Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

My son too!

I do not see the pools? Am I missing something? Both DS have the Disney Store R2D2 umbrellas, Do you guys think those are big enough for "shade"?

Ha ha ha!!! I meant polos! (Stupid autocorrect!)
Although I would not rule out buying a Star Wars pool!

The umbrellas are small but so cute!

What happened to the little tree and shrub area that was there yesterday? Gone?



Yes. The beautiful view of the Chinese theater is blocked until the end of FSF.



The w/c viewing area in the package area changed a few times between SWW and FSF. Last I saw, it had been moved to the far left of the viewing area for FSF. It started out beside the video cameras.

The first to arrive in the chairs get front row, then it fills in behind with the next set of chairs/ECV. Last year, ds needed a watchful eye on him, so we didn't park in that area and got there early enough to get rope and one of us went beside him and the other behind the chair.

Yes, I guess they put up the temporary stage overnight

We just had to pay to download DisneyInfinity 2.0. It wasn't too much and we didn't need to buy a new game system.

Okay, so this should be approached as a RUMOUR ONLY, because it hasn't been confirmed, and fake Infinity leaks have happened before. But real leaks have also happened under similar circumstances, so we'll see. But for now, I present this image I just accidentally stumbled upon -

Rumours suggest a possible release date of August this year, which makes sense, since the last two Infinity games came out in the summer. I waaaaant it, but I still haven't got all the figures from 2.0, because it ends up being such a pricey commitment. So I'm telling myself I'll wait until Christmas, when the special offers are good. Except we all know I'll cave and buy it on release day! I mean, Ahsoka. AHSOKA!!

For those familiar with the VIP package, would appreciate advice: you can sign up for Jedi Training in advance, and it doesn't have to be the day of your tour. Would we be better off doing it on a different day (we are going to HS one other day on our trip)?

Thanks

FYI...big infinity sale at TRU tomorrow. I'm headed to get guardians set $20 and maybe Lone Ranger for $15.

yes, it would be better to do it another day because it will clear the very limited free time you have with the VIP tour. Also you could pick a morning session and that way the odds of being cancelled because of rain would go down.

I wasn't aware you could do that? Just download it using Xbox live?

Oooh, good tip for everyone, thanks! Unfortunately, I'm in the UK, but I have my fingers crossed I can pick up some figures when we're in the States for cheaper than the current UK price. But if I don't, I'm sure 2.0 figures will drop in price once 3.0 comes out. ,

So if I read this right are you saying I would not be able to be with her in the wheelchair area? And she can't be in the kid's area? If that is the case I may cancel this package as it may just not work for us. She can't be left unattended because of her medical needs, and she's 8.

Oh I'm in for sure, especially since I have to live vicariously through you guys this year. I don't know what I will do between 6/15 and 8/31

 

[Wendydagny]

Wanted to clarify that it's fine.... I don't expect special treatment....I just thought she'd be allowed in the back of the kids area or something. Unfortunately it's not like I can lift her to see if we are unlucky enough to not get a spot on the rope in the general area.

I'm just chiming in while we wait for @lovethattink to answer. But I think your daughter can be with you in the wheelchair area. If you are there early enough she could sit on the floor and you can be behind her in the wheelchair

@Wendydagny I found this video and at sec 20 you can see a little girl sitting in front of the wheelchair
