follow the crowds toward TSMM, walk past it and you'll find it on your right

According to the below link Darth's Mall has moved once again, this time somewhere near streets of America.
They are adding a third track to TSMM in that space.

There is supposed to be a meet and greet in Darth's Mall. I think Vader was mentioned, but other characters were alluded to as possibilities.

M&G = meet and greet.

Thanks

Will there be characters at RH?

no clue, and if they are, as has been alluded by the DPB they won't come to your table they will just be walking thru

I am still looking for a galactic breakfast for 6/5 for 4 preferably before 9:30am. I am now looking for a REbel hangar on 6/5 for 4 as well. Is the RH part of quick or table dining plan? I have a Jedi Mickey HV on 6/5 and 7:40 I will be canceling if I find the galactic or RH.

Will there be characters at RH?

All Disney will say about that is "you never know who you will see in the abandoned hangar." nobody really knows whether that means characters or not. The Parks Blog did clarify that there will not be characters visiting tables.

Is the RH part of quick or table dining plan?

Rebel Hangar will not accept any dining plan.

I know, it's past Soundstage 1 , where the old AFI gift shop was. They are using buildings from the Old Backlot Tour queue

My imagination is running wild. Han Solo. Walk through? Life size jabba the hutt behind ropes? 501st walking through?

If it were Han Solo I think they'd literally have a riot on their hands. Jabba would be pretty cool.

With sending things back to the resort from Darth's Maul, can you take some things and have others shipped or is it all or nothing? I'm trying to figure out my plan for Galactic Gathering Thursday. I have BOG breakfast at 8:20, then GG 10-whenever, then I have FPs in MK in the evening. Since I am starting and ending my day at MK, I was thinking it would be easiest to leave my car at TTC and take the bus from MK to DHS. Then I could just have purchases shipped to my resort to pick up later, but there are some things I am giving to other people that weekend or I want to have/use immediately, so I need to take those with me.

Thats what I heard, your reply about heading to tsmm and it being right past it on the right was where the Darth's was last year. Was starting to get a little confused. lol

Yes you can ship some purchases and carry others. And you can always have purchases you might want later sent to the front of the park and pick them up when you leave.

 

[ArielRae]

I plan on purchasing some Star Wars items and sending them to be held up front, so where up front do I go to get my items when I am ready to pick them up? How long until they make it up front for pick up?

I believe they ask if you're going to be in the park for at least 3 hours after purchase.
The pick up location is as you are about to leave DHS on the far left, next to where you rent strollers and wheelchairs

Also check the roll call thread, that's where I post my cancellations. And I move over to the June cancellation thread when time passes on the other one.

m starting to wonder if the Jedi Mickey dinner is worth the cost, especially now that I can get cheaper Star Wars food at the Rebel Lounge. If the characters don't sign, it really isn't worth it. Right now, I have a reservation the first weekend and the third weekend and I may cancel the first one and just try to get pictures/autographs at the regular meet and maybe cancel the second one if I already have all of them. But I am keeping at least 1 breakfast. Even though bad guy autographs don't interest me that much, I love breakfast food.

Same here I'm going to wait to hear about how it goes. For me it's NOT about "a signature"... more than likely the signature card will go into a trashcan or be left on the table. it's about the interactions that go along with *getting* a signature. So we'll see As it is I have a rebel hanger a couple of hours before the H+V, so I could cancel H+V and save a tonne of money.

But will they all take the DIS-approved route? (Should be called the Yulilin Path.)

@yuilin3 -would you post the path again, pretty please and maybe put a link to that post in POST#1? (I know Post#1 is getting pretty full).



SHOUT OUTS! I love the pictures of all of you. I'm going to admit to probably not remembering screen names with pictures so i may just wave big or call out "DIS CREW!" if I see you! I never got into the lime green mickey head phase.

Here's a picture from our last trip to Disney, but this trip we'll also have my BIL, SIL and their two kids (ages 12 & 14) with us!
this is me (Sherry), DH (Jeff) and DD15 (will be 15 shortly) Natalie. DH is playing the part of the Yeti in this shot. <g>

You didnt ask me...but us guinea pigs have voted and decided not to tell the chewie run path anymore. Too many people joined the facebook group, we must keep it a secret.




J/K. Straight down hollywood blvd. Turn left down Commisary Lane. wrap around to the left and you will find the line forming next to the speeder bike.
