The Rebel Forces Were Strong But The Smith's Are Stronger TR-7/20 FINAL THOUGHTS

[Tnkrbelle565]

Wow, crazy crowds and waits that day! Yikes! It's so fun to hear about someone else's SWW...we had some of the same experiences. Going through the roped-off part of the store for souvenirs. And I think we have a very similar picture of that turkey sandwich! By the way, I also am a fast walker and have a hard time being stuck behind slow-walkers, so I can relate to how you must have been feeling on that long walk.

Can't wait to read more!

Slow walkers...gonna add them to "people who should be kicked out list"! Right along with people who use flash photography on rides

Somehow, I have missed the last 1000 updates!

I would love to see what you bought at the special shop. After trying to get off Star Tours and trying to get out of the shop I decided we didn't need anything, not that we even looked. I am sure Dallas would have loved something special but he none the wiser.

Aisling was just adorable showing off her dress for all the CM's! I loved how the lady kept coming back for her and then took the boys too! She was enjoying all the twirling!! I am so thankful to Randy for our fastpasses, otherwise we would have had to trek it across the park immediately to get them.

Your parade photos are fabulous (as was your spot, thanks). I have got to agree with Stacy, Aisling was SO well behaved! And her boys too! I love good kids! Good mamas make good kids!

Wicket is my favorite ewok! I had him when I was little and he was the kid in my dollhouse. Luke and Leia were the parents. Every once in a while I let Han in too. Guess he was the uncle??? Love that Luke was looking for his page! How cute, bummer to miss CP30. Did you ever end up seeing him?

Your turkey sandwich looks delicious! We started to head there at one point but never made it!

How was your trip to Maine? Did you post photos on facebook? I'll have to look. I have missed so much lately. It sounds heavenly though.

Can't wait to hear about camp. I wish I could go to camp with Ash.

hi Sarah!!! Did you at least get some photopass pics taken of you guys????

Aisling wants to play with Ben. You need to come swimming soon!!!

I have so much catching up to do on your TR! Ben would love to come swimming, let me know some good dates and we'll figure it out!

Sorry for the double post

The guy kept yelling "Ma'am, Ma'am we rent strollers you know" I thought he was making fun of all the bags I was carrying! Until he said "you don't have to carry your baby in a backpack" These are the little touches that make me love Disney

I always wish I had more time to just sit and watch/listen to them!

Welcome back!

I just bought pins and those kooky pens. Yup, $160 for that. Oh and we got the blanket that came with purchase. It's still in the package as are the pens. They might end up on Ebay!

We did not end up seeing CP30 I didn't want to wait in that line again just in case we didn't get him.

Maine was good. No pics. I didn't even take my camera. Shocking I know!

Here is the website for Aisling's camp. I wish I could go with her too! Sounds better than work!

We are going to be around most weekends. Pool does some money from the entertainment fund!

I always wish I had more time to just sit and watch/listen to them!

Me too! Next time

Thats crazy that it took you an hour!

No pics of the souvies?

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Wow - I can't believe the crowds you had to battle! And how scary to think that Kristen was almost lost - thank goodness that woman returned her safe and sound!

On a happier note - your lunch from starring rolls looks great! Much better than the other CS options at DHS!

Nah....I need to take one. I also need to take a pic of the super cute shirt I was sporting on Day 1. There are no pics of me from that day. Jessica made me the shirt so I have to show it off.

Kirsten stayed in the room for the rest of the trip...and she will never be allowed in the parks again. For the 2nd trip in a row, Aisling HAD to bring an AG to the parks and then didn't want to carry her. We are done with AG coming to Disney. Too much worry about losing $100 doll!

Starring Rolls has definitely become our new CS of choice at DHS. I really don't like CS at DHS. We always end up at Pizza Planet because Aisling wants to eat there and I'm sooooo sick of it.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Ok...I googled SWW souvies and found a page with the things I bought

We got both sets of the Kooky Pens

I got Stacy's boys both this pin

Aisling got this pin plus 3 others that weren't LE

By the prices on this site...I really should sell everything! They are going for more than double what I paid!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Who is ready for an insane number of pics of....

Jedi Training????????????

Sadly, these do not include the PP pics OR the video...which I will be posting a later date (when Stacy mails them to me )


First the kids got their robes and light sabers and did their group lesson

First up to battle Vader was Jackson, then Aisling had her turn, and finally Cooper...who was really apprehensive about the whole thing. Dallas was battling that bald chick on the ground (again, not a SW fan...no clue what her name was but again very impressed that she managed not to sweat off her makeup...esp in velour!)

Wooo Hoooo with Vader defeated, the Padawans could celebrate

Aisling had some issues getting her robe untangled from her bows and needed a little assistance!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

When the kids got off the stage, the Cantina Band members were standing around and admired Aisling's dress

This guy was pretty cool and spent a bunch of time with the kids

All pumped up from their battle, we took the kids over to see some more characters. Darth Maul's line wasn't too bad so he was up next

Whatcha think they are looking at????

Boba Fett was up next. This is when I saw Jen but thought she may have been an illusion Another line where we thought we were getting Jango Fett but they switched just as we got up front. Meant nothing to me but Stacy's boys seemed to know the difference

Characters done for the time being....we decided to cool off with a ride but which shall it be

WARNING! WARNING! Reading Kristine's TR makes you spend money!

I did not buy from that site though! His prices are a wee bit high! Stuff isn't going for nearly that on ebay! I bought him the SWW 2010 pin. I thought about the kooky pens (when we were at the park) but wasn't loving them. We did get the SW vinylmation pins right before we left.

I don't think we left with anything that day! I was trying to not spend much!

 

[jessica52877]

I have Aisling and the boys on video too doing jedi training. I'll have to see if I know how to get it off the card.

Love the guy helping her get her hood off! She was so cute!!

Cute pictures with Darth and the Fett guy! I don't know who is who either. Nor do I really want to know! LOL!

I think i'm just going to throw the video on YouTube and post the link. Too much work to figure out how to post a video here!

Aisling doesn't look one bit intimidated by Darth Vader. I know when we ran into him at DS one day even I was thrown off.

Love the picture of the paper sticking to the sweat on their hands.

Your talk of the crowds is making me nervous for my 4th of july trip. EEKS!

I couldn't get the links to work for the merchandise which is just as well as I have a star wars fan at home.

A friend passed on this website where you insert your own faces for the star wars characters. It's very cute. Check it out if you haven't already.

Oops...guess the links are temporarily unavailable

Check out FB for a crowd shot. i posted some today. On the actual 4th, I know the park fulls to capacity early in the day so if you plan to be IN the parks that day, get there and stay there.

Aisling did jump when Darth Vader first came out but then was fine. He made some comment about battling a female and the gloves came off

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Aisling is so adorable in her robe! And is it bad that I am seriously creeped out by some (most) of these SW characters? I would not want to cross paths with them!

A LOT of them were creepy. And they purposely came up behind people and scared them...like Aurra Sing (the girl with the black spike coming out of the top of her head from the parade pics).
