We went to the RH last night (Wednesday) and one of the Jawa traded with people at the table beside us. They traded a whistle for something from the Jawa (I didn't see what). It was a couple at the table, no kids. Hope this helps!

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.

Are you getting FP+s for both of you? I think people will be understanding of having to switch out in line, but to be in the FP+ you're both going to need to have a FP+ for the show. Unless you're planning on SB???

We all have fastpasses for the Maul show. When I learned about the brutal sun with lines of an hour plus for the other shows, I went back to re-arrange my fastpasses. However, the fastpasses for those shows are gone. He really cannot tolerate direct heat from the sun for any length of time. I think he would be okay for parts of shows or standing in line for a show, but not both at the same time, especially attending more than one show. And, of course, we have the macho thing going, so we try to do it all and then he's totally wiped out and worthless for two days. Does that make sense?

yes it does. Remember an umbrella and some cold towels, cooling cloths, cooling wipes, whatever works for you

I have a Jedi Mickey for May 31st at 8:30 with Fantasmic I will be cancelling for 2 people. Anyone need it and want to coordinate?

Everyone have a good weekend. We are heading to Indianapolis for the 500.

If you need ideas for any local eateries, let me know!

Ok so I'm pretty bummed DV and BF are not signing autographs at the Galactic Breakfast. Those are DS favorite characters! We're paying all that money and we don't even get their autograph?? Not sure I want to stand in lines for hours for them outside either just for their signatures... will have to convince DS the autograph is not important... :S Also, no character signing at Jedi Mickey? What are they thinking?

Ok, moving on, has anybody posted a review of the Premium package yet? I haven't been able to find it you guys move too fast!

It's really a sad moment when you are dining solo at the RH and they hand someone one two tables away one of the Boba mugs yet when you ask they say they have none.

One of the things we do with ds is to have he and dh or me stand somewhere in the airconditioning then come out and meet. Thankfully Sunday was overcast around parade time and for a bit after. We stood in Standby for Rebels and actually found shade for him. My son wears a cooling vest which helps a bit. Sunday it was overcast enough that he didn't need if for the parade and we had a shady spot.

My son has only made it one show a day so far. And on Friday and Saturday he was wiped out from the heat. The FP+ line was in direct sun and we put up an umbrella for him. It works a little. We've had to take this year's SWW more slowly.

Spent lots of time at Writer's Stop, Animation building, One Man's Dream.

In the 3 days we were there the first weekend, we got in 3 character lines, built a lego, Saw one Rebels show and one SOTS show.

We have done this before for a disney trip. I put all the pics I could find of the kids with each character all on the same page. So there was a bunch with Mickey on one page, chip and dale on another page. The characters really loved it!

We do this...if we see you at some point I can show you ours. We added some extra photos of characters we didn't have yet, stickers for the rebels characters and blanks for this who might be new

Could someone tell me the website where you've been ordering SW shirts? I know someone suggested Woot awhile back, but saw another that you all seem to like as well

 

[tigger1972]

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!!!

Yes, we took advantage of the 35% OFF bounce back deal. We scheduled it for MNSSHP.

No. And I was close to shedding a jealous tear. And then right t that moment this happened. I'm much better now.

I have bought a couple from Tee Fury. Great quality they have men and women cut. The women cut just order a size up and you should be fine

I can't get through all these posts so I apologize if I'm asking repeat questions
If we want to do the rebels show tomorrow what time to get in line??
Also if we do the nighttime show what time do we get there and where is a good viewing spot?
I've got 2 kids w us and am worrying about lines and timing this correctly
