I just found out that Stephanie decided not to go to Gradventure at Universal with her friends on Friday because she wanted to come to SWW first Friday with me :love: . I didn't even know when Gradventure would be and she didn't give me any of the papers from school, she just threw them away.

Ahh bless her, that's so sweet I look forward to hopefully meeting you and Stephanie weekend IV or V, x
 
Alright, up early at POR getting ready to hit RD at HS to sign DS up for JTA then hitting our SciFi ADR at 8:20. First time checking in since Sunday, hope I didn't miss much. Universal was a blast, we did MK last night. Also, don't know if I broke my toe, but a suitcase or two might have fallen on my foot a couple times due to my first time (and maybe last?) flying with both kids. Anyway bruising is gone and it's still slightly swollen, but it's getting better! Lol
Oh we are doing JTA tomorrow morning. I'd love to hear how this morning's crowd was if you get a chance. I plan on getting there early in hopes of getting the first or second show. Hope you guys have a great day!

You're raising her right! :hug: BTW, I forgot to say after your Mother's Day pics...she is so stinkin' cute.
 

Been on the road for 10 hours so I am not sure if this info has been posted.

They are putting up the backdrops

Amidala is in her usual spot.

Jedi Council is underneath the old Pirates line covered area ...have picture will post it tonight

Clone Wars characters are in the same spotas last year.

Most interesting find is Darth Vader is behind the Backlot Tour door. Looks like you enter the line where Darth Maul was last year and weave around a bit to get to him. You can not see him from the main walkway...someone..might have gone under the ropes and back there to take a picture but I will not say who....have pictures will post them tonight.

Rebel Lounge has some large cool looking decals on the windows. When dh and dd get off of ST we will get pictures.

Map should be out Thursday afternoon according to our source.

Have not found any other backdrops yet...
 
Here is a copy and paste of my Galactic Breakfast review with pictures

The Food

Pastries: I got the gluten free and nut free pastries, dh and ds got the regular menu patries. Mine included 2 glazed donuts, a chocolate chocolate chip muffin, and a blueberry muffin.

Appetizers: Ds and I got the fruit cocktail, dh got the yogurt.

Beverages: We all got blue milk, a raspberry flavored milk.

Entrees: DS got bacon and eggs, and substituted for the breakfast potatoes and sausage he got bacon. For $47 dollars, I expected to see eggs and bacon filling his plate. Not so, he got a small portion of eggs and 3 slices of bacon. Dh and I ordered the beef tenderloin. It was so good. The steak melted in our mouths. There wasn't a piece of fat on it. It was nicely trimmed. We asked for it medium well. It was cooked to perfection. The stuffed tomato was a little too stuffed for my tastes. I ended up scraping some of the stuffing off. DH didn't even know it was a tomato as he ate the whole thing and didn't even taste tomato in it. The bacon and cheddar custard was interesting. Without a bite of the spinach below, it didn't taste as good as when it was combined together. Together is was very tasty.

Character Interaction

The character interaction was excellent. The entry picture of Boba Fett and Darth Vader went quick. 1 picture on each camera/phone. As I mentioned in a previous post, check your pictures before you walk away. The picture on dh's phone that the cm took was terribly blurry. On my camera it was fine. Darth Vader and Boba Fett do not sign autographs at the entry.

Inside the restaurant, stormtroopers, jawa, and Greedo make stops at your table. My favorite interaction was with Greedo about who shot first. Ds' favorite was trading my Mother's Day flower for a celebrate button that was decorated with a Mickey.

@@yulilin3 asked me if there was an autograph card of Fett and Vader. I asked our server and he said he'd ask a manager. He came back with these three!

We were excited to see The Force Awakens sneak peak on the screen along with the other clips.

For years, Tony has been our favorite Sci-Fi server. We didn't even request him and got him that morning. He made the experience so much better. His sense of humor is great, he's very attentive. We never had to ask for a refill of drink. He went the extra step and got us those autograph cards. What can I say we love Tony!

Thank you so much for this. So all the rumors were true about Vader moving. Is there a roof over his meet?
