Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

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

If you swing by 50s Prime Time could you ask a question for me??

On Moms Sampler, can I swap out the pot roast for another slice of meat loaf?

 

[yulilin3]

I'll ask @markmcalear
There's some new merchandise at Tattooine Traders. R2D2 kids crocs, very cute and some gentleman's shirts. It's not letting me post pictures but I'll try tomorrow

Sounds a lot like our trip "planning" this time around!! We weren't even supposed to be going back until December....

We aren't "supposed" to be going back until November 2016. However, when DH said "I think if we want to go to SWW we have to go this year, next year might be crazy busy with all the new SW fans from the new movie" he heard NO argument from me. I made sure to tell him what a great idea it was, and how impressed I was with his forethought

not so much SWW related but does anyone know how much a mickey stroller fan is and do they work well? We will have an infant with us and if the fan isn't much more expensive than one here, it would be one less thing to pack

I'll go check in a bit and let you know

A tip that I still be adding the first post:
You can ask for a free cup of water at any quick service restaurants and at Backlot Express you can refill a cup or any container for that manner with ice and water for free.

Okay, now that we've made all our FP+ reservations, I'm finally ready to part with my three back-up H&V dinner reservations, one of which is the Fantasmic Package. All of these are for three people. I'll hang onto them for now, so just PM if you want to coordinate:

Friday, May 15 at 5pm WITH Fantasmic
Friday, May 22 at 5:40pm - THIS ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN
Monday, May 25 at 4:45pm

Hope these can help some of you out!

Yes you can hear the music all around echo lake.

Thanks for the info. If I could do just one thing for my husband this trip it would be the fireworks with the music so I have to make the moment as perfect as possible.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I was thinking about it, but I wasn't sure if it would be rude. I might have to bop over to the mall today and see if the Disney store has any R2 umbrellas left for ODS.



Haha, I agree, and I am sure anyone who does cosplay does, too. And, I also agree about Padme. It's not that I have a problem with her in general, but it drove me crazy that she "lost her will to live" while giving birth. I get that there had to be a reason for the kids to have grown up the way they did...ie getting from episode three to four...but it could have been that she died from being force choked lol.

Anyway, I moved our Jedi Mickey dinner, so I have a rezzy to dump. Jedi Mickey for 2 on Monday, May 18 at 7:15. PM if you want to coordinate.

Seriously, how much more epic and tragic would it have been for Anakin to have got angry and killed her after she gave birth.

 

[yulilin3]

@Itinkso not sure if you already knew but just asked 3 cm and Baymax and Hiro don't have an expected closing date so they will be here for the foreseeable future.
Second tip of the day:
Open spaces to get some a/c without waiting in line...Animation bldg and One Man's Dream.

I want that Friday one, badly but there are 5 of us

 

[lovingeire]

If you collect the SW Rebels Heroes and Villains action figures or need items for a SW-themed Easter basket, the 6-piece set is on sale for $19.99 (50% off) @ Target this week. And, I do admit, the only figure I recognize is Vader!

I'll have to check these it as my boys are getting Star Wars/Disney baskets to announce our trip. My middle has just been getting into Rebels. I must admit I'm kind of encouraging it with the trio coming up.

 

[lovingeire]

Are the Star Wars crocs kids or adults sizes?

And I have looked at those Mickey fans a million times but can't remember how much they are. We might get one for our youngest.

Sorry! If it was 4, I'd guess it might work, since three and four would probably get the same size table. But probably not 5.

You can swap it for more meatloaf I love Prime Time it's my favorite restaurant DHS

The fan that attaches to the stroller is $18 as well. They have them in the gift shop outside the park, it's called movieland. Also in the store where you rent the strollers

Thank you so much for checking for me. That definitely helps!

 

[THEDISNEYTHREE]

What kind of things did you trade to them?

I've been buying dollar store items and thinking of making burlap bags to put them in so everyone can carry their own 'stash'.

I remember reading posts last year to find out what they accepted. We went with a barrette, glow bracelet, and candy. I think it was skittles. The barrette and glow bracelet were successful. They refused the skittles. Which was funny. I think dollar store stuff would be perfect. I like your bag idea!

I am letting got of a 6/9/15 6:25pm reservation for Jedi Mickey's Star Wars Dine at Hollywood and Vine Fantasmic 1st Show for 4. Let me know if anyone wants to coordinate.
