Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I can't seem to find the estimated times of the SWW shows for weekend 5. I think it has been posted a few times, but I haven't had any luck searching for it. I want to make an ADR when it goes live and I really hate making an ADR when I don't know when the show times are going to be.

Cm knew exactly what I was talking about. I mentioned a new SW themed dining in the Backlot Express, and she immediately came back & said "Yes, the Rebel Lounge". However, when she looked in the system, it was not yet available to book. She said that it was suppose to be, and she checked with her mgr to see if there was any updated news as to when. And of course, there wasn't. She said it could be any time. Her own experience with new dining options, is that she could check one time & nothing, and then later in the day it would be there.

All times are listed in the first post.

A Conversation with Frank Oz 3pm
SotS: 4:30pm
Visit to the Maul: 6:15pm
Obi Wan and Beyond 7:45pm

Maybe next time. Back to sleep!

I can't take it! Please Disney take my $$ and let us all book this!

 

[AuntieK]

Booking for FtF opened a little before 10 AM. I remember because Yulilin posted that the CM told her to call back at 10 AM. I had a meeting scheduled for 10 AM so I tried around 9:45 and the CM was able to book it. I'm in the same situation today. Mon - Wed I'm traveling so I really hope today is the day for this one.

So does it look like $14.99 cover charge plus food/drink as additional charge?

no one knows. It sounds like the items inside are $14.99 and under. So I'm thinking we just make reservation and they take the cc for the cancellation policy ($10)

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Nobody has said anything officially. The thread was speculating based on the wording of the travel agent announcement. I don't believe there will be a cover charge. Personally I still do not really believe there will be reservations. A reservation system means they are able to estimate how long it will be before customers leave. In a lounge that cannot be estimated. I suppose they could have a time limit.

So glad they haven't started taking reservations yet this morning. I'm on the subway into work right now and it would have been the longest 20 minutes of my life had this been live and I couldn't call.

I also was unsuccessful

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.

Just an FYI - the regular "wheelchair" area for parades usually includes some kind of seating for people with walkers/canes. I know in MK it's low walls. In Epcot there are benches.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

The area for the FTF parade viewing does not have anything to sit on. There may be a fence to lean against but anyone who goes back there to lean on it will very likely not be able to see much of the parade. That's if it's the same setup as last year.

Thank you for posting this again. I looked at the first post before posting my question and when I didn't see it I assumed it wasn't there because it isn't official yet. I knew I had read this a few times, but I wasn't sure which page it was on. I have now wrote down the times in my planner so I won't forget again!

 

[xxpunkstar6xx]

Another question is, is the rebel hanger going to be available just like the other dining meals all week long or only durning the weekend? Hummmm.

I don't want to post anything for Weekend V until we have an official schedule. This depends of Ray is doing his Visit to the Maul. If he doesn't then the schedule will look the same as weekends II-IV

 

[CheshireCrazy]

Thanks everyone for this thread. My coworkers think I've been really busy at work when in truth, I've just been "researching" my trip.

Between this, sniping ADRs and Star Wars Celebration, my productivity has been at zero.

 

[Monykalyn]

Alright I am going to try to get some work done today. I actually have to go into my paying job (at this point it is paying for my Disney addiction) but I am bringing in my iPad and CC.
Still nothing on MDE-and I checked before I got my coffee!

Went to happy hour(s) with friends last night and family was watching A New Hope when I got home-stayed up much too late watching that...is it bad that I know each scene by the music? The new digital style on TV with high resolution made that movie look new again-it will be very hard to knock Episode IV off my fave SW movie throne. Thank goodness I have an intern to do the hard stuff today

I'm hearing this is a QS with menu items at $14.99 or less. But like BOG, reservations will be required.

A QS would be perfect for us, just need to figure out the best time to book.
