Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[lovethattink]

Somewhere on the DIS there is a freebie thread. Chocolate at Ghirardelli's, drinks at Club Cool, etc.

The Lego store at DTD often has free builds. We haven't been to one in a while, but the are usually marked on their calendar.

Tee Public, Red Bubble, Designs by Humans, Snorg, Woot all sell some pretty cute designs for women that you can put on a "mens cut" shirt if their womens sizes don't fit you. I've ordered from several of these and they are all good quality.
As someone with a larger upper half I sometimes get "stuck" having to order a mens small so I'm always on patrol for cute shirts that will fit me properly

I have ordered a lot of shirts from Woot. I love the designs (all submitted by "regular" people), and the quality of both men's and women's tees is great. In fact, I have to really reign myself in from not ordering from them all. the. time. I actually prefer the men's over the women's. I like a boxy cut for a printed tee, the hourglass cut for plain shirts. I have S and M in men's and M women's cut. I normally wear a size 6-8, and I prefer the fit of a men's M. The women's M is fine, but, like I said, I like a boxy cut for printed shirts. I would say they run true to size (how I would expect a generic M to fit), and their size chart is accurate. They sometimes run tanks and sweatshirts, but they offer "made to order" tees in almost everything with a small section that is "out of print".

Cute. I am hoping for Lego to have the build it again.

Hold up...was this at HS? We do the monthly mini build at the Lego store. ODS loves it!
ETA: I see it's at Darth's Maul, or was. Nice! I hope they do it again!

Here's the headband. One weekend we were there there was no one building so we made six

Was this at Darth's mall? My son would love this!! What exactly was it?
Never mind I read more of the post and found the answer! Got ahead of myself. Very cool that it's free!

six mini stations(with all the legos) that you would go around and get one piece at a time to build your x wing. It was tucked in a corner so it was a small area. Some days it would have a line but the day we did it there was no one there.

Thanks!! DS will love this if they bring it back this year. He loves all things legos. That's pretty cool that it was free.

Was there a set time for the Troopers and Boba Fett roaming on the main stage last year? Was it throughout the day or more at regular intervals like a character meet or show would be? Or was it just the one appearance?

it was only in the morning before the parade.
They would alternate between the troopers and Bobba starting around 8:30am they didn't really release a schedule for it

Dear Disney and Star War fans, I apologize but I seriously have some newbie questions. I am a HUGE Disney fan and go several times a year. However, I just happen to be in the Orlando area for May the 4th and.... nearly died when I made the connection. I have never, ever been to a Star War event at Hollywood studios. I will not be there during the weekends but I assume some things are still available. So here are my newbie questions - -what the heck is FTF that everyone is sooo excited about AND, are we allowed to come in costume? To avoid having to post this painful questions, I did do a search, but it appears that everyone but me knows what FTF is and while people speak of costumes, I just want to make sure so I don't embarrass myself. TIA!

I know stars of the saga is popular but which of these two would you FP?

Obi-wan and beyond or an ewoks tale?

Ewoks tale. JAT always seems to be there but Warrick isn't always certain.

Maythe 4th is not really celebrated that much. Last year a couple of characters were out for meet and greets and some shirts and pins were offered.
FtF Feel the Force is a package that was offered last year only during SWW that includes parade and fireworks viewing and a dessert party
You can go in with costume on the 4th but unless something bigger for that day is announced you'll be one of the few in costume

I know! I was sold on getting the X-wing Pilot, but the Jedi is amazing! Now I kind of want to do both and I really don't need to.

This year, the experience will be located inside Darth’s Mall, near Streets of America across from Studio Catering Company.

so basically we have confirmation that Darth's Mall will indeed be a multiple room area. It looks like D Tech Me will be in the store between Studio Catering Co quick service and the Monsters Inc meet and greet. The rest should consist of the old AFI store (recently used as Oakens) and the Backlot Tour Prop Shop.
The booking opened yesterday so if anyone is interested it's time to book to guarantee you get the time slot that works with your schedule

Anyone able to get a Dtech reservation? I don't know if it was my party (2+1) or magical upgrades but I couldn't get anything 5/15 pm or 5/16 am
