This camping out thing intrigues me...is it all the same people, every night, every weekend? Mostly locals? I've never camped out for anything, so the idea of it blows my mind a little.

Definitely a bunch of regulars but plenty of visitors too. Locals and regulars are well.equipped and visitors are.not.

Wish we were local and we would be there every weekend. We leave Saturday to go home and driving 9 hours with being so tired would not be good. My DH is very disappointed. Its nothing like it used to be. He got Darth Vaders and didn't get there until about 7AM, times have changed though,lol...

I'm not really sure why so many are showing up so early this year. It is a bit nuts.
I'm sorry he is disappointed. Maybe next year. It is better to be safe for driving.

I sincerely hope that they pay tribute to this man for his legendary contributions to Star Wars. RIP to a Legend.

 

[DanielWhitney]

I am going to try for Peter. Will be there around 4:30ish. With 3 sessions and him getting to standby I hope to be good.

Ashley's line is empty if anyone wants to meet her. It seems there was an after hours event in the park because people are leaving and the lot has cars.

 

[delmar411]

Not only did they have an after hours event until 2am but as soon as those people cleared out they started the frozen parade practice. Woke up my DD11 so there goes my hope of broken sleep.

And people are still getting in Rays line. I really wish there was a way to.do a count off and somehow let these people know they are not going to get a fp.

My son successfully traded for a magic band accessory that was a Death Star with Mickey ears. Of course, it fell off, which resulted in much sadness.

Does anyone know if/where this accessory is sold? I checked the regular DHS shops last night, and they didn't have it and hadn't seen it.

 

[lovethattink]

Planning on it. Sending my husband ahead with a couple of our DSs, then the rest will catch up ASAP.

Speaking of which, when you see that crazy couple that brought seven kids to SWW... yep, that's probably us.

Anna? Is that you? Or another person with 7 kids?

And people are still getting in Rays line. I really wish there was a way to.do a count off and somehow let these people know they are not going to get a fp.

Last weekend it was around 6 am they were told.

We arrived last night and are getting ready for our first SWW day! The heat was brutal yesterday so now I know what frozen things do in summer anyway!
Headed for the Chewie run and then bfast at Sci-fi. My Disers take Oz pin is on my backpack so say hello if you see us!

So tired arrived at 12:20. Between 2nd and 3rd light post past security check for Mayhew.... So tired, no sleep and MK from early yesterday.....

 

[d-r]

Like psychological warfare with the frozen music lol

 

[d-r]

When we got here @ 4:30 (for Taylor) the Mayhew line was literally to the boat

 

[pookadoo77]

Definitely torture

Definitely torture

Ugh the event people were terrible and then the endless frozen parade probably going to sleep in my car awhile today.
