Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Cluelyss]

The shows aren't showing up in my fast passes? The people who are seeing them, are you just going to the update screen?

Not showing for me either? Maybe only if you select "new" fastpass? I have stuff already scheduled so can't test that theory though.

 

[Tltorrez]

Show description says JAT is hosting Behind the Force. That's a change, right?

Where did you get this? I'm not seeing it posted.

 

[CinderElsa]

Holy crap! When do I need to start waiting in line for Frank Oz?

I'd start tent shopping if I were you.

 

[Skywise]

Yeah but... where's Harrison Ford?!

If I recall, Mark Hamill didn't get added to the list until a few weeks after the initial announcement, right?

 

[yulilin3]

Frank Oz and Ian McDiarmid are HUGE!!! Not sure if they'll be signing though. I guess we still need the announcement from DPB

 

[yulilin3]

VIP package
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/star-wars-weekend-vip/

 

[AThrillingChase]

For those having trouble with FP+ shows - they are only showing up if you use the website and do new FP. It will not work via mde or if you try to change experience. Edit - THIS IS ONLY TO SEE THEM. haha. I didn't want to incite panic. They are not available to book yet.

I will now commence refreshing every 15 seconds attempting to get SOTS for the Emperor.

 

[Cluelyss]

They snuck the VIP tour in there too.....but no mention of FTF

 

[AuntieK]

Hm, I don't see a FtF package...

 

[Cluelyss]

event site updated
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/star-wars-weekend/

Event site now back to the old info. Think we may have gotten a sneak peek before they meant it to go live!

 

[mexxican]

No mention of dessert party in the VIP details?

VIP package
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/star-wars-weekend-vip/

It just mentions VIP viewing of the fireworks and preshow but doesn't mention a dessert party for VIP...why wouldn't they mention that if there was a dessert party?
