Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[DisneyWishes14]

This just in! Caroline Kennedy announces absolutely nothing about SWW while drawing Dopey and singing songs from Tangled while on top of a monkey sand sculpture!

ugh, come on Disney. We have plans to make and SW costumes to sew.

On a brighter note, that website glitch this morning seems to have opened up some BOG breakfast times, so at least I finally snagged that!

Back to DPB refreshing.

I grabbed a BOG breakfast, too after FPs I'll have to decide whether to keep that, or to keep the lunch one I have.

 

[Ninja Mom]

Okay that was odd one minute there was a thing about Lion King and firedancing on the Blog and next back to Kennedy.

Caroline's memories are VERY strong. Fire dancing not so much

Up next: Caroline's memories of Star Wars weekends. It will be a short blog entry.

Anyone know if they have chocolate croissants at bog breakfast?

Nope. Though the croissant doughnut sounds divine! Here's the menu

 

[slaveone]

There is one and only one chocolate croissant on the pastry plate.

I wish the availability of early BOG breakfasts would open up the early CP ones. Alas. Could've gotten a BOG 8:15 on my first MK day, but we're looking forward to Pooh! *le sigh*

Thanks...guess I will keep Ohana and crystal palace on our MK days then. DS love chocolate croissants so it would be worth it for that...

And now the site is back down...

On a plus note the Lion King firedancer is back up on the blog.

I got bored and drew Dopey. Also can't figure out how to get him uploaded the right direction. Just really would like some updated SWW news.

@dawn8179 that's really good!! I feel like we have one more update from WDW and the another from DL and that's it for the day

 

[jtowntoflorida]

Wow, @dawn8179...you learned how to do that watching a video on the parks blog? I might show that to the kids tonight...they'd flip over getting to draw Dopey!

After I'd decided NOT to do BOG breakfast, I went in and took the 8:15 that popped up on our only MK day. My daughter said she really wants to see the opening show, but I wonder if she'll want to ride 7DMT without a wait more! LOL. The thought of not waiting in the RD herd is appealing, though getting up that early on our MK day isn't.

Thank you. We love the Animation Academy and have a lot of Pluto and Goofy drawings, we also have Jiminy Cricket. We won't be able to go this year, because the 2 year old will not sit still for us to do that.

I wonder if we were better off when we thought the announcements would come after SW Celebration?
Anyways I can only stalk the sites for about 45 more minutes. Got a meeting at my DD14 school and then off to Splitsville to see my son and his band play there. I might get a nice "adult beverage" it's been a stressful day for no reason :/

 

[Koh1977]

I really don't care about learning the fire knife routine from The Festival of the Lion King...

 

[southernfriedmom]

Since we are all still waiting, I am going to ask a completely off topic question here to see if any one happens to know the answer (I don't have time to post a new thread and take time away from SWW stalking to check for an answer)... Does anyone know if the inside the park Guest Relations (like City Hall at MK) are open before the park officially opens but after guests with early ADR are allowed entrance?

 

[drlaurafsu]

Yes...we stopped in there on the way to breakfast one morning to see if we could get my dad to be the vet for the flag retreat ceremony. He stopped while we went on to breakfast check in

That's awesome!

I am getting anxious, too.

Here are some SW sugar cookies I am practicing. I'm going to try a batch for our SWW trip.

Okay where did you get those cookie presses. Those are amazing.

 

[drlaurafsu]

They look like the Williams Sonoma ones from a couple of years ago. We have both sets
