Tips and Tricks for Star Wars Celebration 2017

[Walt's10thOldManZach]

My fiancé and I were thinking of packing up and getting away for a few days to our favorite place, WDW as well as visit the Star Wars Celebration as we are huge fans of the franchise. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how long we'll have to wait to get a good seat for panels and screenings? Also, I know the Dis team will be there, any hints as to where we can look to spot them?

We're looking into pet friendly hotels as well so we can bring our best friend along for the ride!
Cant wait, we are excited and would love some tips and tricks to know before going into new territory with Star Wars Celebration as neither of us have ever been to one before. Thanks!!

The convention center is closer to Universal, thus you could stay at Drury Inn, which is pet-friendly. Disney is about 20 minutes from Drury with regular traffic -- but that can turn into much more. If going to both places, you are going to be struck driving up and down I-4.

It's Easter weekend in Orlando. Expect much more traffic. The worst experience I've ever had in Orlando and at The World was Easter weekend. I'll never, ever set foot in that town again if it's Easter. We were going to go to Celebration this year, as are many of our fellow 501st Legion friends, but when we saw it was Easter we couldn't hit the "cancel ticket purchase" button fast enough.
