This is the line for people without FP, while they started letting people with FP in.

@yulilin3 was able to score late session FP for Tiya Sircar DHS is still giving out first session but these girls didn't want to feel rushed

Bug, your gds requires a car seat? We are at Pop. Thinking of bringing a second car so we can split up going tomorrow. If we bring back a 2nd car I'll let you know. I definitely don't have a car seat.

Thanks for the offer but we are not going to Friday the 22nd. We booked the Ftf prem deluxe package that day but hope to get there early enough so Lexi can see all the opening stuff. We have reservations for rebel lounge this Sunday in the evening so we will just take the bus then.

I'm soooo excited for everyone! Have a blast! Can't wait to read all your reports after work tonight.

Good Morning Everyone (on the east coast at least).

I've been a long time lurker on this thread and I cannot thank everyone enough for the valuable information! I know this comes as terrible timing as we all eagerly anticipate hearing our fellow fans exploits later today, however, I'm working the graveyard shift this weekend which gives me valuable time to get some parks plans in order. My family and I will be in attendance for the final weekend of SWW's.

Anyway, the real reason I am posting now...nearly 2am my time and only hours away from weekend 1's rope drop...really, it's a silly question;

What the hey is the STAR WARS: REBELS event? I'm pretty savvy at finding things on the internet, whether they want to be found or not, but I haven't had much luck finding the specifics about this event. Obviously it is a show, but is it merely a recap of the 1st season? The photo that goes with the event shows Ezra, Sabine, and Chopper...and the description indicates there may be characters in attendance. Is this also a meet n greet with the Rebels characters?

Sorry if I am behind the ball on this one and completely missed any discussion related to it.


Best wishes to all those charging into this first weekend! Just imagine that you are Bothan spies...your reports, for us, will roughly hold the same weight as that of the Death Star plans. May the Force be with you.

Hello and welcome to the Dis! It is available on-demand for free with Comcast. My son watched it twice. Hopefully, we are wrong and it is new footage, but it sounds like a re-cap of the Rebels TV season.

Yes they have the Death Star and Millenium Falcon. Last year we got the Death Star and a Light Saber.
I'm already AT WORK - at least in the physical sense.

[jthornton94]

Keep us posted if the bus situation improves. I really don't want to take a cab.

Steph was interviewed by USA Today in her awesome costume.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

all I know is that Pete Werner said in his review that Tables in Wonderland would be suspended THROUGHOUT DHS for Star Wars Weekends. Not satisfied until I see that someone has actually used it somewhere in DHS (I know the Star Wars meals and Rebel Hangar are not eligible.) may not keep my lunch reservation if it is true. I don't know where he got that info. He sure didn't get it from the TIW website.

and hooray for Steph and her costume!
