Star Wars Weekend Tips 2012

[Karpkg]

I think if the character's costume is not mostly makeup or an elaborate fabric costume, they can bear a little drizzly rain.

I can only imagine how a wet Chewbacca smells.

 

[Hollywoodhaha]

Yep! You held some artwork for me while I finished up shopping.

Oh my gosh, yes I did! And the guy was confused why I told you to come back to my register?

That's me!

The artwork unfortunately did not survive the transport from the mall to our hotel unscathed. But shipping/packaging stepped up and took care of it so I can't complain. We're now the proud owners of a bent in half print that I love too much to return.

Hi everyone sorry for the poor grammar and spelling im on my phone and have chubby fingers! I just got back from being at the park since 5am i smell like Jabba the Hut. (Guhhh rosss!!!) While waiting in line for Chewbacca Ashley Eckstein walked by with some suits and like a lunatic i yelped " hi ashley!" And was waving like a mad looney. She was so nice said hi told me she liked my shirt(duh it was ahsoka) and told me happy anniversary. DH kept ragging on me( lovingly of course) for being so excited and loud when I saw her but i didnt care it was awesome and I was on cloud 9. I had my fastpass for Nika at 3:15 that was... amazing!!! She picked out my ventress tattoo for me and when i explained what i wanted her to do the look on her face was priceless she did Ventress's voice when she picked it out amd i exclaimed " that it so exciting" . I will post pics when i get home! She really took her time with everyone and you could tell she loves her fans as much as they love her! More later! Time to shower!!!

What an incredible day!! I want to give a shout out to cast members Dylan, Sandi, Mandy, Melissa, and PJ who were amazing and made our day more magical than we ever expected!!

Jeremy Bulloch was so great with ds who was dressed at Boba Fett. It was so much fun!

DD just had a magical moment while shopping in Darths Maul. We saw Jeremy Bulloch and his wife shopping and she walked up to say hi. He was so nice and spoke with her for 5 mins. What a nice man.

Great unexpected magic!!

Oooh, I figured he was going to be the one to get in line for! I wonder who was the 2nd longest line? Was it Daniel Logan or Michonne?

DH said that all the other lines were small in comparison to Jeremy Bulloch. In talking to other guests, it looks like most people's plans was Jeremy Bulloch today and Daniel Logan tomorrow. So it may be reversed tomorrow.

All sww items are 30% off in dar uh mall and some add. Sw shirts

We bought a custome and it rang up at 30% off too!! AND we got the 20% additional off for the PAP on top of that!!

I hope everyone has an awesome day tomorrow and that the weather is picture perfect!!

My son and I are already talking about and planning for next year, we can't wait for our carbon freeze me's to arrive in the mail.

We asked it Holly was working every time we were in Tatooine traders and in Darth's mall. But you were not there.

I was impressed with the young lady who checked us at at Tatooine traders. She greeted my son and I by name when we approached the register. I asked how she knew our names. She had memorized the alphabet on the Star Tour name badges, she said she started by asking guests their names and translated the letters in her head, WOW!!!

I hope everyone enjoys their day tomorrow!!! Last year we were there for the last weekend and had some time to kill on Monday before our fligh so we went to DHS. My son was a little depressed when when arrived and all o the SWW posters at the enternce were taken down.

Congrats to TWO DIS BOARDERS for finding me today!! It made my day and made me happy to explain to my fellow cast member why two people knew me

I was one of them! Nice to meet you Holly. We are heading back tomorrow for the last day. We were there Friday afternoon/evening with all the rain. Hopefully tomorrow will be BEAUTIFUL!

oh no!!! I told them to write fragile on it and put it in a hard packaging


BY THE WAY: You no longer have to be an annual passholder or DVC member to get the exclusive pins/shirt/coin or whatever. We have the pins for them at the register and the shirts are by the vinylmation! Anyone can get them!

Does anyone know about what time the characters will be done tomorrow? Mainly Jedi Mickey and Chewbacca. I'm hoping to go after work but not if everyone will already be gone!

The latest those two characters will be out is 7:00p. But they may finish earlier. Poster kennythepirate earned my referral when his posted appearance times for the characters I wanted to meet were spot on last weekend. YMMV, but I doubt by much.

Here's the link: http://kennythepirate.com/star-wars-weekends/star-wars-weekends-characters/

According to it, Chewy meets continuously until 6:30p and Jedi Mickey's last appearance begins at 5:35p. He will be out for only about 20 minutes afterwards.

I can't believe today is the last day of SWW!! I went the first week & already posted pics & reports, but I just wanted to pop in again and say thank you to everyone who posted in this thread! I didn't miss one post, and all the info before attending SWW was so helpful to us having such an amazing time! And then for those posting during the event, I just love reading how everyone's time went! I normally wouldn't keep reading a thread after attending, but I just couldn't stay away and wanted to keep reading more.

I don't really like going to Disney in May, it's just SO hot (and I go often in Sept and think it's crazy hot, but for some reason, the heat this time really affected us.) But even though I was so excited to finally attend SWW, I still didn't expect to love it SO much! And even though I got to do pretty much everything I wanted, there's still a lot I didn't get to do, so I'm thinking I might go again next year.

So thank you, everyone, and may the force be with you.

In line for James arnold taylor. cant believe this is the last day. These lay 4 weeks have flown by!

 

[lovethattink]

Jeremy Bulloch still had longest line today

We are in Nika's line. My DD11 has the Ahsoka long sleeve shirt. Can't believe it's the last day already. Lines are short...longest is Jeremy it's past the bag check but not that long

 

[MelissathePooh]

I'm having separation anxiety! We're most likely skipping today since we are leaving for home tomorrow and want to do a few other Disney things before we go.

The guests were great fun this year. The only celebrity we didn't meet was Jeremy Bulloch as we already have his autograph on our Trilogy poster. We totally forgot about Dave Filoni yesterday - trying to catch stupid Kit Fisto!

It seem REALLY crowded the past two days compared to the other weekends. I'm kind of okay skipping today, but still a little sad its over. I doubt we will be coming back next year - we're planning on going to Aulani/Hawaii instead.

Our favorite morning CM, Miss Melanie won't be there next year either though - that actually made us feel a little less sad. She's moving to a big role in Fantasyland Congrats to her!

Hope everyone has a great day today! MTFBWY alwatys!

Park opened at 7:30. Went to darth maul and bought one of the chewbacca lanyards bandolier. There were only two left and a guy got the last one. Still plenty of sww merch with 20% off, most of it in large sizes. Plan on watching parade, all shows. Got fp for Michonne for 10:30 and Nika for 5:45

 

[yulilin3]

Melissathe Melanie is great isn't she? It's sad so many cm's are leaving this event. They are the ines that know the ins and outs of it and when they get new people it gets a tad disorganized.
We are also missing Eric and Gus from last year. Hope you have fun in Aulani

All right gang. Final report. Watched the parade and got sunburnt waiting in our spot. Watched all 3 shows; Dave Filoni came out during behind the force and gave a special mickey ears clone helmet to Ashley and James...the fab 4 came out at the end of stars of the saga.
met michonne and Nika and both were great. My dd11 asked nika to do the voices of chum chum and asajj talking to each other for her ringtone; so cool.
not sure if were staying for hoopla. So sad it's over
