Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Monykalyn]

Oz not showing for me on app. I'm at work - in the ICU - and keep checking my iPad (I'm an RD not RN so no lives in the balance lol) but DAMN you DISNEY for messing with things on a Friday afternoon!!

SOTS just replaced Maul so that was a glitch.
I'm good now OZ and SOTS, awesome!

Loaded question for you @yulilin3 how popular do you think the rebels cast will be for autographs, some weekends it looks like they are top billing out of those signing autographs... my fiance and I don't want to kill ourselves this trip after all the autograph lines we stood in during SWC Anaheim in addition we will be marching this year but still would like to get some signatures.... We figure we will pick up Ashley's at the GG, and maybe get Tiya and Vanessa via regular line up....

def. more popular this year. I would say just to be sure get there by 5:30 and you should be fine. The other thing is that this year people will have actual merchandise for them to sign, but I think 5:30 at the latest to be sure

If the Weekend V FPs are available, I wonder if the Rebel Hangar is available then...

ALSO - @yulilin3, it's possible to copy fast passes from an onsite guest to an AP or offsite guest, right? I was planning to do that for my friend on the 12th. I could try it for you? I have the following schedule:

June 13:
TSMM: 9:35AM -10:35AM
ST: 1:35PM-2:35PM
OZ: 4:40PM-5:05PM

June 14:
ToT: 11:35AM-12:35PM
RnRC: 12:50PM-1:50PM
SotS: 2:50-3:05PM

Rebels is still showing as Tier 1 on May15.

I was afraid you were going to say that.... I was hoping 6 am would be early enough... sigh...

Only if there are FPs available in similar timeframes. Once they're gone, they're gone.

no one really knows and that first Friday will tell us a lot.

Edit: looks like you guys figured it out.

I'm really excited the shows are all tier 2 now. Wondering if it will stay that way.

 

[superrach]

For May 15th I have SOTS and no other show appears as an option even when I try to replace SOTS. Odd!

 

[Music City Mama]

I really didn't think we'd see Frank Oz released today. Glad I decided to check back in. I also can't believe it's Tier 2. I can now officially cross this off my list!

I am experiencing the same thing for May 15th and May 16th.

It's because rebels is still showing up as Tier 1 that day. And Obi Wan is showing sold out.

I was able to do a New FP though and pick up GMR as Tier 1 and SotS again as Tier 2.

 

[yulilin3]

will we hit 500 pages today?

 

[BGparadise]

Yes!!

Got to keep our TSM Fast Pass and get SotS and Frank Oz.

 

[DisHeels]

I'm looking to change my fastpass for Weekend V Saturday and Sunday to the Frank Oz shows. When I try to change just my fastpass it looks like it's trying to change all of them for the day. Is there a way to just change the one? I also went into "update fastpass" but I don't see an option to change the park. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[Monykalyn]

Oz not showing on app. Signed in through full website on iPad and voila- oz is there! Snagged him. Grabbed other shows on June 5&6 bet it's a glitch the shows are tier2. A similar glitch happened to me last year when Epcot started tie ring- my placeholder LWTL became a tier 1(!) and snagged a test track to go with my Soarin' FP.
Was fixed a short time later but I got to keep my 2 tier one FP!

Are you fastpasses currently for Hollywood Studios? If not, you can only change to a different attraction at the park your other FPs are. All three pre-scheduled FPs have to be in the same park.

If your other two are for HS, going into "update fastpass" should be working unless there is a time conflict or the show is not available.

Select the one FP you already have to change. Then hit next- it will ask who in your party to change it for- next- then it should list your options for new FP
