Official Star Wars Weekends 2014 Tips and Tricks

[Music City Mama]

I got the 6/8 Stars of the Saga!! I hope, hope, hope that Mark Hamill participates!

On a sad note, they don't even list Visit to the Maul on 6/7 -- I can only assume it sold out of FP+.

 

[Music City Mama]

It's weird, though, because Stars of the Saga still shows for 6/7 but w/ no times available. A Visit to the Maul isn't even listed.

Nothing is showing up for my weekend (23-25) in MDE

Where is the Star of Saga theater at in Hollywood Studios?

Actually the theater's name is Premiere Theater and it's located behind the Muppets, next to Mama Melrose, this is where the old show Hunchback of Notre Dame used to be.
SWW shows that will be there are:
Behind the Force Star Wars Voices
Stars of the Saga
Visit to the Maul
An Ewoks Tale-My Short Story
Obi Wan and Beyond

I'm on my computer right now and all of the shows are available for that weekend

On the Disney food Blog from the Hollywood and Vine Dinner it says till 8 PM on the picture but my reservation time is 8:25 PM. Does anyone know if my time will still include the characters like they said it would?

 

[Music City Mama]

This is very perplexing. Yulilin, I know you have an AP so you can't see this far ahead, but if anyone else can check this out, I would appreciate it.

So, I got Stars of the Saga on 6/8 -- A Visit to the Maul was available, too.

For 6/7, I wanted to choose Visit to the Maul, but it's not even showing as an option. The other shows are shown on 6/7, but not Visit to the Maul. I thought about trying to switch my Stars of the Saga and Maul days, but when I click on Stars of the Saga for 6/7, I'm told that there are no times available so I can't do that. Why would Visit to the Maul not even be displayed for 6/7 . . . ??

I reserved visit to the maul for June 7 an hour ago. All of the shows were showing for June 7.

Anything special with the movie ride on Star Wars weekends? Wondering if SW characters lead the ride with light sabers or something like that....instead of the usual gangsters and shootouts.

What is the best way for a child to be picked for the visit to the maul show? My son would love it!!

This would be awesome...but, no, nothing special happens at the Movie Ride

They did not change the Great Movie Ride last year when I was there for SWW.

Yes, any insight as my DS would love to do this too!!

When my kids got picked for the show (about 4 years ago was the last time) they got picked at random around the Star Tours area, CM look for kids who are energetic, not shy and have some sort of SW shirt/dress or costume...I think I remember hearing that last year some kids got picked right before the show while they were waiting to go inside

All of the shows are showing as available for me on 6/7. I got our FP+ for a group of 7 for Stars of the Saga.

Okay, I'm getting really aggravated. I changed my other FP times so there wasn't a conflict in times causing it. I even logged out and back in.

There is no option for Visit to the Maul for me on 6/7 at all. And Stars of the Saga says no more times available (otherwise, I'd flip these two days and take Maul on the 8th).

I had the same thing happen when I went in to modify an existing FP+ experience. So I hit cancel and went back in to book a "new experience", and everything under Tier I showed up and was accessible.

Just got a FP for Stars of Saga for May 17th. We had to get rid of toy story mania to get it. I was having trouble until we changed that FP selection! Hope this helps for someone else!

Yes, the characters will be there until they complete their rotation and meet all of the Diners before the restaurant closes.

I tried swapping around my husband's TSMM FP for Behind the Force Star: Rebels on June 14, but it kept saying that no alternate time was available.

I like the times of my other FP+, so I don't really want to have to screw around with rebooking all of them.

I'll keep trying, but he's cool with standing in line, if necessary.
