Facebook Cover Photos are already formatted in a long skinny size that would work pretty well for the application. You can preview what your image will look like on the website & manipulate it as needed. There's also a tool on the website that lets you add 3 layers of images to make up what you need on the band. The website is www.magicyourband.com. I believe there's a coupon code listed on 516 of this thread.


There is also a free online tool called Pixlr http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/ which is pretty good if you don't have access to something like Photoshop. You'll want to crop the image so it's wide and short - around 200mm wide by 22mm tall if you're designing the whole band in one go. Otherwise you can use out online editor as mentioned above.
 
Perhaps, but many people have already gotten some characters and wait for the ones they are missing. I think the characters and line CMs know this. Obviously more likely on days 2-3 v Friday. We had gotten everyone but Kit Fisto, finally caught him Sunday late afternoon. Anakin and Mace were also out and gave us a funny look when ODS only got Kit's sig. I said we already had their sigs, and they understood. They were all so great with the ODS. I absolutely loved watching him talk with everyone!


I think you are right about the way the line forms...and where it forms. The Jedi council is also out of the way of normal traffic. Pretty much all of the other lines do have the potential to block regular traffic if double lines or switchbacks formed. I don't see the big deal with letting people go in front of you though. As long as the line is moving, a character isn't waiting for the next person, then I don't see the big deal with whichever set up works for a given location.

Two of our D-Techs are "out for delivery" today! ODS's Jedi is the one we are still waiting on. Not even a shipping notification yet. Perhaps it is taking longer because it is new this year. I think someone else... @mmafan is also waiting on the Jedi. So maybe a heads up for anyone who got that one?

Also, SW related...I just got tickets to SW day at the Royals for DH's birthday. Going to have my parents get him a SW Royals shirt to go along. It also happens to be a Sunday which is Family Fun Day, so we will be having a crazy day...yay! And did I mention he is getting back from a week of work in Denmark the day before. He won't be too tired to hang at the baseball stadium all afternoon in August heat and humidity, right? :teeth:
yup still waiting............lol
 

Well it looks like my SWW trip is starting out with a nice surprise, it looks like I will be getting into the Orlando airport 10 min early. Hopefully the Magical Express bus doesn't sit to long before it leaves.

Unlike last time when my sinus issues pretty much ruined my trip and even though I only got 3-4 hours of sleep, I feel great this time. It feels great to know that I will be able to do what I have planned this time instead of being disappointed each day that I couldn't go out and do much of anything.

Also even though it's going to be warm it looks like the days are going to be pretty dry over the next 3 or 4 days which is wonderful as well. This is why I packed mostly light colored t-shirts except for my red 2015 SWW passholder shirt.

We they actually had my magical express correctly set up with my Star Wars magic band so no having to go to the desk and waste time there. From landing to getting on the bus 20 min.

Sigh, I am so disappointed in USPS. A package that was a DHL handout to USPS in Orlando and supposed to be delivered to me in Clermont was misdirected to DC and hasn't managed to light any fire under USPS to get it to me so it is currently on its 2nd day in NC.
It was my ATAT shirt I was going to wear this weekend. :(
 
About how long is conversation with OZ? Trying to get a RH ADR for Sunday(if I can grab a cancellation one) and want to find out for a time that do not conflict with OZ.

The site says 45 minutes
 
Just grabbed a Galactic Breakfast for Sunday at 8:40am. :) I've been going back and forth on this one but decided to look for it to finish SWW with a bang...anyone else going to be there around that time?

We are.going opposite end. I booked a RH for the last day so I am looking forward to that.
 
Any body looking to trade a few posters to complete a collection? I have few extra weekend 3 and 4 looking for weekends 1 and 2. If interested send me a pm.
 
We stayed at Beach Club last week-the wing right in front of the villas by quiet pool. Head out either through quiet pool or right next to building (Epcot side) and turn like going towards Epcot (left). Hang a right at bridge and go across bridge towards Boardwalk villas/inn. (Hint- you will pass the boardwalk bakery -yum). Watch for signs as you get to Boardwalk inn - you will turn left onto the courtyard area and on the righthand side there is a archway to the Luna Pool- cut thought the Luna pool area (pay no mind to big scary clown slide exit-shudder:scared:) there will be signs pointing you to the path to studios but it is just beyond the pool area)

It is a nice pleasant walk in the morning or after sun is down. About 10-12 minutes depending on walk speed. My oldest daughter and I walked it while the other 3 caught the boat. roughly about same amount of time but boat can take longer defending on load/unload speed of the boat.
So I don't go over by the swan and dolphin. I'm thinking I was going that way. So the turn by boardwalk is before or after flying fish?
 
Yeah, I'm thinking of lining up as soon as we come out of SotS
Backlot Express does have A/C they also have an outdoor area
With the deluxe package can I just roll into line whenever I want or do I need to be showing up earlier too?
