Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[JayLeeJay]

Is there any secret to being pointed out as the 'Rebel Spy' on Star Tours or is it random?

A few years ago a friend and I rode ST about 5x straight (no wait!! woot)...anyway, the last time we rode it became one of my more memorable Disney moments. A 'ship' full of strangers ended up quoting the movies and having a blast together. To begin the ride the Rebel Spy was pinpointed AAAAAAND

It was none other than a younger dude totally posing for the picture, like he KNEW it was coming. I mean, how many people just soooo happen to be making a silly face while holding up their Li'l Wayne t-shirt while flashing some kind of goofy hand gesture?

or maybe that's how this guy gets ready to ride every attraction...

My boyfriend and I rode Star Tour twice on the same day and he was picked both times. He was wearing a Monsters Inc/ Star Wars shirt. Once we sat in the front and once in the back. I was also wearing a Monsters Inc/Star Wars shirt but didn't get picked. His had a shadow of Darth Vader on it. That's what we think contributed to him being picked twice.

I just got my daughter the Mickey lightsaber at Villains in Vogue last weekend. It was about $16.00. Fully retractable with lights and sound.
My daughter calls the hilt "comicly large" but she also has not stopped playing with it since we got home.

Pretty much two that I know of--don't have your glasses on before they tell you to, and stand out somehow. That's what that guy did, and it was easy to tell who would be the rebel spy on one of my flights, dude was dressed as a perfect Jack Sparrow.

Thanks! I thought that was quite a 'coincidence' that he wash chosen.

Man, I am soooo going to confuse my wife and daughter as I'm making my 'I had friends on that Death Star' t-shirt or 'Visit Tatooine! Fun in the Suns!' shirt noticeable, while making a strange face...maybe...may need a Swamp juice beforehand.

I must offer my heartfelt thank you to all who have contributed to this thread.

I'm a non-SW fan (sorry) but wife and mother to SW lovers. I decided to take them all to SWW on a whim and have lurked endlessly. Frankly, planning is my thing and I'm grateful to have teens that are willing to go along with my plans I come up with even if they don't care to have much input. I booked the FtF Deluxe Premium package thanks to this site and my husband said "worth every penny" countless times. The only hiccup was not planning for the odd amounts of downtime between the celebrity shows. It was just enough to race off to do one thing then race back to another show. However, we LOVED the access to shows the Deluxe Premium offered and I enjoyed them just as much as my family. The dedication and passion shown by the fans in attendance was amazing and added so much to the whole experience.

I even flung myself at a Tusken Raider to get a selfie. And I don't even take selfies. And my family wasn't even around. The force was strong...

As I typed this my husband came over with a glass of wine (big) and a card with "thank you" on the front.

And THANK YOU to you.

Not a SW fan? What! Time to walk the plank!! I kid (maybe) glad you had fun, SWW is quite the experience.

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!

Saw the trailer today at the theater at DTD and the theater clapped! So cute about your son. Love that kind of genuine excitement

I think you can officially remove the "non" from your post. Flinging yourself at a Tusken Raider, planning, booking and attending SWW with a FTF DP sounds to me you are now a SW fan. I'll bet you even got goose bumps during the fireworks show. I'm glad you could attend SWW and had fun !
The force is indeed strong ....

[JenMags]

Thanks for your earlier advice. Just confirming that PMC sign-up is near JTA sign-up. TIA.

I do not have the link but it is on the SWW roll call thread and there is NOT a Vader poster...there are Maul, Chewie and Stormtrooper

 

[coluk003]

Well I'm at LAX really to early for a 1020 pm flight out to mco direct but better late then never. I'm assuming there were no boba fett steins this past weekend huh.

Finally arrived safely back home after a bumpy flight through huge thunderstorms here in Dallas. I just wanted to drop in & say a HUGE thank you to everyone for my 2 successful SW weekends & especially yulilin & her sweet daughter for saving the awesome spots for us Dis'ers at the fireworks! DS was amazed again at how much we were able to do & surprising him with reservations at the rebel hanger was the highlight of my trip. It never would have been possible without all the wonderful people here. I hope everyone else has as magical a trip as we did & may the force be with you all!

Aha !

So... I have Frank Oz fastpasses to give up. DH & I (and DD) have the DxPP that weekend, so we'll be getting in. I bought the PP for the in-laws so grabbed FPs for the group just in case. They do NOT have any interest in the shows (*whew* I picked the right package for them!)... got an answer tonight. Anyway ping me if you want the coordinate the FP drop and get.

Heads up, the Ezra lightsaber is $59.95 @ Darth’s Mall and $35.97 @ Target and Walmart. Thanks to the DISer who have us the heads up.

We bought ours at Target. i thought that was a good price; I need to open and it to check it. It is going to be a departure day surprise!

 

[RedM94]
