Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

my friend is at DHS right now

Hey I'm friends with her too!

Was looking for some advice for a WDW vet but a SWW newbie. We are going to be at WDW for the 2nd weekend of SWW. My DH is a huge Star Wars fan and wants to get the most out of SWW he can.

The problem is we intend on doing the 24hr party at MK on Friday. We probably won't be getting to DHS until evening on Saturday because of sleeping off the 24hr party. We are planning on seeing atleast the fireworks on Saturday night and are planning to do a full day on Sunday.

What would be a good strategy for us for Sunday to fit in as much as we can since that is our only full day of SWW? Thanks so much for any advice !

What are you most interested ? Shows, characters, parade,celebrities? The first post of this thread has all the events with times so you can prioritize and plan

Hey I'm friends with her too!

Whaaat? That's why I asked if I could steal her picture

 

[yulilin3]

Do we have an official listing of where the meet ups are on the first page



Where can I find the SWW one?

The info on the meets is on the roll call thread

For the dessert party you really don't need to line up early, if you don't find a table you can share with someone else, the area is big and there's room to walk around. They do open it around 8:40pm so that would work

Are strollers allowed in the area?

Anyone know if Tables in Wonderland will be accepted at the Rebels Lounge?

The consensus is that if it's a small baby or kids are asleep they allow them in. Otherwise they ask be parked just outside the area

Lime Green Mickey Heads are the unofficial symbol of the DISBoards. People use to wear them in the parks to identify each other. You used to be able to get LGMH paint chips in Home Depot. Since they discontinued those, the LGMHs aren't as common. But people still do them for special events or monthly trip threads.

I usually print mine on white cardstock or photo paper and then glue them back to back. I laminate mine and then attach them to a key ring to hang on my bag or camera strap. (Yes, I have several rings in my Disney box just for that purpose. Doesn't everyone?) There's room at the bottom of most of them to put your DIS name.

For this group - we started calling the first weekend the Guinea Pig DISer Garrison. Then we made cute names for the other four weekends. So we're going to get I'm Celebrating buttons from Disney and put our Garrison name on them. An easy way to identify each other. I plan to do both.

indeed, we must respect the lime Here's a blast from the past.

Thanks, I have already looked at the 1st post. DH is the one who cares the most lol. We normally tour at a more relaxed pace and go with the flow but I know to fit in as much as we can we have to atleast have some sort of plan.

He hasn't told me exactly what he hopes to see except "I want to get as much SWW as I can" lol....
I know he wants to see the parade, meet a few characters (he doesn't plan on standing in uber long lines for them so if he deems them "too long" he will probably forget it), he wants to see the celebrity questions and such (not sure if he wants to meet them or just see the show), he wants to shop in Darth's Mall and see fireworks. So the only thing I know we will do on Saturday is fireworks so everything else will have to be Sunday.

Thank you. She may be asleep by then as we will be there from open to close but who knows. I could put a towel or small blanket on the ground for her.

That would be nice. I bet it isn't cause it's considered quick service and aren't most quick service not included.

ok, as with everything Disney, rope drop is your friend. If you're there before the park opens you can get a lot done.
In the morning you could meet some characters, as you've seen the popular ones are Chewie and Vader followed by the Disney as SW guys. Fot the parade grab a spot at least an hour and a half before to guarantee a shady side. If you haven't already book your fp for the SWW shows, SotS is the most popular unless you're coming the last weekend then it would be Conversation with Frank Oz. Darth;s Mall is good to visit in the early morning or in the afternoon.
As for characters without lines you could meet the roaming ones walking around the old Backlot Tour

11 more sleeps for me too

although I don't sleep much the night before heading down...like most (big) kids

they would rather her be in a stroller. It's a safety issue, it will be dark, and with the music and lights from the dance party they wouldn't want her on the floor.
