I didn't find the towels to be very worthwhile.
These on the other hand, incredible.

Holding head in shame...........but until getting involved with this thread, dh and I were just casual fans of Star Wars. We went to SWW for 1 day in 2013 and lucked out and saw a few shows as well as the parade. We enjoyed it, but we probably didn't get the most out of SWW since we didn't do any advanced planning. This year, I only started stalking this thread to help other people plan their trips! However, we've been bitten by the bug and planned a fairly last minute trip so we could go back to SWW! FP's are booked as well as RH and we can't wait to join in on the fun!

Can someone with access look at Oz for V?

Still available for 6/14. Not sure on 6/12 or 6/13.

do we know if the Donald and mickey jedi magic bands will be for sale outside of the GG? I know the light saber ones are exclusive but I can't remember if the Donald and mickey ones are, too. DS really wants jedi Donald since he has the purple light saber. (Mace windu is his favorite jedi!)

Went shopping at Kohls today and saw they have plenty of Star Wars shirts in the Mens and Boys sections.
I also happened to see this over in the kitchen section.

Do you recall how much? They had these at sw celebration for 55 which was 10 bucks more than Amazon.

Completely non-SWW related but I just found out we're getting our new puppy the weekend I'll be at SWW with our boys so my dh will go pick her up with my dd. He's going to surprise her that morning. We're getting a soft-coated Irish Wheaten Terrier. This is not her but this is what she'll look like

I'm so excited she'll be there when we get home!!!

super cute

Has anyone seen any of the m&m's star wars candy tubes with the small fan on it? I bought one for my mom a year or so ago at Target. I thought it would be a nice small fan to blow directly into my face while waiting that I could slip in my (very small) purse. Like these, just not in bulk!

Shameless plug time:
My son's band Stereo FM, plays Thursday nights right from 7:45pm to 11:45pm ,outside Splitsville at Downtown Disney, he plays the bass. If anyone is going Thursday nights during your vacation you can check them out for a bit. No charge to listen.

Oh, I so wish we could make that work for us! We're big music people and both my husband and 12 year old are musicians and we'd love to see him play. Maybe another time... darn.

Got my Star Wars T-Shirt

shameless video plug He's the one with the black shirt and beanie. If going to Universal he's also the escort for the Tales of Beedle the Bard show at Diagon Alley

I can't view the video from work, but I'll check it out at home! We are going to Universal -- what days does he work?

he's seasonal so he doesn't have a fixed schedule. It allows him time to do the band thing and he's also part of the Fringe Festival with a new experience called The Republic

I'll keep an eye out for him. I remember meeting him at SWW last year (it was his birthday, I think -- or he just graduated -- or both?) and I'm sure watching the video will refresh my memory.

I follow Inside the Magic on Twitter, so I'm kind of familiar with The Republic -- sounds neat!

Back to your regularly scheduled program...

yeah, probably both his birthday (June 6th) and graduation. The Republic sounds intense, I'm not doing it

This is a long article, but I found it really fascinating and enlightening.

I don't know when luggage tags usually come, but I got my luggage tags today. My magic bands have not shipped yet.

There should be an overlay on the 7DMT during SWW, right?
