Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Cluelyss]

May I ask where you got a star wars autograph book? Is it sold at the parks? Is it just an autograph book or spots for pictures, too? Never mind, I found one from 2013 online. Is it something only sold at Darth's Maul? Chance I'll get it at the Beach Club before we head off to our first day in the parks?

I believe they have been available at the Disney store online in prior years?

Did the panel you had printed hold up better than the iron ons? And could you share the website you used to have it printed, please. Thank you. (if you'd prefer to private message, that's fine, thanks)

The panel is still new and only been washed 1 time but based on the fact it was printed directly on the fabric and the company promises the colors wont fade I have a much better feeling about it than the iron on. just do a google search for fabric on demand and you will find the website. It was a pretty easy process once I had the image I wanted to print. Sent the image file, told them what size I wanted the print and made sure the image file would scale correctly. They sent me a proof to verify the image, after I approved it was printed in a couple days and I had it a little over a week later.

We got it at DHS. The only downside to the autograph book is there isn't enough pages for all the SWW characters. The plus is that there is a place to put a picture on each page.

Feel the Force was offered for the first time last year. It gave you a reserved spot for the 11:30am SW parade including ice cream and bottled water/soft drink and a dessert party with fireworks viewing.

Do we have any really tall or really short people here who want to audition? Think of it, hub access in this thread from Chewie

I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN.... too bad I couldn't get the time off from work.

 

[pookadoo77]

awesome thank you guys SO much! Trying to read some of them and my cheat sheet not working was hard, lol. Can't wait!!

 

[wdhinn89]

Only on the weekends of SWW
showtimes will probably be announced when they open fp+ for them, so I'm thinking a month before the first weekend (thinking that they will want AP who are not staying on property to be able to book with everyone else)
Before when fp wasn't an option we wouldn't have a schedule until that first weekend
Show times have stayed pretty consistent for the last couple of years

Thank You

Are the star wars character meals only on the weekend or are they all week?

All week, May 4 - Jun 14, I believe.

Glad to be back & see so many familiar DISers. I enjoyed meeting a few of you last year at SWW. So I survived back to school & the holidays so now it's on to more important matters planning/daydreaming about our annual SWW trip...

Sorry if this has been discussed already but do you guys think the FTF package will reappear and if it does will you be doing it again? Although I thoroughly enjoyed it, I am thinking it would have to offer at least something new for me to repeat.

Nice to see you back
I've been thinking about the package, I would like to do it again but it's really going to depend on my money situation. Things are pretty tight and Stephanie wants to cosplay this year so that's an extra added cost. I'm still on the fence

I can't wait for Jedi Mickeys dinner do you guys think the fantastic portion of it is worth it? Or just the regular portion
