Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[db99]

So I think I remember them saying "check out the "Rebel Hangar/Cantina/Backlot" thing on the 1st WINK WINK" earlier? I'm thinking about staying up that Thursday night and calling in the morning, but have they rolled something out on a Friday before?

It would seem to be odd given that contact centers typically have lower planned staffing and higher rates of callouts on Fridays than a day in the middle of the week. But hey, this is Disney, so anything could happen, I guess!

Thinking of getting this to have signed by characters (and one of the contributing authors since she's there as well). Thoughts?

Thanks to @pookadoo77 I designed my own Chopper magic band. Well, I guess my boyfriend mostly did it. But I told him how to design it.



I am pretty pleased with it. Chopper is on one side of the mickey head and Star Wars Rebels is on the other.

awesome! Pics please when it comes in

Morning everyone I have been following this thread and I'm grateful for all the information. I think I have everything I want nailed down except for the Visit to the Maul on 6/12. I never did see a Fastpass for that and just want to be sure I am not doing something wrong. Did I read we have to sign up for that in the morning? Can someone point me in the right direction because I think my DH would love to see the show!

I got a visit to the maul fp for 6/12, it should be there. check tier 2 and make sure you have the times for the show free fp wise, it is once daily and only fri that weekend I believe. 1st page should list time. My fp says arrive 6:35-6:50. good luck!

weekend V it'll only be performed on Friday. Like the PP said check your Tier 2 and see if you don't have anything conflicting with the time of the show.
The sign ups in the morning are only for the kids that want to be a part of his show.

The only thing to consider would be the weight of the book. Other than that it's a cool idea. If you are using it for the characters remember to bring different colored sharpies for the signature to come thru , since some of the pictures will have black clothing or background

DPB is known for dumping important information late in Friday, assuming people are getting ready for the weekend and not checking...I'm calling in 2 minutes let you guys know

I just got this in the mail yesterday. Really great book! But it is definitely pretty heavy to be lugging around DHS.

I didn't even know this was a thing. What kid of local store can I get it at? Walmart?

Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, local Beauty supply like Sally's.... They all have them and in different colors to help match hair.

It defiantly helps give more to your hair so the buns really show up!

. Thank you! I will try that later at home. I can't get the Disney app on my phone to let me cancel the Star Tours I have in that time frame and I don't see Maul as an option. I see SoTS and Rebels.

I think all the SWW shows on weekend V are Tier 2 so you can only pick 2? I'm not sure.

Any requests for TBT? Characters, celebrities, food?

I hope to have some information on the Galactic Breakfast today. Executives are enjoying it right now. Hopefully we'll know about any changes to the menu.

how many sw shows have you picked already? You might want to charge star tours to an odd time like 11am, then try to change it. That's worked for me.

Oh good! I still haven't canceled. Still on the fence. Want the experience, but the PRICE!
