Promise your DH you'll wait for him to do the ride?
And you can see what I left with!
got in a couple rides on Soarin over California!
I also started playing the games via the app. There are several things to do, like scanning barcodes on cargo containers, “hacking” transmissions or various elements in the land.
Like a large chicken tender on a bed of mashed potatoes with peas and carrots mixed in.
It should have been lolLoved all the SWGE updates! I think one of those Mouse Droid popcorn buckets was delivered to my house today
Poor Zach and his outside influences hahaha I told him to go too.
I think you would like it! It’s fun and encourages you to wander about the land!This sounds pretty awesome! It's the Play Disney App, right? I need to download and check it out before my next trip.
Yeah, it would be tough! Maybe monitor how crowds and capacity is going. Maybe they will put in a fast pass for the land itself?think this is what I might do. Now to figure out how to convince my Mom to get up and go for the 6 am EMHs with me. She wants to see the land but knows nothing about Star Wars so the early wake up just doesn't appeal to her at all.
Yeah-you probably would like it! Maybe ask for the sauce on the side though?This sounds like the perfect dish for me!
Glitter ever after on Etsy! They have so many cute shirts!Firstly, I love the t-shirt you were wearing opening day! Where did you get that? Loved it!
They both move completely. The BB units roll around (there are magnets in the motor), though they can be a bit wobbly and it takes practice to make sure the head doesn’t pop off all the time! You also don’t really have customization options, besides the personality chip and initial colors.I had a question about the BB Driods - do they actually roll or just sort of wiggle? Do you know if the R2 units actually move as well?
So, that is a tough question. The experience was very cool and really special! Disney Tourist blog just posted a review and even though they weren’t big SW fans, they still loved it. But it does cost a lot (though once you consider add-ons for the droid, it gets closer) and also takes a lot of time. I don’t know how they will do the lightsabers in the future (maybe do a reservation system like Bibbidi bobbidi boutique) because it can be stressful to try and get a booking right now!Last thing, would you say the Lightsaber experience is worth it (for the money)? I'm not sure how much I need a lightsaber prop for $200USD but the experience itself looks super cool and I really want to do that, so for our visit in October I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of the cost vs the experience.

The R units are much easier to control and go back/forward, turn and spin. They also have lots of colored accessories and other things like blaster and drink attachments.
I love my BB unit but probably will end up getting an R unit eventually too!

So I don’t know if I have a recommendation? Maybe just watch other people around with the droids and sabers and you can decide then?
The droids are the same cost, so no help there!Thanks for that info Lesley! I just came across Disney Tourist Blogs thoughts myself and now I am leaning more towards wanting to do it. However, I'd imagine that getting a reservation to do it is going to be crazy once the park opens to the public. I read something about reservation slots being gone within 2 minutes some of the days during the reservation only period, when significantly less people are being let into Galaxy's Edge. I still can't quite comprehend why Disney made Savi's and Olga's as small as they are, or didn't make multiple show buildings, knowing the crowds they were likely to be getting. I'm hoping that by the time we go most people who are going to do Savi's will have done it by then. And it sounds like the kind of thing MOST people would only do once (given the price tag). But still, I am also coming up against whether or not it's worth prioritising it first thing over other attractions (say ROTR IF it's open when we visit) or Olga's, which I really want to see as well. We will have a few days though, I will just have to plan smart .
Are the BB units cheaper than the R units? I'm torn about which one I want, but leaning towards the BB units because I find them so cute. But I do want it to move (mostly I want to make my brother-in-law jealous because he would go nuts for something like a moving BB or R unit )
Thanks so much! I just love sharing my love for SW!Your report was so well written, that after reading it, I dreamed about being there! Thanks for all the great details! I hope WDW gets it right!
Ha! We are just "revealing" all of our secrets. Ha!A “Behind the Trip Report” photo!
I want want want!!! YUM!Su-Lynn and I both got the Froscato made with Dole Whip Pineapple (Moscato, Vodka, Pineapple), and I assume Steve got the Freujolais (Beaujolais, Vodka, Raspberry), as that is what matches up with the photos! Sooo yummy! I’m also not a huge alcohol drinker, but the Dole Whip definitely masked the flavor of the vodka. I would absolutely get this again!
Perfect! I always struggle with sweet verse savory at brunch.Toast (brioche, mascarpone, caramel sauce). Very yummy (but definitely sweet). I also got a side of the Potato Hash (potatoes and bacon) to cut the sweetness; also delicious!
Andy had someone at his work who said dinner was great. One day.would absolutely come back here and I’m interested to try out their dinner service!
Creepy yet some reason I love it.Though this one looked a bit creepy…
You all look great! I love that dress! I loved that whole line or series of stuff when they released it.
So cute!!! Love him. Morgan uses hers for water at night.
Def! It was less milky.The wine version of it is much better, as the wine helps cut the sweetness.
We had a chandler like this in our dinning room when we moved in but not as nice. And every time someone posts a pic of it, that is all I can think of.
I can see how that would be strange.Zach decided to come along, so that evening he picked me up from the resort and for the first time I was in a car that parked in one of the lots! Not exactly interesting, but still a first for me!
This is totally what I would have picked.I got the Tamarind Braised Short Rib (Parsnip-Potato Puree, Cauliflower, Cipollini Onion, Medjool Date Vinaigrette), which was delicious! It was so tender, I never needed to use a knife (just to actually help push some puree onto my fork). And the glaze was so sweet!
And that!!! Triple Yum.I also ended up getting the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese as an enhancement (Black Diamond Cheddar Cheese, Sherry, Orecchiette Pasta), which Zach and I shared. Huge chunks of lobster and yummy sauce. Another winner!
I know! You had to decompress after watching the episodes!Of course, once that was over, I was still too emotional and could barely sleep, not the best for the conference the next day, but oh well!
Every time I see this i have to think twice as I think you are talking about meThis morning I woke up around 10am (Kari left about 8am as she had a painting class scheduled back at Animal Kingdom Lodge).
D'oh! I've never picked up on the name nor even seen the actual 12 days of Christmas so I'll join you in the club.Wandered through Days of Christmas, and for the first time I noticed the 12 days of Christmas displays throughout the store. (And of course, as I’m writing this, it finally clicked – that’s why it’s called Days of Christmas…)
I feel like this could be a report in and of itself.A “Behind the Trip Report” photo!
Yum! This looks so good. I thought it would be more frozen (and I don't like frozen drinks) but the looks like a perfect consistency.I’m also not a huge alcohol drinker, but the Dole Whip definitely masked the flavor of the vodka. I would absolutely get this again!
This is so on my list to try later this summer!I would absolutely come back here and I’m interested to try out their dinner service! I think they don’t have the Tables in Wonderland discount yet, but they did do a 10% AP or DVC discount.
What an adorable dress. You are star Wars through and through.(I didn't bring this dress because it didn't have pockets, so wasn't the best "park" dress - I will wear it on my Star Wars cruise though!)
All of these eggs are amazing, but I think this is my favorite. I love when they think beyond an "egg" and embrace different shapes and concepts.
Me too!!!And into my favorite Disney World park – Animal Kingdom!
Both look and sound awesome. Tiffins is definitely an in park gem!
I also ended up getting the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese as an enhancement (Black Diamond Cheddar Cheese, Sherry, Orecchiette Pasta), which Zach and I shared. Huge chunks of lobster and yummy sauce. Another winner!
I like that! The Chunky Couple!I met up with the Chunky couple and we headed to grab brunch at Wine Bar George.
Definitely would get that again!!Su-Lynn and I both got the Froscato made with Dole Whip Pineapple (Moscato, Vodka, Pineapple), and I assume Steve got the Freujolais (Beaujolais, Vodka, Raspberry), as that is what matches up with the photos! Sooo yummy! I’m also not a huge alcohol drinker, but the Dole Whip definitely masked the flavor of the vodka. I would absolutely get this again!
Oh no!!!(Of course, before the end of the trip I knocked my new blush down in the bathroom, causing the pressed powder to shatter, and probably a surprise for housekeeping with my towels covered in red stuff!)
Also known as "I don't have to suck in the gut"Another “Behind the TR”
That Alien egg is so cool! It would be so much cooler if it were a working claw!
Yup just like our night huddled in our room watching that episode in the dark. The things we do for the Throne!Once I got back, I got cleaned up and everything ready for my first day at the conference in the morning. Also… it was Sunday night, which meant – GAME OF THRONES! More importantly – The Battle of Winterfell! I had brought my Chromecast, but unfortunately wasn’t able to get it to work properly (I did discover a work around but needed another device to help cast it, so that didn’t work this evening). After I was totally ready, I turned off all the lights and cuddled up in bed with my phone to watch the battle against the White Walkers! Loved this episode so much – so tense and well done! Also, Arya is my favorite character (my cat is named Arya). I don’t want to start a discussion on the remainder of the season – it wasn’t perfect, but I still liked it overall!
I was going to ask about their cost, but figured I had a pretty good idea if the light sabers we're $200.The droids are the same cost, so no help there!
I'm wondering if they thought (and I do) the demand will want off once the initial hard core fans have already bought one.I think they did make a mistake with the lightsaber and cantina being so small, but I guess they are building demand. And if they made the lightsaber experience too large then eventually it wouldn't be full - this way they've basically confirmed they will have a full house for years!
No! Really? Couldn't tell.Thanks so much! I just love sharing my love for SW!
Isn't that 3 hours behind? 3 hours later it would be 8 for West coast.That seems like sleeping in for a Disney vacation, but remember, my body clock still felt 3 hrs ahead
Is this new? I don't remember seeing those.And I got to see some Purple Martin nests on the ride down. I definitely saw them being active this year; I think last year I visited too early in the season
I don't care for DTD much...not a big shopper. I'm not sure I've ever been there, but cool concept.Wandered through Days of Christmas, and for the first time I noticed the 12 days of Christmas displays throughout the store. (And of course, as I’m writing this, it finally clicked – that’s why it’s called Days of Christmas…)
Saw these in April.Loved the Easter Eggs – so gorgeous and detailed!
Why so? An egg and Mr/Mrs potato Head have same basic shape. I thought it was a cute idea. What did you find creepy?Though this one looked a bit creepy…
I just moved down in October. Maybe I need to ping Zach and maybe we can do a dismeet.And it was also here I got to have Dismeet #4, my friend Zach, @AMusicLifeForMe , who had recently moved to Orlando.
Good eye. Never noticed that.Hidden Minnie

I was so happy they got him back in stock a few weeks earlier! The actual drink inside wasn’t the best – basically a melted creamsicle, and I actually like creamsicles. The wine version of it is much better, as the wine helps cut the sweetness.
And into my favorite Disney World park – Animal Kingdom!
Holy crap! I go to Tiffin's almost every trip and am totally getting this next time! WHOA!
Took some photos of the resort as I was leaving, but I pretty much went right from my room to the pickup spot for my Lyft.
We quickly arrived at my next resort – Port Orleans Riverside.
And I got to see some Purple Martin nests on the ride down.
Wine Bar George. This place hadn’t really been on my radar until they added brunch
Very yummy (but definitely sweet). I also got a side of the Potato Hash (potatoes and bacon) to cut the sweetness; also delicious!
And onto Epcot! Very lovely day!
Once I got back, I got cleaned up and everything ready for my first day at the conference in the morning.
