I just found this thread and cannot be more excited! Our first SWW trip is next May for the first two weekends (hopefully if the dates stay the same) and I have no idea where to even begin with plans. I have a lot of reading to do!!
Wlecome aboard. For now leave your plans as flexible as possible. In the past once we get information and things start opening up for booking that happens very fast (as you can see on the first page all the packages opened up for booking the same day) just start saving money if you are planning to do any meals or packages. And keep an eye out on this thread and the DPB.
I take a break from working on beskar'gam and find this happiness. I fear SWW Could be forever changed yet perhaps for the better. My biggest concern is celebrity autographs will be a thing of the past. I for one enjoy sleeping on wet concrete in 90 degree weather while they blast frozen music all night until the ewok village wake up at 5am.
I'm actually kinda fearing that they will not do celeb autographs anymore, but we are going to have to wait and see on this one.
New to Disboards and new to SWW etc so looking for some help and advice. I haven't been to a SWW before, but this past year I had my first taste of it. I happened to be there on May the 4th which was the conclusion of my trip. The timing was coincidental that I happened to be there, but had a lot of fun having breakfast with Darth Vader and having dinner at Hollywood & Vine for the Star Wars Character meal. I've always enjoyed the movies and was really excited as everyone else here is to hear all the news. I would love to go to Seasons of the Force and am anxiously awaiting news about when it possibly will be so I can know if I'd be able to make it. For 2016 I won't be able to get time off at the end of May or at all in June so am hoping I can get there and also have to work around others at work as far as time off goes. Is there any news yet as to when it may be? I did read early 2016 somewhere? Is there any news when they may be announcing more info? I am so excited and have so many questions about the timing, and being able to get accommodation and dining reservations. Sorry but I am new to this, I've only ever just planned a trip for whenever and has never been for any particular event.
Wlecome aboard. What you experienced on May 4th was only a taste of SWW not the real event. So if you loved that I would start trying to plan a trip for mid May early June. Season of the Force is supposed to start early 2016 but no details are out yet, as soon as we have them I will update the first page with information. Keep your eyes opened to this thread and DPB.
I also have never been to SWW and was about to book a trip the first week of June but on the Disney site I read "early 2016" and was afraid they may be toying with the dates. I know with Disney nothing is ever official until its actually announced, but are you guys confident that it will stick to being in May/June? I also saw that its a separate ticked event for $98 (like the Xmas and Halloween party)in 2016. Was it always this way or was it included in regular admission? I'm very excited and anxious to start planning & have a lot of reading up to do! Thanks in advance!
Here's the information that is up right now for Star Wars Weekends
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/star-wars-weekend/
It is NOT a separate ticketed event, not sure which page you are looking at. By the sound of it it looks like they will stick to the May/June
Does it sound like the Launch Bay will open before Season of the Force opens?
yes, Launch Bay should open by the end of this year.
New to dis boards so happy that I have found this. I have booked our first family vacation to wdw May 21 to 27 2016 hoping that will still be a SWW. This will be a surprise trip for my kiddos who will be 12 and 6 at that time. Looking for any advice. Looks like I have a lot of planning to do.
Welcome aboard. The best way to start planning is to read the first page and ask specific questions so you can get detailed answers on each experience you want to do during SWW. The tips are also very helpful so read those.
This will be my first SWW and am happy to find this great thread! Is this going to be a ticketed event like the
MNSSHP or
MVMCP events? I went to the Last Tour to Endor in 2010 and had a great time then. Definitely want to meet the characters and what my family is most looking forward to.
No it's not a ticketed event. I LOVED Last Tour to Endor, the only time I'll get that close to George Lucas (I was sitting 2 rows behind him during Raiders of the last jedi temple of doom.
Please don't! We are all ahead of the curve and this board will tell you everything you need and when to do it. Keep checking the first page once this board gets busier, as
@yulilin3 will keep that updated.
We are a big family. And I'm glad that I've been able to make some good friends every year managing this thread. All the SWW veterans help the newbies and I cannot tell you how much I enjoy planning for this event.
Man I am late!
