Ready to go (I think)...thanks for all the tips!

Sounds like you have created a wonderful environment for the magic to happen!

Have a great time and make lots of memories!

Have a great trip. I'm 27 days behind you

Love this! Have a wonderful, memory-filled trip!

Thank you! We got back yesterday and wonderful memories were indeed made! I will create a "just back" post soon!

Love this one since I've been reading today they've eliminated/cut way back on dressers at DCV locations (packing extra hangers too!!!):

• have ... a "hanging shelf" for the closet to supplement the dresser space

But I've missed info on this one:

• have several shiny items to trade with the Jawas

Can someone please explain?

I'm also bringing a hanging toiletry bag for the bathroom in case we're tight on space + an over the door hook (never travel without it!).
Have a great time!!!

Yes, the hanging shelf proved to be a big help, although for some reason my kids didn't understand the concept of folding the clothes before shoving them in. The extra space was really nice, though, and made things more accessible, too.

The Jawa experience was very cool, but note that they will definitely turn down items offered for trade, even shiny ones! They rejected 3 items we tried to trade, I believe, but accepted mardi gras beads and a glittery bouncy ball. We got droid parts in return. One jawa was out of droid parts, though, so couldn't trade us.

The hanging toiletry bag sounds like a great idea. We stayed at POR, and they actually had some storage space under the bathroom sink which was awesome.

Have a great time, we are here now and the weather has been great!

Yes, we were very pleased with the weather. Way cooler than we expected, and only a couple of brief rain showers.

Take your time and have fun. Don't stress if the itinerary does not go as planned. Take it all in.

We go quite often since we live very close. We always laugh at those families with the folder of things to do. Every hour is planned. Funny story, we were walking behind a family once and I guess they were headed for a restaurant/ride and their son who was about 7/8 had to use the bathroom(he must have eaten one of those turkey legs ) . Mom slammed her binder shut and yelled at him in front of everyone that they have plans and he will have to just hold it. Felt bad for the kid.

Aw, that is sad. Yes, for us it was a mix of planned and unplanned. I was happy that many of the things on our itinerary went smoothly, but it was also fun to decide some things at the spur of the moment.

If you're still reading, bring panchos and something to put over the feet if you can find it. Very rainy the last few days, and that would have saved some hassles we had Tuesday and Wednesday.

Also, not to spend your money, but the same-day ADRs for the Wishes desert party was very cool. And gave you a place to let the main street crowds dissipate while you have more ice cream.

Have a great time. We were there Wednesday, and it was a blast even with the heat and crowds and rain. Hope you do, too.

Just seeing this now, but yes, we had a blast! I'm glad you did as well! I wore my waterproof sandals every day to avoid wet, squishy shoes, but I will admit to a couple of blisters! We did pull out the ponchos and umbrellas a couple of times.
