[QUOTE="Gematria, post: 411027, member: 7476"] Well, that was the first Celebration I'd attended (and my second post here...), and I thought the whole thing was outstanding. I know some people had one or two problems at times, but our time there couldn't have gone much smoother. Hard to pick 5 things, but I'll have a go... all I know is that the Monday after was a real downer! Anyway, in no particular order: - The whole mood and feel was fantastic - the word "Celebration" couldn't be more appropriate, as there was such friendliness & camaraderie among pretty much everyone we encountered. So many people were nice to our son (5), too, which really kept him going through what was a quite tiring time. - Loved the characters outside Excel, whom we got many photos with. A great start to the day to get you really into the spirit of it before you've even set foot in the building. - My wife getting Carrie's autograph. I took my son off elsewhere, as he wouldn't have handled the wait too well, and among the many other things that we did in that time a fine Darth Maul was happy to pose with my son, let him try out the lightsaber, etc. - Meeting Garrick Hagon & Robert Watts. Was great to meet them, and their sigs provided the finishing touches to my gold box DVD set. - The Rogue One props. I thought this was a good exhibit, with enough in it to intrigue but not so much as to spoil. Thankfully the queue for it didn't take long. But it all went really well. We even got off quite lightly with the wait times for food, drinks etc. Only real minus was the 1hr wait for the Celebration Store (and I only picked up 3 things once finally in there...), but my wife took our son off to the family area during that time, so that was OK. Only got 1 wristband (for the EA games panel, which they plenty left for) but that was an enjoyable, punchy event that made good use of our time as it took place after the show hours had ended for the day. All in, a great experience, and one I'm keen to have again at some point... [/QUOTE]
