Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I was thinking the same. They renamed the MK dessert party to the Wishes dessert party. It could be called the Symphony dessert party.

 

[Skywise]

I agree... It's gonna be called
Rout the Rebels!
or
Selebrate the Sith!
or
R2 and C3PO's Frozen Holiday Adventure!

I agree that it sounds like the "big announcement" will be a re-do of FtF.

I, too, was told that the VIP tour dessert party would be "semi-private." Since the VIP tour is only a max of 40 people I can't see Disney doing dessert for ONLY that, especially when they can make lots more money!!

Characters at the dessert party would be AWESOME!! They could totally be there as they have to do a show right after, right?!?!

Please treat this as RUMOR until Disney confirms:
The celebrities will be signing autographs inside the old audition facilities for American Idol Experience.

Makes more sense then the outdoor weather sensitive signing spots.

So I was just re-reading the info for the VIP tour:

• Private VIP Viewing of the Legends of the Force Motorcade - NEW
• Access to the VIP Dessert Party

Wondering if this means the New, private parade viewing is VIP only but the dessert party access would be included with another package (as it's not saying "private").

Semantics.....I know, but one can hope? Better than thinking they aren't doing anything at all!

Um what other thread?

That would be here. Fair warning, it is up to 164 pages!

Hmmm...Also, something to note...Did FPs this morning and the Frozen Sing a Long is not available after May 31st. Thought it was only going to go dark for a day (if that), but it seems to have changed...going to have to squeeze it in on one of our SWW days then... :-/

True, especially since Disney is paying them to be doing it. And it sure makes for better customer service for all of the people who waited in line to get FPs in the morning.

The Dibb is showing it unavailable for the first 2 weeks of June. Might be getting an overhaul before FSF?

I think it is an overhaul and I believe it is supposed to move spots so there is more room.

The e-mail the VIP guy sent me on Saturday said

Haha, well apparently if there is one thing that Disney is consistently good at, it is inconsistency!

And for the parade does it say "private"?

 

[yulilin3]

It sounds like the "new package" will just be a dessert party no parade viewing.

 

[jennab113]

It does. Here's everything it said:

At least DPB is full of more helpful information this morning. Did you know it was a bright day at Blizzard Beach?

The Dibb site is showing the Frozen Sing Along will be dark through at least June 14th... the closing appears to expand each day so do plan accordingly if you need to work the Sing Along into your schedule:

I wonder if there will be "new, exciting" price to go with it! Haha!

Speaking of desserts...ODS and I have Jedi Mickey Friday night. It is at 7:10, so we should have good time to find a spot for the fireworks. To help fill the waiting, does anyone know if we can take a few desserts to-go rather than eating them at H&V? I wasn't sure since it is a buffet. The plan may be irrelevant anyway, since asking my 6yo to wait for dessert will likely be akin to asking a Storm Trooper to actually hit a target.

 

[slaveone]

I wonder if Disney will someday resurrect wookie life day. After all if such an event had never been we wouldn't of met Boba Fett until he went after Han.
Don't mind me I am bored and my head is full of weird things Disney could announce.

Guaranteed Access to Jedi Training Academy for the little Padawan’s in your party - NEW

How little?

I know it might be sold out already, but if not I'm still thinking of getting it for just DH, DD and myself. DD is too old and wouldn't want to do it, but my nephew who is
with us will be 11 (turning 12 later in the week). If they'd let him do it in my daughter's place that would be cool.
