Star Wars Weekend Tips 2012



When we saw Ashley at Darth's Mall, we also saw David hanging around nearby with a VIP lanyard around his neck. I approached him and asked if he was Ashley's husband and he grinned and said yes. We chatted a bit, I mentioned that I saw on their website that he's involved in the Her Universe merchandise as well and he said he was enjoying this a lot. We got a pic with him as well.




Oh.... I wish I wouldn't have read that. My husband is THE BIGGEST CARDINALS FAN! I'm going to have to rethink our TP to fit Ashley in. We hadn't planned on celeb autographs, but with Father's Day coming this might be an awesome present for my DH. I know, I know....it is about SWW. :rotfl2:

Do you know if he is with Ashley every weekend? TIA
 
I just printed Kenny the Pirate's times list as well! (Thanks, Kenny!! :thumbsup2) We have been looking for that type of list for years!!

We are outta here at 6:15am tomorrow and will be at SWW Fri & Sat. Hope to see some you in the lines! :goodvibes
MTFBWY!


Maybe I'll see you on Friday -- or around the 'hood (a/k/a SAB)! I'll have a LGMH on my backpack. Have fun!
 

I had asked this a couple of days ago, but I don't think anyone answered.

How long are the shows like Stars of the Saga?

The guys we were in line with were mentioning Carrie Fisher(Princess Leia) was going to be there. I asked if Carrie will show up again for Disney and they confirmed that her behavior was so bad probably not. The key phrase they mentioned is that Disney decides who to invite; so we'll see.

How was her behavior bad? popcorn::

Rumors are (I wasn't there to witness this) but she had drinking problems while meeting guest and her behavior was very erractic

I heard un-Disney-like behavior. (I wasn't there either, just hearing from those who were). Swearing about the heat in front of the kids, off the wall comments; since Disney is sponsoring these celebrities they're supposed to act in a professional manner. So even if they are very popular, if they don't keep with the Disney image then they won't be invited.
 
Stars of the Saga and Obi Wan and Beyond around 40min.
Behind the Force around 30min.

Thank you so much!

I'm not sure if I can pull off both, so if I had to choose, which one (SotS or OW&B) would you choose? Kids are 9 and 5.

Also, if SotS is at 3:15 and I have a 4:00 ADR at Sci-Fi, do you think I could make it? I'm thinking I'd get there right on time to 5 minutes late.

Sci Fi will take you. They've been pretty accommodating especially because of SWW stuff going around.
 
Thanks for all of the tips everyone! I can't wait to go next Sunday! Even though I am only seeing 1/2 a day of SWW, I hope all of these tips will help me to see as much as I can!

Do you know if he is with Ashley every weekend? TIA

I don't know, but now that he's involved with the Her Universe merchandise and he's retired from baseball, he'll probably be hanging around. Sign by her merchandise says she signs the merchandise Saturdays 3-4 PM, there might be other days but I only took note of when we'd be there.

Here he is with my kids.

Saw a fan Padme dressed as a handmaiden walking around Darth's Mall. She obliged me a pic next too...Naboo of course!

They are 2 very different shows.
SotS is a question and answer where the visiting celebs get interviewed by James A Taylor, they talk about their experiences with the SW films, how they got the part, etc. The pre-show with the Stormtroopers is hilarious.

OW&B is all James A Taylor telling you about how he got into voice over acting, he does all of his voices in a fun way. It's incredible how talented he is and how many things he's done that you've probably have heard him on. I love this show.

You would have to talk to the kids and see which they would prefer...are they SW fans? are they fans of cartoons? JAT has done alot of cartoons and video games that they'll probably recognize.

I would go to SotS for the pre-show then leave right after that (seat yourself so you can make a quick getaway) and then stay for the whole OW&B show.
 
I will watch for you!

I'm going to send you a PM just to give you some additional information.

They are SW fans and cartoon fans. They love Johnny Test -- they'd probably find that so cool.

Is there a way to make a quick getaway without looking completely rude (and making a commotion)? My older DS would probably really enjoy both shows, but I'm thinking the younger one may be more into OW&B. Sounds like OW&B is the way to go, but that pre-show has me so intrigued. Decisions, decisions.

Very easy and many ppl left and many ppl came in during the show. It's a theater and you just sit in the back or on the end of a row. You choose your own seats.
 
I heard un-Disney-like behavior. (I wasn't there either, just hearing from those who were). Swearing about the heat in front of the kids, off the wall comments; since Disney is sponsoring these celebrities they're supposed to act in a professional manner. So even if they are very popular, if they don't keep with the Disney image then they won't be invited.

One way to get yourself booted from Disney as a celebrity is to use one of George Carlin's seven words at a Disney-sponsored appearance. There was a female performer at one of the eat to the beat concerts that used a four letter swear word in two different shows. Her third show did not happen. Nor did her scheduled shows the next day. Apparently after the first show they asked her not to use that word anymore and she did it anyway.
