Finely in FL. Staying overnight offsite so we can be at HS no later than 7. Going to sleep now so we can be ready for a great day! Thank you again everyone for all the helpful hits!!!!

Have a great time. With it being the last day of SWW I'm sure the atmosphere will be great so I can't wait. I would be following your step and heading to bed, but being from Chicago I can't until the Blackhawks - Lightning hockey game is over.

Rebel hanger was really fun on a week night but it sucks mightily tonight.

Same experience for us. Wednesday night was awesome. Saw all characters. Friday at 4. Seated 25 minutes late. No characters. Friday at 8. Only Jawas. Seemed disorganized on weekend.

I walked by today and it looked as you mentioned disorganized. I heard a few people coming out of there complaining about what you were talking about lack of characters.

Any last minute tips? Tomorrow is my family's big SWW day. We had a small taste of it on Friday night and loved it.

Primary objectives for tomorrow

1. get to rope drop and dash to Vader with my DD5. We have FP for Star Tours thereafter at 910. I hope we can get thru Vader in a half hour since we're going straight to him.

2. Meet Baymax by getting to his first set early

3. Meet Boba and/or Jango Fett...I like Boba but I won't be picky, they're both awesome

4. Trade with a Jawa. I brought a couple old Episode 1 figures, including a c3po I think would evoke a cool response.

5. Aurra Sing. We saw her Friday night but we were nearly running to get to our H&V reservation on time. For some reason my daughter likes her.

6. Anything else is a bonus.

Any word on the glow cubes?

Late Friday evening, while waiting to build a lightSaber with my daughter, my wife merrily came over with a drink and had the xwing clipped to it. She said the guy who made her drink said he was nearly out of them and thinks their supply is low. I was hoping for a swamp juice with the falcon.

The Swamp Juice is only served at RH, and only with the X wing. You have to get one of the other drinks available at the other locations throughout the park to get the MF or Death Star.

not true anymore they have the xwing at nearly every stand alone bar now and its the only cube that are giving with drinks. the only places that had death star and mf today was the place at the mall and high octane

Thanks for the correction. Is the Swamp Juice still only being served at the RH though? It wasn't available anywhere else when we were there last weekend.

swamp juice im not sure about they have so many different ones i lost track haha i just know its flip flopped with the cube situation with the xwing being the easy find and the others being hard to find.

There were 4 available outside RH, but I never saw Swamp Juice outside of RH. I think it was an RH-exclusive drink. The other 4 were easy to pick up other places.

Characterpalooza at ToT at 6:10....right after my discreet question for a cast members thought tried to send me to muppetvision. I sent wife and DS6 in while I stayed with DS10 andDS2. Saw at least Genie and princess Tiana. They are still back there.

The only other was Pluto who was in rare form today. I love that dog.

Taylor Gray was coming in as we were leaving so the kids said hi and that was nice. I guess it is hit or miss.

Happy to have met yulilin3 and her daughter last night and watch Symphony in the Stars with them and Delmar. Thank you for welcoming us to your group and I'm sorry if we talked your ear off!

Stephanie was so gracious to allow me to record her saying a message to my son. He was thrilled when I showed him this morning and said "she seems really cool", to which we replied that yes, she is very cool and so is her mother.

Thank you again for all of the great information.

Everyone have fun today and stay hydrated. It's been Tatooine with a side of Dagobah this weekend. Yesterday was amazing. Got Ashley Eckstein fp then was one group back at the center tapstile for open. Got to the teeny tiny little rope and laughed at stormtrooper antics then guest antics who tried to clothesline themselves with said rope. Did the chewy run and only waited a little under an hour. But that was fine because we got pictures of Queen Amidala while waiting and when Chewie went for a deoderant and conditioner break Wicket came out with him. Checked in for our package and got Frank Oz fp. Have about a hundred pictures of the parade. Chilled in the shade near the heads of hollywood for a few minutes then headed over for our signatures. Ashley was great as always and remembered my name from last year. Then we went and ate lunch at Fairfax Fare and then headed into SotS. It was great. We were down in front even though we had to navigate the world's most poorly planned switchback ramp. The show was awesome especially JAT and Ray Park having lightsaber and feather duster fun. Plus the trailer with Peter Mayhew. Got waters after and chilled in the shade waiting for Frank Oz. Navigated the hell ramp again and got sat front row center. Got a high five from Ray as he walked by. Loved the show. Chilled for a while then decided to do Obi Wan just because it was last weekend and well JAT. Did a slow meander around then I went to check for Yuli and Steph. I kept missing them up close. Finally suceeded said my hellos praised the costuming that looks even better in person. Then time for dessert. Oh the desserts and the drinks. I was the crazy person dancing in the front row at the handicap tables. I blame the fact that I knew I'd fall asleep if I sat down. Had a ball and even though a few of the fireworks were blocked by the stage it was still beautiful. Honestly I'm now kind of sad and probably won't go back to HS for at least a couple of weeks because of the post SWW sadness.
