Hi, First post !

I went to this 2 years ago and although not an autograph collecter was wondering does anyone know who will be attending the event this year, as it might make a big difference to the amount of people there.
Hoping to go on the first day (20th May)

At the entrance of star tours you see the AT-AT, to the left of it is the stage, when asked who wants to be a Jedi make sure your DS is at the front and jumps n shouts for all he's worth you never know, WHEN he's picked he gets dressed as a jedi , gets some training, and gets to fight either Darth Vader or Darth Maul, all kids get a figure and a certificate.

WOW what a day!!!


MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
