Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Very cool! Will her school allow different colored hair or will it wash out?

It's the washable kind. She's still in MS so the dress code doesn't allow "unnatural" hair color.

Is there anyone that has used Touring Plans for SWWs before? Will they put the actual shows in at some point or is there a better way than listing them as breaks? Also will they update the parade time do you think? Its hard to play with the schedule without being able to get them in.

The shows are in there now under Star Wars Presentation or something like that. I already complained about the parade time last week. But it wouldn't hurt to prod them again.

Oooooh!!! Thanks @markmcalear and @BrittneyMarie for the heads up. I assume this is only for BoG, not for other ADRs? Any idea how it will handle allergies? I'm a guinea pig, so (if my counter is right), I am:

• 32 days from flying out
• 3 days from BoG ADR food ordering, apparently
• 34 days from SWW
• 35 days from Epcot, and
• 36 days from cruise!

From what I saw, most of the items have the ability to remove various components (e.g., cheese). But when you check in they will confirm your order and you can discuss any additional issues then.

Are the Symphony in the Stars fireworks an alternative to Fantasmic, or are we supposed to try and see both?

EDIT: Sorry. I just refreshed my page and saw the answer to this exact question above!

I'm using it now to plan our trip. If you click on "add attraction" and scroll down to the bottom of the list of attractions, several of the SWW events are listed there.

Alright. My work is done. Steph just has to finish one of the guns. Taking into consideration this is the first time we have ever done anything like this I'm very proud. I did the gun/holster. Stephanie did the entire armor, she made her own spray gun (she didn't want to buy it),the commlink and painted everything
I present Steph Wren, if you see her she is more than happy to take pictures, she really wants people to approach her while wearing it. When you click on the link it should go automatically to "most recent"

That's awesome!!

Is the "Celebrity Motorcade" the same thing as the "Legends of the Force Motorcade Parade"?

Steph looks awesome, @yulilin3! I'm impressed! She'll be a hit at SWW.

Same

I was looking for each of the shows to be individually listed. What I figured out is if you select Star Wars Presentation as many times as you are seeing shows and optimize, it will put them into the right slots. It works but it would be nicer if each show was listed individually.

Yes, except they still have the old time listed. It's at 11:00am this year.

I agree. Though it's still better than using a bazillion different breaks.

I always use TP to plan my trips but it would be a whole lot easier to use if you could tell the system that you want to line up early for a show or parade. My often end up with more breaks than attractions.

Does anybody else find it odd that for weekend V the Beauty and the Beast shows are missing from the calendar? They announced that by Frozen Summer Fun the sing along would be in the new Hyperion theater. Frozen Summer fun starts 3 days after weekend V ends. I keep wondering if the SW shows will be in the Premier theater that weekend or maybe there will be a morning show. I find it strange that Beauty and the Beast is missing from the calendar. I can't book my FP until tonight so I don't know if BntB is a FP option that weekend.

No, no one knows. Someone created a fb group to recieve alerts when they go live. Can't get the link right now but it's a couple of pages back

 

[magicwishes]

Can you get fastpass plus for any of the shows?
