Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

6 days until we get on a plane bound for 2 weekends of SWW (not to mention that the splurge of staying at BC because of their awesome pool) and as soon as he finished getting dressed, my 7 year old and I are heading off to the doctor to make sure he didn't fracture his arm yesterday being stupid.

Wish us luck.

Eek! Good luck!!

@msmama , sure hope he didn't fracture his arm!

I'm going to try and read back all the pages I missed in the half of a day I didn't check
If anyone asked something and another posted didn't already answer please ask again.
I still haven't read the specifics on GG so I'm going to that post first...I did see the 2 different sides of Darth's Mall, won't give an opinion until we get first hand account on how that's working. At first I thought that it was going to be a pain to have to check out 2 times, once if it's a collectible you're searching for and second if it's just general merchandise.
But it might help with the lines to get inside since it looks like you can chose between one room or the other. The other thing is that if you have a DTech reservation you might need to go back outside and make the line for the regular merchandise.
Like I said I won't say anything else until we get first hand accounts

Congratulations on the run!
I can be a bit of a show off so here are my RunDisney medals from last year and no Disney run is complete without stopping for a very special pic

Awesome! We did the Rebel Challenge in January and are doing Wine and Dine in November for this year's Coast to Coast.

Last year, they gave us a list of the LE merchandise. I think it had grayed out what was already sold out.

I'll send texts. For some reason, most of the pictures I take on my phone says file to big after it tries to load it here.

My guess is that the LE stuff will be in "Oaken's/AFI shop" and the rest of the merchandise will be in the "snowground/Showcase" building.

I'd bet once SWW opens, the LE shop will only be accessible after first going through the non-LE shop, if it's the same set up as for FSF. But I guess we'll find out Thursday.

For hydrating kids we got our son a kids size camelbak. We fill it with ice and water at the hotel....as much ice as we can pack in, then use the ice water refills to top off during the day. DS loves it and I don't have to constantly remind him do drink water...just to go to the bathroom! Lol! We got ours from Amazon.

I am contemplating taking it to see if I can get the rebel logo embroidered on it!

A little off topic, but still SW related. Last evening my son and I watched SW episode I. We want to watch all six prior to our SWW trip. I am sure others have noticed this and maybe it was mentioned here, but while watching Padme address the senate, my son says "ET!" ET is on the senate.

I asked what he was talking about, he said he saw ET. I laughed and told him he was crazy. So he rewinds and pauses the movie and says right there. I had to walk up to the TV to see it, but sure enough, there was ET.

Yes! He's right. A while back there was a photo going around fb of Yoda being in ET and ET being in the senate.

I found this out when I got the complete blu ray set. I was watching the movies with commentary and one of them pointed out the ET family. I love watching the movies with commentary

Kenny just make sure you note Mickey is the character photo for the diner this year it's an excellent photo too! Also your site is awesome I use my character locator app while I'm down here and it's PERFECT.

Btw the WHOLE Hollywood Studios was in line for Baymax...

Are you guys excited or WHAT for Star Wars weekend!? I have a huge feeling that once the new movies come out this weekend is going to be jam pack booked so this to me is the last fan event before it explodes!

There is always Celebration in London next year...
