Just a note if this affects anyone, but the DVC member services line was able to process the feel the force reservation pretty quickly when I called in to link it to my reservations.

Did someone say the system is down?????

At the Disney World Offices:

yulilin3 - is the first post all there is with regards to the shows? The DPB post mentions a Star Wars Rebels show and the comment section indicates people can see it as a FP+ option yet I don't see it on your lists....

Yes, that's the Behind the Force Rebels show. All the info is up to date.

I don't know, right now I don't plan on cancelling my FPs since you can't book one for FTF until you check in for the package. And what if the one I want is gone by then.

I kept mine too. Hopefully I will end up with two shows with preferred seating that way. I have a fast pass for SOTS and hoping to get Visit with the Maul as part of the package.

Last year, at one of the first shows, we sat with his wife and daughter. I had asked them if they were flying back and forth and they said they were staying all 5 weeks. He does his work while at Disney.

Warwick Davis was spotted at the pool by several fans.

So do they stay on property?? Not that I'm planning to be a stalker, but seriously…that's pretty cool

That is my plan too!

We are in for the Premium package for June 5th! I called at the same time as friends traveling with us and my cast member had no issues booking, while hers couldn't find it at all so I booked hers for her at the same time.

The only show we want to do is Visit to the Maul. I just don't see my little ones sitting through a bunch of shows, but that will likely hold their interest. Should I cancel my FP for it and bank on getting in with the Premium package and get another FP for TSMM? Decisions, decisions…

As always, a huge thanks to this thread for all the help. I was out oat the market and saw this when I got home so I still have almost 10 pages to read to catch up, but we are all set and booked! Thank you!

I am booked for the 5th too

 

[Skywise]

I find it kind of amusing so many rushed to book today and none of us are 100% what all is included in each package. Now that's dedication!

MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!

If it helps for the last couple of years I believe they have stayed at AKL...happy stalking

[jennab113]

Just called again and was told they're still under enhancements. Why are some people able to book???????????????????

 

[lvstitch]

Good news is I was able to link my reservation to MDE but there are still no details.

 

[The Sunrise Student]

Couple things.... will Dissers still be meeting up at Yulilin Cantinia on Saturday the 16th?!?! while Ms Yulilin is in the FtF DP

Second because of our weird schedule, now that we know when we are Marching and know when our FtF packages are, the only sure day BF and I know we will be at the Yulilin Disser meetups is Sunday May 17th we plan to be over at the Backlot Express for 10 am and stay through after the parade, chat and eat lunch

If you're at Echo Lake on the 16th for fireworks I can come chat for a while before checking in for dessert.

I was consistently getting that too but was just able to book. I don't know why the mixed messages but keep trying! And - the days I had previously been told had no availability both had it now.

Heh... sounds like they're having problems more like this:

I would think that they will just adjust standby so that it isn't possible for FtF purchasers to get closed out of any shows. that's probably why you have to pick at 10 am. so even if every single FtF purchaser chooses SOTS everyone will still get in. And fewer stand by guests.

That's the way I would do it anyway if I was charging $69 per head.

What happened last year? Did FtF-ers get closed out of stuff?

Just booked 5/23!!
