Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Cluelyss]

Disney Food Blog says reservations opened on December 3, 2014. I saw the heading many times when I was searching for the Feel the Force packages to open (before I found this awesome thread!).

Definitely in November sometime, as booking these meals got us talking about another trip, and we were already into our 180 days by then (though not by much, so end of November, as our trip begins May 29).

Just bought 4 boxes of Star Wars Nabisco Graham crackers from Walmart! My husband was laughing at me because I saw them and dove...my kids all love them, plus they're SW, so I figured they'd be perfect to bring for snacks for them for when we're waiting in lines I got SO excited!

I haven't seen these - are they star wars shaped somehow or 'just' a Star Wars box?

SW shaped! A storm trooper, c3po, r2d2, Vader, leia, chewy, & Yoda. They're really cute! 1st time I've seen them was today

I bought these at Publix yesterday. And at Target, they had these ginormous boxes of Cheerios with Star Wars posters (different one in every box) -- they're small -- about 9x12, but cute. The super-sized Trix boxes had them too. I just happened to notice them near the check-out lines. Aaaannnd.... my kids ate SW-shaped Kraft Mac 'n Cheese for lunch today. We're on Star Wars overload here.

Happy weekend! As a reminder, summer in Florida is wicked hot, so:

Let's see purchases of the day included SW cheerios and honey nut cheerios. Also a set of jello jigglers molds so I can make more jello shots erm I mean jello protein snacks. I also thought longingly of going to Kohls because there ad had some awesome star wars shirts but I was good.

OK. So I come home and find my wife shopping for Disney shirts on Disney Store online....and I can't remember how far back on this too-fast-moving blog that people were talking about May the 4th specials online. Can someone help me out?

In case anyone wants one for tomorrow there are Jedi Mickey Dinners available at 545 for 2.

Is that only for purchases made tomorrow? or is that for the entire weekend?

My son is killing me today! He's now trying to use Jedi mind tricks to convince us to go back to Disney for Star Wars weekends! He is gonna flip when we tell him we are going. Just waiting on magic bands to get here. He also reminded me he needs a Star Wars shirt so I guess I'll be looking for bargains tomorrow

All weekend on the sale.

Boys had fun at the Lego Star Wars build at Toys R Us today. No shopping for us though as they are saving for Disney. I am resisting the urge to visit the Disney Store though!

 

[slaveone]

Awesome I restrained myself from going to Toys' R'Us today. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[OZMom]

We hit Toys-R-us, Disney store (did not see the pin? but we did get 30% off and star wars trading cards) and the Lego store. The manager at our Lego store had no idea what I was talking about with the Star Wars event so I was a little disappointed, but we did score some awesome stuff, so it was a successful day

But not on SW weekends, right?

Yes during sww

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Yes during sww

Seriously?! That would be so great! My holy grail character is Mushu and my BF's is Robin Hood, so this will give us three chances to see one or both instead of just 1 on Monday!
