Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Has anyone seen a full review of the Deluxe Premium Pass posted anywhere?

I did the DPP first Saturday. Ask away.

During non-SWW times, there are usually a few random Star Wars characters out for pictures. Does everyone stay hidden Mon-Thurs during this time?

We will be at WDW for the next two weekends, and we want to experience some Star Wars, but want to limit the mad crowds as much as possible.

Thanks!

Only sw things that happen during weekdays are JTA, the rebel hangar and both character meals. Other than that no sw characters will be meeting.

No SWW today cause it's Monday
Yesterday was definitely more crowded than Saturday. The autograph lines have stayed about the same for both weekends. From reports you need to be there around 6:30am for the rebels actor. For Warwick Davis you needed to be there around 5am for a guaranteed fp. Silas Carson around 6am, even though a DISser got here at. 7am on Saturday morning and was able to get a fp. Next weekend for Daniel Logan arriving around 5:30 should be fine.
It was an excellent, but super hot and sticky, weekend II

@Yuliana

DOH!!!! Being off from work today has me totally messed up. I keep thinking today is Sunday.

Well that explains the lack of posts this morning. Haha, the Joke is on me.

Although that does mean I am one day closer to being there.

Went to see Tommorrowland yesterday and after The Force Awakens trailer, my DS7 spontaneously starts applauding like crazy!
I'm sure others in the theater thought that was strange, but I know my people here could appreciate how that made me smile!

our shirts are getting finished.....

 

[pookadoo77]

bands wrapped and ready.... SO excited! The one side of the Connor ( 4 yo ) one was a little too dark. I emailed them and they fixed it that day and reshipped me more, no problems. Just gotta peel off and swap it out. Now on to packing, or starting to...

Going to get started on fixing post 1. In the meantime here are pictures of characters as they come off the stage and go backstage after the parade and some of both Rebels and SotS pre show .

and dessert party PP area. The first pic shows the line going around the bend all the way to the stage to check in...there really isn't a need to line up unless you must have a specific table

@luvallprincesses how dud you do that? I love the,

Three of them are simply tattoos that I found at Dollar Tree. Just apply like you would to skin but be careful not to let them slide around when setting the back. Then a few coats of clear nail polish to protect. Very easy. The Ahsoka, I taped off the pattern with masking tape and then 3 coats of white nail polish. It probably took an hour to do all four of them.

Thanks SO much! The PP dessert party, is your back to the stage? Trying to see perspective, other than that does not seem too badly crowded, was imagining way worse... TY!

 

[hauntedcity]

Thanks everyone for answering my questions!

I have... One. Last. Question. (Until I think of some more, that is)

I was able to snag a Rebel Hanger reservation for Thursday. Do characters still show up on "off days", like at H&V and sci-Fi?

Thanks,
Doug

I recall seeing posts of Chewie showing up weekdays I believe

first picture of the check in line, the back is to the stage, you can see the Min and Bill's boat in the distance. for most of the rest the stage is toward the back/right hand side. You can see the photo op of the Hollywood Studios sign behind the people
It really isn't crowded they just added a lot of tables.

We liked it. Not sure how old your son is, but the details of some of the story can be a little convoluted to follow to younger ones, like my DS7 and his friend.
But they got the gist of it, and there was plenty of action and excitement to keep them entertained.
It's got a great message, in my opinion.

Thanks...this is our first time to WDW so it's really hard to get a mental visual on things. Here are my questions:

1. Is it reasonable to show up for the shows 15 minutes in advance?
2. Is there an optimum spot to snag at the dessert party for the best stag viewing?
3. Should we stay at the stag to watch the firework or move somewhere else? I keep reading the view isn't the best.
4. How does the "walk behind the mortorcade to the stage" work and does it give us a good view of the show?
5. Is there a "best place" to try and stand for the parade?

Thank you!

Thanks guys for answering my questions! One thing I forgot to ask - has anyone seen the Star Tours pressed penny machine at Darth Mall this year?
