Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I keep checking my MDE to see if all the shows and RRC/Toy Story fast passes truly are there! I'm downright giddy!

There's some shows in Tier 2 on weekend 2 but I don't want to get rid of the one I have to get Toy Story and then find it isn't available.

I am glad to see I am not alone. Just got home and had to check MDE too. It worked for me on May 17th, but not on the 16th.

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

I'm there with you, I wanted to try to get a wristband for Vanessa Marshall the Saturday after the 24 hour day, so we'll go from MK at 6 to DHS. Sounds like we might not make it in time.

 

[The Sunrise Student]

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

And we plan to get there early first Friday. I will report what time we get there and if we get a autograph ticket/FP and wrist band... wondering how many autograph sessions they are going to do.

 

[Candleshoe]

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

I was just able to change my Star Tours for weekend 5 to Oz, so yes they're still Tier 2.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Well I'm pretty pleased with that glitch. Now have a 3:30-4:30 TSMM and then Warwick's show and Obi Wan and Beyond for Saturday of Weekend II (I also enjoy how we do roman numerals for the weekends like the movies instead of numeric numbers). That way we can sleep in after the 24 hour event and still get at least 2 shows completed. Then Sunday we have Rebels, SOTS and a second Warwick just in case we can't make the show on Saturday, but we will most likely cancel that one.

Ok I keep reading about this glitch but haven't been able to game it yet.

try weekend II, the SWW shows are all on Tier 2. So you can get TSMM or GMR on Tier 1 and 2 SWW shows on Tier 2

Couldn't get rebels but got obi wan for weekend 2 Sunday. Will use our ftf pp for rebels.

 

[HCinKC]

kids love it. He teaches them a short martial arts routine using a lightsaber.

Gosh this sounds so neat! ODS would have actually been interested in a show! It's too bad they can't get the celebs to commit sooner, so it is easier to decide what weekend to go. Maybe next time!

Can someone summarize the glitch? Is it that the shows are now listed as Tier 2? I was able to change a TOT to a show without having to rebook everything and am seeing shows as Tier 2 for the last weekend. Was there something more to it?

(This is what happens when you have a two hour meeting. Nothing all morning when I'm free and then BAM... another 10 pages to catch up on.)

LOL, I thought the same thing! It has been slow lately. I was only gone a few hours and had ten pages. I panicked thinking I missed the release for Rebel Hangar.

Rebels is still showing as Tier 1 on May15.

We have a FP for this but will likely drop. I checked out of curiosity, and it only gave me t1 options to switch to. Not sure what would happen if I dropped all to reschedule.

If it is a glitch, it is a fantastic one for folks wanting to do multiple shows!

Now...back to my regularly scheduled program of awaiting news on Rebel Hangar...

PS a few days that I have tried they say there isn't a show open for those days... you guys have run the system ragged LOL

 

[luvallprincesses]

That's why I took screenshots of each day

Me too! Pictures of my laptop screen and screemshots of them in the MDE app under My Plans!

I just did that I found the map view of the itinerary was easier than the list view (smaller).

Would love an "export to excel" button Disney!

You might have to change the time of another FP. I couldn't get Visit to the Maul because it was the same time as the Frozen sing-along. Changed the sing-along to early morning, then could change muppets to Visit to the Maul. Then changed Frozen to a different time.

 

[drlaurafsu]

It was strange that rebels showed up but wouldn't let me select it...might have a slight time conflict with another fp although I thought I was clear. It let me do the other and I also have the ftf pass option for rebels so I'm fine.

I swapped a ToT fp since DS doesn't really like it. So it actually works out well for us. DS is more about m&g...this will be his first time going to any shows.

But he loves TSMM and RNRC...so I wasn't giving up the T1 fps. We have 3 mornings at HS...one non sww breakfast at SciFi. This I think is going to end up being great for us since we can hit his 3 favs early and often then head over to Epcot at lunchtime where we have FPs for the afternoon and dinner at via Napoli! At first I was disappointed not to get SciFi on a sww day, but in the end I think it is actually working out for us in the long run.

My too. I had to choose new FP's though to make it work on the 17th. I already had SOTS selected and since it was moved to Tier 2 I then had no access to Tier 1's! But May 15th and 16th still have SW shows in Tier 1 or won't allow the change and show they are finished distributing.

Feel like I am missing out on all the excitement today but so excited that week V schedule has been released.

I had two attractions (the Frozen singlong one day and Star Tours the other) at times that overlapped with SotS, and was able to change both of them directly to SotS without having to move anything else around. Of course, I had to then change my third FP+ on that one day to Star Tours, which is fine.

MDE is so weird.

I had the same issue.

me too
