Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Meech Loves Mickey]

I have the shirt and would say it definitely runs small. I normally wear small or medium, and I found the large lightsaber HU shirt most comfortable -- and not loose at all.

Thanks! I still hope she has some items left by the time I get there for Weekend V!

I forgot to tell the mom that had a kid in the parade to be especially careful about hydration. It is way hotter than last week, we were awesome at hydration, but basically has to go to the Frozen Sing along to reset.

Ironically ds is probably better than I am. He wears a camelbak (and I made him keep it on during the parade).

I was also wondering about the ice cubes as well. Want to pick up a few. I'll have to check Darths mall and near H&V. Are theses the only two locations?

And I take it you can get them with or without a drink?

Glad to hear it went well!

On my way now! Eta 2:30 ish.

Also, does anyone have a link to a list of all the items for sale and prices in Darths mall? I had found one a year or two ago when I went ahead of time, but haven't seen anything for this year

There was a stand near the speeder bike/SciFi and one near Indy/50s PT. IIRC, they had Death Stars and Millennium Falcons. The X-Wing is only at RH. Not sure if you have to buy a drink, but all of the places had non-alcholic options.

Are you wondering about anything specific? I can look at the prices for what we bought.

Great first half of the day so far! Ate breakfast at Sci Fi, met Darth Maul, got the Boba Fett stein with glow cubes, watched @The Sunrise Student carry the flag in the parade, and rode Star Tours many times We are taking a break at the resort at the moment but will be back for our Rebel Hangar ADR, more M&G's and the dessert party! Hopefully meeting once we return!

I have the light saber shirt as well, and second the fit. I normally wear a medium and read they run small, so ordered an XL (because the large was sold out and I reeeeeally wanted it!). Though it's a bit loose, the XL fits fine. Definitely size up.

You have to buy a drink to be able to get a glow cube. At all the outdoor bar locations you can get Millennium Falcon or DEath Star and inside Rebel Hangar is the only place to find the X Wing glow cube.

Sweet thanks! I'll check those spots out.

And nothing specific. Maybe mainly the pins or some of the cheaper options under $50

Ugh, I am trying not to get frustrated yet, but I am not happy with the first response to my inability to get the free dinner download. I sent an email since I don't get very good phone reception near the computer. The response was that a free download is not included. I responded that the CM told me it is and everyone I know is getting it. I said I know breakfast doesn't have it but dinner does. Hopefully, they correct it or give me a code for just one download. For the price of dinner, I am going to be super upset if they don't honor it since no one used our camera. If they respond that way again, I will be calling. Just wondering if anyone else has had trouble with the free download?

Just curious, what was this for ?
Sorry for your frustration.

Jedi Mickey dinner comes with a free download of the photo with Jedi Mickey. Mine isn't working though. It wants me to pay $14.95. I didn't realize they didn't use my camera until it was too late, so I am relying on the photopass photo. Hopefully, it gets resolved!

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

hotter than last weekend - YIKES!!!!

Keep drinking water and / or sucking on ice! Remember all CS places will give you free cups of ice water. Best IMO to get all ice - as in filled to the top and then add the water - the ice melts fairly quickly.

For the person who was looking for a Boba Fett Stein the place we found them last weekend was Peevy's cocktails a smallish drink place set up between Bill and Mins (the boat) and H&V.

Sending some Pixie Dust your way & hopefully the PhotoPass fairies can help.

[The Sunrise Student]

Thanks for the report Sunrise! For kids, did the parade viewing and dessert party seem really crowded/packed? Did they seem able to see? Making sure it will be ok for my son that has anxiety. Thanks SO much! Beautiful parade pic!!

Viewing area for the kids seemed pretty good, however I hear they moved it to face the main street more.

 

[The Sunrise Student]

Hey Gang, I am soooooooo far behind on the posts... BUT IF YOU ARE AT THE 24 HOUR MK event we are hanging at MK till our mine train FP at 11:30, we hope. If you're there too and see me in a blue and black maxi dress be sure to say hi! We will be at DHS tomorrow and most of Sunday.
