Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[ConnieB]

Hi Coluk003, this is my first SWC... BUT I also know from what I am being told by others whom have gone in the past this is the first time Disney has been this heavily involved in SWC . New Ownership and all. D-TECH has always been a Disney thing...

Looked at the calendar and schedules, nothing about D-TECH for SWC Anaheim.

We went to the last SWC in Orlando in 2012.....no D-Tech. Seriously doubt they had them at the SWC in 2013 in Germany (we didn't go to that one). Haven't seen/heard anything about it at Anaheim either....and that's one that since they need to have appointments made they're going to need to announce it ahead of time. They just now announced appointments available for the May SWW, so you'd think if they were doing it in less than 3 weeks you'd already know and being making appointments.

Remember though even the best run convention is...erm special when it comes to scheduling.

We were at CVI too. My husband swears he saw it there. I thought so too . Inside the magic reported it there.

Yeah, several sources online say that D Tech was available for Celebration here in Orlando

So just as I was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in this whole costume making thing that my daughter has put me thru (seriously it's ridiculously hard to find black leather gloves here in Orlando) she turns to me and says: :Mami, what should I be next year?"

Yay she caught the bug. It's alright I am contemplating building mandalorian armor which is an endeavor I haven't done for around 15 years. I also am feeling creative thanks to Sabine and am making graffiti star wars shirts using halloween stencils blown up bigger.

Sabine has really become a fan favorite, we were just discussing how many people will be dressed as Sabine this year. She's so cool, I really hope the rumors are true and Sabine, Ezra and Chopper come out to meet and greet

Is everyone here dressing up? What are you wearing?

I love dressing up for MNSSHP so I'm excited about this. I think I'm going with a something simple, maybe a heat-modified Princess Leia. White shorts, white t-shirt and a wig.

 

[slaveone]

I won't be full costuming I am not as brave as those of the 501st, Mandalorian Mercs, and Rebel Squadron. Most likely it will be a themed tshirt and shorts. I may try to disneybound boba fett if I get ambitious.

not me...my dressing up will consist of a SW shirt of some kind. my DD14 will be Sabine on some days but just a SW Her Universe shirt/dress for the rest.
If you or kids are dressing up please keep the weather in mind, for kids it's better to bring a change of clothes. Nothing like seeing a full out Darth Maul in full make up and all having a break down (I've seen it and it's not pretty)

My son will be disney bounding SW characters. My husband might dress up one day. And I'll be wearing Star Wars shirts. It's just to hot to dress up, imho. Especially with the shows outdoors this year.

I'm planning on wearing a rebel pilot costume t-shirt and a plumbing fixture lightsaber. My wife is slowly assimilating to my nerdy ways, but I don't think she'll let me walk around in full jedi-mode (yet she got super excited when I agreed to be Flynn Rider last halloween, go figure).

I found this today and thought they were VERY cool.

Anyone know if there will be a feel the force premium package this year?

Yes I am very tempted by those. Hmm I suppose if I fail to add a night to my stay in June I can get all three.

 

[drlaurafsu]

I just really hope Ezra, Sabine and chopper meet together and don't make us go through the lines 2-3 times. That's the worst part of SWW to me.

There will be ftf this year and it should be released sometime in the next week to 10 days. It is unkown if the price will be increased but it is possible since all other dessert parties have gone up recently. However VIP was less expensive this year so who knows.

you and every other disboarder on this thread are waiting for them to release the info
It has been rumored that it might be announced this week on the Disney Parks Blog

Is it necessary to line up super early to get into Stars of the Saga? I'd like to see the pre-show and everything.

They wait until all the seats are filled before they start the SOTS pre-show. Their first line is usually about how did everyone get in before the STs show up. Getting in line an hour before the start time should be enough to get you a decent seat. Remember, the FP+ line is separate and those seats are usually blocked off from the standby seats and closer to the stage. At the Premier Theater, there was an actual rope in the aisles blocking the SBs from the FP+s seats.

As for Behind the Force, last year they had a few minutes long stormtrooper pre-show. I would expect a 5 minute pre-show this year too. The SOTS pre-show is about 15 minutes long.

Today, I was able to book D-Tech me for 2 on May 24th at 12. The call wait time said 30 minutes, but I waited for an hour and 20 minutes.
