Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Yes. You heard that right. The guy who made a career out of one character screwed up the character name.

He didn't screw it up. At the very beginning when they displayed the hashtags, they had C3PO listed as CP3O - he was poking fun of that screw up.

1. Yes, sign ups during SWW is at Indiana Jones. There are two "villains" Vader and Maul or Ventress. You don't know in advance who they will be fighting
2. Yes, 4 shows in total for PMC. Go to JTA first, PMC is popular but not as popular as JTA.
3. SotS, Ewoks, Rebels and Obi Wan is the order from most popular to least

Thanks yulilin3 you're the best!!!!

You've never done restrooms on NYE

Hah! We were in Epcot NYE last year. My poor wife and daughter had to wait at least 20 minutes.

 

[Monykalyn]

Those are GREAT! Where dd you order them from?

magicyourband-lets you customize with pictures, colors etc. I thought I had posted the yoda cover and Haunted Mansion cover too-will get to that tomorrow

 

[Nhebron]

Has anyone noticed whether they sell Star Wars themed scrap booking kits during SWW?

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

if there are random roaming characters that could draw a crowd that might hang out to see who shows up. Also might be a long line to get in - everyone would want to see it....

I had forgotten about that but for us it wouldn't change it. I keep thinking it would kind of be like Quarks at the old Star Trek the Experience in Vegas. It was fun to see roaming Klingons but really didn't make us linger since there was other stuff we wanted to do too!

Are these actual stickers or vinyl cling? Thanks

They did years ago, maybe 3 years ago, but I haven't seen them since

 

[lovethattink]

I hope Galactic Gathering folks get a sneak peak of the Rebel Lounge. Though I'd doubt it since it ends at 3.

 

[yulilin3]

I have a feeling that if they leave the Rebel Hangar as a walk up we won't see anything about it on the Disney Parks Blog. They will try to keep it a secret.
Also the characters that will be there might not be meetable, maybe they'll just walk around behind a rope. I have very little hope that I'll get any information today at Dhs but I'll try my best

 

[lovethattink]

This could be like the villain M&G that didn't happen at Fairytale Hall. Could be something put out there, but then rethought.

 

[SalmonPink]

The fact that the information refers to the characters passing through could indeed mean that you only see glimpses of them, rather than being able to actually meet them. Like, maybe an open but roped off doorway that a stormtrooper appears at every so often, looking menancing as he glances around for Rebel scum - that sort of thing, you can see them but can't interact.

 

[msmama]

Seems like maybe the lounge could be a place for characters to go during afternoon rain showers too. The roaming ones could roam inside for a bit while it's raining.

Yulilin - have fun today!!

 

[disneygrandma]

Anyone calling Dining this morning? Unfortunately, I won't be able to call today. On the way out the door now.

 

[Metz172]

Can't wait to hear what Yulilin finds out today.!

 

[DisneyCrazy123]

I called this morning and got the same info as yesterday. Rebel Hangar is in the system but not available for booking and they don't know when it will be available. The CM did put me on hold while she checked with a supervisor.

 

[Disney Diva Mom]

I called this morning too. Had the CM check with a supervisor. The info from yesterday stands. The details now say that there are no reservations required and it will be walk up. Ought to be interesting.

 

[OZMom]

I'm having some serious remorse over canceling our FTF package And of course, now they are all booked and I will not get one. It doesn't really fit into our schedule and DH doesn't want to spend the money for the few parts of it we would actually use (basically the dessert party and the show. He won't drink the adult drinks they offer and we will have just finished dinner / dessert. And we have a FP for SOTS.) but I just keep thinking about that mysterious 15 minute time difference for the fireworks and how it's probably something wicked cool that we're going to miss

 

[aggiejnny]

I called this morning too. Had the CM check with a supervisor. The info from yesterday stands. The details now say that there are no reservations required and it will be walk up. Ought to be interesting.

I hope they change it back and allow reservations I think it will be such a mess

This is the most ridiculous costume I've ever seen.

I'm still getting caught up here (so sorry if someone else mentions it in the next 30 pages LOL!), But I saw quite a few folks running the SW 10K and half marathon in that costume in January. There was even a group of people running the half all in Hoth costumes. It was glorious. If you scroll down on my race recap, you'll see that group:

(Now back to getting caught up - as you were.)
