I'm sorry the MB stuff didn't work smoothly. Hopefully they will get everything worked out quickly.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. We just found out about the May 14th event yesterday. My Star Wars friend was really bummed that he was too late...although at the time he was still unemployed and would not have been able to afford it. But we are learning a lot this year, and there will be more trips to come I am sure!
can't wait to read all about your adventures!
Looks like this continuous trip report is off to a good start!
Great report! We will be there the last SWW so this report should be fun to follow and see what all the hype is about! Thanks for doing this
It sure is...but we aren't planning on doing anything special...just want to get a feel for what it's like so we can plan for it in the future. We will be in HS on June 12th...so I'm still looking for an activity my boys and I can do...but the trip is really for my daughter's sweet 16! However, couldn't pass up a chance to see what all the hype is about! Any recommendations for that day?
How old are your boys?
I'd recommend booking a FP for one of the Star Wars shows. Catch the parade, it's at 11. If you don't care about all the hype, you can catch part of the parade between Sounds Dangerous and the Backlot Express Restaurant. Only the 501st and the Rebel Legion march past this area, but it's still pretty cool. If you want to see the celebrities during the parade, then I'd suggest finding a spot an hour or more in advance. Big names will be there that weekend. Frank Oz, Ray Park, Peter Mayhew, James Arnold Taylor, Taylor Gray and Ashley Eckstein.
Yes, he really wanted to get some of the special merchandise...maybe next year!
Joining in! We will be there May 31st for our 1st SWW. We are like PP, not looking to see anything in particular, but would love to see the parade. Will definitely try to find a spot early. We have another HS day on May 28th to do rides and such. Also, we have the Jedi Mickey dinner ADR for that day. Kids are starting to really get into SW so we are excited!!
They are 13 and 10. Looks like we can squeeze the parade in and get there early. I'll check what other fast passes are available. Looks like Yoda and Chewbacca will be there then! Cool! Thanks for the info!! You rock!
My oldest son is already a padowan! Got picked at JTA in Disneyland a few years ago! Just booked a FP+ for stars of the saga. The imperial trooper pre show looks awesome! Thanks for the tips! I wouldn't have known about the shows otherwise! Gracias!
