Meanwhile, I have a uni break in May ... so technically, I could come on over, watch the red carpet walk ... hmmmmmm ...

No wonder we had such a problem booking rooms last October for May 19!

I really don't care about him too much, but I now have a picture with someone who was wearing a Super Bowl ring. That brought a tear to my eye big time! In the picture I have a big grin, and the ring on the chain around his neck just glistens to no end. I saw a commercial for a sitcom that he is going to be in next week and guess what?? He is still wearing that ring. And I almost got to touch it. Yeehaw!

Originally Posted By Lisann22 I didn't answer you specifically. Last year it was late June, the day before the park was not that crowded at all. The day of the Premiere naturally Main Street was mobbed but the rest of the park was fine.

The other day I jokingly asked if she kissed him goodnight and she told me he was too tall. She plans on getting her picture taken with the Jack Sparrow character at the park. What fun. He is her first big crush. Oh to be young again.

Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 Ok I would love to be there. Is it worth it. (Of course its worth it, that was a stupid question) But can you see then up close. I have never been to a thing like this. I want to be there so bad, and my boyfriend said that I should just go. Is it really crazy? Please help me make up my mind! Thanks

If you get there early enough, you can camp out along the carpet... People last year got autographs, pictures and talked with the stars...
Originally Posted By Kira Tinkerbell77 If you ask is it worth it you should answer these questions for yourself with some facts in mind. Are you prepared to wake up before the sun rises and sitting and staking a spot out on concrete for a minimum of 12 hours? Are you acknowledging the fact that you may NOT be able to talk to or meet who you WANT to meet? Are you willing to spend your entire day inside disneyland sitting on the curb just to have the possibilty of only ending up seeing a celebrity whiz by? I don't want to be a debbie downer on this situation, because I'm hyped up about the premiere too, but that is the reality of things and you have to prepare yourself for that if you are doubting if something like this is 'worth it' to you. You of course want to go with best hopes and wishes but you also have to go with the reality of 'I might not be able to see, talk to or get an autograph from who I want to'. I always prepare myself for the disappointment but DON'T lose sight of the fact that it might actually happen! Be determined and hopeful, be prepared to be squished against railings in the heat and sometimes very loud screaming or crabby people (all the HUGE lights and crowds of people packed together aren't going to make it a nice 'cool' experience haha), but most of all be prepared to make the best out of the experience that you can. For things like this (being the fangirl that I am) I have found it's best to make nice with all the people that will be surrounding you for the next 12 hours, make friendships and apologize to anybody in advance for and accidental touching or pushing or poking haha. When your friendly with those around you, I've found that they are more willing to let you in front of them for that split second that you want to touch orlando's hand etc... These are just some tips I've learned and been able to use to my advantage when it comes to things like this. For the most part all my experiences have ended up wonderfully and alot of fun (which is why I continue to go back for more haha!). I always come home with new friendships, tons of pictures and great experiences/memories of meeting the celebrities. It's different for everybody and to some people it's not worth it, but to others it is the world! You never know what can happen if you don't try!

The only star we didn't get a picture with was Kiera. That is my goal this year. We had our pictures taken with Johnny, Orly, Christian Slater, Tony Shaloob, Jon Cryer, Kevin Pollack, Jerry Rice, Jon Voight, Cal Ripken Jr, Mark Hoppus, Helen Mirren, Kevin Dillion, Daisy Fuentes, a slew of the pirates from the film, and many many others. We also got loads of pictures of other stars without us in the picture with them.

I really dont mind sitting and waiting. Do you think it will reach capacity that day? Im just wondering if my boyfriend leaves for an hour or so if he'll be able to get back in. I cant wait for this. I love POTC it is my favorite, the ride was my favorite before the movie. SO this is just icing on the cake! Thanks
