REPORT: Caught an earlier shuttle to save on parking fees and after a walk around and finding the local commissary rather lacking in Star Wars merchandise I decided to hit the lines early and started at 12 not the intended 5pm. 

 

A steady stream of passers-by's due to the food court right next to Zing, quietened down after two so it was time for a break. Most rewarding moment was when a young girl had seen me from the other end of the food court, I noticed her because of her load squeal as she came running up to hug me (well my legs anyway), she was so excited she ran back to dad and dragged him back. Dad popped $25 in the tin as his daughter had encountered Starlight due to a previous illness, so we had a photo and we said goodbye and she waved all the way until she was out of sight, so cute.

 

Another break and then ready for the stream of after school younglings kept me busy until 4. Reinforcements arriving at 4.30 so time to debrief and take another well deserved rest.

 

With more troopers on the floor of course the patron attendance slowed but was steady and we took it in turns playing mannequin which is always a great delight, well for us not the patrons. 

 

Our event organiser advising it was quite and we could finish early saw troopers dropping off from 6pm and we called it a day @ 7pm.

A big thank you goes out to Sivli for keeping an eye on the access door to our trooper sanctuary and for the donated trooper refreshments.
