Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Dear Disney Parks Blog writers: there's an event going on before Frozen Summer Fun, maybe sharing all the details of SWW would be appropriate
@lovethattink your thread is about to explode

RIGHT?! Can we talk about what's going on in May before we skip to June. I understand Frozen-mania is what sells, but I want to throw my money at Disney too!!

I have a 4:35 reservation on 6-14 for 4 that you are welcome too. We got a breakfast so I will be canceling this one. Just let me know.

I appreciate it, thank you...I think the 8:35 will fit my plans better so I will try to see the fireworks the next night. Now, if you are cancelling a breakfast with the Star Wars characters that's a different story - I'd love to do that. All sold out, I guess that's what happens when you come late to the party But really, I"ll just be happy to be there, I'm sure.

I'm excited about both SWW and FSF.

I think the reason we know nothing much about shows and celebrities is that they are still negotiating with them! Which is crazy that Disney can be so stingie about the funds they pay these celebrities, the amount of money SWW fans throw at Disney during this time frame is INSANE! I mean seriously... Star Wars Character Meals, Galactic gatherings, SW VIP Tour, FtF and the merch! OMG it's like printing money...

Right now there are a TON of the celebrities we would like to see already doing SWC Anaheim http://www.starwarscelebration.com/Guests/Special-Guests/ a month earlier... and I bet that is part of it. There is only a month in between the two and if Disney is not going to pay I see alot of them say heck I am pooped just did a convention a month ago why bother!

Honestly I was surprised to see that they got JAT involved in this year SWW, the poor man is hosting SWC already!

Oh my, look at that lineup. If only the flight to California didn't cost as much as our whole weekend at WDW...

@The Sunrise Student is going to be a very busy girl at Celebration...

Monday at 10 am they opened up the ability to buy autograph tickets for SWC... We got the following set up, we hope...

Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels, Bill Dee Williams, Ian McDiarmid, Jeremy Bulloch, Tim Rose, Daniel Logan, Ray Park, Matthew Wood, Brian Muir, and John Ratzenberger

Why do I say "we hope", because some are like buying ride tickets at the fair and some are straight up just for them, it's crazy. For those you pre-purchase designated tickets for we did, the others you find out how much they are going to charge and buy enough $10 tickets to cover their fees.

We are planning to have them all sign the same SWC poster (we hope) just like we do for SWW.

2 things...

What time do they typically do the parade?

And is anyone interested in a reservation for the SW Galactic Breakfast? I have one for 5/19 at 8:25 for 3 ppl that I need to cancel and would be happy to coordinate.

Thanks!

ok SWWBreakfast pople that have bee. I might have dremt this so please be kind. I thought i read somewhere that while eating you could ask for another breakfast and they will give it to you. I figure im paying 40+ for the meal i should be able to get to. Then again im a little piggy. Im still on the fence about the FtF package with recent events in m life but i think im really going to do it and try and enjoy myself

As far as the stage does anyone see them installing a lighting system that can be lowered? or is that impossible?

Delta decided to change its flight schedules for the summer and has completly messed up my plans.

At the beginning, it was reported the servers in SciFi would bring second servings of anything you desired, all you needed to do was ask. I'm not sure if that continued through to the last SWW as the timing of the breakfast kept getting streamlined due to backlogs.

 

[yulilin3]

I just asked for extra pastries and a box and took that with us. It made for a good midday snack. We did breakfast weekend 3 I believe

I would say that they will have all the merchandise from the GG available to purchase once SWW starts, until supplies last. But we haven't really gotten a post of the SWW merchandise so who knows.
I think that even though you can go to GG they are still trying to limit the amount of things to purchase to leave some for us regular folks

Are the D&B bags the same design from the Star Wars Half? After the race, we spent some time in the parks and they were still being sold in gift shops, and there seemed to be a lot available. Guess they didn't sell as quickly as other race event purses.
