I see a penny press in one of the merch articles. Is it SW themed? It's next to the life-size Lego C3PO.

that would be cool, but i thought, and im sure im wrong or tinking of something else, i read there were no SW penny presses at all yet

 

[soniam]

not that im a ware of. think i had hoped that last year and it never did. best hope is ebay or CList and those will cost you and arm and a leg

I didn't see anything that I absolutely had to have, just some things that might be cool. I'll just wait until next year. (soniam goes in the corner with her head held down and big pouty lips)

yeah im going this year, first time, but i know ill get there and like always, look at something and not buy it as i really dont have room for anything. Just think if you go 2016 they might have penny presses out

There used to be one regularly at Tataouine Traders, but they took it away for some reason in the last few years. Someone said they had one last year at SWW. I talked with a CM at Tataouine Traders in March. She said people are always asking about an SW penny press and that she passes it up the chain every time she is asked. I need to email guest relations about it. There are other penny presses that I want too

The rebels recap is the same one thAts on TV. The penny press is not Star Wars. At least wasn't last week. And Soniam depending on merch you might find friendly disser willing to pick it up and send.

Thanks. There's nothing that I have to have. Next year I might ask for some favors, especially if the drink lights run out early again this year.

I was the one on the pressed penny hunt.

DS and I have started collecting them from wherever we go. We aren't as fanatic about it as others. One from a location is enough for us; we don't need all of the designs. However, we each almost completely filled up a WDW penny press book on our last visit. We wanted one from each Epcot country, rides we like, MK lands, and characters. I have been hoarding shiny coins and pick up quarter rolls from the bank. I even found a dime press for Space Mountain last time. Since dimes are shiny anyway, it was really cool. They are a pretty small and inexpensive souvenir.

Alright heading off so I don't sleep through my alarm and fail at being @Good Morning Dewdrop wake up call. Good luck guinea Pigs and may the force be with you always.

Didn't get through all the pages yet. So sorry if I sound out of place.

Darth Maul meet and greet?? do they want us to die??

This is where you walk to enter Darth's Mall. You cannot enter by Mike and sully meet.

here is where they filmed my family and others today for sww promo. We had to sign releases.

Any of the Dooney and Bourke bags left? Can't decide if I want them to still be available or not!! I'd love one, but that money could buy lots of other stuff, too!?!?!

There was when we left at 1pm-ish

Just asked multiple guest relations CMs for the map...current theme is they are not getting it until tomorrow. Hopefully someone else has better luck. Or has it been leaked ? I can not keep up with this thread today's!

We got a map at pop.

After seeing these pictures, I have to go to this.

Enjoy!

So tonight will be interesting. After work today, I will be attending my sister's play (Legally Blonde) then heading straight to DHS. I am running on 2 hrs sleep since a water pipe busted in my house and flooded it yesterday. I will be in the overnight Merch line all night and will attend the event and leave after Stars of the Saga to return to work. If anyone sees me out there dozing off please wake me up. Just don't startle me since I will be armed with a Plastic Lightsaber.

My friend was Elle tonight. Who is your sister? !

dont say that. i got the party for those then found out they wont give them out there, or last year they didnt. I dont drink but this year will be a first lol

 

[lovethattink]

The symbols are acting up. DS got the rebel symbol. Me, dh and @kmcdougan were or of luck. We had to choose another today. The pre-order didn't work. They said we could get refunded or pick something other than a symbol.

Odd note from today - there is a smoking area next to the Fetts - it is where the line for them ran last year. I was hoping (when I saw it) that Disney would move it before the weekend but it is on the SWW map! I can't believe they're going to have a meet/ greet that close to a smoking area! Also if it is still there where are they going to put the Fett line?

If the Fetts are in the same spot they used to be in, the line will be set up on the opposite side from the smoking section. I'm a smoker and I remember using that section last year and never having a line near me. Hope this helps.

 

[lovethattink]

Fett are same place. Jedi council is on tsmm side between old pirate thing and tsmm.

I am hoping they learned their lesson. But I'm not above buying some friendly dissers drinks next year to be sure we get them. I'm going to wait though until next year. We won't be able to make it until probably the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th weekend, because of that darn school

 

[soniam]

All you VIPers for the first weekend, get ready to rrreeeepppooorrrt! Don't rumble, okay

You are too funny! Every time I see your profile pic, I think of your Lance Bands! And, even though I walk everyday with my friend, Sonia, I read your Screenname as Son. I. Am. Too much Dr. Seuss for me!

Anyway, you be more than ready for SWW next year. You'll be at the top of the Roll Call listing!!!

 

[lovethattink]

Almost forgot. That Darth mall sign thing is for the Aurasma app.

Should be asleep but wanted to wish all us guinea pigs good luck tomorrow. See you in the am
