Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Called this morning for Rebel Lounge. CM said it will be walk up only but IF they decide to add reservations it will be after May 1. Not sure of the significance of May 1?

I hate all the contradicting information. Each castmember seems to have their own version. I'm on the edge of my seat here hoping to be able to experience this, and can't get any straight answers!

unfortunately it's the way Disney has been doing things for a while now, and I don't want to get into a whole debate about it, it just is.
Remember that a lot of phone agents told us, various times, that there wouldn't be a feel the force package this year. We just have to keep waiting.
Maybe May 1st they'll announce it on the DPB, with some information about a special May the Fourth/Revenge of the Fifth merchandise (t shirt and pins, that's all)

Yeah I know. I just felt like complaining. I'm only going mildly insane.

Getting ready to cancel a Galactic Breakfast on May 16th at 10:40 for 3 ppl. If anyone here is interested let me know. I will also post on May cancellation thread.

Thanks!

I need to go to bed!! But first, a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away: my daughter (now 14)

So cute! I was just looking through photos from SWW in 2008 and my now 14 year old looks so little. Cry.

Do you mean the 25th? What time?

Ah yes. I believe 735.

Funny story...I had my first SWW dream last night:
I was at DHS with my DD and we got our spots for the parade and it was completely empty...maybe about 50 people along the parade route and I tell my DD "OMG the people on the DIS are going to think I'm lying to them, look how empty it is" So we watch the parade and I tell her "Let's go get in line to take a picture with Emperor Palpatine " we go to this gazebo sort of looking thing and inside is Mark (for anyone watching the livestream from Celebration he's the african american host that pumps up the people) and he's inside the gazebo and I ask "Hi Mark, are you in line for Palpatine?" he says "No this is a private panel for James Earl Jones, you want to stay?" I said "of course!!" and I woke up

That's a good one, but it reminded me...

Did you go to the villains party last year? Palpatine was available with guards there. Wonder why they don't come out for aww.

Hi everyone! I have a question about arrival times for dining. We have a 8:25 am Galactic Breakfast on the 16th. The park is scheduled to open at 8 am but reading that they may let people in as early as 7:30 am. What's the earliest they will let us in for breakfast and is there a special line for dining or will it won't matter at that point? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to firm up our travel plans since we will be at AKL without a car and want to be on time. Thanks!

DH keeps wanting to call to 'check' for the Rebel Hanger - I keep telling him - "I'm stalking the SWW thread and believe me the 'even more obsessed than I am' people are calling multiple times a day - they have it under control - we are going to ride their coattails and get a reservation as soon as they come out!"

I did do the party last year, and after waiting in Constantine's line for 4 hours (I kid you not) I headed straight for him and he had no line at that point cause the fireworks were about to go off. He did meet during SWW, maybe 5 years ago, but haven't since.
I got Zam Wessel while walking toward him, and then I tried to put on a serious face but I was so excited that I got to meet him that I just had on my goofy smile

the first reservations for breakfast are at 8am. You can check in as early as you want and maybe get seated earlier if someone is running late or doesn't show

Not SWW but I waited so long for this one, and the interaction was great!

 

[Dugette]

Ah yes. I believe 735.

I would love this! Sent you a PM earlier - maybe we can coordinate?
(for anyone else, if I can get this - I'll have a few H&V to drop )

Aaaah you did Constantine! Nice.

We didn't think to be in his line first. But I think we were some of the only people to have a good time at that party.

We did barbossa first (Kenny the pirate was one group behind us for that so I felt smart). Then we got the hyenas and the brers right after. We got palpatine, starlord and gamorra at their dance party and then I for get what we did next... But at the end of the night 15 minutes before fireworks we wandered over to the streets of America and all the characters were out alone because everyone was lined up for fireworks. So in ten minutes we got Gaston, Tremaine's, sheriff of Nottingham, Darth maul, boba fett, bowler hat guy and a few others I forget.

that's amazing!! I had promised my DD, she's a HUGE Muppets fan, that I would get Constantine. She couldn't go cause we could only afford one ticket, so I was determined to wait. Got an awesome video for her when I told Constantine that she couldn't come

I just came to post this!! This has me SUPER excited! We were already planning on a cruise next year so that just made it even better!

Hope this is OK to post here...
Looking for a Jedi Mickey Fantasmic! Dinner for 2 on Sun 5/10 if anyone is looking to unload 1. Fingers crossed, had no idea these were offered before SWWs actually start!

Thanks! When we show up at the park, is there a special entrance for dining?
