Question about SotS show and JTA:

I have the VIP Tour booked for DS and I. DS wants to do JTA -- which we can schedule in advance -- and the VIP Tour day is our only option. If we watch SotS at 3:30, will we have time to make JTA at 4:30?

Thanks in advance!

SotS will end at 4pm so you would have to walk very fast or leave a couple of minutes before. They ask you to be at the ABC Sound Studio 30 minutes before your session time, and they will give your spot away to someone in the wait list after 5 minutes of not showing up

Tell me about it. We had a check engine on DH's car a couple of weeks ago...$1600 for a needed fix, skipped the rusty pipe that makes the car rumble lol. The light came on again a week later! Took it back in and it is a no rush thing, so we are waiting since it will be another $800. Ugh. I wish we had good public transit, so we could manage with one car.

This is my nightmare!

I am officially on holiday!!!!

Will be leaving the house in roughly 12 hours time. Land at MCO 3pm tomorrow...

 

[yulilin3]

have a great flight @markmcalear

 

[AngiTN]

I know when I stayed at Shades of Green some of my traveling companions would cheat, walk across to the Polly and just get on the monorail

Curious, and sorry it's OT, but why is this cheating? The monorail is not for on site guests only. If it was, how would folks who drive get to MK?

 

[markmcalear]

have a great flight @markmcalear

I will. We managed to grab a fairly cheap upgrade to Upper Class so Im well happy!!

Just to add to this Friday has gone from 80% thunderstorms all day to 50% PM storms and Saturday has gone down to 40% and Sunday is sunny when yesterday it was looking like this weekend would take place on Noah's ark

So apparently Disney wants me to drink more cause they are opening all sorts of adult experiences geared towards my tastes....Though if they reopened Adventurers Club they would never get me to leave.

I hate snakes, Jock.

I love his mixes.

Last year after hearing the music on the park, I look for the old SW disco music on youtube!

 

[yulilin3]

well, thanks to Ashley Eckstein we have her autograph session times. I'll update the first post
http://www.heruniverse.com/blog/act...new-her-universe-star-wars-fashions-for-2015/
She also confirms that the autograph sessions will be done in the old audition rooms of American Idol Experience

Thanks Yulilin! I ask only because we have a 5:10 Jedi Mickey as well, so we're just trying to figure out how much we can reasonably (or unreasonably squish into our day).

First post updated with Ashley Eckstein autograph session time

 

[DanielWhitney]

So if I want to get a Ashley Eckstein autograph on Weekend Five on Friday or Sunday, how would I go about that. Would it be FP+ like Ray or Peter. Just curious to see if I can try and get her auto as well.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Autographs are not FP+ and can't be booked ahead of time - you wait in line outside the gates to get a fastpass/wristband. I think Yuli had suggestions on the first page about what time it was suggested to line up in order to get the fastpass each day for each celebrity.

Ashleys' might be different if she is only signing in Darth's Mall, then you have had to show up there and get in line.
