Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

We're visiting on Saturday, June 6. What are the chances we can get a walk up breakfast for Galactic at Dine-In? I've checked the disney dining site obsessively, and signed up for one of the paid notification services, but the day is drawing near and we still don't have a reservation.

I saw a family getting walk up seating at 8 am on Friday. I would just head straight there and hope for the best. Also, I got about 5 notifications for our breakfast ADR(I kept them on) the day before we ate there. Lots of people cancel last minute

Did you notice how big their party was?

Does anyone know if Sabine and Ezra appear at both the 12:15 & 4:15 PMC?

Also, is there any reason why we couldn't just order drinks at RH and no food?

Yes, Sabine and Ezra are part of both PMCs.

You can order anything you want. You do not have to order food.

I just got a notification from Diningbuddy for a 8:05am for galactic. I snatched it quickly because our other was during the parade so I'll be dropping it I think. But now I guess we won't be doing the Chewie run or sign ups? Will it be possible to line up for JTA and VTTM before our reservation at 8:05? What's another good time for Chewie with Ewoks if not rope drop? We will be at HS 2 days so I guess we can do Chewie at rope drop the second day.

Well, I didn't get 2 of the 3 things I really wanted today: Fett stein and Force Awakens shirt (no XL left).

Can anyone recommend a park shopper service or maybe I could pay a member to pick one up for me? I really don't want to buy from eBay and support scalpers (especially since a CM told me today, they are the main reason for sell outs).

Had Rebel Hanger reservations today at 6:05PM. We were there from 6-7pm. Greedo, Sabine and Ezra, and a Jawa all made an appearance but NONE stopped by any of the tables in the area we sat at. Pretty disappointed. I realize characters aren't promised, but to hit up some tables and not other sucks, especially because our table had two kids (boy 9 and girl 7) who would have LOVED to meet their favorite Rebels characeters (when most adults could care less about the show it seems).

Food, atmosphere, and air conditioning was excellent though.

A few more questions for all of you helpful folks:
1. We have a RH ADR for both next Sat and Sun evenings. If we visit on Sat and we don't feel the need to come back again, will it be too late to cancel the Sunday ADR and not get charged?
2. We're staying offsite and have our own vehicle, can we pretty much count on being able to park near each park (MK, DHS, Epcot) and just walk in or do you need to take other means of transportation to get from the parking lots to the parks themselves (monorail, shuttle, etc)?
3. For those that are familiar with the area, would anyone be willing to offer me route advice if I provide the address of the condo we are renting for the week?

Thanks in advance and I hope all of you guys are having a great time there this weekend. We'll be driving down and leave in 3 1/2 days...getting very excited!

Those are AWESOME! Is that gold foil? You will get many complements and questions about where you got the shirts, I guarantee it! Which weekend are you going?

 

[Wendydagny]

@lovethattink We did and I was a total stalker, but I couldn't not ask if it was you after the awesome time my daughter and I had with your son. Everyone should experience the frozen sing along with him! he really was a great kid to talk to and so nice and accepting of mine.

Thank you! They are gold, metallic heat transfer vinyl. Made with my Silhouette Cameo & the trusty iron!

We'll be there weekend 4 on the 7th! Today's pretty much over so eight days & a wake up!

I file this under fat chance but if anyone is considering canceling their feel the force deluxe premium package for 6/12-14 (any of those days) please let me know, would love it.

Last night around 5pm they put the sign up outside Darth's Mall that they were sold out. There were 12 left at that time and they kept announcing the number left til gone.

Someone told me that they are going to stagger the mugs each weekend so there are some for all 5. Not sure if that's the case or not.

I over heard a CM tell someone during the VIP Darth's Mall time week 1 that they were "sold out of the mugs till next weekend". From the conversation it sounded like they were selling a certain number of mugs each weekend.

As long as the pins have the protective backs attached, the Jawas will take them in trade.

Great, thanks!

Total long shot- if anyone is in the park and finds a black and orange camera bag with a canon camera in it, please turn it in to guest services for me. Three very helpful cast members tried to help me find it (thankful to them for trying) but they weren't able to find it. Last time we know we had it was at 4:45 at the Blister pack meet. We went to Darth's Mall afterward and then husband went to Star Tours and I went to Muppets (I didn't have it on my person- may have been left on my stroller) we checked all three possibilities and didn't find it. We're checking guest services tonight.

It has pictures of my infant DD on it and some pics from the trip that aren't replicated on memory maker or my phone (including jedi Mickey's and galactic breakfast )

Needless to say if it wasn't for our dessert Party tonight I would have already gone back to the hotel.

If you purchased vacation insurance through Disney or another company that will cover the cost of the camera, I know the photos are priceless though and hope they found it for you.

Was this questions ever answered? Can one person from the group pick up the FtF credentials while the others enjoy a ride or similar?

Yes they can as long as they are on the reservation.

I've read as well heard from the dis unplugged, they have seen people in the am getting walk ups,that would be my first stop, and I would briskly walk, as Disney doesn't allow running lol.

I just got a notification from Dining buddy for a 8:05am for galactic. I snatched it quickly because our other was during the parade so I'll be dropping it I think. But now I guess we won't be doing the Chewie run or sign ups? Will it be possible to line up for JTA and VTTM before our reservation at 8:05? What's another good time for Chewie with Ewoks if not rope drop? We will be at HS 2 days so I guess we can do Chewie at rope drop the second day.

You only get 5 to 10 mins grace on reservations, I would say do the Cherie run another day, as far as the JTA AND VttM, you might want to choose what's most important and do that. Not sure of other good times to meet Chewie.

Pretty stoked about the shirts I made DH & I for our SWW day! Even DH is excited about them!
