[JawaLivin]

Can't wait for this Friday! I unfortunately will be one of the crazy ones lining up early for the merchandise, but we will be there the whole weekend to enjoy all the SWW events!

Can one still get cool SWW merchandise if they do not arrive until Sunday?

I've gone on the last day and found some cool things. They were out of some items, but there was some really good stuff left. Hit the outlet store a week and a half later and found some stuff!

We arrive the weekend after SWW will they have any merchandise leftovers at the star tours gift shop??

I can answer with a resounding maybe. Some of the LE stuff will sell out quickly and might be gone after the first weekend or even first day. You will however typically be able to get most LE items as well as non-LE not items matter when you get there.

My bosses don't care. Even if they did, I'm leaving in a week! What are they gonna do? Fire me?
More worried about hours than anything else.

Crowd opinion: How bad will this first Sunday be? Maybe Friday 5/24 better option with the 24 hr MK event?

Six of one, half dozen of the other between Friday and Sunday. Saturday tends to be the worst, but they are all pretty crowded.

It is, but you need to do a little planning and be prepared for some serious waiting. My Star Wars brethren are professional line waiters. You will need to line up at least 1/2 an hour before most shows. (even more for day at the Maul) You are going to miss a lot if you try to do the park as your normally would and then just pop into a show 5 minutes before showtime.

You will not be alone. It looks like I am only doing 1 weekend this year so there is no second chance.

At least you're getting there for the beginning!! I'm not going to be there until the very last day At least I'm going this trip!

We actually will not be there until the second Sunday. I am half way hoping that they will be out of some of the more pricey LE items. My wife and I tend to act a little like a governor on each others discretionary spending, but neither of us have any control when it comes to Star Wars stuff. We would almost be better off going without each other as she will push me over the edge when I am hesitant on a purchase and vice versa.

The only good thing about going the last day is I might not spend too much! If you believe that I've got a bridge in Brooklyn
