Also, I think the Chewie and the Ewoks are actually across from Star Tours, by the speeder bikes, correct? So by that black Mickey head on the back of the ABC Sound Studio. The map makes it seem like they're outside of Tatooine Traders, to the left as you're exiting.

I think that's fine. Actually the mickey heads are the character markers.

Do they provide bottled drinks at the dessert party? Like a previous poster said, it would be nice to take one back to the room.

Felipe, great job!

In looking at that map, you know what I find frustrating? All of SWW is really contained to one area of the park...except the shows. I was working on our plan last night and realizing how inconvenient is going to be to trudge all the way down to TotS for the shows. Especially since we're really only planning on one show (possibly 2 if the kids decide they want to participate in Visit to the Maul and get signed up in time). It really would have made more sense to leave the shows in the Premiere Theatre. Oh well.

Parade viewing - full size 20 oz water and soda in bottles. I think they had lemonade as well.

Dessert party - Soda in cans, water in smaller bottles.

Its been so much fun hearing about all your experiences!! If wanting to visit Darth's mall, is rope drop a good time to go for smaller lines?

Absolutely not. Later in the day is the best time. There is a merch line up that goes in before rope drop plus then everyone else heads there. Lines are long first thing.

the merch line outside the park only happens on the first Friday.
After that you can head to the Mall at rope drop and won't have to wait long at all.
Rope drop or in the evenings are the best time

We went on Saturday...first we met Vader ( we were first in line then walked over to Wattos Grotto). There was a line but only because they had not opened up yet. One they opened they let a lot of people ..including us in. We went to the collectables and art area on Sunday afternoon and had a very short wait to get in.

Possibly a crowd management tactic. The back of the park would probably be a giant traffic jam if everything Star Wars was contained to that one area.

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.

THANK YOU!

AFAIK, the merch line is there every friday. They release a new set of vinyls each weekend to ensure the sales. I stood in the merch line on one of the last weekends last year.
