ARGH - They updated the phone software at work and I had to rework it to get long distance calling going (my cell phone has a 10% charge and no way it'll last out a reservation call ) - In the queue now 13 minutes.

(It's special dining events... right? Tell me I'm right... )

the $99 package lets you march in the motorcade

I got through but he wasn't able to book and now I called back and I am on hold again. He told me that the $99 package includes Walking at back of parade and closer seating, as well as reserved seats at all celebrity talk shows plus Darth's mall It also includes the dessert party plus fireworks.

How's being able to march in the parade going to work? And that kind of defeats the point of viewing the parade. hmmm...

Dlx - std plus all shows fp plus priority access to darths mall.

Std - parade viewing, dessert party/adult bevs inc, fireworks viewing, one fp to show picked at check in

just booked delux premumim........ parade viewing with VIP.... passes to all shows..direct access to darths mall all day and desert party and at night.......$99 adult I think $69 for kids.....

just booked!!! Sunday, May 17.

Premium Package for $69 includes chance to book one (1) of the shows when at the park. CM was rather vague how that would work.

Deluxe Package was $99, includes all the shows

went with the premium pkg ($139 for 2 adults) other than the rebel one (no interest) only two other shows that day and already holding a FP to the talk show one. Was thinking i'd use the pkg's one show booking for the later Obi wan one.

I was told about two packages two. She told me both included a show. The more expensive she said included being able to walk at the end of the motorcade and express entrance to Darth's mall.

I got ours!! 10 minute wait.

They told me for the standard option, that when you check in at min and bills at 10 am you would get to sign up for one show that day and it would be at a first come basis, so I guess they have a limited number of spots for each show to choose from. That was for the $69 option

Some confusing info. However, this puts things for sww in a different perspective. And gives us a clearer idea of what to expect for day guests who have no FP+, no package.

These new packages look better than the VIP and GG. We booked GG because of the express entry to Darth's Mall each day.

Still on the fence on the premium...for a family of 5 (1 kid price)...and also on the day. We have option of June 5,6 and 12...but on the 12th we are offsite so not sure about the alcohol drinks -although that may be better for a show to be reserved!!

thanks all!! we got ours for Sunday 6/7 - Feel the Force deluxe package.

helpful CM who was SW savvy (asked if that we the weekend that Frank Oz would be there).

I got the same details as everyone else, and it is already showing in MDE itinerary.
She said all the details would be on the WDW website soon.

thanks so much for the heads up!!!

I have a question I have booked the deluxe premium package on 22nd May
However, on that day there are 4 special shows (including Wickets Journey) - so will the deluxe cover access to all those (as I heard only 3 show access mentioned)

 

[Arich01]

I just want to say thank you so much for all of your help Yulilin and everyone else on this board! I've been stalking the board and I think my son is going to have the best vacation! Just booked the Premium Package for June 6 You all are the best!

the (even if remote) chance of having seating for the FW as mentioned in earlier post re alternate check in site for premium (near brown derby vs echo lake for the deluxe) is enough to have me back on hold

some things never change:

MGM = Mouse Got MyMoney lol

Is the age for adults 21 and kids under 21 since alcohol is included and no one under 21 could take advantage of it. I would think the price would be cheaper for them

 

[KKBDisMom]

Wahoo!! Got the Premium Package for May 15th! Thanks for the heads up everyone!

 

[volfan1978]

Congrats to everyone who's getting in on this, and thanks to those who are sharing all the information.

Doing the happy dance in my seat at work!! Booked Deluxe Premium on 5/15 as birthday surprise for hubby!! Thanks all for the awesome info!!!!

 

[lovethattink]

Is the age for adults 21 and kids below since alcohol is included and no one under 21 could take advantage of it. I would think the price would be cheaper for them

10 and up are adults.

That's a very small part of what the package offers, and certainly wouldn't be the reason to book it.
