View attachment 91911 Made a couple new shirts for the kidos last night (front/back). Only problem is they want to wear them now. They still don't know we are going to sww.

Any hints on where the image came for the front of the shirt? If it's something you can and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to make one of those for my sons. Thanks!

 

[Ferbtones10]

Ok. Thanks. And phew!

Oh no you didn't! Hahahahaha, I am laughing so hard right now. Thanks for the comedy relief!

I don't know what to do about the Rebel hanger! I was going to use it for lunch, but someone
tell me if I read right -- it's only 4p-9p?

We have 3 HS days.
Sunday June 7 -- and I have a Jedi Mickey's at 7 P
Tuesday June 9 -- and Rebel Hanger is only weekends, right?
Saturday June 13 -- and I have Feel the Force, not sure when to squeeze a dinner in there?

I would really like to do it on Sunday June 7

I need ideas my sww peeps!

I have a question about the feel the force reserved areas. I have seen a lot of places online say that the kids go down in the front....what about a kid in a wheelchair? I bought the FTF package so that my dd would be able to enjoy the festivities, but I don't want her to be unable to see because she is in a chair. This will work out ok right?

We are so excited because she is dressing up as R2D2.

If you liked that, just try watching the dearth star attack from a new hope. I swear... Every single line in that battle has problems with phrasing.

At those speeds, do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?

Look at the size of that thing.

Etc etc

It's really very funny.

You're going in there...I don't care what you smell.

Does the SW parade completely finish at the stage in front of the Great Movie ride? It doesn't continue to Star Tours, does it?

the 501St and rebel Legion walk all the way to star tours. the rest of the parade goes all the way up to the stage

I don't mind sharing. Disney doesn't make the storm trooper shirt in kids sizes, so I made a pattern of from one the adult ones I bought. I used a free Star Wars font to make the words. I'm happy to share the patterns if you would like them.

I think I have them in pdf, svg, and fun formats (last two for cutting machines). My cutting machine is my new toy so I have lots of Star Wars / Disney stuff in the works. I'll be easy to spot in the parks. LOL. I can on them to you when I get home. Just send me a pm and let me know what format you want.

Thanks! I guess I was confused between who did what!

So I have only passively looked through this thread so I apologize for this question but want to see if summary of the rebel hanget is correct and had some questions.

-Located where Backlot Express is
-$14.95 per person. Are kids less expensive?
-Can book in advance when they go live
-I've seen the pics of the food and the drink menu so does the $15 just get you in the door?
-Has it been confirmed characters will be roaming around?

Thanks in advance!

I still can't to the Rebel hanger site, says it's busy!

I am in a similar situation. I had originally planned on SW breakfast on May 23 and dinner on May 24. When we got FtF on Saturday we decided to move breakfast to Sunday and have two meals that day. Now that we want to do the RH we are thinking the only time to add it is on Sunday. Right now our plan is to do breakfast at 8:15, go to RH around 4, and then to dinner at 7:45. This is WAY more than the one meal per day we typically do at Disney but these are all things we want to do and see. We figured we would each get a drink and split an entree (or maybe just cupcakes) at RH so we could check it out. You don't have to order a lot of food and can split items between people in your group. We also have a breakfast ADR for Monday but that was going to be our only day to sleep in and I am not sure I want to give that up yet.

It's actually $14.99 and under, no cover charge.
It'll be in the rooms closest to JTA stage, the right of the food counter

I would just like to reiterate again how much I appreciate the giving people on this thread. The information sharing is incredible. Also, I really appreciate that people here are so friendly and genuinely nice to each other. Sorry, I just read a reply to one of my posts on another thread. There just seems to be so much negativity and rudeness about these days. I think I am just going to stay in this part of the forum for a while

I called yesterday and the girl told me it would be at the backlot express in the UPSTAIRS room............(IS there an upstairs room there??)
She also said it would be completely decorated and an EXPERIENCE not to be missed.... She also said to keep checking constantly.......... would NOT confirm Monday at all, just said to keep checking constantly, so, I said over the weekend and she said YES, I would.

A look behind the shrubs at DHS.

Looks like a nice place to line up for characters along those new fenced walkways.
View them at 1:10 into the video.

Does anyone know the approximate cost of the face painting near Star Tours during Star Wars weekends?
