Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Ok what makes the most sense food wise when you consider crowds 2qs or 1ts and a 1qs meal? We were just gonna wing it since we will be lacking in the ddp credit area. But now I'm reading there is long waits and little available seating for qs locations. I don't want to spend a lot oop for food but I don't wanna have to be stressed out about long lines and no place to sit while eating! Any advice is appreciated! TIA!

Leaving in a few hours to head to California! So excited to show my friend Disneyland and Universal. Hope eveyrone has a good weekend this week!

Since I'm at the airport waiting for boarding to start I figured I would mention that if anyone is looking for a Friday 5/29 Feel the Force premium pass for 1, I cancelled mine online this morning as I found one available on Sunday which is the day I originally booked my Jedi Mickeys Star Wars Dine dinner reservation so it made sense to change.

If you're watching the parade have lunch immediately after, walk fast to your qs of choice. Or if you can wait then have lunch after 2:30 when it dies down a bit. Or if you're not watching the parade qs is opening at 10:30 for lunch, so anywhere before 11:30 is good
Lunch is busier than dinner at qs so I would plan on lunch being the tb and dinner qs.
We never do ts cause we basically eat an early lunch and early dinner at qs and then just a snack to hold us until fireworks

OK, guys. I have been way out of the loop here for a bit. Luckily, this is not my first rodeo. I drive down on Friday, and will be marching in the parade Saturday and Sunday. Check my profile pic for my costume. I will be the big guy with the officers in the white jacket. Hard to miss. Wandering around the parks, it may be hard to find me, but I will likely be around some Legion folks. Not sure if I will be wearing Legion hats or graduation Mickey ears (I graduated from my Master's program with a 4.0 about 2 weeks ago, so, I'm celebrating. Shoot me a PM here adn I can respond if you want to try to meet or something. Anyone with pics of me marching, please tag me in them here so I can find them later. Or hit me up on that big social media site that involves reading someone's features above their neck.

We'll get pictures this weekend. Can't wait to see you march

if you get a hold of the map at your front desk today please let us know the autograph session times so I can confirm what I think are the times.

I actually changed things around yesterday and changed my flight to the 6 am out of Midway on Southwest. The plane isn't even full so nobody is sitting next to me

I am going to cancel a fastpass for the ewok's tale show for this Friday sometime tomorrow for 2 people. I got a feel the force deluxe premium package reservation this morning and won't be needing the fastpass. Please let me know if anyone wants this. I will be at the MK tomorrow but will try to check throughout the day for any responses

I would love to pick them up if you still have them.

We are doing the FtF pp on Sunday as well. Trying to find DPP to upgrade, but no luck yet (need 4).

Yeah, I tried for just 1 and had no luck, but at least I was able to get the FTF for Sunday since I have Jedi Mickeys Dine reservation so I can't complain. Hey a 42 year old isn't to old to be a kid for a few days at Disney .

Ok I know this has been discussed at length, but am having trouble searching this thread: what is the autograph situation at Galactic Breakfast? I was sorta half paying attention to the discussion on here because I didn't have an ADR, but I just picked one up for tomorrow. Thanks

 

[lovethattink]

I check in today. Will ask about a map.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Well. I'm back home and already at work. No one is wearing star wars shirts here, I'm so lost.

Anyway, I'm going to try to do a write up on my experiences tonight. Hopefully my experiences can help out someone else

It's definitely hard to get back to the working world and into the swing of things following SWW- appears that we all need to create and join SWW Anonymous:

"Hi, my name is ____ and I'm high on SWW!"

I'm with you guys!!! I wore my "We're Home" shirt yesterday, and DD was APPALLED that people didn't get it! One woman asked me: "The Container Store is your home?" And she proceeded to try to sell me on their luggage sale. LOL!
