Not going to try to keep up with posts. I'll go back and read. Phone died early pm. My only regret was no pictures the rest of the night.
Parade - I was in the last row of the padawan parents. DH i think wore his googy hat, DS wore a pluto cap, DD had pigtails. While in prep or starting walk we saw pretty much ever major character and voice actor. It was also videoed for a WDW preschool age promo. DS said he felt special.
Kids loved TSMM. DD chickened out on ST. Frozen was great to cool off in the afternoon. Indiana Jones was packed at 4 and DD got scared even though we had watched it on YouTube prior. Never did
Lego build, but did make lightsabers. DS got a double Darth Maul, which is now his favorite bad guy. Both sides light up now. $39.95 double, single $22.95. Kids wouldn't tolerate anything with a line. Honey I Shrunk the kids was great in the AM, but too packed and hot after lunch. Kids did play there for an hour, but I thought they were on the verge of heat stroke until I could get them into Frozen.
Kids LOVED Jedi Mickey dinner. They had chocolate soy milk -yay! The chef took us around and showed us everything dairy free, then gave the kids Tofutti ice cream and Enjoy life chocolate chip cookies from the back for dessert. Characters don't sign, but we got a signature card. server made sure we had seen all characters before we left. We also got placemat paper light sabers. Chip had a paper light saber war with DS. BTW, we checked in early, which was a really good idea for distractable food eaters and they were taking walk ins (4:30).
RH was running a little slow. No walk ups left. Got there late. ADR was 7:50 or 7:55, but Obi Wan didn't get out until 7:45 or7:50 and the great PP seating were some of the last to exit. Plus pee stop. Got to RH 7:55. Seated about 8:10, Waitress 8:15 ish. One drink, one appetizer - Darth Maul Hummous - took 45 min from start to end. No characters until about 8:55. Traded with a jawa just as I was signing the check, then left. AC on high indoors. DH loved it, kids and I were cold.
PP dessert party. Got there a little after 9. packed. Hung out in back near bar. Imposed on a nice lady to rest my food on her table. Ended up great choice. Room for my son in the back to ninja dance with lightsaber. He was really feeling it. DS didn't like the strawberry Popsicles from the parade (we found a cart right after the parade that honored our FtF credentials) so he asked the ice cream guy ( can you believe after Jedi Mickey and RH, he was still hungry????). Ice cream guy got CM who brought over awesome chef. He brought a fruit plate, earned a hug from DS, and then came back with those Enjoy Life chocolate chip cookies. I think I had no desserts, but 3 Jedi Mind Tricks, lol.
I was a little under trees for fireworks, but with extra space could sit with the kids and watch. Just awesome.
Best.Day.Ever. my kids voted SWW at HS better than MK. Okay. Must sleep now. Epcot tomorrow.
