Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

got it... dissers take oz

We are in the same boat. Watching DHS schedule in one tab while f5'ing this thread throughout the day. Fastpass goes live for us this Saturday but I believe it starts at 1am. (Looking at this thread for FP+ times) Good luck on your fastpasses!

I feel you. My window opens Friday at 1am. Still trying to nail down selections..... SO stressful!!

A really inexpensive way is to stop by the cart that has the I'm Celebrating buttons and write "SWW Guinea Pig" or something pertaining to the thread. Cheap, supplied by Disney, and easy to obtain.

As a joke, for one visit to the parks I picked up an "I'm Celebrating!" button at guest services and had the CM write on it "Recently Paroled". The looks I got from the CM's that bothered to read it were priceless...

I also will be doing the running of the "SWW geeks" to get to Chewbacca first thing on Friday morning. Perhaps we can all post a picture of our SWW t-shirts/outfits for that day.

I wonder how many Dissers will be in line for Chewie that first morning?? I'm tempted to just call out "Where the Dissers at?" and my DD will have a heart attack (moooom you're to old to talk like that!!)

We'll be in line for Chewie first thing that First Friday morning! Last year we were 3rd in line that first day - the 2 sets of people that 'beat' us were also Disers!

Does anyone remember when the Chipawoks (Chip and Dale) came out ? I think it was around 8:15 (or so I heard from someone). Trying to get them in early this year.

Last year we did Chewie then tried for Darth Maul but he didn't come out until 9 - we ended up bailing on him and seeing Padma and then Maul and then the Jedi Council then the parade and I'm not sure what. 2nd day we did Darth Vader first thing (first in line) and then it's all a blur.

We need to take a group picture of all of us waiting for Chewie. The Chipwoks came out at 9 if remembering correctly.
Just checked...it was 9http://www.easywdw.com/worth-2/star-wars-weekends-2014-strategy-characters-hoopla-crowds-merchandise-etc/

So glad I am not alone in writing odd things on those buttons. Same with the anniversary ones when they had those.

 

[tinkerpea]

This princess will be in line as he's one of few I know who the heck is. I'm up for button wearing, thinking of getting some chewy mouse ears

 

[mmafan]

might take some extreme convincing to get my better half to wear it, let alone explain it LOL, but sorely tempted to order.

somebody mentioned a button, is there a crafty way to make your own?

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lvstitch]

Dare I ask the fastest way to get to Chewie?

 

[mmafan]

Is it wrong to turn an r2d2 suitcase into a rolling bar? Hehe.

nope.......

I'm going to Disneyland this weekend, think I'll be looking for a Chewbacca shirt.

I find it very frustrating that the SW ears are all hats. I haaaate wearing hats. But if they made me some in a headband I'd be all over it!

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 think it was the beginning......

Walk straight down Hollywood Blvd make a left onto Commissary lane, pass. ABC Commissary and you'll see the end of the line

 

[yulilin3]

what time shall we be arriving.....

I think we will all be arriving at the same time, right before 8am.

 

[jennab113]

I will also be doing the Chewy Dash the first Friday. I need to start figuring out a plan for the rest of the characters!

 

[Monykalyn]

It's your thread, yulilin...you can yell if you want to!

After you decide on names/slogans, I'll add it to the Roll Call for you.

I am in the Phantom Dissers group! And hopefully the Dissers take Oz (friday) group-if I haven't driven rest of family crazy by then. Very jealous of the Guinea pig dissers too-hoping there is lots and lots of pictures posted!!

 

[Monykalyn]

couldn't resist...
