Ssw

I printed out the information from the website. I noticed that some autograph sessions start at 9:30 and the park opened at 9:00. That got me questioning.

We are staying at Beach Club so will have to catch the bus I guess. I haven't stayed there before so I don't know if you can walk or not.

I am getting so excited!!!!

You can walk from the Y & B Club too, a little longer walk but it can be done. You would have to walk towards the Dolphin and go over the bridge then onto the area near the Boardwalk Villas. Yeah they are starting them (autographs) early so I sure hope I can get the early one for Aiden! I dont remember them starting the autographs so early. I think Saturday I will try to see the parades and interviews since Faith will want to get lots of pics on Sunday.

Here is a tip, after the parades go over to the open gate area by Star Tours - all of the stars will walk through that area to go wherever they need to go and you can get pretty close to them. You will know the spot because people camp out there all day.

Ally & Jack - if you go out the back towards the Boarwalk you will see a bridge, go over that and there is a walkway on your right that goes along the Boardwalk Villas - just follow that sidewalk all the way around the lake and it takes you to MGM. I think it took us 15-20 mins to walk it last year.

Mona, you can also get on the boats to MGM but I dont think they started running till a little after 8:00 last year - may have been 8:30. They pick up first at Y & B Club then Boardwalk and last stop is the Swan and Dolphin then onto MGM. Scope out the walkway Friday night if you chose that route.

This year will be my 4th SSW, how about you guys?

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Oh, and I am getting excited too....cant you tell.....I cant shut up! LOL

I have not packed a thing yet but I have started my list of things to pack/buy/do.

 

[AllyandJack]

I'm taking Wednesday off of work to pack, confirm all the reservations and flight times and print out the list of schedules and make a plan of attack.

I must be really excited because I haven't once thought about my plan of attack for the plane ride....3 Xanax....2 Benadryl and half a Xanax....2 Xanax and an apple martini.....

I haven't even started to get scared yet!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Wow, that will be some plane ride! I need something for my drive over. Interstate 4 is always a beast.

 

[SC Minnie]

Thanks- Christine. I will have to get me route staked out Friday evening.

Carla-- If I see a drugged and druck woman walking through the airport Friday night will it be you?????

I have been looking at the list today and trying to decide on first, second, and third choices.

 

[SC Minnie]

2 more days!!!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

I'll have a lime green ribbon on my backpack so if you see it say hi!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Enjoy Cameron!

Will this work week end? It seems like this week has dragged on by.....come on Friday!!

 

[sramille]

Found this thread and I'm finally starting to get excited!! Having such a lousy week at work that I can't even get psyched for DisneyWorld. (trust me, that's bad!)
The last couple of years, I've been vacationing with other people so I didn't really participate in SSW even though I was in MGM.
I'm headed for Steve Burton and Michael Easton!!! Other than that, I like to go take pics of the stars signing and gather all of the headshots. I also plan on making it to more of the shows, they're a pain to wait for, but always enjoyable!
Hope everyone has a good time!!!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Good choices.....love Steve Burton!

 

[SC Minnie]

1 more day!!!!

Started packing last night.

 

[AllyandJack]

I will probably be the drunk and/or loopy person trying to drag my small carry-on pullman through the airport. Thankfully, DH will be there to help me along.

I am so excited. I'm nearly packed. I stayed home from work yesterday to do laundry and take care of last minute items. Tomorrow AM I'm driving DH to work at 5:30 (fun). I'll probably be in work by 7am (more fun). I'm leaving work at noon and heading to my parents. We're picking DH up at work at 2pm and we're going right to the airport. My parents will have my car for the weekend - that's why I'm driving DH to work. We didn't want to leave both cars at my parents' place.

I came up with a preliminary schedule for myself and printed out a map. I think the only people I'll be able to get autographs for are Zach, Kendall, Tad and Di. I plan to be in the Zach and Tad lines and, if I can't get there in time, DH is going for Kendall and Di. I picked Di because I didn't want DH to have to stand in a line for a guy and Di was the only female who really coordinated with the schedule. We'll see....I'm sure things will change, but I hope not too much. I managed to be able to squeeze some time Sunday to hop over to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival (last year, after having way too much Wine and not enough Food, I started calling it Food Festivus). I'm also planning to hit the Marketplace Saturday night after the Street Jam.

Lots of plans for such a short trip!

 

[SC Minnie]

My top picks are Aiden, Tad, Zach, and Jamie, then Kendall, Julia, Ryan or Babe. I need a few 'backups' in case the top aren't available. I would love to meet Jack or Erica but they usually out of FP's early for them.


I am getting soooo excited.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Yahooooooooooooo only 1 more day!!!!!!

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

Aiden is my first pic then I will go for Zach, Jamie, Jack or Erica. If I cant get any of them then I will play it by ear. Last year on the second day when I went through the line there were still Erica FP's available but I wanted Tad. Hopefully this year she will have some left. there are alot more AMC people than the other 2 shows so hopefully there will be more available.
