The outlet near WDW has a number of Disney related SW items for sale. Including- throw pillows, Yoda-Duffy and some playlets.

I just realized I missed a chunk of posts when I was having connection problems.

I am on Twitter and I do update while I am at Disney. I post about roadside attractions during my Disney downtime.

Testing out posting pictures from my phone. I think just attaching them may be easier. These are my 3 SW Magicbands. I have one more undecorated band but I don't think I am going to do anything with it.

Chatted with a cm at Backlot Express that is super excited about the rl. He tells me that the area for rl will be open for Backlot Express lunch until 2pm. At that point they will close and decorate and have it ready for 4

I really like the patterns you picked for the girl power ones!! That is clever.

We haven't seen Clone Wars yet. We should be getting the discs from Netflix soon. I know, old school tech discs. I am glad I saw your post, because I hadn't added all of the seasons. I can't believe there are 4 seasons!

There are 5 official seasons and a shorter 6th season called the Lost Missions and the Clone Wars film too. I have them all on Blu-Ray. I am a bit of a stickler for things like commentaries, behind the scenes and making of special features. The full season blu-ray sets are in the correct aspect ratio of 2:35:1 and not 16x9 how they were shown on Cartoon Network. The series was amazing and made me appreciate the prequels even more.

Do you think there are enough pins that they will last until next Saturday afternoon? I'm guessing they'll probably be gone by then.

Thanks for the up-to-date info!! It makes me nervous that it's only going to take 2hrs to decorate though... I hope it's not underwhelming.

If it's hot like today, no dressing up for us other than Disney bounding. I am sweltering. I'm sweating like crazy. And ds doesn't have a stitch of sweat, he's red as blazes, with his cooling vest on.

I am. Today for Galactic Gathering they gave me a separate menu for gluten free, peanut free and tree nut free. No chef coming to the table. I am hoping firc the same for RL. We are doubt the lounge on the 16th.

Considering the cofiguration of Sci Fi, how does my reservation for 2 (that I wish was for 4) work? Do we get seated in a car with another party of 2 or are we guaranteed to be the non-car seating in the back?

Is it possible to do the 9pm Fantasmic and still make it to the Symphony in the Starts Fireworks Show?

We are 3 and they sat us 1 in front row, 2 in middle, and hitch hikers in the last row.

It's possible. But slim pickings for good spots after. Stick to the left exiting F! Chances are, Hollywood Blvd will be packed. But if you cut through the stores on the left you'll end up at echo lake.

I guess I forgot the cars are 3 rows. I remembered them as 2 rows. But it's been quite a few years since I've dined there.

No.

Unless you are sitting on the back-most row near the exit and run like crazy. Then you would be on the outskirts of the huge crowd that has been forming for the last 90 minutes so they can have a good viewing location. Even if you bought one of the VIP packages, you would never get through the crowd to get to your designated viewing location before the show began.

We sat in the last row of a car today. Same as last year except it was much more pleasant this yesr because it was a group of adults in front of us verses a rowdy preschooler like last year.
