Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Right!?!? I showed my daughter and she said, while everyone will be running for Chewie or JTA we are going to the first popcorn stand to get the bucket and then find the cupholder
I'm hoping they're ready for the demand, last year the Stormtrooper cupholders sold out first weekend, then they had them back by weekend 3

I don't think the popcorn stands open right away. We were looking for an ice cream cart that was open recently and none were open until closer to 11am.

I'm not a big popcorn person and I only drink water, so it'd be nice to save a few bucks.

we are exactly on the same boat. Non popcorn eaters and we also only drink water

When will you guys be there? If the first wknd, DH will kindly eat ALL your popcorn for you!!

Years ago, at an 8am park opening, he was APPALLED to find that the popcorn stands didn't open until a little later!

Anyone have a guess on the price of the bucket and mug?

(I'm earning my extra SWW spending money by selling stuff on a local garage sale sight. I'm going to have to start selling things I don't want to get rid of soon, lol!!)

I know what you mean, I just sold off my Zelda collector's editions (3ds XLs, new 3ds XL, limited edition games w/figures, etc) on eBay to help pay for the trip/VIP tour. I was surprised how much they fetched though.

Please Join the SWW Roll Call...
I'm trying not to sound desperate, but, if you would like to be added to the Roll Call, please join before FTF becomes available. It will be much easier to plug in FTF into the existing list especially because DISboards does not appear to like my iPad and iPhone 6!

Do the popcorn buckets get cheaper refills or do you just buy a non souvenir popcorn and pour it in your bucket for a refill?

I don't remember hearing anything about a refill price.

Personally I'm getting the popcorn bucket just so I can have a cool "purse" later but popcorn is good too

OMG I just saw the Boba Fett Mug Good thing I started saving up for merch at the end of last year's event

 

[keishashadow]

note to self to look where the popcorn stand is located during may trip

Cool, thanks. I didn't think so, but I've never actually bought a popcorn bucket at WDW, so I thought I'd ask. The popcorn bucket is one of "freebies" for the Galactic Gathering, so I just have to decide if I want the Fett mug. Probably not. (I'm not a big fan of Boba Fett.)

Really hope they are ready for demand on the popcorn bucket and mug-think both hubs and son will want one!

My DS used the darth vader popcorn bucket as a part of his Halloween costume. He was a decapitated Darth Vader.

The Cinderella popcorn buckets ran out on Friday...but heard they should be making a comeback.

The trooper mugs ran out...and they made a comeback.

The Death Star glow cubes ran out...but did not make a comeback.

I foresee a huge demand for the Boba Fett mug and Han bucket. A bigger demand than those listed above.

 

[yulilin3]

Who else is tired of seeing the Stunning Sights of the Grand Canyon on the DPB?

 

[williamscm3]

Me!! This wait for FTF is killing me!

So what you're saying is I should buy several on the first day and sell them on eBay for a profit later, right? Just kidding! I wouldn't do that, but I did see some listed as "pre-orders" on eBay already, along with everything else from the GG.

There are people who have made an entire career out of Disney reselling. It's not something I'd be interested in doing myself, but I don't think the profit margin is as high as it would seem.

Say you charge $50 for a $30 MagicBand...

eBay takes $5 in fees, Paypal takes $2.50, and shipping costs $7 because the buyer wants the box and eBay makes you buy tracking.

You've made a grand total of $5.50.

It doesn't even seem worth it to me, but I guess if you have the time & sell at a high enough volume...

No discounts. They won't refill it, but you can purchase a box of popcorn and dump it in.

No, I'm pointing out to the "powers that be" who read this thread that the Fett mug and Han popcorn bucket are totally awesome and there will be high demand!!
