I know I always get a little antsy with SWW celebrity lists every year but we're two weeks away & all I've heard is that Billy Dee Williams will be there June 7-9th. Why have they not released the full schedule yet?



Do you remember what day you went on to see Billy Dee? I was there that year & my friend & I were the first two people to get Stand By tickets. We went on Sunday. Just thought it would be kinda odd that we would have been right next to each other & never known it. Haha.
Ray Park, Warwick Davis, Billy Dee.

I can't really recall if it was Saturday or Sunday. I am thinking it was Saturday, but I am not really sure.

You may have answered my question for me, openendedsky. We got in line at around 6am on Sunday. I'm thinking MasterYoda probably went on Saturday if he got there at 3am.
If that is the case then it was Saturday. At 3 am we were just past the turn going toward the boat dock. By 6 am I could not even see the end of the line.

When we got there at 6am on Sunday we were in about the same spot you were on Saturday at 3am. I was surprised we were even the first standby passes, I figured we'd be way down the list. But you know what? We ended up heading to MK after we got our passes, went back to DHS in about 2 hours, got in our standby line & went right in. Almost felt like having a Fast Pass anyway. They had to keep Mr. Williams indoors for a "medical condition". He did not look well at all, but I've seen him on TV since & he seems just fine. Methinks maybe he was just hungover. ;)

He was not the most personal Star Wars celeb I have met either. Of course when you are comparing him to someone like Ray Park or Daniel Logan, it is easy to be a bit jaded. He pretty much did the sign and shove with everyone I saw including myself.

Yea, I completely agree. I don't think he was really hungover, but he definitely had this "when can I leave" air about him. I did get to shake his hand & told him thank you for coming out for the fans. He commented on the Lando Mighty Mugg I had him sign because he had never seen one before. But yea, after that it was picture & on to the next.

When I met Bulloch, I wanted to sit down & have tea with him. And I HATE tea! Even Jake Lloyd was pretty personable. I have yet to meet Daniel Logan, but I saw him in the Stars of the Saga last year & I could tell he would be a pretty energetic guy to talk to. I always try to focus on the original trilogy cast if I get the option to; never know how much longer those legends will be around sadly.

Logan was awesome. He rarely stood behind his table and was always in the middle of it with the fans. We have seen him on several occasions and have pictures of him and our girls over multiple years. It is kind of neat to see how they all changed so much from year to year.

I will be there on Week 3. Decent line-up, although our 2011 trip had Ray Park, Jeremy Bulloch, and Matt Lanter which was a great group. Willow, Howard T Duck, and Crashdown ain't bad, though.

We are going the first weekend I'm a big Clone Wars fan so we hit a good weekend and I have to agree with Master Yoda Ashley Eckstien is very nice last year we almost had to excuse ourselves as she kept talking to us (btw her husband is World Series MVP David Eckstien she wanted to introduce us to him but he had just stepped away) Actually the whole cast of The Clone Wars very fan friendly nice group of people having met several of them. We got in line for passes at 6:30 and got in for her and James Arnold Taylor had to be a little earlier for Dee Bradley Baker since he also voices Perry the Platypus.
