Can anyone tell me if the galactic breakfast is air conditioned enough for my little guy to get away with wearing his vader costume? This is how he hangs out on a nightly basis.

I know it will be WAY to hot to venture outside in this, but he wants to show vader his costume and I thought the breakfast may be an option for this.

Omg ! So awesome.
Indoors & aircondionting should be fine for breakfast (jmo).
That will be a great picture !

I just posted my synopsis of my SWW day over on the SWW Trip thread. We didn't accomplish a lot but still had a good time.

Ty so much, my girls were dissapointed they could not get Ashley. But this weekend I am planning it better ty. This is our first SWW and they have loved every minute of it

So getting a cab from CBR at 6:30 isn't going to be early enough to meet Ashley on Friday after all? Not sure my kids can do much earlier with an early, full day of travel the day before and make it through the whole packed full day of SWW on Friday. Maybe we'll change our plans for trying Ashley on Sunday based on how fast the FP's go for her the other 2 mornings?

That's what makes it a magical moment!



He was going to leave a chair earlier. He saw how others bring cots abs put them up elsewhere. But he didn't. He thought he'd be fine be around midnight.



But you're not annoying.

I saw you tonight at fireworks. Did you get great pictures.

I hope so, I ran out of hard drive space on my laptop so I can't process any more photos. Hopefully this week I can get back to my house and pick up an external drive so I can keep processing them. I am way behind. I have only posted Week 1 and 2. Week 3 and 4 still need processing and I hope to have enough space for what I plan on getting this weekend. I have been slacking so I hope to get as many pictures with characters as I can.

Hi all - I haven't been keeping up with the thread because ... You know - vacation! But I did want to share a few thoughts about the PMC sign ups.
We were at the turnstiles about 6:30 on Sunday ... First in a line. Had to take a cab - no buses to be found from the contemporary at 6-something.
We went to the rope drop and planned to follow the path straight ... CMS told us we should go to the side with the JTA crew. We went straight and hung a left at the stage.
We passed a CM who asked where we were headed, I told her PMC, she told me to go to Indiana Jones. I said are you sure, and she very arrogantly told me 'I'm quite positive.'
I got in the PMC line and then a CM there announced for us to make two lines - one for PMC one for Visit to the Maul.
We were third for PMC and the line was nearly nonexistent for Maul ... People signed up for PMC and the moved right over to Maul.
I don't know how quickly the spots left, but the line behind us was maybe up to 10 when we left.
So do get there first for choice of show time but we didn't need to be very first.
Trust you instincts - trust this thread. Unfortunately you can't count on some of the CM.
Full report to come later!
Had a blast at SWW and having a great trip!
Thank you all!!!

Saw Linda Skywalker today in Luke's set. I had no idea who she was until now. Now I know who you all were talking about.

I ran into her as she was leaving the event for this past weekend. She usually walks Luke out to his set. Her X-Wing head band is pretty epic.

Huge thanks to @delmar411 for picking me up a Chopper and Zeb vinylmation 2 pack and to @missthatgator for sending me a Darth Maul poster even though they already managed to pick up a Boba Fett so I had nothing they wanted!!

Love this thread because everyone is so nice and friendly and I really feel that everyone embodies the spirit of Star Wars.

4 am for Peter Mayhew? That may be earlier than I can drag my family there. 5 am seemed somewhat reasonable, but 4 is tougher to sell. Don't want to ruin the whole week by killing everyone the first day of the trip.

A few of my favorite pics...















I like this next picture. At SOTS JAT talked about how he and his driver are twins and then showed a picture. We saw his twin at Rebel Hanger and took pictures with him then tweeted that we'd had our picture with JAT. JAT actually answered and admonished the CM (who he had the twitter account of). So yeah, JAT=awesome.

Its about having fun doing what you do, not trying to do everything.

I saw you in the park the other day. I was going the geek out and say hi but the sea of humanity prevented me from doing so.

I would say 4 if I wanted to be sure, no later than five if I felt like gambling.

My DS is interested in all of the Blister Pack meet characters. What is the best strategy? Thanks!

Just realized I saw you guys several times! I definitely remember seeing your daughter in that outfit and you guys in line for Ray Park.

 

[jacksmommy]

And can anyone update with what is going on with characterpalooza during SWW and Baymax's wait? Thanks!

I know! I wish they had those water bottle filling stations. I don't know why they don't since they give out free water anyway. I suppose they hope people will spend money on a snack or something, too.


We got shipping notices for DH and me yesterday afternoon. ODS did the Jedi, too, and we are still waiting on a notice for his.


Who is this? ODS was in his Jedi costume, and we chatted a little while waiting for Jedi Mickey dinner the first Friday.

@HCinKC I believe this is @Reizo

Haha, I'm sorry for being so late. I've been studying for NCLEX and away from the boards for too long but I passed
But yes that's me in the photo with my daughter Malia.



It was nice to talk to a lot of SW fans that day and sharing in the love of it being dressed up.
