Official Star Wars Weekends 2014 Tips and Tricks

Hoping that the first weekend MIGHT be a little earlier...

Probably skipping it this year to go to London. First time I haven't been to SWW in many years..

I just booked a 1 bedroom at BWV May 29-June 1. Is it save to say that we will definitely see SWW?? Can't Wait

There's a very good chance that it will be a SWW

I keep thinking that with Disney OWNING Star Wars now, that they would change thing up.

I know it was owned BEFORE last year, but not a long time before. This time, they could do something REALLY great.

Star Wars weekend to Star Wars... MONTH!

An entire SW month would be pretty awesome. There's always hope that they do something different, I guess we have to wait and see... Always in Motion the Future is

We booked for that same weekend at BWI too, hoping it will be one of the four weekends... I know it's normally the last two weekends in May and the first two in June, so we figured with is smack dab in the middle we had a shot, unless they change their timing all together.

Yulilin have you heard if they still intend to announce dates here in December?

Nope, nothing at all. As soon as I find out I'll post it here.
May and June hours are out on the HUB...there is a change in schedule: EMH are usually Saturday mornings at DHS and it shows that until May 10th but the following weekend it doesn't show EMH. So, basically, starting May 17th there are no EMH on Saturdays. The time still says 9am to 9pm with one Fantasmic at 9pm...and EMH Saturday mornings come back on the schedule for Saturday June 14th.
Not official at all but it looks like SWW will be:
May 16th-May 18th
May 23rd-May 25th
May 30th-June 1st
June 6th- June 8th

We booked June 12-18....school schedules dictated those dates

It makes it sort of difficult to plan with dates coming out when they do.

Like I said, these dates are not official yet. Just making assumptions based on EMH changes in the regular DHS schedule.

WOW, from this it looks like my boyfriend and I hit the third weekend, with our reservations at BWI for May 29th - June 2nd. I will not take this as set in stone, but the switch in magic hours does seem kinda "note" worthy for sure! As always thanks for any of the advanced info you can give us!

OFF TOPIC WARNING:

Trooper8286 > I see your reservations are for Bay Lake Towers, is this your first stay or are you a DVC member there? I have always wondered about that resort, I saw the PR photos and thought it looked really awesome! I am not wanting to become a DVC member but I would LOVE to try it out some time.

 

[Averie]

Fingers crossed for May 16-18.

These are the dates that would coincide with last year's dates. Your reasoning makes sense too.

Subscribing... haven't been to SWW in a few years. Looking forward to it!

We saw on several sites June 13,14,15 listed. I hope so we have a studio at BWV. I am going to nursing conference at Coronado the 14th-18th. Hubby is excited to go. He is prepping his outfit now.

It's all speculation at this point, but the change in EMH hours in the HUB is a clear sign that it will start 5/16 thru 6/8.
Of course they can change that as well

I saw those dates on other sites too. It's hard to say for sure until the official announcement. However, what yulinin3 noted in the HUB points to the 4 weekends before then.

Means we're one step closer to an official announcement. DH had to turn in his vacation time in October. But he has every other weekend off, so that hits two Saturdays and Sundays!

I know this is also speculation, but I can't help but wonder if MB and FP+ will be linked to any SWW events or just attractions? I'd assume just attractions. But think how great that would be to bypass waiting for the Premiere Theatre in the sweltering heat.

I'm not the person you were asking, but we stayed at BLT this past June (did a split stay at Swan for SWW and then stayed at BLT the second half of our trip). It was wonderful! We stayed in a 1 BR so of course having all of that room was amazing. We loved the resort itself and really loved being able to walk to MK. With that said, I prefer the Epcot resorts area just a tad more, and this coming June, we'll stay the whole trip at BWV 1 BR.

Wow, that would be incredible! Hope they can make it happen!

Thanks Music City Mama It sounds awesome, seems like somewhere I need to put on my list... right now we have reservations at BWI for this SWW Quickie, next year 2015 SWW we were are doing a long 10 day (two SWW weekend trip) and thinking of staying at AKL cause that one has been on my bucket list for a while...

I have turned my boyfriend into a Disney Addict, and I really think he would enjoy BTL, the theme seems right up his alley...

Starting to reconsider AKL for BLT for 2015 trip... Can a person without DVC stay at BLT without having to rent points?

I'll send you a private message so we don't take over yulilin's thread.
