Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

You're probably right. The CMs were confused this morning. 4 signed up for VttM before a dad asked if they needed a band. Then they handed out bands momentarily on the honor system.

But I specifically asked, why 4:30 for a 7 show. She said, for practice.

That was my DH lol they were very unorganized this morning.

I am canceling a sci-fi breakfast for 8am tomorrow. I will do it at exactly 11:00 if anyone wants to pick it up.

Thanks I got it. To pay it forward I'm releasing my 9:45 reservation for 6/13 at 11:30 EST.

My mini review of last night/ Rd

We arrived at 9:40pm and ended up with 1:10 for mayhew.if you plan to come tonight or tomorrow bring ear plugs in case they continue the frozen practice.

My kids managed to wriggle to the rope so took off at RD and we're the first 3 to sign up.for VttM. Unorganized with no bands and the return time is wrong.

We have done nothing else but go on rides as all the characters we still need are in the pm.
Just grabbing an early lunch so we can figure out a game plan to get as many as we can in between mayhew and shows, etc.

The posters are still not marked down nor are the logo tees and nothing is further reduced yet. Plenty of merch left though.

Sitting on the curb since 10am waiting on the parade. Cant wait! We have the FtF Deluxe today. My daughter who is not a Star Wars fan said she wants to come back next year. Its growing on her. Hooray!

The Force is strong on your family!

I'll see y'all tomorrow at HS don't know what shirt I'm wearing yet changes are the Boba Fett tank just because I never realized I would love it soooooooooooooo much. Anyhow as per usual thanks to all the people that have helped me with FP's for my newb AP friends. I'm still trying to get them SotS but if not then they will just have to brave the stand-by line I'm not missing another SotS cause they can't be bothered to do FP's and search for better options. UGH any hoo rant over! So excited for Frank Oz and the possibility of Boba signing my stein.

Did anyone else get a SWW survey email? I did yesterday. I'm a bit disappointed there wasn't a "Is there anything else you'd like us to know?" spot at the end, and they didn't ask for any specific feedback on the meals, but I'm hoping that the appearance of this survey means that Disney is finally paying attention to its one piece of IP that may be able to compete with Harry Potter.

What time are the two sets for the droids Leia and Luke again? A friend of mine is there today and I told her I would ask!

I got one after going to the second weekend and they asked me specifically about each meal and the FTF package. I mentioned how I would like if all the characters would sign at the breakfast and dinner. I also raved as much as possible about the rebel hangar and how they should keep it permanently!

It's only a matter of time before they announce part of HS is cutting over to SW or a new park. The 1st being more likely.

me too, about the Rebel Hangar...I just love the experience, the decor and the prices

yep, if you love One Man's Dream it's time to experience it, now, and take as many pictures, rumor has it that is one of the first things to go, maybe as early as September

 

[Disney Diva Mom]

Two hours before I pick the kids up and surprise the with the trip on the way to the airport. See everyone in the morning - hopefully for the Chewie run!!!!

Waiting in line for Queen Amidala this am a manager was standing near and asked if we had done the Rebel Hangar. Hope this interest means they are considering keeping it.
I got that survey too- one thing I emphasized was the price points. They are dangerously close to being to high for many many families to experience much- especially if you have more than one child.

 

[only hope]

In my opinion they've already outpriced the average family or young adult.

Am here today, have an extra Yoda poster and need a Darth Maul poster.

This was my first SWW and I loved it. I want to go again next year. I want to rent DVC points for Beach Club so I need to know dates ASAP. I also know that the actual dates won't be released until September, but I was wondering if there was a historical tendency for certain weekends in May and June. I'm asking here because so many posters seem to be annual visitors.

Thanks for the help!

No! That's my AC cooling off spot.

the actual dates are not released until December but it could be either of these
May 13th thru June 12th or
May 20th thru June 19th
I'm thinking the first one since they don't want to go too deep into June

 

[palmtreegirl]

Oh my gosh last night sounds horrible. Glad we decided not to go. I hope they're not doing it again tonight!

 

[DekrRini]

Thanks! This helps a lot.

Anyone know if they have 2015 magnets? Darth's Mall completely sold out. Don't see in regular stores either.
