Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Does anyone know about anything special going on tonight after the fireworks show? I received a tip from a CM about a "very special couple" that will be present after the fireworks tonight. Possibly Mark and Carrie? or others?

after the shows, no. Could they elaborate?
I know that Han and Greedo come out during the Summoning of the Force pre show, also the new Stormtroopers from the Force Awakens

Let me just say that if it's Mark and Carrie I will be SO JEALOUS!!! And of course come on here looking for pics.

I'll be headed that way around 1:00 today can anyone onsite tell me if they still have The Force Awakens shirts and the Rancors please?

Can someone remind me the locations and prices of the build-a-lightsaber stations please? I'm thinking the locations are Tatooine Traders and Watto's Grotto in DHS, Once Upon a Toy in DTD, and a store (Star Traders?) in MK.... Any differences in the locations (saber parts and options) anyone know of? How much for a single and how much for a double? I'm pretty sure I read in here somewhere that on the double both ends light up now. Thanks!

We built ours at Tatooine Traders. IIRC, after tax it was $42 and change for the double. The Mall was crowded, but it looked like the same options as TT. Both ends do light up with the sound effects. I know at TT, they had examples of each character (Vader, Luke, Kanan, etc) if you want to build an exact one. I'm not sure if DM had that.

We were there on Tuesday, and they were not trading. ODS took a beaded necklace up to one, and it loved looking at it, but it shook it's head at trading. The friend CM said they hadn't brought any trading supplies that night. We did trade with one during the weekend near the Darth's Mall line. ODS did two trades with one Jawa. And don't forget, they love when you say "Utini!" (ooo-tee-nee).

We were at RH last Sat / May 16th and they traded with my GD's. Lots of fun ! Luckily I had already told them what they get from a Jawa might not be something great. One of the girls was given a crayon, the other was given a water bottle cap. They laughed and thought it was sooo funny. Olivia (7) said she's saving that bottle cap forever. Adeline (5) gave a Cantina Band member a ring, he was so nice, tried to put it on his finger, wouldn't fit, but kept it. She was happy. It was great fun !

Ok so I'm pretty bummed DV and BF are not signing autographs at the Galactic Breakfast. Those are DS favorite characters! We're paying all that money and we don't even get their autograph?? Not sure I want to stand in lines for hours for them outside either just for their signatures... will have to convince DS the autograph is not important... :S Also, no character signing at Jedi Mickey? What are they thinking?

Ok, moving on, has anybody posted a review of the Premium package yet? I haven't been able to find it you guys move too fast!

We received autograph "cards" from DV & BF. We forgot about it in the excitement of being there and while we were eating our waitress brought them to us.

Ok @yulilin3, here is the blue pilot!

If anyone would be so kind as to see if you can pick me up a Boba Fett stein I would truly appreciate it. We were there last weekend and could not get my hands on one at all! I will pay via Paypal and will pay shipping and a little extra for the effort to get it. Just PM me if you can get one for me. Thank You!

Ok @yulilin3, here is the blue pilot!

thanks for the picture. He is also a flag carrier during the parade. They have used this costume every year, with different people of course. Did he give his story, name, where he was from? that would be really cool

I will help if you need me to. Just let me know. I won't need extra just let me have the refreshing liquid. Lol

I got my Stein, my poster, and my lightsaber skirt. I am a happy camper!

He was answering all of ODS's questions...so sort of lol. ODS didn't ask his name, but the guy told him he was an xwing pilot (and from where, but I don't recall). ODS said he was a pilot, too, but he flew a ywing. The guy proceeded to tell ODS that he used to fly a ywing, he graduated to xwing, his uncle is a ywing mechanic, and so on. He sat with us for probably 5 minutes talking. It was fun.

Did someone walk over to your table and tell one of the girls she had something in her hair and then magically produce the toy ring from beside her head to give back?

I saw that the Jawa had given your kids a bottle cap (a BOTTLE CAP of all things) and I wanted to make a kid sized restitution to make amends. The Jawas traded the ring with me right after trading with your girls. I gave those little buggers the keys to a rental Lexus and all I got was a toy princess ring!

When we came back to the rebel hanger on Sunday I was out of trading material so I was contemplating trying to trade some of the "silverware" or perhaps a corndog (...and YES, I KNOW they don't take food or pointy things )

love this!! It's fun cause they have to have a backstory for people that ask. I'm happy you guys had such great interaction

Where is the stein being sold at and what's the price on it?

Thank you very much, this information is very helpful!
