it won't be barren, believe me. ANd all of you weekend Vers will have an additional 30% off on anything with the SWW logo and if you're a passholder you can add an extra 10% off on top of that (that's how they've done it for years now)

That't awesome news! I foresee some extra purchasing well, because, discount!

Maybe at the Prop shop? where they had the Lego C3PO?

I didn't think to look in there. I was distracted by the people pretending to insert Death Star plans into R2.

where is this? I like that the pretzel comes with the cheese sauce and is a DDP snack credit. Usually I see the cheese and pretzel as separate snack credits.

we don't usually go Fridays but I may go that Friday evening, depending on weather she might wear it that night

You need to go that evening.

I was going to post this, too. I'm surprised Pete gave it such a good review. I'm glad we did it last year and I agree that the character interaction is great and the food is decent, but it's a "one and done" thing for me.

I want to know how (like technically, how) they got such awesome photos in there. I tried to leave a comment to ask them to give some specific tips, but I don't want to create a new account (or login with FB) to do that.

Thanks so much for meeting up with me and making the magic band trade! It was nice to sit and chat.
Funny enough I ran into that couple who were asking about RH and we rode ST together. They are from Atlanta.


The rebel hanger was all setup there with the table toppers since they are doing a soft open with VIPs, media and executives.

This thread is so hard to keep up with while on vacation on the go.

Flame tree was closed 2 days ago and like others have stated supposed to import back up 5/23. They had 3 different locations to get some of the food normally sold at flame tree. There was a sign on the construction was with the menu items and where to get them.

I also just got a map/brochure at Caribbean beach concierge so I would assume all resorts have them by now.

Okay, a good review, but the most interesting part of it is this:

"Tables in Wonderland is suspended throughout DHS for Star Wars Weekends."

WHAAAAAT??

So I looked at the TIW website and there is nothing about that.

Anybody there tomorrow who is able to use TIW anywhere, I'd like to hear about that. Like at Brown Derby where I just booked lunch for weekend 2.

They have super high end cameras and lenses so that's a good starting point. Like 3-5000 just for the body. I know this because my husband has camera envy.

that's what I thought too. The lighting was low but you could see everything with vivid colors. I guess we'll hear the show on Tuesday and see what they have to say

baby number 1 gone for the long weekend...one toddler left and then I can seriously start freaking out about tomorrow

From Pete's review:
"in fact, TiW is suspended throughout DHS during Star Wars Weekends"

I'm surprised and disappointed to read this! Is this a normal occurrence?

No it is not. Last year I used TIW as usual at the Brown Derby Lounge and Tune Inn Lounge. Didn't actually eat in the restaurants. but I just booked the Derby for next weekend seeing as it's supposed to be approaching 100 degrees then and the lounge is outside.

@yulilin3

Great article thank you for posting. I am curious about TIW. Pete noted it is suspended throughout the park during SWW. Can anyone confirm this?

During the past four years they accepted it throughout the park, just not at the Galactic gathering and the SW themed dinner at H & V.

I am hoping he just mis-spoke.
