Staying at the boardwalk should make things a little easier. All depends on how long DME takes and worst case scenerio we just go through the regular Kylo Ren meet and greet rather than the disney visa option.

Thanks though...we're gonna need it, lol

Day 1

Got a call on Thursday from Southwest with an offer of $600 in vouchers to switch from the 10:30 flight to the 5:30 flight and we agreed but it forced some changes to our plans. We were able to move all of our FP+ up from 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8 to 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4. After that we went back to the Boardwalk, took a nap and headed back for a 4th FP+ at Rock N Roller Coaster and Fantasmic.

First thing we did was headed to Launch Bay and met Chewbacca. Interactive to a degree since he cant talk but if you talk to him (ask if it's play to fly the Falcon, etc) he'll interact back)

From there we went on to BB-8. It was a cool experience but I really think this needs Rey with it (would be hard to cast). Interacting with Chewie is one thing. He cant speak to you but at last it's a human. Still, cool to see.

We didnt have time to meet Kylo Ren so we will go later this weekend. Up next was the Starlord and Baby Groot meet and Groot which is currently happening at the back of One Mans Dream. Theres no way to say it other than Starlord sucks. I mean, not only does he not look like the character but he doesnt really act like him too. he almost whispers the entire time. Way too shy and timid but to be honest, we were there to see Baby Groot anyway.

Left there and hit Star Wars: A Galaxy Far Far Away which is a stage show happening in front of the Chinese Theater about 6 or 7 times a day starting on the hour. Its usually followed or preceded by the March of the First Order which goes from the front of the park to the stage front and back to the front.

After that we hit Star Tours and then Tower of Terror and headed back to the Boardwalk for a nap. My plan was to hit Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge for lunch but it doesnt open till noon and I was starving about 11:15 so we opted for The Commissary which is just awful but with a 3 am wakeup and having nothing in my system since about 3:30 am, I just needed calories.

Before our nap the wife and daughter got pizza from the Boardwalk Pizza window and I walked over to Epcot and grabbed the Beef Tenderloin Tips w/ Mushroom Bordelaise Sauce, Whipped Potatoes with Garden Vegetables and a Unibroue À Tout Le Monde Saison.

No complaints here, exactly what I wanted and was looking for. Garlic was good in the potatoes but not overpowering. Only complaint is I wish it had more veggies.
