Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[slaveone]

So sorry to hear that my errand run did not produce the results we were hoping.....no errands to do tomorrow, so someone else will have to make the sacrifice, lol.

I have to actually do productive work tomorrow so my stalking rate will be lower. Unless I work tonight hmm. The ultimate SWW stalker question is sleep necessary. Maybe I can count it as prepping for the SWW schedules.

The website is down again. This is super fun.

Edit - The Boathouse was up on the website and had a menu listed. But when I clicked it, I got stitch. Now the entire resto is missing.

My daughter and I tried the cookies for May the 4th last year. They looked like my preschooler decorated them. LOL. I was cursing WS because mine looked nothing like the ones on the box!



Oooo, thanks for the tip! I'm not using the WS recipe this year because I thought it wasn't nearly as good as my regular sugar cookie recipe, but my cookies are pretty soft and fluffy so I wasn't sure how the cookie cutters would work. This is a genius idea!

Thanks! My first batch turned out like very sad little blobs LOL. I don't know if I will ever get the decorations right, though.

Oh my gosh. This has been such a stressful day with the planning! You know how sick days have a huge impact at work...pretty sure Disney website down time is even worse!

Not SWW related but interesting.

This evening I got my dog a cookie when I was in the pantry getting a snack for myself.

I turned around and she was sitting there, already in full-on beg, looking at me expectantly. She heard her treat bag rustling, and she knew it was coming, but she knew not when, and she knew not which hand the treat was in.

Normally I mess with her a little, but I looked into her eyes and realized that, at that moment, we truly felt one another's pain.

I just gave her the cookie.

We did. They will tell you that they will select someone during the day...they look for some with a military look/hat on. But they took his contact info and called us midday to let us know. It was great...it was DSs birthday and his friends who had met us there came too. They were so excited to march in the mini parade. They have a photo pass photographer who takes pictures during and after.

Awesome! Thank you for indulging my off topic question! Think we'll have to give it a go! Doesn't hurt to try!

I was in an all day meeting yesterday and could only get away for a few short breaks to check this thread.

Today I have off for a holiday. Was hoping to get some housecleaning done and ready for the Easter Bunny, but I will likely be hanging around here instead......

 

[alafond83]

Good morning - Had to do my now normal morning routine of checking in to see if there is anything new yet. . I got my fingers crossed today.

 

[yulilin3]

I know I've said it before but I'll remind everyone:
last year the FtF was announced April 23rd and the full celebrity list with shows on April 24th. We are right on schedule and I know it's hard to wait, I'm anxiously awaiting information as well.

Didn't someone here post about the star wars Tervis? Are the tervis better then a normal tumbler? I have a thing for travel mugs LOL

DHS official opening time is at 8am with 2 Fantasmic! shows, at 9pm and 10:30pm during SWW (unofficially it opens around 7:30am)

So, if HS "unofficially" opens at 7:30 am, does this mean the ropes are dropped then and people are going to be headed to Jedi Academy sign ups at 7:30?
If so, a 8am breakfast time at H&V would not help and would need a earlier time?
ALL kids wanting to participate in Jedi Academy must be present at sign up, correct?
Also, how much earlier than your breakfast reservation time can you enter the park?
Thanks!! Sorry for all the rapid fire Q's , trying to nail down plans...
