After watching the live stream and seeing all the great photo's taken this weekend at Celebration Chicago, I've decided I will be going back to Anaheim for Celebration in 2020!

Anaheim's a far superior location for kiwis, isn't it?! We had a great contingent there in 2015.

It's crazy, but Chicago was way more affordable, as the hotels are a lot cheaper. But Anaheim does have the option of Airbnb.

Of course, the real pull will be Galaxy's Edge, just minutes from the show floor.

I'll definitely be going.

Was Chicago good?

It was almost perfect... the Force was definitely with us.

Anaheim looks like a perfect place to go to my first celebration.....but seeing as zero of my friends have interest in it I'll have to drag my kids along lol not sure a 9yo and a 7yo will be into the same things I am but that's the breaks haha

There should be plenty of kiwis in 2020. We got together for events and meals plenty of times in 2015, and will likely endeavour to do the same next time (all kiwis in both of these photos from 2015).
