The Figgy family road trip! Or how to go without sleep

Spoiler alert, free stuff and soft openings are fun. Ok, here we go! Things started off differently than planned to say the least. A small tropical system was heading up 95N so we went west and took 81S into South Carolina before we saw any sun. This added somewhere between 2 and 3 hours to our trip but it was worth it as we kept hearing 95 wasn't the road to be on that day! From 81 we headed across 77 and found something that made me think about our dear @real mad hatter:eek: I think I might just have found his second favorite place in the states! Frugal Mc Dougal's discount beverage center, the place had a sign with a goofy looking guy with a kilt on it:eek: The rest of the trip to Georgia was quiet and we spent the night at the Super 8 in Brunswick. It was clean quiet and cheap. We got a good 8 hours sleep and we would need it as the rest of the trip we never seemed to get much:D

First a GIANT thank you to @Master Yoda and all those who posted on SWW dates announced!!!!!!!!! Sunday June 9th our first park day which actually started at 11pm on the 8th:eek: I got everybody up and in the car and headed over to HS for SWW. Thank God I'm an over planner. I had the days outfits and sleeping bags in the car! So we got to HS and got on line for autographs! So down went the sleeping bags and we got as comfy as we could. We didn't get much of a nap because the CMs were using leaf blowers all night to move the water from the rain on Saturday! We did get to meet some lovely people while we were on line. Getting there by midnight was brilliant (thnxs again @Master Yoda) By the time we got there the line for Billy d Williams was already past the security check area, almost to the topiaries. So sometime after 4 am we were told to get on the line we wanted to be on as wrist bands were coming out soon. James and Jim waited for Mr Williams, I went over to Mr. Mayhew's line and Michael went over to Ashley Eckstein's line. After we got our wrist bands we headed over to the rest rooms to get dressed for the day and Jim took our gear to the car. So more waiting until about 6 or so when the fast passes were handed out. It was funny security going down the lines checking bags, not sure they got to the entire line. So sometime about 7:30 we got through the turnstiles and were welcomed to SWW by a couple of funny storm troopers:eek: As soon as we got past them it was over to the Jedi Training sign up for James. Considering how early we got in it surprised us that he got a 12:30 time.
