Official Star Wars Weekends 2013 Tips and Tricks

The map is in Adobe Acrobat file form, I don't know how to post that in here, anyone of you know?

Crazy dad here. According to technical son a quick and dirty way is to take a print screen of the documentation and paste in word then use that file. Don't know how that would look.

And off topic on this query, but related to SW merchandise, the Disney outlet store at the Premium Outlet on International has $15 prints of Donald Duck as Darth Mall, Mickey and Minnie on a hover cycle being chased by a trooper and Minnie as Princess A.

More later (if I get wifi) my 1100 rez at Yak and Yeti is now!

Cheers!

I have altered the trip. Pray I do not alter it any further.



Sorry... I just couldn't resist!

Good one - AS long as it is being altered in the direction it is going, alter away!!

OR Paste it in paint so you can save it at higher detailed graphics, every windows computer has paint.

We'll be there the second weekend. In costume or not, I'll be looking for tall red heads!

Also if you see a tall DARK-redhead (I'm from Italian decent so I am not light skinned either) in an R2D2 dress from BlackMilk, that could be me too!

If you call out Sunrise Student I'll answer you... even my BF knows that's my name on the boards so if I don't hear you and he does he'll let me know

By the way I am so damn right now I can't stand it... been starting packing and gathering things together... even my e-mail confirmation from the Swan reminding me of my visit (as if I could forget) came in today!

Thank you SO MUCH for all of the great info and updates. We are so excited for our very first SWW!

I wasn't going to get park hoppers but now I will. It will be critical to take advantage of the 8 am start. And just when I thought my plans were safe and set in stone.

So, if the park opens sometime around 8, and the characters don't start to meet until 9, will the rides start as soon as the turnstiles open? What about the FP machines? I.e. should we ride TSM first or get in line for Jedi Mickey when we walk in??? I think I'm more excited than my kids!!! LOL

FP machines for RIDES start up right as the park opens.... (when I have a big group with me I am normally the FP runner) but remember if the ride has less than a 30 minute wait just jump on and save your FP for another.

YAY!!! I did it!! so proud of myself. Thanks to all who offered help thru the private message line.

Cinderumbrella I won't be able to research the characters during parade on Friday because I'll be recording but I'll make sure to do it on Saturday and Sunday. And I'll report back.

BTW: I want to apologize in advance for my posts during Friday, they will be short, frequent and may have gramatical errors in them.

I can read them on my PlayBook so it definitely worked! Thanks!

Is this the good life or not? Having lunch at AK and getting to plan for SWW at the same time.

Cheers!

PARK HOPPERS ARE THE BEST, never leave home without them! snicker OK wrong commercial...

But seriously even without SWW they have been so kewl to have that freedom to dine where ever, see the fireworks we missed the day we were at that park, or re run a few rides on repeat days at different parks!

 

[Diegosmom]

wooohoooo thanks so much...

The map/schedule looks so cool this year.

This will be our first SWW and we are so excited...we arent going till the 4th weekend though so plenty of time to research so all your posts will be so helpful...

I am trying to make a rough schedule (knowing that it will have to change on fly depending on autograph time and JTA time) and I thought I was good but now I need advise.

The plan was enter park around 7:30 (assuming it opens early), Runner to TSM and other adult and DS to sign up for JTA. Then meet up at TSM and ride 2 or so times before going to line up for the Star Wars Disney characters...but now I see that they are starting at 8am...so thinking we should hit that right after JTA signup.../but my son LOVES TSM...and wants to ride a few times...oh what to do...maybe one ride then line up...

If we are there right at 8 will we be able to get thru the line twice (and hopefully get at least 2 different ones?)...Then was thinking of moving on to Chewbacca and Queen Amidala before parade...

Is that all doable?

And for those of you going Friday, if you see me say hi, I'll be going solo, I'll have my video camera and carrying a tripod, I'm setting up close to where the parade comes out and I'll be wearing jeans, a jedi mickey cap and this shirt http://www.heruniverseshop.com/Products/R2-D2-Hero-Tee__HUN-R2D2HERO-TEE.aspx
come say Hi, it'll be fun to put faces to your usernames.
