So sorry if this has been discussed- I just read the first page but.... The first post mentions the special dining for SWW and has the dates beginning on May the 4 (ha)


Does this mean that last year the special meals started on May 4 in the parks- or thats when you can book them? I think it means they are being offered starting may the fourth right? When did reservations open?

Also- Are they only offered on the weekends- or weekdays as well?

Anyone know what type of breakfast food was offered at the Galactic Breakfast at SciFi?

THANK YOU!

They began on May 4th and were offered daily through the final SWW. Booking began a few weeks before the opening date.

You guys are amazing and can't wait to figure out how best to plan the day. My son doesn't know we are going for SWW. It'll be a surprise!!!! Thanks so much. Back to page 30 of this years thread. Only 191 more to go....

You guys are awesome!! Thanks so much for the quick response. I am super excited. And, my son doesn't know we are going for SWW so I want to plan it extra carefully. Back to page 30 of the 2014 thread. Only 291 more to go... I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Have already subscribed. Thanks again.

Oh and we are booked may 14-23 at POR!! So if the dates stay consistent, count us in!!!

I have a question. We are planning on going to SWW on what I hope will be opening day next year. It will be our first visit. Son is really into SW and super excited about new movies. During SWW was the Star Tours ride a tier 1 ride or tier 2 ride. Normally it is tier 2. Already thinking about FP+ Ressies since we are taking some DW newbies. Have hotel booked already for May 14-23. Thanks in advance. Now off to read the thread from 2014.

FWIW, Star Tours has a monster capacity so it can accommodate a lot of people throughout the day. The longest we waited for it without a FP in 2013 was an hour, and that was at the beginning of a torrential downpour when all the characters were forced inside and guests were taking shelter in any indoor/covered attraction possible. Other than that, we rode it 9 times over two days and never waited longer than 15-20 minutes for it when we went through SB.

Good to know. My son loves that ride!!

We booked for May 14th through May 25th at AKL... we are hoping that gets us two full SW weekends. Now it's pucker time waiting for the official announcement

 

[yulilin3]

new rumor floating around is that Soundstage 1 (where Darth 's Mall was last year and is currently housing Oaken's trading Post) will be used to make the 3rd TSMM track to expand the attraction
This would mean that Darth's Mall will probably be moved again to the tent behind RnRC
Again just a rumor but that's all we got right now

that's going to be a great trip......

I like the tent!

It would be really cool if they did something daily for sww like they did FSF.

 

[poison ivy]

I thought the tent was a much better setup for Darth's Mall than last years placement in Soundstage 1.

TSMM is the most popular ride in the park, they should totally expand it. Still would like to see them build a better structure than the tent, but I am with you, the tent was much bigger than that little area.

Does anyone think they will move the breakfast out of Sci-fi? I heard a lot of complaints about it not be conducive to character meals and too dark for good pictures?

 

[MakiraMarlena]

I'm not even about to guess whether or not they will actually have the breakfast again. Or the dinner.

I booked a flight for Memorial Day, here's hoping they stick to the pattern. Waiting would mean the flight would be too expensive.

Exclusive information: I was informed this morning that the 9th Star Wars movie will be called, "Star Wars 9: Hippos in Space."

I agree with MakiraMarlena on this one, those character meals were very hush, hush... we were do lucky to have the inside scoop and get in on them! I know people I told only 24 hours later found the meals to be booked, or if they found them at all it was during the week and not on the weekends they were planning to be at the park.

So last year even with them being not widely advertised they booked very quickly.... I am thinking if they have them again they will push the limits on the cost and advertise them out to the public widely now that they have had there test run.

Yulilin, SWW vets, what's your take on this one... do you think they will have the character meals again?
