Awesome pics, Lufta! I just gotta make it down there one year and see this amazing attraction.
If we get back to the 3 years in between Celebrations, I will definitely be able to go.

Can't wait for a few more years, when my littlest one is 3, then we plan to go and visit.
Glad you had fun!!!

I am a member of the Rebel Legion. Disney asked the Florida 501st Garrison to march in the parade and they, in turn, invited Rebel Legion members. You had to sign up in advance and be on an offical list. I started working on making this all a reality back in January. Yes, it was a lot of effort and expense, but it was so worth it - a dream come true!

You look great in the picture, Lufta!
I am also in the Rebel Legion and had planned on going, but I had too many things going on and had to cancel the plans. If there is not a Celebration in 2009, that would make next year more likely for a try at SWW for me. But I'll be at DragonCon this year, and they do have a short parade.

My wife and I will be at the Times Square festivities in NYC.
Midnight Madness is back -- can't wait!!

Ok, and now for something completely different...
How many of you own (or want to own) an iRobot Roomba vacuum. I have a new one and love it!
It is black and grey and I have named it "Vader the Vacuum".
(Yes, this is a lame post - I guess I'm embarrassed at having only two stars after posting/lurking here for eight years!  )

I was thinking about getting one of those as well. The only negative I've heard is that they fill up pretty quickly, especially if you have pets. So while it roams around on it's own, it doesn't do much good after 20 minutes or so unless you clean it out... and I heard the batteries don't last terribly long. I'd be really interested to know how it works out for you.

It is true you have to clean the Roomba vaccum's brushes out frequently - and I do with three cats - but it still is a huge time saver! (Actually, you save no time at all when you first get a Roomba since you just stare and marvel at the thing!  )
The secret to the pet hair hassle is to start with a clean floor and use Roomba for daily upkeep. When I have not used the Roomba for awhile a regular vaccum cleaning is in order. Yes, you cannot really get rid of your other traditional vacuum, but you will definately use it less - especially if you have lots-o-pets like me. 
Get the lastest model. I got mine at Costco, but other places carry them. Beware that I saw a few locally in other stores that were not the latest models. Steer clear of those.  They are constantly improving them.
The only bug I find in mine is in my hallway where I have a area carpet on wood. The vacuum does not like the dark blocks in the area rug (It thinks it is a cliff and will not vaccum them.) Other dark area rugs around the house are fine. The rest of my hosue is wall-to-wall or tile and the Roomba handles them all. OK, here is the Star Wars tie-in: It even has an Artoo-like "uh-oh" beep sound when it gets stuck - which is a rare.

LMBO...
Lufta, that sounds hilarious, the cliff and sounds.
I may have to go get one now. But, I may paint mine...lol, so it appears to be an R2D2 dome, floating over the carpet...lol.
I had to laugh at your description...lol.
Still getting over it!!!
Thanks for the report!
