Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[coluk003]

this thread is WAY HUGE, did i jut say that. Anyways I hope the people who respond will tage my original post so i know they are talking to me. Old age and all

my question is does anyone know approximately when they announced the dining with the SW characters.

And does anyone remember if there was something you could pay for to watch the parade and 1. was it worth it you, what was offered and was it standing?(im assuming it was standing) and approximately when that was announced?

The SWGeek in me is very excited

Ill leave my original question up BUT the month of May is open to book breakfast with the SW characters right now. Based on the price, 49.99 I think its best to pay for this oout of pocket(OOP) the average table service credit is about 42.00 dollars, give or take a couple of dollars

Thank you for the awesome update letting us know!!!

I'm going to completely change the first post, and I'll just leave confirmed information we have about SWW 2015. I will leave the link to SWW 2014 if anyone wants to see that. That way it'll be less cluttered and information for 2015 will be easier to find

All the dining opened up today, follow the links on the first post or on this page.
The Feel the Force packaged was offered in SWW 2014 and had a reserved spot for the parade and a reserved spot for fireworks with a dessert party included. You can read many reports on this thread about it. I thought it was worth it, the parade viewing was Ok, the kids sit in the front and parents can sit or stand in the back. The desserts were awesome and the view of the fireworks was ok but I'm thinking it'll be better next years since the Hat won't be there

 

[lovethattink]

I've been on the phone since 7 about the Feel the Force. Something is showing up but she is blocked from booking anything. She keeps trying different ways to book. So far a no-go for today.

YES! first weekend here we come! Guess we'll be the guinea pigs again this year

 

[jennab113]

Yay! I just reserved breakfast and dinner for both weekends I'm planning to be there (1 and 3). I'll probably end up doing the breakfast one weekend and the dinner another, but until Feel the Force and the VIP stuff are announced, I wanted options.

We are leaving for Disney on the 12th, and I'm certain that the meals will open/be announced while we're there. I guess I can get the resort concierge to make our ADRs, right?

Also, I somehow need to explain to my husband that even though we leave for Disney in 11 days, I need to book another trip (the SWW trip) this weekend.

I would not wait for resort concierge to make the ADRs, even my Club level IPO staff has admitted we fans hear about the meals long before they do. And last year those sold out very quickly! Even with the limited announcements of them!

I told AKL CL IPO staff that I wouldn't be waiting for them to tell me about those opportunities that I would book them myself. And If I heard about them before they did I would tell them, and they seemed most appreciate!

I already have all my other ADRs booked for our trip because we are paste the 180 day mark! My IPO office made those reservations weeks ago now for me.

Are you arriving May 12th, am I getting that right? Are you a Club Level guest? If not you should make those reservations for yourself right now! And if you are a Club Level guest you should already have your IPO staff making those reservations.

WOOT WOOT

I got my Star Wars H&V Dinner for May 15th at 6pm

AND

My Star Wars Breakfast at Scifi dinner for May 23rd at 8 am!

Now I need to call the Club Level IPO staff and let them know I booked it as well as book my La Nuba tickets cause SWW is on Baby


I'm doing the happy dance, I am doing the happy dance... and people at work think I have lost my blessed mind! BUT I DON'T CARE

I booked breakfast for 5/16 at 8am. Didn't book dinner cause I'm $$ limited and I am waiting for the Feel the Force package.

AWESOME!

I am also waiting to see about the Feel the Force packages... but to be honest not sure how to handle that since we are probably going to be in the parades but love the desert party for the fireworks!

If we had breakfast at 9:10am at the Sci Fi Diner, could we see the 11am parade? I didn't want the breakfast too early, because we want to register the kids for the Jedi Training Academy before breakfast. What do you think?

 

[yulilin3]

it reflects the dates as announced.

It's on... 5 GLORIOUS Star Wars Weekends, I am so excited for those people who wanted that 5th weekend.

I guess Disney realized if they do it, we will come
