Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I am going to cancel 2 Premium FtF packages for Friday, May 15th. We decided to stick with the VIP tour. I plan on canceling tomorrow, left the reservation number at home. I am not sure exactly how to coordinate but if you are interested maybe we could work something out.

Premium or deluxe? If the are deluxe I definitly want them!!

Well I just managed to get three of the regular premium packages for friday June the 12th. I had been hoping to get the deluxe packages but it isn't to be so I guess. If anyone is dropping out of that day please let me know so I have a chance. I'll keep calling regardless, though. I already knew more than the person taking the reservations anyway...

Last year's "A Conversation with Mark Hamill" did JAT ask different questions each day? Anyone attend multiple days and found it worthwhile? Thinking about Frank Oz and should I try to attend more than just the Friday show. Btw we are taking our DD8 and am hoping he does a few Muppets impressions.

I went Saturday and Sunday and while some of the questions were the same, Mark Hamill was a great storyteller, I could've listened him for another hour. It was definitely worth going both days. I guess with Frank Oz it depends on how talkative he is, I bet he has tons of stories

@Itinkso posted this on the roll call thread. We are all wearing I'm Celebrating buttons and writing our Garrisons names according to weekend:
The SWW Garrisons have been named!

SWW I: Guinea Pig DISers
SWW II: DISers Strike Back
SWW III: Revenge of the DISers
SWW IV: Phantom DISers
SWW V: DISers Take Oz

Please stop by the "I'm Celebrating" Button Cart located at the front of the park(s) and pick up your FREE button. The CM located there will have a Sharpie for you to proudly add in your DISer Garrison!

You guys are killing me. I went offline to make some LGMHs and you invent themes for the weekends! I can't keep up.

Ok, I'm posting the LGMHs that I made. My computer time is up for the day (stupid concussion!) but I'll try to make new ones with the above names in the next few days.

DD is 15 so she'll fit right in with the 14 year old DDs - FYI she can / will talk anyone's ear off about Star Wars (also Avatar, the Hobbit/ LOTR, Pokémon, Disney in general etc).

I also have a 14 year old DD. Her obsession is Pokemon. It'd take the sting off the super early arrival if she found a group of like mindeds to talk to

What is an LGMH?

 

[Tltorrez]

Ok, I'm no DISigner but here are the LGMHs that I made. Most of them have room at the bottom to add your DIS name.

I plan to print some out on cardstock or photo paper and glue them back to back. Then I usually laminate them and put them on a key ring or jump ring.

There are three different PDF sheets. I'm posting JPG images here so you can see what they look like but to print them you'll want to download the PDF file from Google Drive.


Download Sheet 1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I5yufNJ51SQ0dKS2RyYzVRQTA/view?usp=sharing

Download Sheet 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I5yufNJ51SQVJXSkl5NzZKYkU/view?usp=sharing

Download Sheet 3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5I5yufNJ51SM2ZBNkJ0OFZDWkE/view?usp=sharing

Let me know if there are any issues.

EDIT - Any ideas why the pics aren't working? I haven't had issues with them before but it's been a while since I posted pics.

Lime Green Mickey Head - the unofficial symbol of the DISboards. Used to identify other DISers in the parks.

 

[pixeydust]

If anyone is considering canceling deluxe premium FtF for 2 on weekend 1 please pm - I have called every 30 min since Monday morning (heavy sigh)!

Ahhhh, OK. Sorry, I'm relatively new to the boards, I've been here under a year, so I have never seen anything about the Mickey heads before. Thanks!!

look for us on the first Friday - we're usually there super early and up near the turnstiles (last year we were right at the front) - we tend to aim for the turnstiles that are fairly far to the right although if they have an Ahsoka Tano banner up again we'll probably be next to it (DD is a big fan). You can see her picture (and the same outfit she'll be wearing this year) a few pages back - picture with DD, Luke, Leia, and the droids

Jedi Mickey, Leia Minnie, Trooper Donald, and Darth Goofy began their rotations at 8:00 in Darth Mall.

According to easywdw they didn't start until 9am last year. These 4 are my highest priority. I wanted to try to get at least one set before the parade but I don't want to plan it if they're not going to be out until 9.

Yulilin has stated in a previous post that they won't be in the Mall and will be near the event stage.

We were in the Mall last year by 8:15 in the morning and they were already meeting.

I have them listed in the first Post of the Roll Call - look for them at the bottom of the post.

 

[Tltorrez]

For all weekend V people: this was the schedule last year when they had 5 shows at Premiere Theater, this years schedule should look something like this, with maybe the times being pushed back half an hour because of the parade being earlier this year. Just for planning purposes while we wait fo an official schedule and fp to open for the shows
Behind the Force 1:30pm
A Conversation with Mark Hamill 3pm
Stars of the Saga 4:30pm
A Visit to the Maul 6:15pm
Obi Wan and Beyond 7:45pm

Kenny the Pirate is showing a full schedule. Not sure if he knows something or he's just guessing.
