from last night. I'll post the rest -

 

[SalmonPink]

And the last batch -

 

[wendypooh]

@SalmonPink - LOVE the pics!!! Thanks

 

[Tltorrez]

Yay, glad the images are working - I still have the tab open from last night. I'll post the rest -

Another clue re: the Han Solo Carbonite box - the pattern under the cupcakes is definitely not part of the box. It's this napkin.

Using my ancient computer I was able to find a cached version of the starwars.com story, hopefully the photos show up as well.
Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience Coming to Star

Guests attending Star Wars Weekends will be able to find shelter
and sustenance in the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience. You
never know who you’ll find lurking in the abandoned starship
hangar — located in a galaxy far, far away. Reports have been made
that this location was once a known hangout of Rebel pilots, aliens, bounty
hunters, and smugglers; with the immersive environment and stellar
bites — I understand why!


Look for a menu full of Star Wars-themed food and beverage
offerings that are out of this world:

· Galactic Garlic/Parmesan Fries – These are
tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley with a garlic aioli for dipping

· Padmé Amidala Naboo Salad – seared chicken
breast, bibb lettuce, grape tomatoes, watermelon radish, almond frica, and a
parmesan-peppercorn ranch dressing

· Lightsaber Bites – hand-dipped corn-battered
knockwurst sausages with house-made chips and mustard dipping sauce

· Chicken and Darth Vader Waffles served with
maple syrup and sweet barbecue sauce

· Trio of Thermal Detonators – spicy pork wings
topped with spicy piquillo-pepper sauce and slaw

· Slider Sampler featuring “The Sith”
barbecue-braised brisket with cole slaw and “The Jedi” with barbecued pulled
chicken with arugula.

· Fruit and Cheese “Sabers” featuring Tillamook
cheddar, Brie, goat cheese, pickled vegetables, crostini, cheddar crackers,
blueberries, raspberries, honeydew melon, strawberry, olives and gherkins

· Darth Maul Hummus with red pepper coulis, black
sesame dust, and corn tortilla chips

· Yoda Key Lime Cake

· Trio of Star Wars Mini Cupcakes,
including Darth Vader (chocolate-peanut butter), Yoda (chocolate-hazelnut), and
Jabba the Hutt (salted caramel latte) served in the Han Solo Carbonite Souvenir
Box


A new drink menu will also be available:

· Imperial Blue – Maker’s Mark Whiskey,
Cointreau, Blue Curacao, sweet and sour, topped with Sprite

· Tatooine Sunset – Stoli vanilla, Parrot Bay
Coconut Rum, pineapple juice with grenadine

· Rebel Red – Grey Goose vodka, Chambord, sour
mix and a splash of grenadine

· Dagobah Swamp Juice – Midori, Tito’s Handmade Vodka,
sweet and sour, topped with lemon-lime foam

· The Dark Side – Stoli vanilla vodka, Bailey’s
liqueur, crème de cocoa and brownie garnish

· Alderaan Ale


The Jabba the Hutt and Yoda cupcakes will also be available at Tusken Fridge
Raiders, Trolley Car Café, Starring Rolls Cafe, and Backlot Express. The Darth
Vader cupcake will be available at all quick-service locations, including
Starring Rolls Cafe, and Trolley Car Cafe and Tusken Fridge Raiders at Darth’s
Mall.


In addition to the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience,
guests can also make reservations for Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at
Hollywood & Vine and Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast! At Sci-Fi
Dine-In Theater Restaurant. For reservations, visit DisneyWorld.com/dine or call
407-WDW-DINE.


May the food be with you!

Thank you!!!! I was trying to see the menu to decide if I wanted to make a res or not.

Forgive the ignorance of the question - I'm new here and, currently, blind. My eyesight may or may not return today, tomorrow or next week - the only time I know for certain I have eyesight will be around 30th May (just in time for my holiday in June - I'll have double vision but hey ho - at least I'll get two holidays for the price of one!) In case you think i'm winding you up, I have a rare(ish) condition called Blepharospasm which makes my eyes slam shut ... for this reason I'm slightly worried about my trip to Disney but I'll deal with it on a minute by minute basis.

My question is this. I am going on June 12th, just in time for the end of the Star Wars exhibition - I'm thrilled because I thought we'd missed it! Does anyone know if it's possible to get the autographs of the cast of Star Wars - and if any of the ORIGINAL cast (the first three) will be there this time? Reason I'm asking is that my partner has had a bereavement and he's always wanted the autographs of the Star Wars cast. I need to do SOMETHING for him and this would be perfect ... we hope to return in August but whether we do or not is beyond our control ... I managed to get hold of a copy of the script of the first/fourth episode (meaning the original first) and I'd love to get it signed for him. I believe Mark Hammil was there last year who played Luke - he came to our home town straight afterwards ... sorry to have to ask the question, I don't want to bring such a heavy document with me if I can't get them to sign autographs. Thank you for reading this post. Hope I'm asking it in the right place. I also hope that Disney is suitable for wheelchair/scooter access because I can't walk well ...

 

[Tltorrez]

@allwritemel, welcome!

Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Frank Oz (Yoda) will both be there that weekend. Though only Mayhew is signing autographs. See the first post in this thread for all the details. You'll need to arrive very early in the morning for the autographs but it's do-able.

Also, having pushed a wheelchair around many places, I would say that Disney is the most wheelchair-friendly place on earth. You'll be fine.

 

[Tltorrez]

Did anyone try to call just in case? I'm trying to get my family out the door for a baseball game.

 

[slaveone]

Disney is incredibly wheelchair friendly. For the last weekend Peter Mayhew which is Chewbacca is signing. Be prepared to be there around 545 to 6 in the morning to get the fastpass for his signature. None of the original trio is coming at any time this year. Check post 1 for all information on the weekends. For more info on touring disney with disabilities I strongly recommend the disabilities board.

 

[Cluelyss]

I have to get on a plane at 7am on Monday...ugh. If they don't release it before would someone be willing to grab an ADR for me then we can coordinate a change?

Looking for May 22 at 4.

I'd be happy to. Do you have a time preference?

I hope they go live at 6, but not if they're waiting to make a DPB announcement first.
