Weekend III was our big all SWW/all the time weekend. It was also the the weekend we all started coming down with a hainous sinus infection.
School is normally out on Thursday (or earlier) but this year it was a Friday. After school we dropped off the cat at Best Friends and went to Caribbean Beach. I had earlier canceled a Rebel Hanger reservation, so we didn't even go to the park. It was a weird start for us.
Saturday (5/30) was our FTF package day. We got there at 8:45-early enough to sign our daughter up for PMC.
We got our FTF credentials and then went through the Build-your-own-
Lego line. After that we got in our parade position. Our daughter was sitting up front and we were behind the kid area. It was about 10:15. We ate a Mickey Bar and popcorn and then it started to rain. We abandoned our parade spot and ran for cover at the Rebel Hanger area. We stayed until it was almost parade time (and people were looking for spots to eat). We went to the spot across from the JTA stage and watched the 501st March by. And we all know that is the best part of the parade anyway.
Let me just say that sitting in the Rebel Hanger area with just the music and decorations (no Rebel food or characters) was just as awesome. I loved the atmosphere so much.
After the parade we had lunch at ABC Commisary. I really enjoyed the burger both times I ate there.
Eventually we made our way over to SWR show. We had fastpasses that day and got pretty good seats. We took a break at the Writer's Spot.
After that we got in line for Warwick's show. This time we had the FTF pass.
We ate dinner across from the theater and then opted to go ahead and get in line for the dessert party. I think it was about 7:30.
During all of our visits to SWW, we kept trying to go on the Great Movie Ride but the line was always insane.
The dessert party was good but unfortunately my daughter was starting to feel the effects of the sinus infection. It really made me kind of sad because the previous year, she was eating desserts and dancing and we just had the best time. This year we were just a bit more subdued.
Sunday our daughter woke up with a fever, so we took her to the near by Centra Care. It is a great place that I hope you will never need!
The daughter said she had a sinus infection and gave her an antibiotic. We had made the appointment online (so easy) and were in and out in an hour.
The girl said she felt better so we decided to try for SotS. We thought we were going to be late but we actually wound up being first in the fast pass line. We got there right before the Rebels show let out.The show was great. Warwick Davis is hilarious and so was Daniel Logan!
I would say that what worked for us is that my husband or I would stand in line with the small SW umbrella that we brought with us while the other parent and our daughter stood nearby in the shade.
We then went to Rebel Hanger. I enjoyed it a little better this time. We didn't go wild with the drinks, so it was a lot cheaper.
. We got the fries, the chips and sith (?) and cheese plate. I learned that I like my cheese to be cold and straight from the fridge.
One of the Jawas came to the table but it was the one day we had nothing to trade. Then one of the Cantina Band members came by and sat with us for a little bit.
The key here is to have an empty chair closest to the aisle.
We went back to the hotel after that.
And that pretty much ended SWW for week III.
We did have one more SW day coming up and it turned out to be my most favorite.
