Well,I didn't quite catch up before getting started today, but I'm here at the tapstyles! Feel free to say hi, I'm in a Jedi Minnie Mouse cosplay

I slept till 5:40am but it seems if you don't have a wristband, you won't be meeting anyone at this point. I believe they are all out.

Sorry in advance for my completely wrong predictions on Ray Park for this weekend. I guess my streak of guessing right had to come to an end. Not sure if they cut a whole bunch of fps or the fact that there's no 4th guest did it.
If you're coming for him this Saturday or Sunday no later than 1am

What time did you get there?

 

[jbc18]

So the last people to get Ray Park standby wristbands arrived at 2:50ish. I got here at like 2:15 and no one came for a good half hour. That one autograph session is killer

 

[xApril]

I got here at 11:20pm. He is only signing for 90 minutes, so a lot less people. There were a lot of people behind the guarantees and most jumped into Ashley's. When I was coming back from my car, someone was saying this was their first time not getting someone so that's why I'm assuming they're out.

We are about 10 back at the tap styles. Bus showed up around quarter till 7. There was only one other family witb is on the bus. Now to kill time with a one year old...

I have red hair in a bun with an Ewoks bow and a princess leia I love you shirt. Say hi if you see us!

 

[lovingeire]

Oh and I had oldest DS watch the Chewie rub video at the bus stop this morning so he's prepared for our mission!

 

[lovethattink]

Wow...do you know what time you had to be there for Ray? or Jeremy? and what time did Ashley's line close?

Dh said including standby, "Ashleys line closed 6:30. Ray was 2:45. I don't know exact for Jeremy but by 6:30 the latest"

Thanks for the reports. That's crazy.

I hope that it is not that bad next Friday. I can't get there any early than 3 to 3:30. Possibly will be closer to 4, If it looks to full I may just have to do Peter.

Gotcha, thanks

I don't think next week will be as bad. There should be more time slots available between all the celebs.

We're on the Magical Not-at-All Express right now. We're exhausted and we've been sitting here for a half hour. And a huge group of high schoolers just boarded. Ugh.

Just wanting to prepare myself...that's the transport from the airport to resort, right? What should I prepare myself for? What's so not-so-magical? Thanks!

 

[DanielWhitney]

Yeah, I am hoping so. I know there will be another celeb there next Weekend and that will help. Also maybe more of the locals went this time. But if they went and didn't get one, they will go next weekend and show up earlier as well. Do we think he is still only going to have 1 session next weekend as well?

 

[yulilin3]

To add that next week might be better, other than having one more celebrity is that Seasonal Passes are only available until this weekend, next they are blocked out. So that should help as well

Probably only 1 because of SotS and Visit to the Maul.

 

[yulilin3]

next week they might surprise us and have him do 2 or even three sessions.
VttM will only be performed on Friday at 7pm so he might do 2 that day, after that Saturday and Sunday he only does SotS so he could do all 3 sets like all other actors that have been doing SotS

I just notice on page 1, Weekend V, Frank Oz is missing the not signing bold letters.

Letting us in the park now.
