BIG - Awesome news! I'm glad you guys get to go back sooner than you were thinking. Let us know where you end up staying.

Worst case scenario we can just book a room at a moderate...which would cost more...but we can swing it.
I'm trying to convince DW to go to DHS during Star Wars Weekend since that will be the last one for the year...so we'll see how that goes.

You gotta go to DHS any way to ride Star Tours 2.0! How could you go all that way and not ride it?!?theBIGyowski wrote:Worst case scenario we can just book a room at a moderate...which would cost more...but we can swing it.

Oh...we'll ride it...just whether or not we go to DHS during Star Wars Weekend. The downside to that is that the lines for ST2 will be much longer on those days.mindflipper wrote:You gotta go to DHS any way to ride Star Tours 2.0!

Re: I have only ......... days/months till I go again.
Hmmmmmm, like the lines won't still be long when it's not Star Wars Weekend? Remember, ST2 will only be about month old, the ride changes every time you ride it, and school will be out - I think the lines will be long no matter what while you're there. Don't forget to get FP's.

I'm actually kind of excited about ST2 also because it should make lines for TSMM much shorter!mindflipper wrote:Hmmmmmm, like the lines won't still be long when it's not Star Wars Weekend?

Yes we expect the long lines for ST2 but they will no doubt be longer that last Star Wars Weekend because of the fanboys (and fangirls) riding again and again.

Get up and go to DHS really early, then you can grab a FP for TSMM, run over and ride ST2 before the lines get too long, and then back to TSMM!!theBIGyowski wrote:I'm actually kind of excited about ST2 also because it should make lines for TSMM much shorter!mindflipper wrote:Hmmmmmm, like the lines won't still be long when it's not Star Wars Weekend?

I would guess you might be right about Star Tours taking a little of Toy Story's crowds. That will be nice

...or just take away from lesser attractions like the car stunt show or the Indy Jones stunt show.

We'll have to switch mid-trip...but at least we're moving up!

Can't wait to see your trip report about the OKW and BL Towers. Maybe you can include a photo of the rooms?

Good idea ~ I'd love to see the rooms. I know someone that stayed in BLT shortly after they opened and they loved how close it was to the parks!mindflipper wrote:Can't wait to see your trip report about the OKW and BL Towers. Maybe you can include a photo of the rooms?

I'm hoping I will be able to go to the little Sub DLR meet next week.
