Also wanted to mention that the lightsaber umbrellas are on sale at think geek for $30. (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eb54/) Just picked up an obi wan, was bummed when they sold out in week 4.
We are home now and still full of joy from our wonderful trip. I thought FTF was very worth it and we also did the H&V Dinner and loved it too! Not sure I would do H&V every year but I definitely would do the FTF package again. Eating Star wars themed treats felt like my birthday and Christmas all in oneI felt like I was really hooking into my tribe being with my fellow SW fans! I think I love Mark Hammil even more now that I've seen him talk We were at the world for 10 days but we planned our trip around SWW and it was by far the highlight of an amazing vacation.
Hi everyone,
boy that was fun. So...who is going to Anaheim in April?
Here are our photos from this year - we had a great time.
Enjoyed the Rebel Rendezvous
I thought Rebel Rendezvous was a bust! Hardly any exclusive merchandise for the event that cost $250/person! The lines were LOOONG (like 1+ hours just to checkout), no free food, the photos with the characters was just OK, and the majority of the merchandise that we got to buy before everyone else was still available on Weekend 3! There really was nothing special about it at all.
I just was expecting a lot more for the money. I had a much better experience on Saturday night of Weekend 1... just waiting in line for 15 minutes, got what I wanted, and I was out of there quickly.
But my BIGGEST complaint about Rebel Rendezvous was that we didn't get to pre-purchase Weekend 5 exclusive merchandise, like the Limited Edition Magic Bands and some of the new Star Wars Rebels merch. What the heck did we pay $250 for then??
Make sure you send feedback to Disney, they know there were major issues since it not only didn't sell out, you could buy all the swag there. Could have sent one person to pick up everything an entire group of people wanted, might as well have made a group order and all split the $250 fee. Plus no food or drink! I was dying of thirst in that checkout line.
Who should I send it to?
You never could put the borders on your own pictures. It was just paying for them to burn a CD.
It is now a month since we received two of our three D-TECH figures from Weekend #1 and we're still waiting for the last one (princess). Ugh. Other DIS folks in the same boat? After an email and phone call to them weeks ago, a CM said ours was "still in process" and that we should "ignore the ready to ship" message on our order status page (it has read that for about a month) since "that's what it says, but it doesn't really mean that." Ummm...ok?
