Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[xApril]

Thanks! All of our out of town family was waiting on the balcony and I thought, oh no, did I miss it again?? But I went out at 9:35 to wait for them so I didn't see how I could have, but then we saw a flash or two from the preshow so we were hopeful and finally at 9:58, we got both Wishes and Symphony of the Stars,so everyone was happy. This is their only weekend night they will be here and I was so worried they would miss them! Any idea what the delay was about? It was a beautiful night and a beautiful show after all, thank goodness!

Glad you got to see it! They just said a technical delay around 9:40pm and some people left. Didn't say anything further.

If we have a 10:25 Galactic breakfast, will the characters be affected be the parade at 11? Or can they be inside Sci Fi and at the parade at the same time? How was your experience if you had a late breakfast on the weekends? Thanks!

Looks like we might be seeing a lot of each other Friday! We have a 10:30 galactic breakfast.

Dang! I'll be doing the same thing you are doing! haha! No extra adult with us either.

Will actually have DH there, but he's planning to head to JTA with my other son. I figure he'll be stuck in line there for awhile.

Saw Linda Skywalker today in Luke's set. I had no idea who she was until now. Now I know who you all were talking about.

Fireworks were awesome. We saw them from by echo lake on Friday and really enjoyed them. We didn't intend to go back to SWW, but DD really wanted to see Leia so we went back today. After 1.5 hours in line (!) we managed to see her (got in line 20 minutes before she came out, but she came and it switched back to Luke before we got to the front. So we met Luke and cycled back through line). Since we were in the park, we stayed through the fireworks. This time we watched from in front of the Brown Derby, which ended up being a spectacular location - it wasn't crowded and we were right underneath the bursts.

rumor that I heard yesterday was that Anthony Daniel was supposed to come weekend V and do his one man show but something happened
Still rumor is that he will be there and only do the motorcade....so who knows.

Had a great SWW number 3 yesterday! Love seeing familiar faces everywhere. Love the double Sabines. Crowds MUCH less yesterday. Enjoyed Saga as always, gonna try and see if I can get an Oz next week but so far nothing. Maybe SB. You never know one yr to the next so I want to see all the shows while I still have a pass. All the Fps sold out so far so I think next week being last week, Oz and school out for everyone may be quite busier. I keep trying to get the FPs tho. Only need 2.

Great fireworks as always and finally some fun ST riders yesterday! Let's all remember to have FUN!

I would also try for Oz FP, or other shows around 9-11 am the day of... People like us, if we get that as our 1 show reserved we will be releasing our 6 FP, prob. others will too......

Thanks to everyone on this thread for the great advice and tips. We were able to complete the trifecta of sign ups this morning - VttM, PMC, and JTA. Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to help and contribute to this thread that has helped me so much!

impressive!!

The mystery pins are sold out. I was looking for those today and the CMs said the last of them went friday. Also my son noticed on friday that the mugs are all gone. He bought one for DH a couple weeks ago to put back for fathers day so he is pleased that he made a good choice.

Oh NO!! SWW coffee mugs are all gone Thats what this coffee addict really wanted... I blame the evil empire of Starbucks by creating all of us caffeine addicts, lol.

I made my SWW photos public for a little bit and uploaded some extra pics of the VttM show. It was tough to get any pics from where they sat us in the theater, but this was the best I could do. Hopefully your child is in one of them. Let me know when you have looked and Ill set them back to private.

Aw, cute!! Do you know the ages to do the VttM sign ups? Thanks!!

Do you think that it will still be possible to get Star Wars autograph books at Movieland Memorabilia on Friday afternoon? We were hoping to save some time on Saturday by picking up a book or two the day before we go.

Your photos are amazing! Do you mind if I ask what camera you are using and settings? Love the Jawa trading too, was that at RH?

I will be cancelling a 7:25pm Jedi Mickey Dinner for 4 people on June 12th (THIS FRIDAY!!!!!!) at 11am. Please let me know if you would like to coordinate before then, otherwise it will be released to the general public. I was able to pick up an 8:30pm reservation in hopes of getting to meet the Fab 4 during their last set of the night.
