Two quick questions (apologies if answers already on the board -- I've fallen a bit behind this week):

1) Padawan Mind Challenge - in past years, one was SW and one was Clone Wars, right? Park map for this weekend seems to indicate only Clone - is that correct? DS only knows SW and would love to do it.

2) Autographs - DS is interested and I'm not so I'd give mine to him. Are they separate lines for each celeb or can we wait together and when we get to the front, I ask for one person and he ask for another so he can get different celebs? He's too young to wait on a line alone.

Thanks! Leaving a week from today (although a loooooooooong week away work-wise).

I'm looking at the twitter pics at studioscentral.com.

Heads up before heading out for your Carbon Freeze Me appointment: Warning to those who will be dressing up for SWW and will be doing the Carbon Freeze Me:

Pull hair away from the face.

Remove facial costume makeup for best results.

Remove glasses and

Yes I saw those pictures! I like the one of the carbonite statues and the prisoner pictures. Does anyone know all that comes with the freeze me package? Do you have to pay extra for the pictures, or do they come with it?

. 1. One is SW and one is CW. 2. You need to have the FP and wristband to be with him.

1) I read this too, that would suck because alot of kids love the original movies...I just tweeted the question to Matt who's at SWW right now

2) they are separate lines, so you and your child would have to split up, the lines are very close together so depending on how long each one is you could still see him but he would have to stay in the other line, if he's too young then he would need to stay with you...pick the celeb he most wants to meet.

I'm hoping the same thing too. I'm not a big CW fan myself, and it would SUCK if it was that way. I have better priorities for the event though, as PWMC was "Do it if I have time"

Can anyone tell me when the ticket windows opened this morning? Unfortunately, we will need to get new annual passes for our upcoming June trip and need to wait until Friday morning to be able to use for next June SWW trip as well.

MTFBWY!!

I think around 5:30. Not sure TBH.

DS is very excited about PWMC if it's SW -- he's very into obscure facts about SW, but knows nothing about CW. Hopefully someone who's there today can confirm later whether they did one of each and what time each is. DS also will want to see Ray Park demo so if there is a SW PWMC, we are hoping for 2pm rather than 6pm.

The movie saga is usually the 6 PM one.

Not sure how young your DS is but my then 7yr old waited in line on her own w/o issue. There were 4 celebs that weekend because DH was in 1 line, DD7 was in another, DD13& DS6 were in another and I was in the final line with DS5. I was able to pop in and out of the areas to feed and water the kiddos while they waited and it was all really in a small area so easy to keep an eye on everyone. I just plugged in the kids to their video games and they were happy to sit and wait.

Crash on I4 just east of exit 62. All lanes blocked and have to exit at 62.

Is this still the one from 4:30 in the morning?

Oy - that would mean Sci-Fi ADR at 5:30, PWMC at 6 and Ray Park around the same time. Would have to skip 2 things DS really wants. I guess that's why people devote multiple days for SWW.

A bit confused by a prior post. If DS (who is 8) and I wait on different lines so we end up w/ FP for two celebs instead of two FP for the same person, when it comes time to return for the autograph, will I be able to stand with him or I can't even be with him when he meets the celeb if I don't have my own FP?

Any idea how much the pictures cost? They look really cool, but I am already spending more than I want on the carbon freeze me for myself and my son.
