Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

That was me. Yes, they do that same sign in thing on the website and the app. It is a sizable list, but our cable is not on it. I have contacted them, and they are "hoping" to be added. Shrug. They have not had HBO GO, etc either. Just not big enough I guess.

try tube+-hope the link works. Word of warning though - be sure you have good ad blockers. My daughter set me up with 2 good blockers and I have had no problems watching nearly anything off the tube+

Are people getting the days they wanted for the VIP Tours? I am curious how in demand they are. It would be disappointing to plan that you will do one and not get it. Thanks

When I talked to the VIP guy a week ago, he said 40 people per day and that they were at about 50% capacity already.

Thanks. That's not as bad as I thought it would be. I figured they were close to being gone. However, it's possible that certain days/weekends are already gone due to specific celebrities. It sounds like this year anyway, if you called in pretty soon after it was released by Disney or when the boards released info, then you had a decent chance.

Theres also an R2D2 one. These were at my local walmart

Thanks. Previous posts said 40, but that may just be per group/tour guide. They may have multiple tours per day of 40 people max each.

I'm not going this year We just went to Disney last month. I am starting the thought processes for next year or 2017. I was curious if people were getting choices that worked. It would be a bummer to book air, hotel, and ADRs 180+ days out, and then find out that the weekend you are there isn't available. It would require a lot of rejiggering of plans. I guess you just have to plan for it both ways: doing or not doing the tour.

.

Remember we had super early access because of these boards. I've had mine booked for probably close to a month now. We were also privy to the special booking phone number which means when we call we get someone who actually knows something rather than the tour office who days they are not booking yet. So these boards are invaluable for info!!

That said I was going weeks 1 and 2 no matter the celebs because that's what worked for me!

Character locations are listed. Doesn't sound like any inside Darth's Mall?

I posted this on "June cancelled" thread too but thought I would put on here as well. Thanks!

I need to cancel, please PM me to coordinate. I would like to cancel this by tonight to tighten up my ADRs before FP selection. Hope this helps someone.

Could this mean the Rebels characters will be in the mall? Or just in the parade like last year?

Has anyone been gotten Fastpasses for the weekend of June 12 yet? I'm an AP and have a resort reservation. For some reason, I'm able to book fastpasses for regular attractions, like Toy Story Mania, through June 13 (as a side note, I thought this was odd, since it's more than 60 days out). Anyways, none of the SWW shows are even visible when booking fastpasses that weekend. I, too, apologize if this question has already been answered. Thanks!

The bolded part is very strange. We too have AP's, have reservations that begin 6/13 and we cannot make fp+ selections as of yet since it's more than 60 days out. Why you are able to is a mystery to me.

There isn't a number posted that I found in the first post in this thread. There's a link to the Disney website to book, which when you follow it gives this number: "For booking, please call (407) WDW-TOUR or (407) 939-8687."

When I booked early on (after it was released only to those who booked before -- yet they sold the new package to you even if you hadn't done it before), the number I called was 407 934-7973. Not sure if this number is still active for booking this event or not.

you now have to call the number on the WDW link. The original number is not available to book SWW VIP package

That's a shame -- that team seemed VERY knowledgable about the package.
