I was happy to book the H&V breakfast, because it will "save" me hours in lines to meet even a couple of those characters.

I do want to see R2MK, too.

I'm sure this was answered somewhere, but I must have missed it...

1) Is Darth Mall only open during Fri-Sat-Sun, or every day during "SWW Season" (like these character meals are)?

2) Do the Disney Characters dressed as SW characters sign their regular signature for autographs, or do they do something special (Jedi Mickey, etc.)?

Thanks SWW veterans!

1. Only on the weekends during sww
2. They sign their regular name

Did they add another meal? I thought it was H&V Dinner with Mickey, Minnie, Chip,Dale, Donald and Goofy as SW characters then Sci Fi Breakfast with SW characters?

Star Wars characters are at the Sci-Fi breakfast

Playhouse Disney characters are at the H&V breakfast

I was not clear, I am sorry! I booked the H&V DINNER with the SW Disney characters. I realize R2MK will not be at my dinner, but since all those other guys WILL be, it will help me deal with that R2MK line. I hope.

There is. Last year there was one beside the parents if the jedi in parade section, up by the hat, in direct sun. It was deep, though the amount of space for front row was maybe 8 feet across if I remember correctly? They allowed 1 petson to accompany the person in a wheelchair or ecv.

thank you that's helpful

In addition to what yulilin3 said, close to parade time they block traffic at the Star Tours intersection and it really bottlenecks. My advice from Sci-Fi, if it's not blocked for cm only, is to take the little path at Chewie's line and come out at the restroom. Then you'll be able to get over to the Backlot Express or maybe find a spot by those restrooms if they aren't letting people cross the street.

Awesome. You guys are the best! Thank you!!!

Has anyone heard what the menu is going to be for the Galactic Breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine-In is going to be? We have a res on Saturday the 14th of June and are just wondering if they have announced what is going to be offered? Or if someone who goes to the first ones will be able to let everyone know what they have there to eat. Thanks, I would have read through all 178 pages to see if anyone has already asked but I didn't have enough time...LOL

Update: Just realized that it is actually on disney's menus...that stuff sounds awesome!!

Has anyone that booked the Ultimate VIP Package gotten their email confirmation yet? It's been two weeks since I reserved it and I know he said it would be awhile. I think we will cancel it now because of the Feel the Force package, but I want to make sure they haven't added something else to the Ultimate since the guy I reserved it from said they were still "fine tuning".

Also, was the Ultimate VIP Package every officially announced on the Disney website? I can't find it.

I got my confirmation email about 3 hours after I booked it, which was on April 21. The email said:

Good Afternoon Mrs. ----,

It was a pleasure getting to speak with you today, and booking your Star Wars Weekend Ultimate Tour today. Your confirmation number is ******. Rob will be sending out another email with more information regarding the Itinerary for the day one week before the actual tour. If you have any questions or would like some more information on the tour, please feel free to call us at 1-(407)-934-7973. We would love to speak with you.

Thank you again and may the force be with you,

Jonathan A. Jordan

Did you get that email? Or are you wondering about the email that will come about a week before the tour? I'm signed up for June 15, so it will be awhile before I get the itinerary.

Having a hard time making FP+ decisions... We've been to SWW with our two DS (now 7 & 9) before and spent probably 2.5 days entirely at DHS but this is the first time we will have our two DD (4 & 4) who have very little interest. I have a full day planned Th. @ MK and was going to spend all day Fri (w/ FTF & H&V dinner) & Sat (w/ a Sci Fi bkfast) and until we head home Sun around lunch at DHS but now I'm not sure if I can keep the little girls entertained and now debating scheduling some FP+ and park hopping Fri. & Sat. Would love to hear what others are doing with split interest children. Or any other opinions about staying at DHS all weekend vs. doing some park hopping.

Thanks for the info (this and everything else!!)./KSL

Subscribing. Will be going for the first time for my birthday - 24th / 25th May. Looks like I have picked a busy weekend (we will be coming straight from a week on the Fantasy) but can't wait to experience it for myself. Looking forward to hearing all about it

We are doing the same!!! First time to SWW & love this information!!!

Contact your local 501st, there should be an online form to fill out to request an appearance. I would think this is something the wish granter would do?

Yep, the Legion is ideal for this sort of request. Get in touch with them and see what can be worked out. I hope it goes well. Best of luck on the request.

I will miss Star Wars weekend by two weeks. Will they still have merchandise?

 

[RAPstar]

I have now finally finished the Star Wars saga. And only a little over 2 weeks till SWW!! Watching in the alternate series (451236) really did have a good flow to it. Maybe next year I'll rewatch them again in numerical order just to see how that goes (I haven't done it yet. Shocking, I know). Can't wait to see some of y'all out there on the 16th!!
