Menu at RL

Anyone going Weekend IV want a Vader or Yoda cupcake? I'd like to get the trio for the bucket, but I can only have the Jabba due to allergies. Maybe if I bring some Benadryl I can have a bite of the others. I'd happily give them away, though.

The Rebel Red with X-wing!!!! (Bonus band member chatting with the person next to me)

How is it? I am probably basing the drink I order now based entirely on it coming with an X-wing. Bonus if it is tasty.

Table decorations are statues of Han, Luke, Kanan, R2, And Boba Fett that I can see.

Y'all, I am nerding out right now. This is so fun!

Yulilin's reporting the ENTIRE Cantina Band just visited them at their table in RH! So cool!!

 

[R2D2]

So is this working like table service with a waiter, etc. or is it more like walk up and order and go back to grab it?

I like it. I'm not a big mixed drinks fan (I like beer), but this is good.

A few questions that I hope someone can help answer. I've only ever used the buses and driving myself so I'm clueless about cabs

2. Does anyone know what the taxi situation is like at Coronado? Will I be able to easily get one early in the morning on Saturday, May 23? How much time should I allow for the wait for a taxi? We have our Deluxe FtF package and don't want to have to worry about driving back after the dessert party (also willing to share a taxi if others are staying at Coronado)
(I have a similar question about the 24 hour event. Planning on taking the bus but can do a taxi to contemporary and the walk if people think that will be better)

Was at Coronado Springs bus stop 1 this morning. Couple who were there before me got tired of waiting and went upfront. Heard doorman/greeter yell, and a taxi drove from the lot right up to them. So no issues, but you can always check with concierge the night before if you're concerned

Who is Yulilin?

 

[Teamanderson]

Was the buses running at the resorts at 6:30 this morning? We will be there weekend 4 and staying at POP. Should we call a cab?

 

[SalmonPink]

Looking at photopass to get accurate times for my meets this morning:

Chewie and Logray - 8.22
Jedi Mickey and Minnie - 8.56
Anakin - 9.20
Shaak Ti - 10.01
Amidala - 10.29

Had a 10 minute sit down at Backlot Express, then headed closer to ABC soundstage to watch the 501. Got lots done, but you can really get an idea of how slow that Jedi line is. I literally went straight back in after Anakin, took me a full 40 minutes to reach the front again

Ok so now that the pics are loaded here are the details: ADRs get a pager, walk ups sit outside, it is table service, it appears that characters will visit though this may have been due to low occupancy, they offer a special diet menu, the buns on the slider can be ordered as gluten free such as what yulilin got marked by the allergy stick

There is no pressure to leave once you get the check and apparently the Dagobah swamp is really good
