Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[disneygrandma]

Just tried calling Dining, and was told that the wait was more than 30 mins. If I knew they were booking for Rebel Hangar/Backlot Cantina I would wait. However, don't have the time to wait that long this morning just to hear that nothing's new on it yet. I have a lot to do before leaving the house. Wish I would have tried right at 7 when they opened. Did anyone get thru this morning?

I've not kept up with the thread as much as I had in past years, so this may have been covered. Anyone know why JAT will not be signing autographs this year?

no one knows for sure. This year he's also hosting Behind the Force Rebels so I'm thinking that he would want to have some down time?

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

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

London? That's great for those over the pond. But I'm ready for another Orlando one!!

I've posted this elsewhere, so it may be duplicate for some. Youse Guys Moichendise is selling Marvell instead of Star Wars merchandise.

Resort refillable mugs have gone back to one price and length of stay (14 day use) only. They are $16.XX.

"check back later" :'(

I think the music played before it's tough to be a bug is hilarious but I don't understand why they would put it in the loop of waiting music on the phone lines

"check back later" :'(

thanks for checking...I feel they are waiting for the announcement on the DPB

Thanks for being the first to call today! So....did you get the feeling they meant to check back later today....or later this week?

Wow, no more option to activate mugs for shorter than length of stay?

So much to buy, so little money *sigh*....though I am super excited for the Ewok plush At least I think that's what it was, had to watch with the sound of because DS4 is watching his Miles from Tomorrowland

I always say I'm not going to buy plush, it collects dust, I have no use for it, etc... but that Chief Chirpa...

It is indeed an Ewok & it's probably coming home with me, too.

Nope.

Slightly OT, but we have had some SW Celebration talk here so I thought I'd post anyway... Any idea when they announce dates for next year? DD8 and DS10 have been LOVING the live feed and are asking about going. This year it coincides with their spring break, and we might consider it if it does next year as well...

Last night at the Closing Ceremony it was announced that the next Celebration will be July 15-17 in London. The 2017 Celebration will return to Anaheim, but exact dates have not been announced yet. It may be in April again, or it may be any other month of the year, lol. I personally would like to see it in the fall....not so close to SWW. We leave for home today and then leave for Florida in 3 weeks. Not that there can be "too much" Star Wars for my girls.....but a bit of breathing room would be nice.....

I'm waiting for the girls to wake up and then we start driving home from Celebration....it has been great fun, but exhausting!

And even though we have many, many lightsabers, I see 2 new doubles coming home with us. Oh and those lightsaber bat and balls too!
