Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Arich01]

It's storming here in NW FL today, like all day storms, so we are having a Star Wars movie marathon and middle DS and I are making the Star Wars jello jigglers. I've also starting getting our second set of SW shirts set up to make. I need to order some more vinyl, but I think I have enough to get the two younger ones done. Just have to wash the shirts so they're ready to be vinyled!

I'm in NW FL too! We did SW movies last weekend, the same jello jigglers, and SW kraft mac n cheese! My ds and his friend LOVED it!

@houseful of boys - what did you use to decorate your Vader band? that is awesome looking!

Considering the Premium pkg now for the 31st...

Would love to get an ADR at the new Rebel Hangar for dinner on the 30th then. Does anyone know if it will take the Dining Plan?

i very much doubt that it will take ddp simply because it is a lounge. No lounge takes ddp.

good point...but most don't take ADRs either...

I honestly think the only reason the rebel hangar is happening is due to how fast star wars dining sold out this year. They've talked about such an experience off and on for years but this is really the first time it ever has even hit dining computers.

Small world! The weather here has been crazy lately. I am over the rain! I think my oldest is most excited about the movie marathon, but he enjoys playing with the middle and introducing him to SW. He does get annoyed sometimes when he has to answer questions though. He forgets the middle doesn't have the movies memorized yet!

Tell him to give him time. All good padawans eventually learn their lessons.

Yes I am over the weather too! So many nights I have dinner planned to cook on the grill and it gets foiled by the darn weather! Sadly, my son has to answer MY questions, lol! I've always been a fan of SW, but I don't have the movies memorized either Honestly, it's really fun to watch them all as a family though in anticipation of our SWW trip!!

Not in FL, but so over the weather in TN too. I think we are growing mold from all this rain. ️

Bottlecaps. Trinkets from dollar store. Pressed pennies. Last year a friend took a bunch of coke bottle caps from 2 liters spray painted them silver and then let his son make droids out of them since jawas sell droids.

I think you're getting all the rain we've been getting too. I guess I can't complain too much, it is keeping the temperature from getting really hot

This all sounds so similar to our house (GA/TN line). We have had a lot of SW movie time & light saber duels in the house with the days of rain we've been dealing with. It made me smile when I heard my DS (10) tell his two 5 year old sisters- "You have a lot to learn my young padawans". He finally agreed to play house with them as long as they could be a Jedi family.

Depressing, isn't it?

Yulilin, while I'm thinking about it... Whatever happened to the Studios Central website? I remember it used to be a pretty good resource for SWW info.

I have some old burger King droid toys. One is a vulture droid and the other is a naboo thing that shoots water.

I want to trade them something that they can pass along to some kid and make their day magical.

Matt moved up north a couple years ago and now he only post once in a while.Maybe I should take over?

I have a 4:25 H&V on 5/29 for 4 that I am going to cancel (found a later time). Will hold for a few days, if anyone is interested in coordinating please let me know!

I have a party of 3, and we are interested.

Just a quick public shout-out to poster @Cluelyss who was gracious enough above to offer their reservation to another DISer family. Transfer worked flawlessly.

Thanks so much!

We also take stuff that we think other kids will be interested in. I don't know what the Jawas start the day out with, but they do trade things they're given by kids as the day goes along. So just think of stuff other kids would like. We do fake rings (like what you get at the dentist), bouncy balls that have glitter in them, fake pirate coins, stuff like that that's shiny or sparkly but appealing to kids.

 

[BobaFettFan]

I like the quarter machine toy rings for trade idea!
