Star Wars Weekend Tips 2012

[CentralFloridian99]

Attack of the Clones is my least favorite movie as well. I'll rank my favorites from most to least:
#1 Empire Strikes Back
#2 A New Hope
#3 Revenge of the Sith
#4 Return of the Jedi ( if it wasn't for the Ewok part this would be #3, nothing against loveable Ewoks I just don't get them)
#5 Phantom Menace
#6 Attack of the Clones

Exactly how I rank them!

he's not terribly old, he is 68. He had surgery on his legs not too long ago.

I was thinking he was as old as Harrison Ford Got my ages mixed up.

Just heading out to pick up DGrD(8) from school on the way to the airport ourselves Can't wait to surprise her in the car

Thanks again to everyone who has answered questions and posted pics and info to keep us updated on SWW. Taking my laptop along so hopefully I can report how our days go - we are going to DHS all three days (at least that's the plan for now). I will have my big green DIS button on my bag and a very tall 8 yo Leia/or Alliance- dressed, overly-excited young girl dragging me around from character spot to spot. Say hi if you see us

What time should we try to get a spot for Hoopla if we just want to watch from the American Idol screen?

What time should we try to get a spot for Hoopla if we just want to watch from the American Idol screen?

We have seen Hoopla three nights, but attempted to see it 4 times. The first night we got there and watched the last Idol show on it and just hung out 'til Hoopla time. The next time we got there about 45 minutes early. The third time we got there 15 minutes early. Got almost the exact same spot each time. The fourth time, there was a threat of inclement weather. We did the same thing as the first time, watched the last idol show. At 7:55 a cm came up to all of us and told us that due to the threat of inclement weather it wasn't going to be shown on the Idol Screen.

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I can't find my answer. I'll be walking over from Beach Club this Saturday morning. I've heard the gates have been opening early, but I haven't heard what time. Can you help? Thanks!

1.I read somewhere from this thread that you can "Build A Droid" for like $11.00, anyone can provide the location for this? is it like those u grap you part and build your own mini lego person?

2. We are not into getting autograph from the celeb., rather my son loves the starwar character, where is a good location to meet and take picutres with the Starwar character?

3. will all the Disney Character ( like mickey, minnie) be in Starwar custome during the SWW?

There are characters all over the park that you can meet.

Mickey, Minnie, Donald & Goofy (in their Star Wars costumes) are right next to the Great Movie Ride.

You can also build one inside Darth's Mall, and its less crowded there. Every time I got off of Star Tours, the Build a Droid line was overflowing.

We were at Tatooine Traders today. My son was going to build another droid, but didn't because they are totally out of the Mickey Mouse Ears/Hats. I asked if they are going to get more by tomorrow, but the cm was unable to answer me.

The build-a-droid is also available on weekdays when it's less crowded.

Thank you! This is very helpful!

You're welcome.

I'll check on that...I was told this past weekend by a CM working Vader's line that he does stay during parade and that he's coming out before 9am.
