Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

Nice! Anything else SWW going on during the week? (Other than, you know, ST and JTA)

Galactic breakfast and Jedi Mickey dinner. That's it

Anyone know if the Dtown Disney "Once Upon a Toy" Build a light saber is any different than the Darth's Mall or Tatooine Traders as far as pieces available and selection?? Any special pieces or colors offered at DHS for SWW?? Thanks! Trying to see if we can knock that out the first day so we wont have to stop for it on our SWW day

There are 4 locations that I know of that you can build a lightsaber: Once Upon a Toy in DTD, Star Traders in MK (Tomorrowland), and Tattoine Traders and Darth's Mall (Watto's Grotto) in DHS--the last one only during SWW. While there over the weekend, I did not look at Star Traders closely--only saw it from outside walking past--but the rest looked like they had all the same parts and pieces. I ultimately built mine at Tatooine Traders because that was the only location that had helpful pictures for different characters' sabers, and the CMs there seemed like they knew exactly what was needed to build a Vader and a Luke one. That might have been the busiest location of the 4 I saw too.

I just discovered that I have three premium FtF packages for this Friday, the 5th. I made the made two reservations that day and then promptly forgot about the second one.
I will release them tomorrow in case anyone wants to coordinate.

Is it still available?

Someone asked about timing Ahsoka - the list that @yulilin3 put together for the Blister Pack meet is pretty spot on, though it seems like Ahsoka may come out at least once more later in the evening that isn't listed on MDE. I've found that the line takes 20-30 minutes if it is backed up all the way through the ropes, but is quicker when just Rex and/or Cody are there because Ahsoka and Ventress talk, but the clones don't. Also, the character minders (whatever the redshirts are actually called) are super nice there, especially one that is either named Josh or John. He was great about telling people who they were likely to see based on where they were in line and gave suggestions on times to get in line if you're looking for specific characters.

Thank you! This helps a great deal. I am preparing for weekend V, complete with laminated, pocket sized character schedules. It's on my phone too, but so easy just to whip these out! I am going to give it my absolute best because my 'princess crazy' daughter actually has Ahsoka at the top of her character wish list next to Anna & Elsa! I must be doing something right if Ahsoka trumps the likes of Cinderella, Tiana, and Rapunzel! Ideally I'd like to hit it if there's a little x-over with Rex since I like him, but I just want to make the little one happy.

I just sent a pm to the moderator requesting the thread stays open until the end of sww. I'm sure he'll see that it's been very helpful and in no way have we had any negative or inappropriate posts.

@danny1649
We will just start a new thread and post just as frequently to it. So, am I not understanding something? I don't understand why the number of pages matters. I truly want to understand. I promise I am not trying to be obstinate. Thanks for all of the work on moderating this very active thread.

LOL, my princess crazy daughter will inform anyone that will listen that for her third birthday this weekend we are going to see Mickey and Darth Vader. Not A&E or any other princess. She is already destined for the dark side. DH feels a great sense of accomplishment because of this.

@danny1649 Could you please leave this thread up until SWW is over? There are only 2 weekends left and this page has been extremely helpful to SO many! We would be forever grateful. So many people are having amazing trips and it's all because of the tips shared on this thread. It is truly making our visit to Disney amazing. I'm sure I speak for us all when we say we'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

I agree with the others, please leave the thread open for the next 2 weeks to complete out SWW2015. We have no issues within the thread so moderating should be relatively easy. Thanks for considering our requests

I will consider itbut if I bend guidelines for this thread what do I say to others when I close their thread at 250 pages. Danny

 

[TwinPrincessMermaids]

Rules are rules.... At almost 4 x the rule limit already!

Closing at 250 pages was in the old software. If I recall, after the software change, in the technical forum, it was discussed that the 250 page cut-off would not longer apply.
Now, my memory is fuzzier as my age gets older, but that is truly what I remember. @lanejudy do you?

 

[morrison2951]

Time to make new guidelines!

SWW ROCKS!

WARNING!

I HIGHLY recommend you avoid purchase of "her universe" or "tee fury" if you are a plus size.

I bought one from Her Universe first and it should have been equivelent to a 3X according to their site, but it's more like a medium. I gave it to my daughter and it fits her. (She wears a medium, or size 12.)

I bought from tee fury a size 3x. It SAYS 3x on it, but looks like a medium, too.

These were not super cheap either.

I also bought one from Torrid (and VERY not cheap) and this one thankfully is sized correctly.

eta: if you are not plus size, they are probably just fine. Although I do wonder since her universe sized itself 4 sizes too small, does that mean if you buy a REAL medium it would fit a toddler?

 

[yulilin3]

@Candleshoe I've bought from t fury and go one size up.
For Her Universe I've stopped buying online because I had the same problem, that's why I now buy only when she comes to sww
