Hey @CogsworthTN, I hope you’re having a great time! Thanks for the DAH report!
Thanks. We are having a great time.
Hey @CogsworthTN, I hope you’re having a great time! Thanks for the DAH report!
Have Jedi Mickey, Leia Minnie, Darth Goofy, and Stormtrooper Donald been used at all for meet and greets at DHS since Star Wars Weekends ended in 2015? I was hoping there might be a chance of them appearing for the DAH event on May the 4th.
I went to SW Weekends on a Friday in 2010 and 2013, and I was able to meet all of them except for Donald on both days. I really want a picture with Stormtrooper Donald.
LucasFilm has put a stop to that. They don't want Disney characters dressed up in Star Wars garb anymore.
Are the regular vendors still open during this event? Or said another more direct way, are there places open to buy beer?
Can someone help me understand the cut-over process for this event. We are planning to be in this part on June 21st for sure, and are considering adding on DAH. Park Closes at 9:00, SW:GS fireworks at 9:30.
Will TSL and other areas be open with full ride capability until 9:00 PM for non-ticketed guests? If you are in line for SDD at 9:00 can you stay in line and ride?
I assume fireworks are also available to non DAH guests on a regular ticket, and essentially they won't let people without wristbands in ride lines or M&G lines after 9:00 PM?
We went to HS for DAH on March 30th. Had been to MK DAH on the 28th so was pretty excited. It started out badly because somehow my 7 day PH ticket got activated and it was a rigamarole to get that sort of fixed (another thread topic for sure!). Then we waited at the front of the DAH line until 6:40. At that point we were let in and we rushed to our RnRC FPP. Made it with seconds to spare! ToT was limping along at 120 minute wait and one elevator so I was glad we had a FPP for that as well. My sister really wanted to do the Muppet 3D so we trekked across the park for it. Too bad it closed at 6pm. Park was still packed at this point (7:30 or so). My sisters wanted to see F! so they used FPP 3 for that and got great seats. I waited to meet up with a Liner friend so we sat way at that back for F! It was so packed! After F! My sisters didn't follow the plan so I waited until 9:30 looking for them. Then we did RnRC again with very little wait. We headed over to TSL after that and walked onto TSMM. Took tons of pics. Walked right onto *** and was surprised at how much we got body checked by our ride partner! Took more pics. SDD was 40 minute wait every time I looked but we decided to take the plunge and got in line. It was 30+ actual minutes wait. Really liked the ride but no one was willing to wait in that line again so we left TSL. Next stop was ST. No wait at all besides walking through the queue. After this, we watched the projection show on the Theatre and then walked to the store to buy souvenirs. (it was 11:45 by the time we walked to the store).
Snack lines were longer and slower than we expected. The lines for SDD were longer than we expected. Everything else was pretty speedy but there really wasn't much to do there. Not sure it was money well spent but it's too late now. I don't think I'd do it again but I'm not going to boycott Disney or anything crazy like that.
This happens way too often! (Maybe not the 120 minute wait, but the "one elevator" thing.) More than SDD, we are looking forward to riding ToT about 75 times AT NIGHT(!) so I will be very glad we went to DAH if there is another 120 minute wait during regular hours.
Good to know!I think that was while the park was still open. And ToT is going through a refurb right now, where they are only operating one elevator at a time while they work on the other.
EDIT: Okay, now I re-read your post and see you realized that was during regular hours. I'll leave my post alone though because of the refurb info.
Thanks for the helpful info in this forum! Anyone know if you can make advance Fast Pass selections for 7pm and later if you link a DAH ticket with no HS or other parks that day?
