Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Jawa Livin]

you won't have problems getting into Rebels, maybe line up 30 minutes before the show. They seat at 15 minutes before so you would only wait 15 minutes

Thanks! Will try that if we can't get FP

If you have been searching for Galactic breakfast for tomorrow, check right now!! It's the cancellation policy at play
EDIT: and apparently they are all gone

So is the day before your trip when cancelations will pop up the most? I'll keep an eye on my phone then! Maybe I can catch one or two on Thursday 6/4 for weekend IV.

 

[cinder-ellah]

I guess you can pick more than one

LOL ! Oops, only "1" favorite ?
Well, you can tell ..... I got carried away

Galactic breakfast light saber update! We got some today after our reservation although the movie screen was blank for most of our meal so they may have been apology sabers they were holding in reserve? We also got fastpasses on our way out which is awesome cuz we missed our original TSMM FP this am

That would explain after checking since last week multiple times a day and not finding anything, why one reservation for 825 on Sunday showed up out of no where.

I won't complain too much, we at least got to see both teaser trailers for the force awakens

Wait a minute you get a lightsaber as part of the Galactic breakfast.

 

[yulilin3]

Well now he's a definite must see!

what seems like years ago. My daughter was completely enamored by him

weeeeell. That was never advertised but this year people received them (the ones in the picture above, not full sized) they ran out this weekend. I'm not sure if they got another shipment of them or they just had some stashed somewhere

 

[Disaholic73]

when you booked did you give them your flight info??????

Yes I did. I even have an email from WDW travel company on 3/28 with all my package info and it includes Magical Express transfer and flight info. I just called and they said that they did not have my flight info in the system. something is obviously wrong there because I am staring at the email that states I gave it to them. Anyway, they took down my flight info again and will be sending out luggage tags that should arrive here by June 8th for our June 11 departure. Still scratching my head at how the info could be lost on their end since that email from them and it was also listed in the "pre-travel" booklet, with the discounted extras vouchers and outline of our stay and package, thatI received a week or two ago with the Mickey travel tags (not to be confused with the ME luggage tags).

Ok thanks. I saw them in the picture. It would be nice to get one, but it's not like it's going to ruin my SWW day on Sunday if I don't get one during the Galactic Breakfast. SWW is one of the reason's I booked the trip for now as I have never been to one before.

Something is going on with ME info being put in. I gave my info to them more than once and the CM even had to put me on hold yesterday so they could get my time updated with ME since I took an early morning flight today. Any ways when I checked in for the ME at the airport they had my inbound flight info, but not my outbound flight info.

For those going for SWW V and using Magical Express, have you received your luggage tags yet? I know they say to expect them about two weeks out but I never thought that I had recieved mine in the past inside of two weeks. 14 more days til wheels up out of Detroit and into Orlando. Kids are so excited, but not more than me! My only problem at this point is that I won't get to decompress with them upon our return after this trip. When we touch down in Detroit on the 16th, I have to hop on another flight 5.5 hours later to South America for a business trip. That is going to seriously destroy my Star Wars buzz and really bring on the Disney hangover.

I got my magical express luggage tags ~ 2 weeks ago for weekend V.

Greetings all! I have been lurking for several hundred pages, just haven’t posted anything yet! I’m taking DH to SWW next weekend for his birthday; he’s been wanting to go for YEARS, we just never make it out this time of year. This year the stars aligned (free flights via frequent flier miles, already had an AP and somehow managed to book the last full weekend reservation in an AKL Studio a few months back!) I have been stalking the Disney dining booking page for honestly MONTHS, every day, trying to get a Galactic Breakfast reservation for June 5th (Close to 8am) or any time June 6th, or even an early June 7th (we fly in on June 4th and home on the 7th. Nothing. Even tried changing the party size. I’ve got nothin’.


If anyone happens to already have a reservation that maybe a few people in your party aren’t going to show up for, and has room to share a breakfast table with 2 30-something weirdos, please let me know! I would in turn be happy to see if we could add you to our RH reservation on June 5 at 7:30, or our Jedi Mickey dinner June 4 at 8:45!

 

[yulilin3]

there's a 10:55am galactic breakfast for a party of 6 open for tomorrow. Right now

 

[Disney Diva Mom]

Okay fellow sww crafters. I made all the boys their stuff, now my mission was to make a shirt for me that was both Star Wars and girly. I think it came out pretty good!! Gotta love google images and glitter. Kinda looks like the rebel logo.

remember to leave a phone number if you want them to call you back

Thanks. Now I have to wait and see if they are back in stock. Haha

 

[Pygmypuff07]

I've been in meetings all day, so I just saw this. Just drop it whenever. I'm leaving work in about an hour to head to the airport and then flying down tonight, so it will be too hard to coordinate a time. Thanks, though!

I actually just changed it so if you are not on your flight yet, there is still a chance! Hope you have a great flight.

Very nice. I'm a guy so I do what most guys do and just go to Walmart and Target and buy them. Here are the two that I got for $7.20 each. The first one (dark blue is the plain one, but I really like the 2nd one (light blue one) with all the various vehicles and ships on it. I bought the light blue one for Sunday and the dark blue one just in case I go back to HS during Mon-Thur of next week. What do you guys think?
