has there been confirmation outside that one blog entry that celebs "not signing" are actually not signing? i know i mentioned this early today having been a regular camper for autographs it doesn't make sense to me that theyd only have two and Ashly the first week. ive never seen them that thin youd think they would at least throw in one of the animation people. even with Hamil last year he was just an addon to the weekend.
 
With rumors that DHS is supposed to get a bigger, permanent Star Wars presence, I really hope that the Rebel Hangar, at least decor, becomes permanent. Star Wars themed food would be cool too, but I think DHS still needs a real meal place, not just apps.
 

Thanks everyone for all the great info and pictures! Living vicariously for the next two weekends and can't wait to get there!
 
OK, I haven't caught up at all on the thread since this morning, but we just got home from our daytrip to the parks (and Trader Sams's, which is AWESOME!!) and thought I'd post a few things. First, it looks like others have the RH Lounge covered, so I won't post the couple photos I took before I saw on the boards that someone's DH was scoping it out inside (nicely done, by the way! I can't remember who, though).

Galactic Breakfast was SO much fun! Our reservation was for 10:45, we checked in at 10:30, and finally at 11:05, we went in. I should mention that I wore my Her Universe Han Solo cosplay dress, and while we were waiting outside, Boba came to the glass doors and pointed right at me and then posed menacingly with his gun. When we got to the door, the hostess said, "Boba's been waiting for you!" At that point, it was a bit of a blur, Vader interacted with my DH, but I have no idea in what way because Boba grabbed my arm and held it aloft because he'd caught "Han Solo." THEN DH and I went inside and had our meal (everyone's seen photos of the food, so I won't bother - my Vader waffles were awesome, though) and waited for character interactions. At some point, the hostess approached me and said she had a weird favor to ask, that when Greedo came around, she'd like to take a photo of me with him. I replied, "Only if you say I shot first!" :)

Anyway, Greedo came around last for us and it was at least a 5-minute interaction with him, he was convinced I was "Han Solo" and one of the CMs had to convince him that I wasn't because he wanted to take me away to collect the bounty. So much fun! So here's a few photos (I hope I upload OK, it's my first try on the Disboards): collage of me with my character interactions (protip: have whoever takes your photo NOT sit in the booth while doing so, it's a very unflattering angle!), Boba menacingly pointing at me through the Sci-Fi doors, the moment onscreen I was glad I wasn't eating because I would've choked from sobbing.

One last thing that I cannot overemphasize: it was HOT today. I'm a local. I live SOUTHeast of Orlando. I'm accustomed to Florida summers and sun (I work outside a lot). And I was getting beat down by the sun today. PLEASE be sure to drink plenty of water and duck inside buildings whenever possible to cool down. That's just my friendly little PSA. Hope everyone has half as much fun during their weekends as I did today! :)
 
yeah i know he was announced early but they still had the usual 3-4 celebrities Ashley and JAT signing that weekend plus mark was there. that's what i meant as an addon he didn't subtract from the normal number of people signing.

yeah its understandable that JAT isnt signing the guy is running around like crazy all day i didn't know how he did it in the past. Like i said though right now its just amy and tiya and i don't see either of them being any sort of real draw (not for me anyway) i just dont remember disney ever going that thin especially on opening weekend.. i guess im just disappointed i have no reason to camp out lol
 
It's not letting me post the pictures! I'm on my iPhone in the hotel bathroom! Any thoughts on how to get it to work? (Because my kids r going to sleep in the room...lol)
Is it maybe because of wifi?Press on upload a file and then go to your gallery and pick the picture
 
So, I'm not so familiar with DHS. Where is this "Coke bottle area" where the Vader meet up is supposed to be? And is this the same location where he's been in the past?

After I replied I understood what you meant...it is strange that they only have 3 this weekend. The big rumor was that the voice actors from Clone Wars were supposed to come as well, not sure if that is true or not.
It's Amy, Tiya and Ashley
