Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I'm confused... I just clicked on the livestream to watch the countdown, but it is at 43 minutes right now, which means it will countdown to 12 noon EST. But that's 9am PST, right? I thought the panel was at 10 PST.

Hi there! Not a question about SWW but SW related.... Where can I find Star Wars party goods other than SW Rebels? I want to have a SW theme for my hubby's birthday dinner where I will surprise him with the FtF DPP and that we will be leaving on his birthday (two days sooner than he thinks our trip begins). Thanks!!

Yililin already posted Amazon. I accidentally waited too long to order stuff before my son's birthday so he got rebels stuff - which he was happy about, but not what I wanted. Party City told me they don't stock much because "it's not very popular." Apparently this thread has made me not understand what "popular" means to the average person, lol.

For the Her Universe stuff - Can I get the 10% discount for using my Disney Visa? Does Darth's Mall count as one of those places?

Mine says 30 minutes so that's 11 Central and 9 PST.

I'm thinking they will just show the regular awesomeness of it all (lines, set up, costumes,etc) before the big event

I think, not 100% sure, that with the Disney visa you get 10% after spending a certain amount??

I snagged an 8:55pm reservation for Jedi Mickey Hollywood & Vine. Got my confirmation email, and was all set. Now it's showing in MDE as just a regular H&V dinner. My heart sank, as it was tough to get! Did they make a change that I missed?

as long as you are going from May 4th thru June 14th you'll have the Jedi Mickey dinner

I would call and ask. Because I thought all the dinners during the SWW timeframe were Jedi Mickey meals and regular ones resume after SWW?

Ah, thanks. I just found out that I am not going to be able to work from home tomorrow as planned, so I was thinking about going home at lunch today to watch the livestream on my tv, but now I am thinking I should stick here and just hide in a conference room. I don't want to miss anything.

Mine only shows as H&V - same with the breakfast (just SciFi).

I am thinking of picking middle DS up from school early so I don't miss anything! He's done at 11:30 CT so we won't miss too much either way, but still...

Thank you - unfortunately wrong weekend for us

You know I still have one to cancel. I posted it in ITINKSO's thread.

Keep it in the family now. Obviously Jabba's, the Rancor's, or Sleepy's.
