Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

I make some money by taking care of my niece and a friends baby (he's 16 months old) and I'm so happy they get easily distracted with TV and toys and I have barriers to keep the dangerous stuff away...I've been completely glued to the computer for the last couple of weeks.

Heard a rumor that might be Brienne from Game of Thrones! If so, she definitely has better aim.

Ok, so isn't Backlot Express where Yulilin watches the parade from? Isn't it the biggest QS place at HS? Are they really going to close it for lunch and just have it open for a few hours in the evening? That could seriously affect the crowds at the other (already overcrowded) QS places at HS?!?!

Even just using parts of it seems like it'd take away a lot of room (and then create two pretty small places). I really don't understand how it's going to work, but I'll pay anyway, lol!!

I read somewhere the other day that with Disney owning Marvel and Star Wars, they should just buy the rights to Futurama yet and make this their new logo:

no, this is where I go after the parade, for lunch.
Backlot Express is big and they could easily break it down into 2 areas, especially after 4pm. It's super busy from noon until around 3pm then it dies down a bit.

they are advertising this as a lounge. Not a QS restaurant. They are different in Disney speak. A lounge in general would serve small plates and not full meals. and no children's menu.

Keeping an eye out to see if it becomes bookable because I'll book it for 4 days.

 

[lovethattink]

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)

So like BOG lunch.

Might be because of alcohol they chose that name?

Look at the other restaurants at the studios. The prime time cafe, and Brown derby have lounges. I imagine it will be just like those.

Edit: spelling

Impatience prompted me to call again. Nothing yet. Still not available to book. No word on when from supervisor.

My husband already wants to book a flight.

I'm curious about this Rebel Lounge, but frankly I don't think I squeeze one more thing in our SWW day.
Sounds like it could be awesome, though!

I know, I know ... we need to do more than one day!

I doubt it, may quick service restaurants at WDW serve beer. We don't have any idea whether this one will include a full bar or will just serve beer. It's a pop up, so we'll have to wait for better reports. It's not even listed on the website at all yet.

Tune Inn Lounge and Brown Derby Lounge are listed but they don't take reservations.

Ok talked to cm. take it what's it's worth. She said it was suppose to be up on 15th but didn't. She said tomorrow. 4 to 9 times like bog. You get a table at a certain time. How r they going to get people to leave though. People will vamp out I think?

Take the info for what it's worth. Just the messenger.

That costume deserves a write up! My 14yr old ds would like to know what type of material she used for the armor.

DH just said "let's call" and I told him everyone else had be doing it and I was monitoring the situation FYI Disney (if you are listening) - we're ready when you are!

craft foam. Very easy to work with and lightweight

okay just got off the phone with a good reservation agent. He read me the same email that was posted from the travel agent which is the email they sent all the reservations people. According to his current internal chat square for cast members it said it should be available on the 15th that they were awaiting the release time no release time yet.... anytime now.......
