Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Now I have a question - Should I get a FP for Stars of the Saga or An Ewoks Tale? I'm really wanting to see both but not sure which one will be harder to get into.

 

[missthatgator]

We were originally supposed to be going the last weekend but had to switch due to a schedule change at work. It's killing me that now we're missing Frank Oz who is seriously one of my all time heroes

 

[Florida Girl]

Woot.... just changed fastpass it's getting realz,yo

 

[CheshireCrazy]

I was thinking the same thing too about An Ewok's Tale or Stars of the Saga.

 

[ArielRae]

Am I the only one having problems getting on their website?

 

[DisHeels]

Per Disney Shawn - "Neither Frank Oz nor Ian McDiarmid will be participating in autograph opportunities, but you’ll be able to see them in the “Legends of the Force” motorcade and hear from them during celebrity talk shows during their respective weekends."

The segment on characters:

Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunters and More
Feel the power of the Force with some of the most popular Characters throughout the Star Wars saga.

No matter where your allegiance lies, prepare yourself for unforgettable encounters as you come face-to-face with the galaxy’s most popular heroes—and a few of its most fearsome villains too!

Be on the lookout for interstellar Character Greeting opportunities all across the park, including:

• Members of the Rebel Alliance Near Star Tours - The Adventures Continue
• The Dark Side near Darth’s Mall
• Members of the Jedi Council near Mickey Avenue
• Stars of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on the Streets of America
• Disney Pals as Star Wars Stars near the Event Stage
• Star Wars Celebrity Autographs at a new indoor location near Star Tours - The Adventures Continue

Do you expect the Darth Maul M&G to move to the new mall location?

Got my fastpasses booked for S.O.T.S weekend 1 and Ewoks Tale weekend 2!!

One day I will get Frank Oz.

We are AP holders so we cannot book any fast passes yet. What are the chances of Stars of the Saga being available 30 days out? So bummed we may miss some of these shows.

I can't change my FP. I can see the shows but I can't select them

Never mind - crisis averted

At least I won't have to camp out now. Frank Oz is the only one I would have camped out for.

On the same boat. Just posted this on the DPB. Not cool

 

[AThrillingChase]

WHEW I stepped away for a few minutes. But I made it back in time to get FP+ for SOTS on the first day! I took behind the force for Sunday because those were the only two options and I figured that would be harder to get if I decided to see it, than say RnRc.

 

[Metz172]

Can't believe I just got on and in three minutes got my Fast passes for S.O.T.S. It was the easiest thing I booked for the whole trip.

Ditto. This sucks for Warwick Davis. I missed him last year.

Fortunately the FP window hasn't opened for my weekend yet.

Gotta say though that Weekend IV is looking kinda light on guests compared to the other weekends (I wonder if that was where they slotted Freddie Prinze Jr?)

 

[Felipe4]

FRANK OZ. OMG. WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA!

Super psyched now. Also kind of glad there's no autograph with him to get there super early for since the BF doesn't like doing autographs (he finds them awkward).

 

[Candleshoe]

On the same boat. Just posted this on the DPB. Not cool

imo APs should get a 60 day window AND they should get to book 10days worth. I get they don't want APs to book 365 day's worth,
but why should a 10Dmyw get more than an AP.
