Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

For you AP and off siters. fp are available for all the shows May 15 and 16. It looks like demand isn't that high

I have a question about the fp for shows... are those in addition to the fp for rides, or would it replace one of your ride fp?

It replaces your tier 1 FP+, so you coudn't prebook a show and TSMM or RNRC. It's kind of a bummer. That's why so many people wanted the Feel the Force package, especially the Deluxe. It gives you all of the shows without having to use any ride FP+.

Lol I can imagine trying to decide between having a "Han Solo Shot" or "Greedo Shot" first...decisions

I think you just came up with the shirt for me to make for that day ! NICE !! Thanks

 

[mmafan]

$15 is Disney's "free"

AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

 

[mmafan]

so what are we asking reservations in the morning for??????????

 

[tinkerpea]

I am happy with the packages for getting out of the crowd and having some extras, but those who are considering them with elderly party members should know that for the parade and dessert party/fireworks there will basically be NO place to sit. So if having the option for a seat is necessary, the person who needs to sit may have to provide their own seating like a wheelchair, or possibly leave the area.

I would not have thought that I would be able to go to a live presentation by Luke Skywalker himself with no real fuss, but I did that last year at SWW. This year I get to see Emperor Palpatine! I'm looking forward to that.

I know I'm a good few pages out now, but wanted to add that we did frozen package in the summer with my 82yr old mum, they allowed us to park the Ecv next ro the table at the dessert party, Infact even though we was not at the start of the que,the cm brought it in and allowed my mum to go sit on it before anybody else went in, then we just joined her, we got front row table, and it worked perfectly as people didn't have to manoeuvre around her.

 

[tinkerpea]

I just want to see the price and hoping she brings it to SWW. I'll buy it there

Do the prices stay the same? If purchased in disney at sww?
I really hope they have the logo top and dress with darkside hearts! I'd buy it now but have no idea of sizing I know some vary depending on make!
And since I'm in uk I can't just send it back...
I'm already getting a couple of the sale tops but I don't mind if the jumper is a but big, or the top that's only $12 doesn't fit as well.

 

[lovethattink]

I know. I looked into it, but it doesn't line up with DS's Spring Break next year. There's one the week before and one the week after

That stinks! So close.

Seeing the Star Wars trailer and just watching this youtube of Vader and Storm Troopers dancing to MC Hammer have made my ENTIRE day.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Wait what's going on now? I'm trying to read backwards but can't figure it out!

 

[pookadoo77]

I started around page 414 and went forward, possible new rebel hangar lounge opening during sww.... maybe adr start in the a.m............

 

[Felipe4]

@OhioStateBuckeye, possible "cantina" opening this year. It'll be called the "rebel hangar" or the "backlot express lounge". Reservations start soon and are $15. $15 is fuzzy on what it gets you, but there will be themed food and drink (and alcoholic beverages too).

Thanks! This looks like a good consolation prize for me since I missed out on the deluxe feel the force.

What time does the reservation phone number open tomorrow?

 

[Smschmiesing]

7 am, I think. But no guarantee that it will be available right then. Also might be able to find in MDE.

The cast member I spoke with earlier said it was "listed" but not "loaded"

 

[mamadragona]

You are probably right. But they might consider reservations for crowd control purposes, BOG-style, especially if there are characters there. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I think this might be closer only because I just was checking out menus and the wording under Backlot is the same 14.99 and under; same for Starring Rolls too.

Who knows. Now I wish I'd planned multiple days at SWW. So that I could do everything.

Same thing for us with Frozen dessert party...my step dad will an ECV this time and I'm hoping its basically like the Frozen one for FtF package

Maybe they don't have a price point since it's not loaded and they are going by the regular Backlot price ? So it may not $14.99, it could $xx.xx until it's available we may not know

I can't tell you how much fun it has been to share the info on the rebel hangar lounge with all of you. A few weeks ago I knew nothing of SWW and now I am part of a great group of people who help feed my need to plan. Its been so much fun to go through the process with you all.

The same sentiment for me. I really enjoyed this group and really wish I was on it when y'all found out about the Feel The Force Deluxe Premium as I missed the opportunity to book that because I waited until the Disney blog post it.

This is an awesome community!
