Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[kennythepirate]

I think I love @kennythepirate even more than before! I recently signed up for his character locater - got an e-mail today that he has now got touring plans on the site. So I'm poking around on there and he has Star Wars Weekend touring plans! Only error I've seen so far is he has Jedi Mickey etc in Darth's Mall and from what I've read they'll be back near Great Movie Ride not in the Mall. I'm having fun looking at it - nice to have something else SWW to do besides stalk the Rebel Hanger for an ADR!

edit found another error he has the Jedi Council on Streets of America rather than in the old Pirates area... I think he did the list/ touring plan but hasn't changed the character locations yet....still love him!

Not an error. New locations haven't been offiically announced. It will update when that happens.

@kennythepirate check out this link. It needs to be expanded to see.

Not a problem I placed a note there to eliminate confusion.

Thanks, but that's a little to vague to be really helpful. Seems like a lot more moving around though.

I'm hoping Rebels characters will be in Darth's Mall. Call me a dreamer. If not there than somewhere for a m&g.

I found these in the supermarket to trade with the Jawas. I'm hoping some kid will get them and be really happy.

Jawaese = the Jawa language
"Utinni!"
―A commonly used Jawa expression = Wow, Battle cry, Alert to other jawas, Come here.

Mob un loo? = How much?

Yukusu kenza keena. = Let's make a deal.

Dooka = Junk.

Ushabia namba kee koolee? = Does it have air-conditioning? (This one made me laugh!)

More phrases can be found here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jawaese

I can't imagine that the poor CM's who are "Friends" of the Jawas would actually SPEAK Jawaese but it might be fun to scream Utinni at them and see what happens.

Question about the VIP tour email today. In the section " you don't have to reply to this message" the last note stated that we will not begin the tour with shopping but at breakfast? So we arrive almost 2 hours before breakfast and only have one M&G? I thought we were to shop before the gates opened.

I broke down and ordered some SW shirts for myself.

I liked this shirt, but once I realized it glows in the dark, I had to have it.

I couldn't resist this one. It may be trying to dig on Disney owning SW, but I still like it, even though I think they are doing a good job. It's called Winnie the Hutt.

This one has nothing to do with SW, but I love it.

This is a really cool sticker. It didn't look as good as a shirt though.

I loved this one too. All of my favorites.

This is for DS. I think he'll love it.

EDIT: The pics turned out really big. Sorry about that.

Using my ancient computer I was able to find a cached version of the starwars.com story, hopefully the photos show up as well.

Guests attending Star Wars Weekends will be able to find shelter
and sustenance in the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience. You
never know who you’ll find lurking in the abandoned starship
hangar — located in a galaxy far, far away. Reports have been made
that this location was once a known hangout of Rebel pilots, aliens, bounty
hunters, and smugglers; with the immersive environment and stellar
bites — I understand why!


Look for a menu full of Star Wars-themed food and beverage
offerings that are out of this world:

· Galactic Garlic/Parmesan Fries – These are
tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley with a garlic aioli for dipping

· Padmé Amidala Naboo Salad – seared chicken
breast, bibb lettuce, grape tomatoes, watermelon radish, almond frica, and a
parmesan-peppercorn ranch dressing

· Lightsaber Bites – hand-dipped corn-battered
knockwurst sausages with house-made chips and mustard dipping sauce

· Chicken and Darth Vader Waffles served with
maple syrup and sweet barbecue sauce

· Trio of Thermal Detonators – spicy pork wings
topped with spicy piquillo-pepper sauce and slaw

· Slider Sampler featuring “The Sith”
barbecue-braised brisket with cole slaw and “The Jedi” with barbecued pulled
chicken with arugula.

· Fruit and Cheese “Sabers” featuring Tillamook
cheddar, Brie, goat cheese, pickled vegetables, crostini, cheddar crackers,
blueberries, raspberries, honeydew melon, strawberry, olives and gherkins

· Darth Maul Hummus with red pepper coulis, black
sesame dust, and corn tortilla chips

· Yoda Key Lime Cake

· Trio of Star Wars Mini Cupcakes,
including Darth Vader (chocolate-peanut butter), Yoda (chocolate-hazelnut), and
Jabba the Hutt (salted caramel latte) served in the Han Solo Carbonite Souvenir
Box


A new drink menu will also be available:

· Imperial Blue – Maker’s Mark Whiskey,
Cointreau, Blue Curacao, sweet and sour, topped with Sprite

· Tatooine Sunset – Stoli vanilla, Parrot Bay
Coconut Rum, pineapple juice with grenadine

· Rebel Red – Grey Goose vodka, Chambord, sour
mix and a splash of grenadine

· Dagobah Swamp Juice – Midori, Tito’s Handmade Vodka,
sweet and sour, topped with lemon-lime foam

· The Dark Side – Stoli vanilla vodka, Bailey’s
liqueur, crème de cocoa and brownie garnish

· Alderaan Ale


The Jabba the Hutt and Yoda cupcakes will also be available at Tusken Fridge
Raiders, Trolley Car Café, Starring Rolls Cafe, and Backlot Express. The Darth
Vader cupcake will be available at all quick-service locations, including
Starring Rolls Cafe, and Trolley Car Cafe and Tusken Fridge Raiders at Darth’s
Mall.


In addition to the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience,
guests can also make reservations for Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at
Hollywood & Vine and Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast! At Sci-Fi
Dine-In Theater Restaurant. For reservations, visit DisneyWorld.com/dine or call
407-WDW-DINE.


May the food be with you!

I think it's saying that if you are going to skip shopping and the M&G and go straight to breakfast, then you need to respond to the email. Otherwise, the normal procedure will be to meet before the park opens, shop, M&G, and then go to breakfast about when the park opens.

The C3PO cheddar crackers were made with the C3PO cookie cutter from Williams Sonoma. I don't know if anyone else sold them too. I have them and recognized it. I hadn't thought of making crackers or anything savory with them.

The pics didn't show up

It looks like DisneyXD is going to show the entire first season of Rebels on Monday, 5/4. The episodes are not marked in our Tivo guide, but there was the right number, and they were playing back-to-back starting in the morning. Another chance to get them if you haven't.

Ok newbie here and I can't figure out how to post photos I have saved, it keeps wanting URL.

Oh well, after midnight, I will see if I can figure it out when my brain has had more sleep

I always drag and drop, i think that might be the only way.

I think you have to have 10 posts before you can post photos. 3 more and it should work.
