I'm still weighing up the pros and cons of it being in Chicago. Personally I found Orlando last year to be poorly run by Reedpop and the ques were worse for panels. I was looking forward to visiting the new Star Wars galaxy's edge at the Disney Parks but now...

It also seems to be quite an expensive city to stay in (according to my US friends) and even they are finding it hard to justify.

Not sure what Disney are thinking with this location but meh we will see.

Once the hotel tickets go on sale June 5th I'll decide weather or not to pull the trigger.

Not that sure on Chicago either, would've been the last place I thought Celebration would be at. I was sure they would've had it near a Disney theme park :?

I wasn't all that keen when this was announced... but, you know, I can't miss out on the panel for the final episode of the Skywalker saga.

Plus, it's always rad times hanging with my Star Wars family.

I'll see you there.

I can't remember the last time I watched it, but I'll be attending this panel:

That's one way to sell the remaining tickets...

I wish I'd held off on booking, 'cause Air New Zealand has some crazy prices on flights direct to Chicago or LA, which time perfectly.
