This Forum thing is crazy difficult. I think I will stick to making silly pictures.

Hope so, if not I guess I can camp out in front of the Theater of the Stars once the park opens.

Does anyone know if transferring FPs is similar to transferring ADRs? Do I just need to cancel mine while the other person attempts to change theirs? I believe there have been some successful transfers here so hopefully someone has some advise.

Yes. You'll need to either text Gian or PM him or others will know what time you are doing the transfer if you announce it on the thread.

Awesome. That is what we have planned. Just wanted to double check before doing it.

What waiting in line for an hour gets you

DN had a great time in the motorcade yesterday. I still haven't figured out how she got picked. I asked and the lady in charge said they usually ask people in the park the morning of. She had no idea when I told her someone named Andrew called my cell phone on Friday. Just pixie dust I guess!

I will most likely have three FP for Stars of the Saga and A Conversation with Frank Oz to let go of for the June 13 shows. PM me if interested. My mom will be joining me for the weekend so I don't think we will be seeing the shows. I did convince her to see the fireworks, though, so thats fun.

I'm quite confused by the messaging on the mobile version of the boards but if you haven't released these into the wild yet, I only need FP for 1 person!

 

[Teamanderson]

In line for Luke now. Boys are ready to go back to relax at hotel so we won't be making 7:40 set. Sorry @yulilin3 i was looking forward to meeting you, I'll be back for fireworks I hope

 

[Teamanderson]

Droids are out with Luke!! I'm far back in line. Praying we make it ahhhh!!!!

 

[Teamanderson]

Anyone know how long droids stay out

 

[yulilin3]

Around 25 minutes. Good luck

After this I got a notice that RnRC was down during my FP time. If anyone can tell me why when RnRC, a tier 1, goes down the alternative options area all tier 2, but when Star Tours, a tier 2, goes down alternative options include two tier 1 options, I'd love to hear it. I understand not putting Toy Story as a replacement, but you should at least be able to select Great Movie Ride to replace RnRC before you could do so with ST. I have spoken to Guest Relations about this in the past - just sharing my thoughts on it so they were known - and was told "honestly, it doesn't matter what you think or the feedback you give, nothing is going to change." I was a little more than surprised since Disney has always accepted my feedback, both positive and constructive. Even if they've ended up throwing it away they always were willing to listen.

I have read, maybe from mesaboy or The Unofficial Guide, that it has to do with throughput of the ride. GMR is a slower throughput ride. That's why it's a tier 1 to begin with, because we know that it's not as popular as TSMM or RNRC. Also, TOT is a tier 2, even though it's somewhat popular, because it has a high throughput but not the crowds of RNRC or TSMM. So, if RNRC, a popular ride goes down, that means there will be a lot of people trying to ride something else. If they all were allowed to do GMR as a replacement, it would bog down the ride beyond belief. Star Tours is not as popular and has a high throughput as well. There probably wouldn't be as many people rushing to GMR if it went down as there would be for RNRC going down. TSMM going down just monkeys up everything, as anecdotal evidence shows from this board.

You need to have a total of 10 posts to be able to PM/Start a Conversation. You'll need to keep posting!

The weatherized costume is complete. The pant legs are detachable. No long sleeves, but saved the cuff (which DS thinks is the sling shot). And removed the inner lining. It'll still be hot, but it's a definite improvement. Now I just need to keep it clean!View attachment 101303View attachment 101304

So cool!!

 

[boricuajedi]

Did they still have the SWW 2015 logo magnets?

 

[Metz172]

Yay we made it back. Lot less crowded and cooler then Friday morning. Husband and DD in a relatively short line for Darth Maul and other DD are holding places in line for Darth Vader. Still hoping for a chance for Chewie but my husband was so wanting Vader and Darth Maul I said let's do them first.

Yes they do
