  1. ok, last 2 pics. The full front of the tree, with Monorail and Contemporary. Spaceship Earth is there too, but hidden behind presents. Zoom in to see the ornaments better if you want. And a close up of the BatB ornament:
  2. Here's the Firefly ship; And here's Inara's Shuttle:
  3. Here are a few of my ornaments. The UP house, Hank and Mary Poppins are new this year. (Mary is in the lower left of the third photo) The Star Destroyer with the Tantiv IV is newly relevant, although it's a very old ornament. My tree looks like a mashup of NASA, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Sernity space wars, interspersed with animated characters. I'll post a full tree picture once we have the topper on. There's a current discussion underway as to whether we will unbox the Death Star topper, or just put up our usual Tink topper. ETA: Death Star
  4. You're going to have to expound on ' the beginnings of rebel's embracing the Force." I didn't see that, but may be because I'm missing something. Remember, just before this movie, in "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith", Palpatine enacted order 66, which was a call to kill all Jedi. Anakin went in and killed all the younglings at the temple on Coruscant. The Jedi order had been around for thousands of years by the time of this movie. I don't think it had been long enough for people to forget the Jedi and the Force.
  5. Absolutely no complaints about the action. I didn't mind everyone dying, just because to me, it emphasized just how hard that mission was, and demonstrates the concept of courage in the face of unbeatable odds. We need more of that these days. The necessary sacrifice. Also, there was no where for these characters to go, in the context of the canon timeline. We know who is in Episode IV 'A New Hope', and it would look strange if the heroes from this mission were missing, if they hadn't died. The red squadron survived mostly, and now we know how Luke got the designation of Red
  6. I really enjoyed the movie. My favorite characters were K-2SO, and the blind, non-jedi force user. They had the best lines! I have to admit, when Jen was scaling the library tower, and reached the top where there was the shaft with the opening / closing aperture... I was immediately taken out of the movie to Galaxy Quest. " WHY does this thing EXIST?".. lol.. I giggled. My husband knew exactly why I was giggling. Also, I didn't believe they would put a data reading station under the sat-dish, in the elements like that. and WHY did the alignment station have to be out on a catw
  7. I think 3D was worth it. I really enjoyed the movie. In my rankings of all Star Wars movies, this is my 4th favorite now. " A New Hope", " Return of the Jedi", " The Force Awakens" and the "Rogue 1" is how I list the first 4. The theater I went to had a contingent of the 501st in the lobby, interacting with the customers. I danced with an Imperial Pilot, talked to BB8 and I got a lot of fist bumps and compliments on my "Emperor Mickey" t-shirt. After the movie, there was a fully mobile, life sized R2-D2 in the lobby. I had a nice conversation with him and showed him my R2-
  8. Hubby and I are going to see it tonight. 3D version for us. My grown son and his friends are going to see the 2D version, same theater but an earlier viewing. We will be comparing notes after.
  9. I need you to go out and watch Disney's Prep and Landing. Seriously, it is the best new Christmas animated story I have seen in YEARS. It ranks right up there with Rudolph and " How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the animated classic). It comes out every year, now, (this year, ABC - Thursday Dec 15th at 8:00 pm EST). It's funny, cute, a great story and has the coolest reindeer in existence.... However, looking at the air date again, you'll need to record it, since that night is the night of the Rogue One premier.
  10. This event happened last night. I wish I could have seen it live, but WOW is it cool! SE transforms into the Death Star
  11. I saw it 2 days ago. I didn't know anything about the character going in, but I really enjoyed the movie. My DH is a big comics fan, and he loves the more 'underdog' kind of characters, so he really enjoyed it as well. Of course, we don't ask anything of our movies except that they keep us entertained. Neither one of us looked at our watches during the movie, so that makes it a hit for us. Also, one of our favorite reviewers ( Chris Stuckman on YouTube) recommended the 3d version, and I think he was correct. This movie actually works well in 3D.
  12. This is true, but of course Disney won't do this for every extending guest, especially if they are not disturbing the peace or doing other illegal things. I know when it happened at our hotels, during busy times, we would try to make life uncomfortable for the guest that was staying, and if possible, the guest that was supposed to get that room would be upgraded to a suite or other upsell room type, no extra charge. It actually happened once to me, as a hotel employee. I ended up in a 2 room suite in Las Vegas for $45 a night. That was a great trip! There are a number of peop
  13. Hi Fiends! This is my first post. I've been lurking here for about a year, and always thought I should join, but since I don't camp, I don't usually have a lot to offer. ( I do visit the Fort every trip, though.. ever since Minnie Moo was there) Now, I have a bit of information concerning Florida rental laws as they pertain to hotels, and I think campsites might fall into the same boat, since they are rented out as occupied spaces on a daily basis. Basically, once a guest has paid for and taken occupancy in a hotel room, that room is theirs under standard rental laws. As lo
