Eeeee, these look amazing! I was kind of wondering if Ahsoka would just be an occassional cameo, but it really looks like she's going to become a driving force on the show, I'm so happy!

I just read on the Her Universe fb page that the lightsaber skirt is sold out, not sure if she had separate stock for SWW or not.
Also just called Disney Dinning, they will have concrete information after May 1st but it looks like it will be a walk up...and we keep on waiting
Also, for AP and out of site people you can book your fp for Friday May 22nd today, it looks like everything is available

Children under three still need to be included on a reservation, because they must be included in headcount for restaurant capacity.

Ah, didn't know, but totally makes sense! Seems like everything being pre-planned is tied to park tickets, so wasn't sure how ADR's were handled. Thanks!

If anyone is looking for a Galactic Breakfast on 6/5 I've gotten a notification for a 10:25 for a party of 5.

I think she does. From the blog:

Fans who cannot make it to Star Wars Celebration this year will find most items from the new Her Universe Star Wars fashion collection available online the weekend of Celebration at www.heruniverse.com and later at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends in Orlando, FL.

Ok, have another question. I booked a Galactic breakfast even though it was for less people (thinking maybe I'll just send DH with the older two boys if we don't get a reservation for all 5 between now and the trip). Anyway, I'm confused by the confirmation email with regard to the dining plan.

At the top it is labeled "Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast! at Sci-Fi - 2 DDP Entitlements", which I assumed meant it would use 2 table serve credits. (I also thought the SSW character meals were listed on the Disney Dining plan pdf of where you can use your credits.)

But then further down in the email under the Dining Plans Accepted section, there's this chart:
2015 Disney Dining Plans Entitlements Required
Breakfast
Quick Service -
Dining -
Deluxe Dining -
Premium Dining 1
Platinum Dining 1

And then there's this towards the bottom:
Restriction / Requirement
- If applicable, location requires 2 Table Service meals for Disney Dining Plan

It seems they're contradicting themselves... so, for those of you who have done the breakfast, do they actually let you use your dining plan credits or not?? I'm just trying to figure out whether I should save some of our credits for this, or whether we'll need to pay for it separately out of pocket. Thanks!!

its only 1 credit if on premium or platinum which are fairly unuasual plans i believe.

You can use your credits.

Not sure if anyone is looking for a single or to add an extra person, but there was a Feel the Force Premium Package available for 1 person on 6/12 at 10:00am when I just looked at Disney's Dining page.

 

[momofallsons]

You can use your credits.

Ok, great! I was worried because on the other dining confirmation emails I've gotten, they had dashes used for the plans where you couldn't use those credits.

You may use any dining plan that include Table Serve Credits. This meal uses 2 credits per person under the Dining Plus Plan (regular) or the Deluxe dining plan.

small update on Sci Fi breakfast, this comes from a reliable source:
there will be an allergy friendly menu for those with gluten and nut allergies.
Darth Vader waffles will be on the menu
The pastry plate is changing and will have 6 pastries
All guests will receive a light saber (Waiting on confirmation to see if it's the same paper lightsabers that people received last year at Jedi Mickey's Dinner or an actual lightsaber)

Darth Vader waffles=awesomesauce! I'm pretty sure that's what my middle will be having for breakfast! Can't wait to hear more about the lightsabers, but either way the kids will have fun with them!

It looks like you will get a real lightsaber (one per reservation)

 

[aggiejnny]

These make me soooo incredibly happy!

How exciting!!

 

[Felipe4]

YUSSSSSSS. We're still going to build a light saber, but this means I GET TO KEEP THIS ONE.

no sorry. If they open the schedule and fp the same way they did weekend 1 (5 weeks before weekend I) it will be next Friday. I'm not sure if DIsney, after getting all the complaints from AP holders will actually wait for the 30 day mark
