Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[BobaFettFan]

Rebels is the most 'star wars' spirited thing since episode 6. I really dig it.

I just want to say thanks to all of you for all of the great tips as usual We will be there for 1 day the first weekend and maybe 1 day for the second I have read every page and most of my questions have been asked even before I knew I had them I do have a question maybe I just missed it but can anyone tell me how long I should plan on the parade lasting? Not sure when I should plan our next fp+

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

I find myself liking Rebels a little more with each watching. I may go see the show just because of that.
I also was useless in my hunt for Stormtrooper bunnies.

no stormtrooper bunnies at our Wal-Mart either. DH works there - I had him check for them daily. We did get a Yoda popcorn bucket!

I loved getting to see him! He was so funny. I did not find Jar Jar as awful as everyone made him out to be.

Thank you to everyone who sent me happy vibes as of late... the pixie dust paid off!

It is OFFICIAL, my BF and I have be officially approved to march for the mouse! We will be in the SWW parade!

Due to technical difficulties however I have not been able to choose my march date, BUT my BF has... and I hope to join him on that date as well. He is signed up for the 1st Saturday of SWW.

I'll keep you all posted when everything is set up!

THANK YOU AGAIN for your warm wishes and pixie dust. This is a dream come true for me!

Next year, we will be bringing on the armor

That is awesome! We are planning on being there that day and will look for you!

 

[Itinkso]

not for 15, ill suffer without but thank you lol

Okay, I'm off to FL a week from tomorrow. If I find the kit, I'll let you know... $14 did you say??

Actually, DD is in a Walmart near the Champions Gate area... she's checking the jello aisle.

I need some feedback regarding my timing and I am sure the wonderful people here can help. I have a 12:30pm d-tech reservation for my boyfriend. Do you think we will have any problems getting to the reservation from the motorcade? Will we have to wait in line to get in to Darth's Mall (that is where it is at, right?) if it is crowded? I'm hopeful we will be able to do the Feel the Force package if they have it this year. Do you think we'll make the 12:30 reservation or should I try to move it back? If I should move it, what time would you recommend? We have FPs for Stars of the Saga that day but nothing between the motorcade and the show other than d-tech.

Also, my boyfriend is the only one doing the d-tech experience but will I be able to watch?

Help is much appreciated!

What are you guys referring to when you say 'Rebels'?

Star Wars Rebels is the new animated series from Disney that airs on Disney XD. It takes place between episodes 3 & 4. It has cameos from OT characters like Vader, tarkin, Lando, and the droids

You will have plenty of time to get to the D-tech timeslot. Have your confirmation info with you and you won't have to wait in line to enter the Mall.

Check it out its a good show. You won't find anyone streaming it like Netflix, but got to the disney xd channel and if your cable had it you should be able to view them. I really liked it. I can't get through season one of the clone wars, but I really liked this . It's a mix of old story telling like episode 4.

Our Easter basket trip reveals are ready to go! Fingers crossed we can time it right to surprise them all at the same time!

For those of you with a Publix nearby, they're selling Jell-O Jigglers mold kits (contains 2 mold trays and 4 boxes of Jell-O - 2 blue/2 red) for just $3.00! The molds have Yoda, Chewie, R2-D2, C-3P0, Stormtrooper and Darth Vader. I couldn't find the exact product online, but below is an example of an image I found of 4 of the 6 molds:

I got the Jello mold at Winn Dixie! Going to break it out for a Stsr Wars movie night!

no stormtrooper bunnies at our Wal-Mart either. DH works there - I had him check for them daily. We did get a Yoda popcorn bucket!

Shoot, I meant to go back for a popcorn bucket today! Middle DH was with me when I saw them!

I asked about the Stormtrooper bunnies. They were in the seasonal food aisle at my stire, not the Easter section.

 

[AThrillingChase]

Cute @lovingeire! I love seeing the videos people take revealing their trip to the kids. It always gets me excited for my trip! But my favorite was where a little girl cried and told her family they weren't going lol.

 

[Ninja Mom]

Well... as long as we are sharing Easter baskets I'll show you my Husband's basket. The Easter Bunny put him on a diet.

This is the list for the Disney Parks Blog. Ashely Eckstein is the host for the mind challenge. She is also listed on this site as being at SWW on this weekend, does anyone know if she is going to be doing autographs this weekend?

Weekend III (May 29 – 31)

• Warwick Davis: Wald, Wicket W. Warrick (Star Wars: The Phantom Menace; Star Wars: Return of the Jedi)
• Daniel Logan: Boba Fett (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones; Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
• Steve Blum: Zeb Orrelios (Star Wars Rebels)

Ashley is at Darth's Mall ALOT signing Her Universe items. Never knew of a set schedule of when she is there.

 

[mexxican]

It's a mostly Minnie basket for my DD while my DS gets the Rebels storybook library and a Stormtrooper brush to go with his superhero basket

 

[Koh1977]

Could be anything, but fingers crossed!

Wasn't that posted on the 3rd? SO...the Star Wars stars that were announced yesterday...?

There was a set schedule. It was in the SWW times guide.

 

[msmama]

Ok, now that the announcement excitement has died down a bit. I know normal weekend crowds are still at HS during SWW To work around, but, if we were to skip the parade, what would be the best thing to do during that time? Also during shows if we are not watching? Do character lines decrease during shows? Would it be beneficial to just wait in a character line during the parade? How long after the parade to the characters resume their meet and greets?

I've seen that one! So funny!

Sweet hat!

Thanks! I stocked up when I was at Disney for Princess 1/2. My husband is totally jealous of the hat! I may have to get him one when we're back at Disney!

One of three kids is up! He hasn't it made it to the breakfast nook where baskets are, which I'm sure the teenager appreciates but it's killing me! I am so inpatient!
