That's so awesome, Coach.
How old are you again?Coach wrote:Just got back from Galaxy's Edge in Orlando. Freaking amazing.
I rode the Smuggler's Ride, twice. They built the Falcon and you get plenty of time to take pics / video of you inside of it. Every detail is awesome, including that you can sit at the chess table that chewy plays at. My photos look like I was on the real ship w/ chewy.
Took some selfies w/ Kylo Ren, Bobba Fett, Storm Troopers, who walked around the park talking to the crowds.
Bought an awesome Protect the Galaxy Join the First Order hoodie "unit 709" that is only available at the park. The Diet Coke cans look like thermal detonators, so I took one home for fun - to my surprise, it passed TSA Security.
Met R2D2 - when I squatted down and patted his head, it moved to look at me and my wife got a great shot of that.
And, finally, as promised, I screamed "Dime" in the Falcon cockpit before takeoff, so your presence is there my friend.![]()
More to come....left the day the rise of the resistance opened, but still an incredible experience - almost bought a $200 light saber but held back.
Well it was a family trip with lots of little ones, so I spun off that energy. Purely coincidental that I got to see the star wars park so early and close to the new movie.Bammer wrote:How old are you again?Coach wrote:Just got back from Galaxy's Edge in Orlando. Freaking amazing.

Yep, just fortunate that my in laws planned a Disney trip a long time ago - they weren't even thinking of star wars but timing worked out great.durdencommatyler wrote:That's so awesome, Coach.

I admire your restraint in not grabbing that saber. Not sure I'd have the strength, myself.Coach wrote:Yep, just fortunate that my in laws planned a Disney trip a long time ago - they weren't even thinking of star wars but timing worked out great.durdencommatyler wrote:That's so awesome, Coach.

Hey man, it's no worries. I've been having a pretty shitty month, so I am just trying to do as much good as I can for others as that makes me feel better. Hang in there, my friend.dimejinky99 wrote:Coach. I’m having the worst week.
You just made it so much better:) that you took that minute to think and give me a callout
On my beloved falcon. Hope you know how happy that makes me.
Thank you XX
