Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Dis_Yoda]

This is the link for the Galactic Gathering LE merchandise. Some of the items are limited to the May 14 event, but most will be sold at Darth's Mall during the SW weekends. Think of Darth's Mall as a Disney Store just for Star Wars items - hats, clothes, pins, toys, fine art, vinylmations. I'm looking forward to the special SWW name badges (They change the design each year) and items from the upcoming SW VII movies.

Looks like I was correct about the Dooney Purses! Glad I already have mine & won't have to deal with getting it.

Nothing in that handbooks looks like stuff we have to have!

Yay! I'm doing the VIP tour the same day!

Speaking of the VIP tour, if they are allowing up to 40 people to join per day, do they split the group up or does everyone move in a giant pack? I did the Ultimate Day of Thrills with 12 people and it was hard enough keeping everyone together. Forty seems too large.

For those that have signed up for the Galactic Gathering, I am confused about the links that were sent in the confirmation e-mail. The first one is to order things in the RSP. Okay, cool. The second one says "To purchase iPhone cases, specialty gift cards and name tags please visit <link>". But everything on the second page is also on the RSP page. So if I use the second link to order an extra lightsaber band or a GG nametag, do I not put it on the RSP? I'm confused.

Hey, all. Thanks for all the great info on this thread. I think I posted way back when in this, but I lurk everyday.

Anyway, question I thought someone may know the answer to: for the Her Universe shirts, will any of them fit a toddler without being crazy huge? I have a 2.5 year old daughter and we'll be going to SWW and I can't find many Star Wars shirts for girls. I saw a cute one on Her Universe, but the smallest size is "youth small". Anyone know if that would have any chance of working for her? She is very average-sized, generally wears 2T or 3T, maybe 35 inches tall and 28 pounds. Thanks!

ETA: I just saw a different shirt on there with Youth Extra Small, so maybe that's an option?

I don't know the answer to this, but if they won't fit you can check Think Geek. They carry kids sized shirts, I believe down to infant sizes.

Thanks, OZMom! I just looked further (guess I posted too soon) and did also find an "infant" shirt in a 24 month size, so that may work too. And I will check Think Geek - I never looked for toddler stuff there, but I've bought gifts for DH from there.

I don't know. Last year it was all done in the same form. I do remember getting emails that I couldn't use nicknames on the name tags. They didn't like Joesolo or @kmcdougan .

Think Geek actually just had some ADORABLE shirts for toddlers Y is for Yoda, R is for R2-D2 actually. They were all too small for my almost 5 year old though as they only went up to 5T. I'd also look at Etsy sellers. I ordered matching shirts for my 3 boys and us for one day of SWW and I can't wait to get and wear them!

i knw every year can be different but what kind of stuff does darths mall have? Pictures would get me excited too

Last year I had a name badge made. This is the Annual Passholder version I got. You pick your planet or profession below what your name would be in the Star Wars language. It was only about $12.

I don't know what time he went in but I agree that it looks quite empty. Maybe during the parade when everyone is grabbing their spots?

 

[lovethattink]

Before the store closed was usually empty.

 

[pookadoo77]

wow! Where did you get these?!

Anyone else wearing these for sww?

lol, ty!

 

[pookadoo77]

depending on what you are looking for. If you want some LE pins/ pin sets, or other LE items they might be almost all sold out. But if you're looking for merchandise with the logo (shirts, glasses, keychains,etc) toys or other things you will still find a large selection. The last weekend they also mark everything wth the SWW logo down 30% because they don't sell these in regular Disney stores after the event is done
