All CVII related news here!

We are definitely staying longer to go Disney with girls

 

trying to see if Harry Potter will be open at universal cali by then woohahahaha

 

I just found out that Cory and I will be attending CVII !!!

 

I'm tying to convince Darth ManMeat that we want to drive to CA and make a nice long vacation out of this. If i can win him over, i hope to pop thru Denver and join up with the caravan. Someone said a 2 day drive? What would be your half way stopping point? Vegas maybe? I may also be working on convincing another friend to go and he's just in Henderson NV.

 

What stops in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

 

Well, considering that April is one of our snowiest months, I'm making alternate driving plans to go south to Albuquerque, Needles, Anaheim route. I just don't think I can drive the Durango pulling a trailer full of droids and bins over the mountains in a blizzard (NOT FUN!). It's about 200 miles and 3 hours longer, but I think for that time of year it'll be safer than the I-70 route to Vegas. Of course, if I-70 is clear with no snow falling I'll probably go that route. It's nice to have a backup plan, though.

 

I'll be flying. Saves the ol' annual leave.

 

OK...Here are the official ticket prices (just got off the phone with convention company, her daughter's name was Melody so she was super nice to me..LOL)

General 4-Day Pass: $140
VIP Knight: $400
VIP Master: $900

She did not know if the VIPs were on sale Wednesday. That's what i got...start planning now.

 

WOW, 4 days huh? Wed through Sun?

FYI - Vegas is like 3 hours from LA, so halfway point it's not. NV UT border would be closer to halfway point.

 

Here's hoping we can get our California contingent to join us for this one.

 

flying...need to save those vacation days....

 

Jeff and I are thinking of driving, we will have a ton of costumes and maybe some props for display at the RL or 501st tables if they let us. We will bring Buster with us so we need to stop in Paso Robles to drop him off before we head down to LA. Looks like we will not be in your convoy I want to stay in a hotel AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE, if the entire RMFF can stay at the same one that would b awesome. If not I understand everyone has their own needs to keep in mind.

We need to get Art Monkey, D-Josh & wife as well as Ali. Can't go w/o the Cali's there.

 

AGREED i have scoped out the closest hotels...now it's just a wait and see when they open up!

 

close is a relative term when wearing a heavy costume with lots of pieces...i would not want to try crossing a busy road. BUT that is just me.

 

We will flying, Abby will be at the end of her year in1st grade so we don't want to miss too much .

For those of you driving I think St George Utah is a half way point

The street there is busy but has lots of safe crosswalks since Disney is so close. And luckily there are lots of hotels to choose from

 

What are those?

 

Just poking my head up out of my hole. Definitely planning on going, too.

 

sooo after discussing with Grimby, it appears there is a long wall between the condos to the south and the condos to the west have a HUGE parking lot between the two. man i love googlemaps.


SO at this point i am thinking the hotels will be the closest.

 

I just got an email...hotels go on sale tomorrow.

I am reserving rooms AT the Marriott..here is why. The Hilton did NOT have a mini-fridge and those two were the absolute closest. I am booking one for the Sith's, myself and one other friend. i will book as many as allowed. SO there ya go.

 

Where can you go reserve?
