No apologizes please - you are so wonderful. The thread moves fast and you are awesome at answering all of our questions! Huge thanks! I didn't know that about Darth Vader. I think lunch is probably the best bet! Thanks!!!

So, I think I read someone said the Jawas were not trading at RH when they were there--is this true across the board? I have some trinkets to try to trade with them. If they don't trade at RH, where do they usually hang out where I can trade with them?

I think that they do trade during SWW but not during the weekdays...hopefully someone can answer but I think I read they traded with them during the weekends

The only spot I saw them trading was in the Galactic Breakfast.

When we were at RH on Saturday the one that we saw traded with us. We got a Crayola!!!!!

Tip of advise immediately just say the word trade in a questioning manner and wave whatever you want to trade...though I do feel like you have a better chance if you have a Padawan (child) with you.

Could some please post the width of the AP posters so I know how long of a tube to bring?

I went ahead and got the fast pass for Visit to Maul but if I can't sign my oldest up then I'm going to skip it because he will be bummed watching other kids up on stage and not him. I'd love to watch but not worth him being sad on the best weekend ever.

Wow! That is a great point! I didn't think about it, but I bet my kids would react the same way. I have FP+s for that show, but will definitely keep this in mind the day we're there.

For those of you that were interested, I did contact Disney's disability folks directly about the DAS use at SWW special shows. Today, the disability folks at Disney confirmed that DAS cannot be used at SWW shows, but I could use a fastpass. I appreciate them calling me back. I would never have considered using a DAS until I heard about the brutal sun conditions, which are prohibitive for my husband. Thus, I only have one fastpass. I swear it would be nice to have this stuff actually published officially.

I guess I will plan to confront the angry mob when he slips in line as they start letting people in. I guess I can explain on the way, and his condition is visible enough that we get overt stairs in public. Maybe I will start with him in line and then the people in line with us can hear me order him out and ask him to come back later.

Not really sww related, but you guys are awesome so I'm asking anyway.

I have a request for anyone who was staying at a Disney resort for weekend I or will be this week....can you tell me if there are any bounce back deals and when they are for? I'm hoping for room discounts and already looking to plan a post sww long weekend trip for later this year. Thank you!!!

People at SWW and specifically in SWW lines are very understanding. I'm sure that if you explain to the people behind you you won't have a problem

Neither the GAC, nor the DAS were allowed to be used for Star Wars shows in the past. A few years ago, my son was at his worse and had a green light stamp. During SWW, they would add a big black stamp across the GAC saying that it couldn't be used for Star Wars Celebrity events.

Have you checked out @SueM in MN sticky on the disability board. Anything you can think of about DAS is on there. If not I strongly suggest checking out her threads. She has links officially from Disney in them too.
