Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I was able to get mine booked earlier in the day. I'm still sad though, the call got disconnected before the survey and my agent was so good I wanted to give feed back

I called this morning as soon as I got in the shower. I had the phone on speaker while I got ready and of course someone answered as soon as I started drying my hair. I never went back to finish drying it after I got off the phone, so it's pretty crazy now. Oh well. I guess I should get used to it being crazy at SWW and all summer. But I got reservations on the 15th, 29th, and 30th. Which is great, except I really wanted the 16th and 23rd. I'm on talking to an agent again now hoping for one of those dates.

Also, here's the Vanity Fair photoshoot for The Force Awakens!

So I just checked my plans and my Rebel Lounge ADR for June 12th at 6:35pm (7pp) does not work. I need a 4pm!!! Called and was told nothing available. Anyone want to switch? I'll keep calling to see if it can be done.

Sorry moobar, but we have Jedi Mickeys at 7pm so I wont' be switching our 4pm.

I'm wondering If I will be able to change my time? When I booked I was only able to do 4:00 on 5/23. But people here are saying they got different times. I called at 8am this morning.

At least the third agent who denied me acted like she was trying to look. First agent said nothing was available after 3 seconds, second agent said walk ups only.

 

[Disaholic73]

That's the time I wanted! I just called. Got a CM with a southern accent. She said her last 2 calls were booked for the 12th. Maybe she helped you! But, for me, she couldn't find anything at all that day. I have it for 8 pm that day, but would've appreciated earlier.

Also, June 14th was completely booked according to her.

I guess the force was with me!!

I know the booking frenzy is going on, and GOOD LUCK to everyone!! I hope you all can get in!

On a lighter note, is anyone doing anything special at home to celebrate May the 4th today? We're going to start watching Rebels tonight, am looking for a cute dinner idea to go with the theme. Any ideas?

We're having Boba Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken Lightsabers (chicken fries). Put my son on the bus this morning with his SW tee shirt, SW jacket, SW shoes and SW sunglasses. Frankly I think he's more excited about Star Wars day than Xmas!! Probably also grape lightsabers (grape skewers) and thermal detonators (canteloupe balls).

(Oh, and tomorrow we're having "Hoth" dogs for Revenge of the Fifth!)

I called back and got it!!!! May 16th at 4:10. I was told there was nothing available on the 16th only the 17th from the first agent but this agent had 2 times available. Don't give up!!

Just want to say that @yulilin3 is AMAZING!!!! Can't thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication!

managed to get 7pm on may 17 thru dvc member services, it was a chore but it worked on 3rd attempt.

Ok, so I made a decision to just change the place for our after parade meet up. Seeing as Rebel Hangar might be setup all day it would be very hard to have the meet there.
So, moving it to ABC Commisary. As you go inside thru the main entrance make a right and I'll try to get tables at the back of the restaurant. Same time, after the parade.
Here are my times and dates for Rebel Hangar:
Friday 15th 4pm YAY Guinea Pig
Saturday June 6th 5pm
Sunday June 14th 7pm
Please, if you're interested in adding you times and dates go to the SWW Roll Call, thank you @Itinkso for keeping that all up to date

I thought I saw that Mushu is part of the Dinoland Dance Party at AK?

He very randomly is. We went three times last trip and he was never out.

Sold out or so I've been told three time by different cast members on the 29 of May

We have 4:10 that day, only time available when I called earlier. DH just got off the phone and his CM said there is nothing else that day - checked hour by hour and knew what was going on. Keep trying, I guess!

I totally agree. You've been so helpful to me as well!!!

Took two of us 4 total phone calls but got what we wanted!! Tough when you have a big group. But got Parties of 4 on May 16th at 4:40, 4:45, and 4:50. Had to ask repeatedly to have her refresh the system and she was able to find it just as I was going to take just 1 group of 4 at a different time.
Persistence and patience pays off again!

May the 4th be with you all!!

 

[yulilin3]

May the 4th videos and some stormtroopers walking around. It's killing me that I can't go.
