@mmafan

I may have misunderstood your post. Unfortunately I work all weekend and won't be able to post very much.

I have a request for those of you going to Weekends I or II. Could someone investigate the Padawan Mind Challenge situation and how families are chosen to participate in the Family portions? After watching video from last year, my nephews (8 & 11) and BIL would love to do this, but I realize you can't actually sign up for it. We'll be there Weekend III on Saturday. Any insight is appreciated!

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but what are the reasons why a non-SWW day is recommended for JTA? Thanks in advance!

The whole show is less rushed, the kids get to do the Force Push at the end and the sign ups are easier

@The Sunrise Student did you see this?

Saw your post on FB first, just got out here a little bit ago. Been working on projects for the office from home this morning... still have a few things to do for there before I am officially on vacation.

I know @lovethattink did it last year. They are picked at random around the event stage. She'll be able to give you more info. You can sign up for the kid only PMC (the first to shows) at the ABC Sound Studio just not the Family edition (last 2) first page has all the information

They pick one family of 4 or 2 families of 2 per shoe.

Totally guessing here, but could they be at "Ewok Village"? That's where Darth Vader met on May the 4th. And an earlier posting by Disney said they'd be near Star Tours, if I remember correctly.

They did meet there a few years ago. Makes sense.

According to a CM who had the little cm SW times guide Mickey etc will meet at the Commissary lane location until 4 pm then it will switch over to Luke and Leias and the droids.

Maul backdrop is not up yet but all Intel is he will meet at the Darths Mall exit...outside of the shop down near Mike and Sulley.

Fett backdrop is not up yet

I saw a video from last year with a dad and two children, so I hope 3 people could be an option. Do you just show up early for the shows and chat with the CMs and hope for the best?

My husband and son got picked last year while I was at the photopass shop trying to find missing pictures. My son is always over the top enthusiastic, but dh is kind of shy. So I'm not sure since I wasn't there. All dh said was that a cm did the picking.
