Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

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.

@yulilin3 What information are you referring to? New Menu perhaps?

yes, they are making decisions right now to keep the menu or add some things. It looks like Vader waffles will be available this year and they might take away the dessert

Photo question - Are there any special SWW Magic Shots?

I think there's a fighting Darth Vader near Star Tours right? Anything else?

last year they had them on Streets of America.
The one by ST tends to move because that area is so busy.
They had the fighting Vader and also doing the force push on Vader or Stormtroopers

great site to look at some magic shots. Toward the middle of this page you can see the 2 options

. 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.

If you have internet on your phone go to disney website via internet website, app is awful but you can access your MDE via the disney website on your phone and it works just like home. I did this on my phone for the Oz and maul FP Maybe do it real quick to be sure you get one via a "bathroom break" lol

So, hair chat. I have a Leia shirt, so I'm thinking Leia braids, but I have only med length hair. Any suggestions? If I can't come up with something, I may chop it off, lol. I've tried a few things and its just been weird.

PS, bonus if it is easy enough for me to do to myself or have my husband do it. Otherwise perhaps I'll get lucky and a Guinea Pig will braid my hair while waiting for the parade

Mine is too short to do anything with so I went with a bun wig. Hopefully it won't be too hot.

Hello all. I'm new to this site but have been lurking for weeks. Our friends invited us along on their WDW trip, which happened to be during SWW! We have been before, but not for years, and there are so many new offerings. I've learned so much and just wanted to say many thanks to all of you who have been so generous with time and advice in this thread.

I'm obviously bored...just googled "Star Wars Weekends 2015" and look what I found. A closer look at the merchandise

Oh noes! That is just a tiny bit, and I am already spending too much money. I love that Vader picture frame, and it is $27! Oh my poor wallet...

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

I've also seen in magazines and on websites where you can make your own out of a sock, but I have never tried. I bet Beauty Brands would have it, too.

I got this in an email from Toys-R-Us today. For anyone with kids. We will definitely be at our local store on Sunday.

Here is the link for more information.

Thanks for sharing! I know Lego Store has an event as well. Their's is the 2-4, but I don't know if they will have any freebies. If they do, I highly suggest any interested parties go as early on the 2nd as possible.

Man, we are going to be so busy this weekend...SW event at Legoland Discovery Center, a visit to the Lego Store and TRU, a visit to a Hoops & YoYo event at Hallmark, Avengers movie.

And, I am clearly going to need some Tums during my Disney visit and a personal trainer after.

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.

I have Oz at 4:50, Toy at 6, and I had Star Tours at 7;15 but I am going to cancel that and see if I can see a Maul. I just get SoTS and Rebels as an option. Maul is a tier 2 right?

FP return window for Maul is 635-650. Move your TSMM FP and you should then be able to see it.

Yes, move TSMM and ST to different times and that should open up Maul. MDE doesn't allow overlap of FP.

I have designated May as a clean eating month for me, in preparation for all the garbage that I anticipate shoving into my gaping maw in June.

Out of curiosity, I'd still do the chat, pretending like you haven't fixed your issue, just to see what advice they give you. I'd give it a 75% chance the agent wouldn't know how to fix the issue.

Those are awesome!!! How do they fit? I am usually in between a M or a L, depending on if they run large or small.
