Two weeks ago it was announced that Star Wars Celebration is coming to Anaheim, California in April of 2015. Although at first my husband and I thought "there is no way we will be able to go this time," mostly because our son will be in preschool at that time, we have since discussed the timing of the convention and decided that, as long as all goes well and we are able to save enough money, we will be able to make the trip out to California!! This time, we plan on taking our son, as he will be 5 years old at that time, and will be taking a few extra days to visit Disneyland and maybe some other attractions. When tickets and hotel rooms went on sale this past Wednesday, I was able to secure us a room for 10 nights (although the length of time we can stay may change)...but at least we have a room :)
Now the planning begins...not only for the trip itself and what we plan to see and do besides the Convention, but also for what costumes we will be taking (rather, the costumes I will be making). Currently, I am planning on finishing some of the costumes I have started for myself and add one or two that are on my current "plan to make" list; my husband would really like for us to start his Wookiee Warrior costume soon so that we can have it finished before then, and we do have his Bail Organa costume that still needs a few finishing touches; and finally, I am still in the planning stages for a couple of costumes for my son (he WILL have been introduced to the saga by then). At this time I am considering the following costumes for my son: a X-Wing pilot, an Episode I Anakin (maybe the pod-racing costume), a farm boy Luke, and possibly something else like Boba/Jango Fett or Ewok/Jawa or whatever else, all depending on whether he is ok with helmets or what-not. I will definitely know more in terms of costume plans in the months to come, but I just wanted to throw some ideas and updates out there.
I will keep you all updated in the coming months on any progress and plans!! Until then...May the Force Be With You All!!
