Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Super excited! Thank you! (And thanks to the anonymous source! )



But asking for a box if you don't finish your meal like normal is still ok? I have slow eaters and kids who won't finish a meal, but be hungry ten minutes later so we often take their food to go.

if you don't finish I would guess it's fine. Just asking for second and putting the whole thing in the box is the problem

This is not a great time for the rebel hangar to be coming out. I was out late last night at an avengers double feature and I'm not feeling great today. Disney... Why can't you do things on my schedule?? Also, isn't it about time we got some more info on the 24 hour event?

Hi Dis. I’ve been reading the boards for years, but I think this might be my first post. I went to SWW last year and had a blast because of the tips on this board. I can’t thank you all enough.
I’m a single Disney traveler almost exclusively, AP holder, Tampa Resident, a bit shy. Taking a big leap in actually chiming in.
I’ll be at HS for Star Wars Day.
FtF Premium Package on Sat. 5/16
FtF Premium Deluxe Package on Sat. 5/13
I’ll go check in on the roll call thread. Happy to be here!

I wonder if they're holding the announcement because the system is still down.

Is the system down for all ADRs?

I just successfully searched for Jedi Mickey dinner, and it showed me available times on June 11th. So, some ADRs must now be searchable.

try this one, I am working, answering phone, filling out forms to reserve wedding items and click find a table... Bathroom brake LOL maybe tomorrow?

 

[OZMom]

When it's humid in Florida (for me that's March to November lol) I often toss a clean tshirt (usually wicking, hope not to swelter in the regular cotton SW ones I'm planning on taking), bra & pair of socks into my park bag. TMI?

That is an amazing tip!

dangit and I just bought the season on amazon a week ago to finish the few I didnt dvr off disneychannel. oh well no I have them all

I was about to buy it on Prime yesterday as well because we are canceling cable today. Already got all the Miles From Tomorrowland for DS4, but I'm glad I saw that announcement before I paid for Rebels. We can binge watch it and that will hold us over for now, hopefully.

I've had it come through a couple times in the last hour but never twice in a row.

Darn...I thought for sure 10am would be the magic time....

I know, right? C'mon Disney! Get MDE back and running and let us make those reservations!

 

[DisneyWishes14]

For those of you still looking for SWW character meal reservations, I've had good luck with DisneyDiningBuddy, watching this thread and also the May cancellation thread in the Restaurants forum. DisneyDiningBuddy costs $8 per watch, but it was worth it. You sign up for an alert with the date, time, restaurant and number of people you are looking for and they email and text you when a reservation becomes available. As long as you click on the link as soon as you get the alert, chances are good you'll get the reservation. I have what we want now (except Rebel Lounge!), but I've gotten daily alerts if Jedi Mickey H&V becoming available. Galactic Breakfast has been tougher to get. Anyway, thought I'd pass it along for those still looking!

I wonder if some are having luck booking the hangar over the phone and are cancelling the Jedi Mickey because of it?

 

[mmafan]

whats this stuff......new???

 

[RedM94]

Trying for Rebel Hanger through DVC. She is searching now... She is able to search, but nothing is coming up as available.

 

[pookadoo77]

I just had it show me tables for another adr too, just not RH...

 

[williamscm3]

Ok. So I'm usually as nice as possible when calling the Dining CM's but I just called back a second ago to make sure it hadn't opened and she wouldn't even check for me! She just said " no it's not open for reservations yet" immediately after I asked. I understand that it wasn't open this morning but I feel like times are just going to pop up any minute now so it would have been nice if she would have looked...just saying. Rant over!

 

[wdwalice]

This thread has been a blessing and a curse! Love having the right info real time but so hard to not check every minute while working!! I have a meeting in 15 minutes and want to book this now!!!!

No, these system is down for CMs also.
