Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Can I get some more info on the shows - I admit I haven't read the entire thread........... but, if anyone can tell me more about the shows, do we just show up for them? Do we need tickets? It doesn't really specify on page 1. Thanks so much.

Stars of the Saga is the host, James Arnold Taylor asking questions and talking the 2 visiting celebrities, pre show with the stormtroopers is not to be missed.
Behind the force will probably be Ashley Eckstein talking to the visiting voice actor .
Obi Wan and Beyond is James Arnold Taylor taking you thru what it takes to be a voice actor, he showcases hundreds of voices, it really is incredible.
These are the main 3 shows. If Ray Park comes he'll probably do Visit to the Maul, he shows his martial arts moves.
Warwick Davis, if he comes, he'll probably do My Short Story, it's his career using guests from the audience as actors
You don't need tickets for the shows, fp will be an option but it's not necessary to watch. Standby lines are long for SotS, Visit the Maul and Short Story.
Last year there was a special Conversation with Mark Hammil that was, obviously, very popular. If a big name like that comes again that will be the fp to get

No idea, the CM on the VIP line hinted that it might open buy the end of the month

Make sure you are watching the June ADR cancellation board, I've seen lots of Galactic breakfasts recently on the May board.

Good advice! I've been faithfully following the June cancellation board--am still hoping for a 6/14 Galactic breakfast for 6 (PM me!)...perhaps when FtF is released more cancellations will be forthcoming...

No, I didn't. In my experience with other tours, there won't be one. It doesn't show up on MDE either. It's quite annoying.

After watching the D-Tech Me videos, I have a question. Do you have to pull your hair away from your forehead if you're doing the stormtooper or pilot? I have bangs and it would look weird if my figurine didn't.

they give you a head band to ware for the pic than you can pick your hairstyle after that they need your hair out of the way to get a clear 3-d picture....

The only thing to do is go to My Plans for that specific day > Add Plans > Notes and add the info. It then shows up in your My Plans area.

Wait minute.....how did I miss that the shows were outside this year!?!? How is tha possible??? Is there something wrong with the Idol theater??? That stupid frozen show needs to hit the road.

They're kicking out Beauty and the Beast in the afternoons rather than use the old AI theater. It probably means the final renovations for AI need to take place before Frozen moves there. Basically it means two theaters designated for the Frozen Sing Along - one where it currently is located plus one where it will eventually end up.

You are just RUDE. How dare you not know the EXACT time i need to get into line for an autograph. Do you claim not to know the seconds to that minute that i need to be in line?

For those that might have missed it, im kidding

The thread We Dare Not Name !!!

Looking for reservation for 2 at galactic breakfast on Sat May 16. Anyone planning to cancel a reservation that morning?

 

[hydrotony]

Do you as the APH need to be there, could you get one for say a wife, or son. That wasnt there? Im wondering because id really like both

I personally don't know. They made sure I was a APH when I ordered mine. Go order first when you enter, it takes 30 minutes or more to make them and bag them and bring them to the counter. They were made in an adjacent room. Many badges were poorly made and had to be redone. You can use that time to shop.

sent you a PM
@Itinkso can you take away that we are doing the breakfast on the 16th from the roll call thread please
My daughter is turning 15 in October and that's huge in our culture (Quinceañera) and we decided to surprise her with a trip the NYC, so no special anything for us during SWW.

One thing my wife and I agree on is getting the bonus stuff is fun, but just going is awesome. It seems like Disney does a great job giving bonuses without making it feel like everyone else is missing out.

I was told we'd receive an email about 10 days prior with additional details -- no confirmation email now, though.

She also specifically said it won't show up on MDE this year -- she said she's heard Disney is moving in that direction for all bookings of any sort to appear in MDE, but not yet. I tried adding the confirmation number just in case, and no luck.

I just added it in My Plans as a note, like I've done with past special bookings like this.
