Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Star Wars run disney is at Disney land. I have hopes since this is the last year for Everest challenge that we will get a Star Wars marathon now.

From what I know, it is extremely unlikely there will be a Star Wars Race at WDW. We already have the Weekends which Disneyland doesn't get to have.

Sadly I also can't see them duplicating a weekend theme since they are all different right now. It does seem silly to not have one if they build the SW land at HS though...maybe it will be a more obscure SW theme?

Ummm...is anyone else missing FP? I just went to look and yesterday I changed several FP so that I could have the Tier 2 multiple EVENTS ones....and now I only have ONE event each day and the TSMM that I put on each weekend, lol, is gone. I guess it was a glitch and they took them away.

Mine still look okay but I only had 2 event ones on one day. But there are several days I have TSMM and a show. Hope you're able to get what you want.

I changed mine yesterday to have a TSMM for tier 1 and SOtS for tier 2 and when I just checked my itinerary, they are both still there as well.

Yes, it was marked. I only saw the exclusive one in regular Cheerios, and it wasn't every box. The same way the other boxes say find a SW poster inside, it just has "exclusive" added and the Target symbol. It also shows a picture of the actual poster on the front and the back.

ETA: I would take picture, but since my phone was previously owned by Zack Morris, it's not very easy.

LOL! The Zack Morris phone comment is hilarious! I'll look later this week, maybe I can steal away without kids. (My middle tagged along this trip and was full of it by the time we got to the food section, which was basically the reason we were there!)

I just checked my Fps and they all look to be in tact from the change. Still have TSMM and my show, but I only have one show FP.

All our fps for weekend I and II are still there, 2 sww shows and a ride

I would LOVE this!! We were so disappointed that we missed the inaugural in DL last year, but we were already registered for the half and 5K during the WDW Marathon Wknd.

If you want to do runDisney you need to prepare ahead of time. One the day of sign ups you need to each register yourselves (don't have one do both) and go online a few minutes before noon eastern time. While I think the west coast races aren't quite as bad as the DW races, wine and dine registration was nuts a few weeks ago and I wouldn't take a chance.

There is a thread on the WISH board for the race, hop on it and ask questions there. I am planning to do the challenge (10k and half) plus the 5k with DS. It will be my first races at DL...going for coast to coast medal with princess in February.

This is what we're hoping to do this year! My sister and I will register for rebel challenge (half + 10K), and we'll run the 5K and 10K with DS10 -- his first 10K!!

This all assumes we can manage to register...!

DH says we need to go buy more cereal so we can 'get them all' - I replied - "you do realize that is General Mill's plan for the promo right?"

My FP+ with Frank Oz and RnR are still there, but the more I think about it, it's not really a glitch. It's not like they were both under Tier 1 and it let me select more than one -- the shows are clearly under Tier 2. If it was a glitch in the sense that the shows (especially Frank Oz) should have been Tier 1, then I think they would've corrected it by now -- it's been more than 24 hours later. I think they're meant to be Tier 2 for whatever reason. Of course, I'm sure now that I've said that, MDE will show them as Tier 1 by tomorrow. Is Weekend I the only weekend still showing the shows as Tier 1?

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

We'll be happy to trade weekend 1 if we have multiples of anything. Looks like lots of cereal for me for the next two weeks.


I don't want to look...I want to SNUGGLE!

I have a semi-related question...can anyone tell me about the Star Wars runDisney marathon? I have done a few races with a friend, and she is now interested in a Disney trip. I looked at the runDisney page for the first time and saw the Star Wars race. Obviously, that is the best one. I need more info though!

are you going to be in the early Chewie line on Friday morning by any chance?

If there was a Star Wars Run Disney I might have to actually start running....

I believe so. Rebels tier 1

I got my Magical Express tags in the mail today and this was included. I didn't expect Yoda to be peeking out at me when I opened the envelope! It is getting closer!


Also, I just saw this post on twitter from @DCharacternews: "Star Wars Wknds could be seeing a blast from the past that appeared at the 2014 Christmas Parade taping."

I don't know how reliable it is and don't know who they are talking about, but thought it might mean something to those of you here who are much more knowledgeable than me about Star Wars characters!

 

[yulilin3]

Han Solo!!! He appeared on the Christmas parade....

Y'all are making me want to buy Cheerios and I don't even eat cereal! Anyone want me to bring them some cereal SWWI?

 

[OZMom]

I got mine and didn't open it yet! I need to go open it right now,

 

[slaveone]

Publix locally doesn't have the cheerios yet. I will hit Target or Walmart tomorrow.

I have tried to modify my FP's for May 16th and none of the SWW shows come up at all. When I tried to modify my Tier 1 (SotS) TSM didn't show up as an option either. Very confusing. I am afraid to cancel everything and rebook.

for us Wal-Mart only had some fruity sugary cereal can't remember what It was called. We went to Target and got the Honey Nut Cheerios - which DH will eat...

I would like to dedicate this page to the 501st legion.

 

[mexxican]

My Target didn't have any Star Wars marked cereals

 

[pmaurer74]

Is there a Hans Solo meet and greet? I had not seen anything about one... why isn't there one?
