Swamp juice and the tatoinine sunset are good stuff.

I saw on someone's twitter that they had purchased a Tervis Tumbler with the SWW logo on it. Does anyone know where you can purchase that and what was the cost? Also, is the large Rancor back this year anywhere? Thanks!

I kind of would have liked more chAracters - not necessarily all of them, but toss in chewy and boba fett or Luke and Leia and I think it totally would be worth it. Also I think It was kind of unfair that the deluxe people got a swag bag and all day access to darths mall and we didn't (not that we would have had time).[/QUOTE]


Thanks for the review, sounds like too much sun for your son, glad he is feeling better. We have the VIP reserved for Friday June 5th I think it is, so we are super excited.

For anyone in need of an Anna and Elsa fastpass during Weekend V, just saw one for 10:10 PM on June 12th

The tumbler is in the Watto's Grotto store. I'm pretty sure it's 21.95.

I've started watching Clone Wars finally. I am also toying with the idea of getting the SWW Dooney if I don't spend too much money during my Disneyland vacation.

Tip about rebel hanger:
During the weekends, you will see jawas, the tattooine band, and rebels charcters. During the week mon -thurs, you will see jawas, an tattooine band pilot fighter, chewbacca, and a stormtrooper. Yep, best rebel hanger meal ever tonight. Great food, and the atmosphere is great. Only place to get the xwing glow clip, too. So glad we didn't fight or stand in the crowds for a chewbacca picture as he came right to our table at rh. Edited to add this info was given to us about characters by a cast member who worked thisweekend and this evening there while we ate.

What do you mean? JTA runs according to the posted schedule, with Vader taking the upper stage and Maul and/or Ventress on the bottom. Are you referring to the Maul/Ventress switch off? Because the "second bad guy" is on stage the same time as Vader. It's luck of the draw whether your child gets Vader vs. Maul/Ventress, though with the sessions we've watched or been a part of, they put the littler kids on top with Vader and the bigger ones with Maul/Ventress, because they're scarier. I don't think they take bad guy requests.

Yes, I meant a schedule for which times Darth Maul was the 2nd character and which times Asaaj was the 2nd character. We requested Darth Maul in 2013 with a 8 year old and ended up with Vader. Really want my son to battle Darth Maul, but I know it's luck of the draw

@yulilin3 did you receive a swag bag for your deluxe FTF? What was in it.

Deluxe Premium Package parade spot

the spot right next to the shop on the shady side is open to any guests. This was the case this past weekend. It can change next weekend
2.- To watch the pre show on stage and fireworks I would say anywhere from the tip board toward the stage, unless you have parents that put their kids on their shoulders.
If you want you can also watch the pre show on the jumbotron of the Hyperion Theater (Old AIE) and then watch the fireworks from there.

@yulilin3 so the Deluxe FTF is that section in front of Mickeys of. Hollywood?
Do you enter by the CM with the ice cream cart'?
Is that a window seat I see in that section That looks like a great spot to wait???!!! Or does it get crowded and yôur view blocked?

How many goodies can we have, without looking too piggy in you honest opinion. There's only so much ice cream we can eat but maybe one on entering and then one for the road? It's actually the drinks....I would love to grab a couple of waters and/or sodas each(some to have then and maybe one for the road). Is it the same situation for the water and soda at the Dessert party...are they bottled? Might be nice to have a coke back at the room.

Boy I sound really cheap Guess I'm too stingy to buy drinks after our FTF, GAlactic Breakfast, H&V Jedi, and a Rebel Hanger...

 

[meuseman]

Sounds so fun! Did you go straight to sign up at RD? Was the sign up line crazy? My DS7 is really hoping to get signed up this year and I'm trying to manage his expectations...

We went for JTA first and I would say we were one of the first 15-20 families. The. We headed staring for PMC and the firs t show was filled and we were number 12 of 16 for the second show.

@yulilin3 .Boy I sound really cheap Guess I'm too stingy to buy drinks after our FTF, GAlactic Breakfast, H&V Jedi, and a Rebel Hanger...

So what would you think of someone getting water for everyone, then getting a soda for two of us, maybe 3, popcorn for 2 and eating it later, then two bottles of water to go each that is my plan. And i forgot to ask @yulilin3 if they come by you to serve the food or do you go to them? And i wonder how much of each one person can get at a time *OINK OINK*

The "goodie bag" we got was three photo cards ..... not classified as goodie to me.

The Tervis is the small "kids" sized cup, meant for kids I guess by design and $21.95. I don't like it as much as last year's but still got it for DS. Edit: Cup is 16 oz.

See you there if you're on the 5th June that's when we're doing VIP too, We can't wait, xx

 

[Mommy2Jameson]

Sorry if I have question after question. I'm working a midnight shift...alone...so planning and reading this forum has been helpful.

Family and I will be going for Weekend V....

I want the Han popcorn bucket and a glowing drink thingy like the Falcon. Since I am going weekend V, odds I'll have to purchase these of Ebay are.......

I read that the cube things were gone last year. At the same point, last year, were the popcorn bucket and stein gone also?

We went Weekend V last year. Got the Vader Popcorn bucket and Stormtrooper Drink holder. No glow cubes though!

 

[Mommy2Jameson]

Thank you both! We might give it a go as it would free up a bit of our afternoon since we had originally planned on after the parade. (Ewoks are a priority for me!) we were originally going to hop on Star Tours real quick (with FP+) before our breakfast but this would be such a time saver for us. I might let oldest DS and I go ahead to get spot in line and have DH with the stroller and two littles follow. (Oldest DS used to be our TSMM FP runner.) Now for some schedule rearranging!

Honestly, if it was me, I would definitely do Chewie first! He is right next to Sci Fi. Even if you were like 5-10 minutes late to your ADR you would be fine.

We bought our tumbler at the Big store on our way out of the park...Mickeys I think

 

[Mommy2Jameson]

Line to get into Darth's Mall was 10 minutes right now. Talked to merchandise manager and she said no calendars this year. Told her we saw it on the dpb she said they didn't order any

That makes me so sad! My son loves his calendar from last year, and it ends after May 2015! And they sold out early last year, so why wouldn't they have them again!

Thanks again for offering to get me one @yulilin3
