Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Lizzim]

I am just trying to finalise my plans for weekend V and I will probably be releasing a Rebel Lounge reservation for Friday 12th June @17.20 for 2 people. We have the FTF package for this day and I think we will get a late lunch so we can enjoy the dessert party. We have a Rebel Lounge reservation for the last night as well and I think it will spread out our Star Wars fun that way.

I don't need to cancel yet so let me know if anyone wants to try and pick it up when I do

Can someone confirm that the boba fett steins are still everywhere today.

I'll know in about 30 minutes. We missed out last weekend and it's one of the main reasons we're coming today. Hubby is a huge Boba Fett fan and would LOVE a stein.

Just FYI... I'm still looking for the following items to add to my massive SWW 2015 collection. If anyone has these for free or for sale, please PM me. I do have three extra Weekend #2 Feel the Force photo packets for TRADE for any of these!

I am local and can meet up with you if you are still in the area. Otherwise I will pay for shipping.

- Used Feel the Force Premium Lanyard with credential (not Deluxe, I have that)
- Jedi Mickey's Hollywood & Vine Signature Card
- Weekend #1 Feel the Force photo packet
- Weekend #3 Feel the Force photo packet

Thanks!

Ethan

I have the Weekend 3 photo packet with me here now and the Weekend 1 at home I can mail you if you still need them.

Good morning everyone! Waiting patiently to get there for weekends IV and V.

A question for anyone who has done D-Tech with kids? Are they limiting the options for kids or can they choose the jedi?

I think you got the basics covered. You will be fine arriving at 5am for mayhew.

I agree. We only stay out because I cant get up early. I just cant sleep at all if I have to get up super early. So much easier for me to be there and grab what sleep I can overnight. Plus we cant take the chance of later times until after school gets out as we live here and have to get the kids off the bus. LOL

Any word on parade delay?

 

[jane2073]

We got here at 8:45 and my daughter was able to sign up for the 4:15 PMC.

You can definitely sign in to FtF before 10. You just can't get to the parade spot until after 10.

We had parade spots but bailed due to rain. We are now sitting in RH waiting to see if they are going to still run the parade.

Trapped at studio catering co. Waiting for the rain to die down a bit to get to commissary

I noticed that.

I had my card out and they didn't even look.

 

[jennab113]

They just made the announcement that it will start in 15 minutes, so maybe no delay

We are at RH too! To take pics of our 501st friends. Ashley and David just walked by a few minutes ago. So looks like parade is on schedule.

If that wasn't the definition of a Florida rain shower I don't know what is.: )
At commissary right now staying here until about 12:15

May be a slight delay. Just said hi to Daniel Logan and Steve Blum. So they aren't at their cars yet. Steve said he liked ds' hat.

I would love, love, love this if it is still available!

Random question, but does everywhere take magic bands, like balloons, face painting drink stands, etc or will we need cash. I can't think of anywhere o couldn't use my MagicBand in Feb, but I also didn't have kids with me so I'm trying to make sure I have enough cash. Thanks!

 

[HCinKC]

MagicBands arrived!!!! Question for those of you with small children... they say 'peel here to make smaller' on the inside... are you actually supposed to detach the whole outer gray section??

Also, if the little nubs it leaves behind bother your kids, you can use a nail file to make it smooth.

Most places do, but not all. And sometimes their machines aren't working and they can't scan. Best to bring some cash for just in case.

I'm glad it was just a passing shower for you guys.
