Disney, Lucasfilm and ABC TV has invited 5 Minutes for Mom contributing blogger Dawn Cullo to Los Angeles, CA to attend the Star Wars: The Force Awakens and ABC TV media trip. Dawn’s expenses have been paid for the trip but no other compensation were paid and all opinions are Dawn’s.

I attended the secret Star Wars Press Event in Los Angeles and it was a great venue to see the merchandise, costumes, games and cast all in one place!

This event was SO secret that even if you could have guessed where it was you were not going to be able to get in because it was hidden even with in the venue. There was a guest list and security was around ever corner. The hospitality suite was a great place to meet other journalist, work, get a bite to eat and check out all the awesome Star Wars merchandise.. I even saw Mario Lopez walking around the area.

Ample Hills Creamery is making a special Light Side and Dark Side Frozen Custard. I tried them both and they are great BUT I preferred the Dark Side.
