Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Well, today is March 22nd. I believe this is the date that the VIP was supposed to be announced to the public, and possibly the FtF. ??? I came here 1st to look, but I'm going to look at the Disney SWW site now. I really had my fingers crossed when I got up this morning! Not so much now since no word here. Oh well.

I doubt they will announce anything today. Unless they try and sneak up on us since they never release anything on a Sunday, and they do and then less people find out about it

Going to DHS later today, anyone want me to ask or check anything??

I thought Sunday would be an odd day to release something.....fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

williamscm3 , you have brought me out from lurking. I need it! I have not been able to get in for the Galactic Breakfast.

We're new to SWW. It's our first. I have a few health issues to consider so I've tried to space things out. I've been reading and we've decided what is a must and what is not. Would you guys tell me if my plans seems plausible.
June 4(Thurs)
JTA sign up first thing
Planned a pretty usual day which I am confident in
Jedi fantasmic package at H&V-
June 5
Maybe try Chewbacca at 8 if line isn't crazy already.
1130 parade but should get a spot by 10?
Hoping for FP+ for Saga of the stars
Then leave the park
June 6
arrive for dinner mama Melrose
Fireworks I should find a spot by 730 for 930 fireworks really?
June 7th
Day a different park
evening
Darth vader line 730pm
Shopping
Would Sunday evening be a good time to get a few meet and greet and shopping in at a less crowded time?

Any critique suggestions would be great. Am I missing something you guys think shouldn't be missed?

I'm not sure how to message you? Have you made 10 posts yet? I think you need to do that before we can start a private message. That would be the best way to coordinate the release of it.

Thursday looks fine
Friday, yeah you need to grab a spot for parade at the latest 10:30am, but if you really want a shaded area then it needs to be earlier, look at the comprehensive review link on the first page and you'll see what I mean
Satuday: you don't need to get a spot for fireworks that early unless you want Hollywood Blvd, cenetred fireworks with the GMR. You can see them from really anywhere around Echo Lake, the Min and Bills area, all the way down to Crossroads (entrance of the park)
Sunday: Darth's mall tends to be less busy in the evening, Vader's line will stay consistently busy all day (1 hour at least) The earlier in the day you meet the characters the better for 2 reasons:
1.- less busy
2.- weather; it'll get super hot or worse, we will have our normal afternoon showers that will force all of the characters that meet outside to go indoors. SWW doesn't have any rain locations for the characters so you'll miss out
