Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

alright, all uploaded. I wrote a description for each picture. If you have any questions let me know
If the temporary stage will be in front of the walls there's no extra space like we were hoping. I'm thinking they will move the walls back a bit.

Yulilin - we aren't doing any of the packages - so where would you advise is the best (shaded) place to watch the parade from? We've been twice, once we sat on the stones in front of the bust, the second pretty much in front of the hat on the right side........ FULL SUN in both places - do we know the parade route this year? As it was different each time we went. Thanks for any advice!!

Thanks to yulilin and others for all the helpful information.

Have read through most of the pages, but may well have forgotten something written before that now applies to my question.

I see FP (if working) for the talks for other weekends, but do not see it for the 5th weekend, June 12. Am I missing something or are they yet to be uploaded?

They haven't released the schedule for weekend V

They haven't released the schedule for weekend V

The parade start by the entrance and goes center stage in front of GMR. The best shaded spot is anywhere on the left side (when facing GMR) You can see this in the pictures.
The only problem is that you must grab a spot at least. One hour and a half before to guarantee you get it

What only one page since last night. People you are all slipping. Lol

so is the parade view for premium better than deluxe premium?

I'd say there both good going on what the areas are they have said,
However I'd say deluxe ups it as it's going to have the chance to.see the parade walk behind then get front view of stage.

Thanks for all the super great investigative work and reports today!

Other than the build a droid and Lightsabers, any suggestions on things in Darths Mall for the 5 to 11 year old set? Do they sell Legos or have any special ones for SWW? Other ideas?

they have a lego station where you can build your own lego...for FREE
last year we did x wings. You can do as many as you want, there's usually no line for it either
We made these and glued hair clips on them to wear

[houseful of boys]

I've been following along and looking forward to our first ever SWW! I don't usually post but worked on my first magicband tonight and am so happy with it, I had to share.

The ears are so cute!!

Question: are the build a droids at Darths Mall basically the same as at DTD and at the shop by ST? I didn't pay that close attention when my son did it last year (after the 3rd one it blurred together-think we have ?4?5? of these things around here between 2 kids(-they had great fun spending their souvenir money). It looks like maybe the hats are different? I know my son was wishing Goofy hat was available (to match his Goofy ear hat).

I need to stop feeding this addiction: took both DD shopping for dresses (one for band playing at HS graduation and one for Junior Honor Society ceremony) and I found stuff that would make good Disney bounding for Yoda...(it is on my bed, with tags still on...)

Great pictures yulilin of your daughters cosplay uniform (this year and years past-wow!). Watching the Celebration stream all day today when home my oldest says she would like to get into that. She is more like what your daughter sounds like-smart, kinda shy/reserved (unless with her friends)-she really surprised me when she said that as people will notice her more! If we get a chance to meet you and your daughter at a Saturday meet up I hope you don't mind if she asks some questions

Love these! I asked her about a fascinator, but I'm not sure she'll have time since she's getting married and going on her honeymoon. I probably should quit while I'm ahead though!

Love the Vader MagicBand @houseful of boys My middle son would love that!

Build a droid is the same experience, they bring new hats sometimes but that's in general nos specific to SWW
thanks for the kind words. No problem asking questions, my DD is actually more comfortable with adults than with kids around her age but she will open up.
