Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Oh wow! So exciting for you and your family! You are going to have a blast!!! Hubby and I took our first cruise on the Magic back in February and LOVED it! Can't wait to go back- we booked the SW cruise while on the boat, lol

It started with the cruise and grew from there. I can see how easy it is to get all wrapped up!

The Jeti breakfast with Mickey is full. What are the chance of them taking walk ups?

got behind the force star wars rebels....return time 1:20..........

First, I decided to go to WDW about a month ago and have been lurking on this thread ever since. So, thank you to everyone, particularly yulilin3, who has provided helpful information. As a result of this thread, I've scored some awesome dining reservations and the premium FtF package.

For those of you who have FP+ for Behind the Force, what is the range of your return time? mmafan indicated a return time of 1:20, but I wasn't certain whether that was the beginning or end of the range.

My issue: DS6 wants to do the H&V lunch with Disney Junior characters, so I have a 12:30 reservation for that. I think he'd enjoy Behind the Force, but I'm not certain whether there's enough time to do both, particularly if H&V is running behind.

I'd say pretty much zero.

And there is no Jedi breakfast with Mickey. There is a Galactic Breakfast but Mickey isn't there. There is a H&V Buffet Jedi meal with Mickey but it's dinner, not breakfast.

Updated for anyone who might be interested... Feel like I need more details on the VIP pkg now!!

Spreadsheet shows seating for deluxe dessert party & fireworks viewing. From what I am noting there will be NO seating at the dessert party for anyone. but then Disney is all mucked up information-wise. Not so sure on whether the deluxe guests should be expecting chairs.

Check regularly and you might find a ressie. In addition to checking Disney's site, keep an eye in this thread and the cancellation thread for your month. You can find that in the Restaurants forum. You never know what can happen over the next several weeks!

You could try and check in earlier for your lunch. It's about a 5 to 10 min walk to the Theater of the Stars so if your're out by 1:15pm you should be fine. You don't have a fp for it already?

make sure to check in with the Roll Call thread, there are times for meets posted there. It's always fun to meet people in person who you've interacted for months and months

 

[yulilin3]

And now the only thing left to announce is the schedule for Weekend V and the merchandise that will be offered. I think I can safely close the Disney Parks Blog tab

 

[lovingeire]

If anyone is planning to cancel their Deluxe Premium package for Saturday, June 13th, I'm looking to snag a rezzie for that day. I have the Premium package booked, but am looking to upgrade. Thanks in advance!

 

[AThrillingChase]

Ok now that I have the premium package booked I am trying to schedule our plans - including having to line up at 9:30-9:45 to get the SOTS ticket. If we take a bus at 6:45 to HS, line up on the (right or left side is better for this??), watch the opening show, and then take the instructions given here to proceed past abc commissary to the line up for Chewbacca, how long do we think this would take? Also, any thoughts on when the line for ST will move past say 30 min wait?

From park opening to you meeting Chewie? if Chewie comes out at 8am and you are one of the first families you should be done by 8:30am. ST will not have a significant line until about 9:30am
When you enter you can stay toward the center of Hollywood Blvd so as soon as they let us in you can just walk straight and make a left toward ABC Commisary

 

[yulilin3]

I'm doing the Chewie first fast walk on the first Friday

 

[yulilin3]

So is anyone planning on getting celeb autographs?? who are you excited to meet?
We are doing Tiya Sircar on the first Sunday, that's the day my daughter will debut her Sabine Wren cosplay so we want a picture with Tiya. Not sure if we'll do all of the Rebels with her wearing her costume.
Everyone else that's signing autographs we have met before so no real priority
