Official Star Wars Weekends 2014 Tips and Tricks

[jkramer]

Does anyone know what the photopass thing is with the breakfast? It seems at H&V you will get a photopass pic of you with the Chip & Dale Ewoks, does anyone know what the photopass may be at sci-fi? The way I am reading is its just a pic of darth vader etc added to your photopass card not with your party in it?

I would've guessed it's more like Chef Mickey's or Hoop Dee Doo where its you in with some star wars memorabilia prop.

We are going to the breakfast and dinner. In MDE, it doesn't say anything about Star Wars. Does anyone have it listed as something other than Hollywood and vine and Sci Fi? I don't see any details about it.

It shows SCI Fi at 8am. I know this has never been open for breakfast.

I booked dinner fro 5:00 on May 16th and breakfast at 8:00 on May 17th! So excited we won't have to wait in line to see all of these characters!

The CM said that breakfast is from 8-noon. Do you think the parade will be later in the day? I wouldn't think they would have the characters in the parade and at breakfast at the same time. Thoughts?

Also, where will the special fireworks show be? I was thinking it was going to be in the same area as Fantasmic but from what I've read that isn't the case. Confused!

Thanks.

@jen - Try clicking on My Reservations and Tickets in MDX. Then click on show details for your H&V reservation. It should then show the Jedi/F! package.

Just got H&V Fantasmic package 5/16 @4:50pm! Thanks to whoever posted the tip about continuing to ask for an operator. I was able to get right through once they transferred me!

Glad everyone is getting thru...got our breakfast ressies at 8am on June 1st. I wasn't even gonna try because my kids are old now and not that interested in characters but I'll keep the reservation just for the atmosphere of it all.
It'll probably be the most expensive breakfast I've had (closely followed by Cindy's Royal Table)

Woot Woot, you guys have reservations for breakfast at the same time we do!

See you there

We're going for breakfast May 25. So excited we won't have to wait in hot lines for these characters!

On MDE mine just says Sci Fi 8:05 am. Nothing about Star Wars, though the CM did call it that.

That is the same thing I have, if I look on my MDE I don't see Star Wars but you know that the Sci-Fi Dinner never has breakfast so.....

@jen - Try clicking on My Reservations and Tickets in MDX. Then click on show details for your H&V reservation. It should then show the Jedi/F! package.

Thanks. Mine doesn't have that listed. We aren't doing the Fantasmic, but they don't say anything other than restaurant names, times. H and V does say character dining.

Got in for Dinner at H & V, not sure if DD9 would be interested in breakfast so I skipped it.

This trip is just full of surprises!!

 

[DisneyQueen1320]

I hope Disney keeps this character meal every year.

I can't attend because we are going in Oct.

Everyone attending this year, have a magical trip.

 

[lovethattink]

Disney Blog says all week May 4 to end of SWW.

 

[GrimGrinningMom]

I hope Disney keeps this character meal every year.

Me, too!!!

 

[alayne]

I was able to get Breakfast at Sci-Fi on May 16th at 8am and dinner at Hollywood and Vine at 5 on May 17 with Fantasmic thanks to my TA who called for me.

Now I'm on hold hoping to get June 14 and June 13 since we booked that too. Please send Pixie Dust I can get in!

I hope Disney keeps these permanently!! They need more things for little boys!! (Not that little girls can't enjoy too, but it is very Princess heavy at WDW anymore!)

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Breakfast May 18. I may not keep it because it is so expensive. If I cancel it I'll post here.

With the special breakfast now taking place, I need some advice...
I DEFINITELY want to be there for the "storm troopers show" for when they open the park, What time would this be projected to start again? What time would you recommend getting to the park to get a good viewing spot for this? After the show, I will head straight to JTA to sign up my son. My Sci-FI ressie is at 9:10am. I am hoping they will allow me to pick the JTA after our ressie, do they allow that? With that being said here is my plan from park opening:

Sign up at JTA
Sci-Fi at 9:10am
Get a "somewhat" viewing for the parade
Go to JTA

I think the morning will be strictly SWW stuff..Characters,parades,etc. and I will save my FP+ for the evening when we return after dinner.

Gotcha! Thanks. The characters at breakfast should take pictures/autographs right??
