Can we find out which characters were out roaming? (Gamorreans, Tusken Raiders, etc.)? Thank you so much!!

So if characters roam the Rebel Hangar during the meal, will they come out on the weekdays as well? Can someone ask? @yulilin3 ?

Josh from easywdww will be there Monday so we'll find out.

Loved reading the real time updates from today. Can't wait until next week. A little nervous about the chewie run!

 

[Artax]

Do you recall an approximate time that you met Ezra and Sabine?

Photo time stamp says 7:36pm

 

[BadgerGirl84]

Yes, Leia was out roaming this morning with no wait.

So Deluxe is the $99 package, correct? Did anyone here do that package? Did it feel more lux or spacious compared to Premium for both the parade and the desert party?

I walked through that area once today and saw Gamorrean Guard, Zam Wessell without even trying.

Yes, Leia was out roaming this morning with no wait.

So Luke and Leia were both out...near Star Tours? We are going to look for them tomorrow.

We are doing the Vader run tomorrow morning...anyone is welcome to join...except Artax and his son....I won't mention who beat DH to Chewie this morning....

And Stormtrooper.

DS's General Grievous costume just arrived today. We leave in a week and will be there for Saturday of Mem. Day Weekend. It'll be our second one -- he was spoiled last time by getting picked for the parade as Vadar.

For those who attend tomorrow, would love info on:

(1) what time people were let into the park (we want to get in at RD, but don't care so much about arriving earlier for autograph FP)

(2) how long the SWW breakfast takes at Sci-Fi (and waiting time from when you show up with a reservation) since we have tight timing with the parade given that they moved up parade a half hour from last year

(3) a general sense of how long the lines are for the A-ticket rides (RnR, ToT, TSMM) at various points of the day without FP+

(4) how long it takes at various times to get into Darth Mall and what the best times are

Thanks!

1.- this morning the let us in thru tapstiles at 7:35am, stormtroopers dropped the rope at 7:48am
2.- about an hour
4.- better early in the morning or after 4pm

Anyone got a video of today's parade? I was busy graduating so could not track any potential feeds of it. Got more graduating to do tomorrow AM early. I kinda want to see the order of troopers for the 501st so I know where I will be lined up this year. THanks in advance.

A word to the wise on RH... The characters stop at a certain time. We had a 7:40 reservation. We noticed Greedo walking around, but he didn't stop by our table. He went in at 7:45. No one else came out. Our friends has a 6:25 and saw Greedo and Sabine and Ezra. We saw no one. The manager came over as he noticed us waiting and let us know that the characters were over at the fireworks preshow. Good and drinks were great, but experience was disappointing after previous reports.

So you want an earlier time I would think.

How long after you got there did he come out? How long in line did you wait once he arrived? I'm kind of regretting an 8 am Sci Fi meal now because we won't have an opportunity to meet him this way:/

 

[Tltorrez]

Dumb question...

If Senator Palpatine is not signing autographs, can we still get a picture of him? Do we have to wait in line?

No meet and greet. Just the show. Great show though.

 

[Itinkso]

Yes, Leia was out roaming this morning with no wait.

Was Leia near Star Tours or in the Streets area? I'd like to update the info from today, thanks!

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

Roaming we saw a Tuskin Raider, Zam and a Gamorrean Guard. We looked for stormtroopers, jaw as etc in the places we saw them last year but had no luck I think our timing was off

A good note the Blister pack line runs on the side of the pack this year...last year it was in front of it. Last year we stood in full sun. This year it was in the shade ...Much better!

So you can keep the bucket if you order the cupcakes?

W ate there today and ordered the cupcake trio-the waitress said we couldn't keep the bucket they came in!

That can't be right, not with the price they charge.

Whoa really? So you spent $16 on 3 mini cupcakes? I thought for that price you would get the container...we are going on Sunday ...I was thinking about the cupcakes!
