Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

That would be cool, I think he does a super good job being Masters of Ceremonies, and his show is FUN!

Also I just noticed during another preview for SW Rebels that he at least has a cameo roll, and if you look the show up on IMDB he is listed for 1 show. Wonder if they will keep having him pop in from time to time.

SWW 2013, several of the celebs had said they were going to appear in the new series. I hope they do! I noticed JAT in that preview too.

WOW... can't imagine getting to stay at Disney for 5 weeks.... huge sigh, sounds heavenly to me!

We went for all 5 weekends. Stayed onsite for weekends 1, 3, 4, 5 and off site weekend 2. I was done with SWW by the end of 3. My ds and dh would have loved it to last longer.

Not sure what will happen this year. Dh ended up requesting all of June off. But he'll only get one of those weeks.

Holy smokes, You and Yulilin are machines.... don't know how you do it. We are doing two weekends this year, last year we did only one and it didn't seem like enough! Was very pouty when we left!

PS I was talking about relaxing and enjoying ALL of Disney for 5 weeks...

I read on a post a few weeks ago that there is an outside area of The Brown Derby to get a good view of the night time Star Wars activities while you eat, can someone verify that?

Thanks

There's an outside lounge but it does not have a good view of the activites at the hat stage.

That would be the Brown Derby Lounge. There are trees between the Lounge and the Hat and stage. I would think you would only see the fireworks that are to the right of the Hat.

not outside of Brown Derby...maybe you are thinking the Bill and Mins area where there are tables and chairs and you can see the big jumbotron and also the fireworks?

 

[bella-noel]

So there is really no eateries in that area that have great views unless we do the dessert party?

You can have dinner and then find a place near the stage or jumbotron screen. Fireworks take place 15 minutes before park closing and most restaurants are winding down for the night.

Like I said, you can buy food at Min and Bill's Dockside Diner and it has tables and chairs in an open area right in front of the jumbotron that shows the live video of what's happening on stage and you also get a good view of the fireworks. You can also buy food from any other counter service and grab a table at Min and Bill's and enjoy it there
Are you familiar with the park?

Just adding that many have To Go containers making it easy to take food there.

When we did hoopla another fun food snack what the starwars meal buckets they have at the commissary, (it was R2D2 the year we did it). We had a late lunch that day at a sit down place that was pretty filling then we did the R2D2 buckets for a healthy snack dinner.

That might be something for you to get to go stuff from the commissary for eating while waiting for the fireworks.

WOW, and here I thought I would be the first to subscribe when Yulilin started her thread, but I was beat out by three pages!

Super excited, already counting the days, already booked AKL Club Level for May 14th - 25th hoping to catch the first two weekends!

Candleshoe of course. One of my faves.

Man if that were only possible for us. I'd love to go multiple weekends but so far since we started going to SWW 2 years ago, we've gone to two weekends each year.

Each year we've been lucky enough to go when the weather wasn't too bad and allowed us to dress up:


(Blurred photo, I know. It's a screen grab from my vid I shot)

Of course, I'm the Jedi in the photo below:


Can't wait for 2015! I'm sure we'll be dressed up again

With todays announcement of a new Frozen package for the holiday season we can almost be 100% sure that the SWW package will be back.
So it's time to start saving, the SWW along with the Frozen summer fun package (included reserved spot for parade, soda, ice cream, dessert party for fireworks viewing) were $54 for adults and $32 for kids and $59 adults/$34 kids . This new Frozen package is $89 for adults and $59 for kids, and in my honest opinion, it has less value.
But we can now predict that the SWW package will go up in price, so anywhere between $54 and $90 per adult
