Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

There is a FTF package for 4 available on June 14th if anyone is looking.

I've been eying the package on June 14 for about a week, but I just can't see that it is worth the cost. I may end up regretting passing it up.

Wow, I haven't been on in a few days, and it jumped from 380's to 445! Hope I didn't miss anything too important!

what even in the hell is the rebel lounge?? You guys, can't fit anything else in, must for this in..maybe. maybe not. WHAT IS IT??

I need to calculate the number of booze drinks, cupcakes, and ice creams I'll need to eat to break even....

Last year we traded Disney infinity discs to the jawas. I got a puzzle piece in return.

Lunch would be very good. Then I could go on my second day which is a lot less packed.

I think the rebel hanger/ backlot cantina will still be in the evening but I just noticed they pushed back the closing time for backlot express. It could be just to corespond with the park closing times too.

In regard to Jawa trading trinkets............ idea's please!!! I know someone suggested paper clips - anything else?? My son wants to trade with them at breakfast. Also, we did FP the stars of the saga show.......... it says to be there at 2:50 for the 3:30 show........ should we arrive earlier or is 2:50 good?? Thanks!!!

we have a bag ready with some Star Wars kids meal toys, shiny bead necklaces, and big diamond/gem, and some buttons, and yes we are also keeping items kid friendly.

I watched the frozen fireworks from outside and they didn't pump the music. Not sure about sw

That's disappointing. I watched a video on youtube from that spot and it looked awesome. I guess they just synched the music.

Thanks for the heads up, DH is the big Star Wars fan yet I'm the one saying yeah the VIP package looks great! £350 each! Anyone have a clue what time they will go on sale?
Eta just found it it's 8pm gmt +1, 3pm edt, 12pm pdt, seems a really random time for all time zones!

Wow what a weekend baby. Star Wars convention was fun, lots of fun. Figured I'd pop in before I made dinner. I see 34 pages non of which I read , sorry lol. I don't think so but since Tuesday has anything big been announced?

what even in the hell is the rebel lounge?? You guys, can't fit anything else in, must for this in..maybe. maybe not. WHAT IS IT??

The information we have is on the first post. It's not open book yet but should be available to do so this week. No one really knows for sure what it is, it'll be a table service, not accepting. Ddp. I'm thinking more off a lounge than full restaurant menu...and sw beer 1 day cancellation policy

It's the best view of them for sure. You could try and time it out with YouTube. And there's really no one around you, it makes for a neat experience

I'm hoping the next US Celebration will come back to Orlando...maybe 2017?

For what it's worth, the Backlot Express page on the Disney site has been saying 'no hours/times available' for May 15th since the Rebel Lounge stuff leaked, but today it's saying '11-8'. I'm not saying that's the times for the Rebel Lounge, since we've been hearing 4-8 and it's entirely possible Rebel Lounge will listed separately from the regular Backlot Express, just interesting that it went from one status to the other.

However, in my infinite wisdom I didn't think to check if the other restaurants in HS were showing times that far in advance. I know other restaurants in other parks were, but HS may have been a different story, with it being the first day of SWW and all.

Don't know why I am stalking this thread so much for news on the possible, new, dining experience. I have absolutely no room in my plans.....guess its just the fear of missing out on something cool

you could fit it in wherever you had "bathroom break"

Since the Jawas will be trading with guests in line for Theater of the Stars there is a very large possibility that they won't be on Streets of America (only so many Jawas to go around )

I'm not sure they have the capacity to do so, since there aren't usually shows of this type in DHS.

they could pump the music if they wanted to. They have speakers all around the outer area of DHS. When you're camping out for celebrities they turn on the music around 6am
They also used to have nightly fireworks called Sorcery in the Sky until 1998

on hold ^_^ let's see if today is the day..
