Seaworld was fun. We took our college program neice and one of her friends in CP with us. They did the coasters and we checked out the shows and Sesame Place for the grandsons next year. It was good but the parade at Sesame was really loud. It was hot too because we got there about 1:00. We had a little detour to the cast member warehouse where dw filled the shopping cart and yesterday I picked up another suitcase to bring everything home. I am laughing because I can relate.....At least half of the kids luggage and the grand kids luggage is from that "extra" piece of luggage needed for the "good" sale we hit while at the Parks.
Cheaper getting another piece of luggage than paying for shipping.

We just returned from Batuu west last night, and were there for Star Wars Nite as well as May the 4th.
Fabulous time, and it reminded us of the former Star Wars events at Hollywood Studios. We went years ago for Star Wars weekend, and got to see Anthony Daniels and Warwick Davis.
The Star Wars Nite was just okay. We were there for the characters and photo ops.
It was great seeing all the fans dressed up. There were some really clever costumes. We were dressed up as a group, but nowhere near as creative as some people. My fave, and I wish I had asked for a photo, was a couple people in a Star Wars/Rescue Rangers mash up.
Because they had also just started PixarFest, some of the photo spots had been moved to different areas, which meant all night long guests were walking around trying to find the character locations. Including us. And we would ask CM's, who had no idea where the new locations were. It was a bit frustrating and disappointing. The lightsaber meet ups were so crowded, and if you weren't there 30-45 minutes before the time, you were shut out. Couldn't even get close.
The only characters we got photos with at the event were Queen Amidala and Anakin, and a Gamorrean Guard while waiting for the Jabba and Han in Carbonite photo op.
It was a sold out night for the event, and in future I would try for a different date.
May the 4th was fantastic. A lot of guests were dressed up for it. People in Batuu were in high spirits, even with the crowds, and they had an unofficial meet up in front of Kylo Ren's ship for group lightsaber photos.
Groups were also meeting up in front of the Millennium Falcon for photos, and fireworks viewed from that area were set to Star Wars music. It was wonderful to view from there. Ride times for Galaxy's Edge and Star Tours were long, as expected, but the rest of the park didn't seem bad.
