Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Still not seeing the FastPass options when I try to modify on the website.

But super stoked for the announcements! I am a little bummed to miss Peter Mayhew, but the stars have aligned for the one show we were planning on for the boys! Woo hoo! And the celebrity I thought my oldest and DH might be interested in meeting as well. So all's well on that front! Now to solve the mystery of FtF. I saw someone asked about it on the blog post.

Yes, I think she mentioned she asked while I typed my response! (I was also texting DH about Jeremy Bulloch being there and his response was "Sweet!" Should I break it to him now how early he'll have to be there?)

So looking at my plans, I have an ADR for Mama Melrose at 3:50. If we go to the stars of the saga show at 3:15, we're probably not going to make it to MM for 3:50 then?

So I'm glad they released this, but does any of it qualify as a big announcement?

Just got off the phone with the Rob from the VIP tour line who was super chatty. I love him. To answer my original question, the tour will include 2 shows and a FP will be provided for a 3rd show. If there is a 4th show, we'll have to use our own FP for it.

And info that should make everyone else happy - They should be making an announcement in "about a week" that will include celebrities for each weekend, the shows for each weekend, the Feel the Force package, officially announcing the VIP tour, and a "major announcement." He said that's how it is listed on their info: in quotes "A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT". It will all be on the Parks Blog when it's announced.

And just randomly if anyone else has food allergies/restrictions - almost all the TS restaurants are coming out with new menus this summer that will be tailored to different allergies, such as a gluten free menu, a nut free menu, etc, so the chef doesn't have to come out each time. I'm sure the chef still can if you need something super special, but it should make ordering easier for the most common allergies.

Looks like Rob knew what he was talking about minus the FtF info. I wonder if that is still being worked on due to the other item he mentioned re: different menus, etc.

So... slightly disappointed that I still don't get Warwick Davis, but was expecting it since he seems to always come during the earlier weekends. Very, very excited about Frank Oz. Will definitely get a FP+ for that. Looking forward to Taylor Gray from Rebels, too, but probably won't need a FP for that.

So SoTS for week 2 will only be Warwick Davis? Aren't there usually 2 guests from the movies each weekend?

My errand working mojo seemed to help with some of the announcements. I also have stuff scheduled Monday if that makes the dessert party / FtF happen faster.

Clearly they're saving a spot for Harrison.
