Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I just dropped a group of 6 at 6pm on 5/30 to change to a 6:30, in case anyone is still looking looking...

This thread exploded! I am trying to catch up. We have a H&V, plus the FtF with dessert, so I can't justify RH as well. If it were available for lunch, that would be different. It sounds so cool though, and I look forward to hearing reports and seeing pictures! Glad a lot of people were successful, though it seems with all the trouble getting through initially and finding res, there must be lots of lurkers on this thread!

Target is running the equiv of 20% off today ($10 off $50 of SW), and decent priced Ts. I think we have everything we need, so I am not sure I can justify anything else. May the 4th is getting me really geared up for this part of the trip - Riding ST with Chewie??!!!?!. My sister things I am crazy for hanging out on a board of strangers online to talk about Disney tips, but it has really paid off, and I feel like we are all comrades going into the Guinea Pig Weekend together.

10 more days 'til we are there!

Any thoughts on if it's a good or bad idea to try and squeeze in Character Palooza before my 6:30 RH res?

Also, THANK YOU!!!! to all of the people in this thread for your invaluable information! We decided to go to SWW back in January and all of the character dining options were booked up, so I'm pumped about getting in on the RH experience. Thanks again for everything you people do!!!!

if you hurry you could make it. The characters come out around 6:10, I've met all the characters at palooza in 10 minutes. without autographs.

Just got 6/13 booked via the web at 545 pm

Actually just switched it to 635 so that we can see all of Frank Oz's thing

 

[Koh1977]

just booked it online! 4:30pm on 5/30 That gives us time to check out Characterpalooza if it does indeed happen during SWW this year and go to MK for a while if we want to in the evening.

Was able to book an 8:15 pm for June 12th!!!!!!!!!!

Two questions:

How long does a "Visit to the Maul" last? (Will we have enough time to get to this lounge ressie?)
How much does this thing cost per person (Child and Adult)??

VttM is a 30 min. show so you'll make it in time
Items are by menu $14.99 and under

It's an unadvertised character meet and greet near the exit of ToT. From the store you would walk straight out and there is a gate to your left where the characters will either be or come out from.

TY!!!

that's the cancellation policy., if you don't show and don't cancel at least a day before they will charge $10 per person

Just a question, probably a paranoid one, can one check in and not order something? All our other ADR's throughout our trip are going to be full meals, so I'm not concerned there; but one of our kids might not be hungry shortly after lunch, and we might only need to get two or three items for our family of 5. Does a no-show $10 charge apply for a child that does not order something?

You beat me to it. Saw this in my email and was just coming to post about it.

 

[AThrillingChase]

I was able to switch my ADR for RH to 4:45 so we can make Obi-wan now

However, I was going to book one on May 15th just for a drink, and it is telling me it can't search. I've refreshed a million times I think!

MMMM so I'm wondering if this will leave enough time to get a space for the fireworks??
