Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

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?

Are you trying to change attractions or the park? You can't split between two parks.

 

[DisHeels]

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.

Oh ok that's why. Our FPs are Epcot on Saturday and MK on Sunday. Rats!

If you cancel your fastpasses and reschedule at HS, you should be able to do them.

Depending on your current fastpasses and the timing (if you are planning on doing everything at MK and Epcot in the morning), you may not need FPs at those parks. Not sure of your touring style, but you can get a lot done if you arrive early and hit the big attractions first.

I think you weekend V folks got lucky. I don't think they intended the shows to be Tier 2. Hang onto them.

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

Nope, just called. CM was familiar with the restaurant, but got the "no additional information available at this time" speech.

They'll have to digitally rip them out of my cold, dead hands. Or, y'know, chop them off with a light saber.

completely agree...has anyone checked if they are all still available in Tier 2?

That's why I took screenshots of each day

I should mention that we have FtF Deluxe for Friday so I would see all the shows that day. Just trying to figure out if I can do the other 2 days. Thanks for everyone's help!

Weekend III is

 

[yulilin3]

I wonder if it is a glitch or are they just leaving it like that?

I think it is a mistake since it is not working for weekend 1
At least I could not get it to work then no matter how hard I tried.

But I was successful for weekend 2.

UGH why oh why didn't I splurge and get a campsite?!?!?! No SotS on the 16th still and by the time my 30 window for AP rolls out for weekend 5 I will out of luck darn and drat.

On the up side the BF asked me to find an SW shirt I wanted cause I got him a cool one.....yeah I um may have sent him 28 oops

This is strange. I have SOTS, Obi-Wan and Beyond and Rockin' Roller Coaster all booked on Sunday, May 17th. I wonder what the issue is? It does make me think this could all be a glitch....

Not just weekend V...I'm weekend IV and switched mine out, too.

 

[jtowntoflorida]

I just realized...where is Mesaboy today? If this is a glitch and he misses out on the window of opportunity, that will suck.

 

[yulilin3]

@mesaboy2 there's a Star Wars Weekends Glitch

 

[yulilin3]

I thought that we were basically done...and then I remembered....Rebel Hangar...Good...good...
