We wanted to get fast passes for Jeremy Bulloch, Boba Fett from Empire strikes back and Return of the Jedi. Jeremy Bulloch was the longest line there. We waited in line and after about 15 min we got our fast passes! Our signing time was for 5pm. There were storm troopers on the top on the entrance. They were talking to the crowd. That was cool! They let us into the park at 7:45am. We headed to the Areosmith roller coaster and got fast passes for it then got in line for it. The ride opened at 8am. Then we went on Tower of Terror with no wait time twice. Then we went back to the Star Wars warehouse and I realized I had bought the wrong picture to be signed by Jeremy Bulloch. I had bought Janga Fett. So I found a nice certified drawing of Boba Fett and asked someone who worked there if Janga Fett and Boba Fett were related. They said Janga Fett cloned Boba Fett. So I thought we could still use one of the Janga Fett pictures and the Boba Fett picture I had just bought. We got in line to have our picture taken with C3PO and R2D2. (in the store.)The girl behind us had a tattoo of R2D2 on her leg and it said your my only hope. It was pretty cool. When we got to C3PO he asked us our names and my son said, Logan and C3PO thought he said Luke and got all excited and said,"Master Luke!" We told him it was Logan and then he asked us where we were from and we told him California and he said,"Oh the golden state. My Favorite." That was fun. I bought star wars shirts for my grandson and star wars toys too. Then we went back on Areosmith with our fast passes and then got fast passes for TOT again. We waited in the 30 min line for TOT. That ride is so fun! We saw the Indiana Jones show. It was good I had never seen it. Then we went to Pizza planet so my son could play some games. We walked around some stores after that. When it started to get hot we went back to CB for a swim. We got back to HS around 4pm. We got fast passes for TOT again. I know it's a lot but we love that ride. I think we went on it 6 times that day. Then we went over to the American idol building to want for our signing time. While we were waiting it starts pouring, thunder and lightning! It was bad, luckily we were already undercover. When it got close to 5 I asked the cast member if they were going to keep the celebrities out in the storm. They said they would stay outside so we had to get under this little umbrella with some other people. We watched these little kids running through puddles up to their knees! Then when the storm pretty much stopped they decided to move the celebrities inside. Really! So we went to the building and only had one person in front of us. My son was like, "Mom he's old!" (Jeremy Bulloch did not hear this.) We got to meet Jeremy Bulloch and when I handed him the Janga Fett picture he said, "You know you bought the wrong picture." I told him what happened and he said "it's okay they are related." He said the picture of Boba Fett was nice. My oldest son (26, he wasn't with us) is a big star wars fan. He is getting an awesome birthday present this August. We got our picture taken with Jeremy Bulloch too. Luckily we had plastic bags and ponchos to protect the pic's from the rain. We went back to CB for dinner at the food court. We had pizza and it was good. And not busy at all. No one was in line. Then we went back to our room to pack everything up. We had to leave the room at 6:15am to catch the ME bus back to the airport. so sad this was our last day but we had a blast and can't wait to go back!

We got to sit where we wanted and together. I like southwest. They are always nice. Sometimes they are funny. like on the way to Orlando we had a funny flight attendant. He was telling people to take any seat. That they all were equally uncomfortable. And when we got to Las Vegas they said welcome to Lost Wages. Plus your bags fly free. 2 per person.

Originally Posted By FenwayGirl I agree with SeaFairy...SW is a great airline. We flew Jet Blue last month and they were now half as nice as the SW cres
Originally Posted By gardenrooms Thanks for the reports, seafairy. Your son sounds like a great kid - a lot of fun. You two sound like you have a wonderful relationship. Having just come back from a wonderful trip to WDW ourselves (with my DS and DDIL), I have especially enjoyed reading about your adventures.
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Just read your trip report. I am not a tattoo person but agree hers would be cool to have seen. Last week I saw a Star Wars t-shirt at DL with Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper on the carousel! Their were only a few t-shirts. I thought those were pretty cool. Is that the design you bought? SOunds like you had a great trip. Thanks for posting; wish more people would cause there is always something special and unique to share on LP!

I looked all over HS for it. I didn't find it. I love reading trip reports and when my trip is getting closer it's even better!
