My family wants to go to the mall first on the 15th. I keep telling them my Dis peeps say it is going to be madness! They keep saying how bad can it be. I may just have to ditch them and join you guys for the Chewie run!

It is crazy!! Come join us, we'll have fun at the Chewie line.

ooooohhhhh ok I'm with you now haha! I'll be there that day too but I'm not sure my DH and DS would appreciate me running off without them LOL. Ah well. I'll know who the crazy running people are at least

Well, my Dad is in his seventies. So I don't think we'll be running too fast.

It will be bad. And you cant go in first thing because there is a merch line up before the gates open and they will be first in line after the VIP people. Plus there is a vinylmation eachez that first weekend so people will be after that. Plus the new SW bands. Plus anyone who went to GG will be able to cut the line with their pass.

Convince them to wait and get to the characters first.

You guys talking about the chewy line are making me nervous. I was first in line last year on day one, I feel like I am going to be 20 families back this year...lol

I asked my son last week if he wanted to see chewy again and he said yes. So it looks like there is a good chance I will be involved in the chewy run this year again. Only thing different this year is I wont have a stroller so I may be at the mercy of how motivated my 6 year old son is. I am guessing the rest of my party won't be doing the dash with us.

Oh and BTW in about 52 hours I will be on the plane heading to Orlando to start our vacation. I swear this week has been dragging so bad.

Thank you for the info! Yes, I definitely think we need to stay away!

Hello everyone! I have a few questions. Sorry if these questions have been answered but the pages on this thread seem to multiply faster than I can keep up with! I was wondering about the shows. Are the seats that you get with the FTF package better than the Fastpass seats? Or are all of the seats good and it doesn't matter? I was also wondering about the deathstar glow cubes, did they serve those in the drinks served during the FTF dessert package or are they purchased separately? I assume that you have to pay extra for them. Thanks for the help!

the Theater of the Stars really doesn't have a bad seat, unless you are stuck in the back stands. There will be a reserved area for people with the package, for people with VIP and for fp.
The glow death stars and lightsabers came with the special SW drinks from the pop up bars, they have 2 around the event stage, one by Starring Rolls, one by 50s Prime Time and one by Mama Melrose.
The drinks served at the dessert party do not have the special glow cubes

Thank you so much for the quick response. I am super excited to go soon!

Having been to the special release of the New Fantasyland pins? Bad. Very bad. All those dealers. Seriously, you can ask my DH, I came back from that merchandise event traumatized. Never again.

On a side note, I feel like such a newbie here again. I haven't posted on the DIS in years! You guys brought me out of my DIS posting hiatus.

Me too!

 

[Tltorrez]

it'll be like that every weekend. Just look on the roll call thread everyone going first Friday, I would think 90% of us will be in CHewie's line

Except those going to JTA.

I was just looking at the updated blog post... did they change some of the names of the items for the rebel lounge in the last couple of days? I was sure some of the food items were called different things.

I don't have a picture in the shirt I am wearing on the 15th. I will be wearing a gray boba fett shirt.

But here is one of my favorite pictures of me and my son at SWW 2 years ago.

And some handy work from my mother and myself from our trip last year. Most have probably seen this but wanted to post again for good measure.
