I am going Weekend V in June. I am wondering what "name" that weekend has as well as the others. I already saw that Weekend I is Guinea Pigs.

Just an FYI I believe last year they also just signed their generic name it's not a new thing for this year

As long as they still come by the table and we can get photos and get some interaction time I'll be ok with a canned card. I didn't expect a special autograph anyway. Just the usual

What they did for May the 4th was great with the stormtroopers. They marched so far, posed for so many minutes, then marched to a new spot to meet for a few more minutes. Made them more accessible to more people and they were awesome! Maybe they can do something like that for Han?

I'm ok with the H&V not signing, because we do have all of these (since they sign their normal names),and it's the awesome pictures that we want. HOWEVER I am a little disappointed over Galatic Breakfast...those were autographs that I wanted to get, without waiting In a hot outside line. Usually we are guilty of taking 2 pictures, one of just my son with the character, and one of where we jump in with him. I promise you we are lightening fast and don't do a bunch of poses-I'm always very conscious of those waiting in line. I CAN see how having this at the start of Galatic breakfast could be a HUGE time/line clogger. I wonder if they could ever offer the photo at the end on your way out, granted people could still back up the line a bit but it wouldn't slow down the seating/serving process. Did I hear they do something like this at BOG with Beast? Or maybe not. Heck I'd be ok with a fastpass for Vader & Fett in the regular line for later(which I know they don't FP), but I guess that would defeat the purpose of a character breakfast

That's correct. Because Mickey IS Mickey whether he is a Jedi, Zorro, or a Scarecrow. He'll always be Mickey. Same holds true for all the characters.

When there is an autograph card, it's a definite indicator that characters will not sign anything else.

My belief is that they moved to the cards because it was too difficult for the characters to sign in SciFi, and if they weren't signing in SciFi, then they also couldn't sign in H&V.

Hasn't it been noted that only Vader and Fett won't sign at Sci Fi? That the inside characters will still be signing?

that's what I was told by second hand account. If anything I'll have first hand info on Sunday

So I called Disney to inquire about my RH reservation due it showing 1 less person on my reservation than originally requested through MDE. The reservation was confirmed though she stated the infant would not be charged a fee.

She then read the description from the disneyparks website that included the environment and general description of the food and drink sampling...suggesting that this would be included in the cost of entry.

The call was very confusing. Does anyone have a clear understanding how the Rebel Hanger will work? Is there an entry fee? If so, does it include the food?

No charge to enter. It's a table service with a la carte items.

Here's a response on the DP blog about it:

"Hi Ronald, the lounge menu will be a la carte, with prices ranging from $5.49 to $16.99."

It will be like a table service. No entry fee. The call center cast are not being well updated.

In not SWW news, did anyone see that Disney infinity 3.0 is officially going to be Star Wars? I know someone posted it a couple of days ago but it officially came accross Facebook today. My son is already upset that it's not out now (and that I will make him wait until Xmas).

Lost the quote I was going to reply to, but I am generally a total introvert but I turn into a crazy person taking pictures for other people at WDW. I think it has to do with many trips of not being in pictures. So if you're anywhere near.me, I'd do it for you, lol.

Aww...my son is doing his homework across from me. He spelling sentence was "nothing is better than mommy snuggles." Then he said, "you know what's one and a half best? A trip to Disney for Star Wars weekends!!" I knew I liked this kid.
