    Least expensive things at Disney World.

    For all those pressed penny fans, here is some more info: Pressed Penny List. There are several that take quarters as well as dimes and pennies. The list has the details and check boxes for those among us who are OCD like me. Love a check box and a dry erase board...

    **Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

    Did anyone notice that some of the adults look as if they are photographs while others look like drawings...odd. Maybe the imagineers inserted themselves.

    **Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

    I sure hope that this unofficial blog linked above isn't correct. The rest of the blog says "The event will replace Star Wars Weekends in 2016. There is still no word if Star Wars Weekends will ever return." An earlier post noted that there was a heads up when other events were being...

    Star Wars Weekend - 2016

    I have seen online rumors that these weekends are moving from May/June to later in the summer. I have a family of 3 teens and two college students. We would like to plan a trip to include SWW. We were at SWW in 2013 and loved it! Does anyone know details on what 2016 and SWW holds?

    Make a Wish (and other organizations!) - Wish Trippers...UNITE!! Volume 2!

    If you are staying at GKTW then, no, you don't get the EMH. If your wish agency has you staying on property, then yes, you do. Your GAC will be better than EMH...waaaay better.
