Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Teamanderson]

Still looking for a Galactic breakfast on June 5th(preferably) or 6th, before 10am for 4 I won't give up! Lol no notifications from diningbuddy yet. Maybe closer to date when people don't want to pay $10 fees.

that's strange, they might be fixing the glitch

It could be I have conflicts. Not too worried.
That's the weekend DH, DD and I have the DPP. The inlaws probably aren't going to want shows, but they have the PP and get one.

I decided to go back to weekend IV, and switch my Star Tours with SoTS.
If no one wants to go to SoTS we will still probably not have bad waits for ST.

Tell them its cave man themed

Haha!!! Nope, toddlers won't care. Just make up a cool story about it like they said!

That's so strange it's not working for you when it's working for everyone else. What do you see when you try to modify your Tier 1?

Tier 1 comes up with regular non-SW options. I don't know, maybe SW FP+s are gone for that first day? I'm just gonna be content with what we have (FP+ for Rebels, doing Obi-Wan as standby) because I'm about to head out the door to see Age Of Ultron.

Who said about 5 pages back that they were bored at work

Yep that was me! Thanks mde, you wouldn't want my life to be boring, would you?

Are the alcoholic drinks during the PP dessert party free or do you pay for those? I really want to try "The Force"

i took the risk and cancelled everything and rebooked and was able to get TSM and all the shows - awesome!

Quick question for you all: which would be the best of the 4 weekend 2 shows to bring a 2.5 year old girl to? We have the DPFtF on 5/23 for DH to see all the shows and us to join him for fireworks and parade. However, I'd like to do one show, since we have reserved spots and all, but not certain which DD will tolerate best. I'm bringing her snacks no matter what. I had been thinking Warwick Davis' show, because...ewoks! But now I'm not so sure, since I think I saw it could be boring to kids? FWIW, I'm not a huge SW fan ( don't dislike, just not huge fan), but I enjoyed the shows when we went in 2010. I figure 1 show is probably DD's limit, though - trying to choose wisely. If only we were going when Ray Park was there - I think DD and I both would enjoy that (I did in 2010). Thanks for any thoughts!

Not sure if this has been said, but I checked Epcot to see if tiers were down everywhere and they are not.

Looks like just the sww shows. I bet they got messed up when someone added weekend iv.

Was able to get FP for SoTS & Short Story & a TSMM by choosing mqke selections for new day & rescheduling. Thanks everyone! My kids were just asking. Me last night why I look at the Disney boards all day & this is why!

Included And admittedly, pretty much my reason for booking! Just try running out of them on me now HS...

Just tried to change one of my Tier 2s for the first day of the first Friday into a SW show, no luck. It's still only showing the regular Tier 2 options, no SW shows at all.

For those who are managing to make changes, are you cancelling all FP+s and starting again, or are you able to manually change your existing Tier 2 options into SW shows?

I had the same issue.

Haha, I did the same thing! No luck with Epcot.

Is anyone able to book week 5.
On Friday I could only get Visit to the Maul and didn't even see Frank Oz listed.
On Saturday everything says Distribution has ended and it has visit to the maul closed for refurbishment.

 

[lovethattink]

Weekend V peeps
Remember to not schedule any fp on Tier 1 that will conflict with Oz's showtime (5:15pm) it'll be harder to change once the show becomes available, assuming it will be Tier 1

I specifically chose gmr at that time. I Toft itc would be easier to switch tier 1 if at same time?

 

[Tltorrez]

I'm cancelling them and making them as new

For the first weekend? I'm afraid to lose my SotS.

I would recommend watching part of the show on youtube so you can make a more informed decision. For a 3 year old I'm sad to say not much will capture the attention, so you could pick either one. For a "not huge sw fan" I would recommend Obi Wan and Beyond...it's an amazing show and has a great message in the end
