Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Should I ditch breakfast or the parade? And does other stuff look doable? I only have one day at SWW. Here's my schedule:

10:35 Star Wars Breakfast (actively stalking for a new time)
11:00 parade
12:10-1:10 star tours fast pass
12:30 50s Prime Time (I know I am going to end up with too much food, but this was specific request)
2:00 behind the force (is this any good)
2:00-3:00, RnR fastpass
3:15--Stars of the saga
4:20 rebel lounge
5:05/5:15, Darth Maul, fastpass


7:30 Hollywood and Vine, leaning heavily to cancel, since I have another tomorrow night and will use on an Epcot day (I think it's just too much food)

9:45 fireworks

need to break out, probably after Darth Maul to check into my hotel

Got confirmation on the lightsaber you'll recieve with your Galactic Breakfast. I know someone posted a pic but it got lost with all the Hangar chatter.
One per person, they are red or blue and they light up. You can wear them around your neck as they come with a string. If the person that posted the photo early can repost that would be helpful. Trying to get a pic now

Called it!

You probably won't be hungry if you keep both breakfast and lunch. The parade is great but the decision is your depending on your families priorities.
Doesn't look like you have a fp for SotS? You'll need to wait in standby for at least an hour to get seats for this show. Rebels is much easier to get into

Glad everyone is getting Rebel Hangar reservations. I think I'm going to pass since our day is already packed. So packed that I think my DTech Me time won't work. Tried to change it but the CM said the only times left are 7pm. Completely my fault for not going ahead and changing it the day they announced Weekend V show times. I will definitely keep calling back to see if any earlier times open up.

Since it's Star Wars Day here is a page from my baby book way back in 1977. First music to ever hit my ears.

Called it!

yes you did. It's a good size, not the size of the key chain ones, it's bigger. Still trying to get the picture

View attachment 92458 Was stalking Instagram this morning and found a few pics from the galactic breakfast! I am guessing these are the lightsabers we are getting?

Not OP but here it is.

Happy Birthday!!!!

We're celebrating May the 4th Because it's my birthday AND Star Wars day so I got a Star Wars cake and I have an appt for an R2D2 pedicure. We are going out to dinner and DH and I will probably watch one of the movies after the kids are in bed. DS4 told me this morning that I must be a Jedi, because I was born on Star Wars day

Sounds like a great day! Love the R2D2 pedicure!

Your son is too cute~ you really must be a Jedi!!!

really? what if I am willing to sit way in the back? can I wait 30 minutes and get in? I go on a sunday.

Actually, so long as it doesn't look like something you'd get out of a cereal box I'll be happy with it...

That and they better have enough friggin' Death Star Glow Cubes this year!

Confirming yulilin's post from yesterday: Character Palooza is scheduled to run during SWWs.

Be at the gates near the ToT exit around 6:00 ~ gates will open between 6:00 - 6:10 and you'll enter to meet with the characters. They do close the gates so be on time as there is only one Palooza.

No Photopass, no Attendants monitoring lines but the Attendants will end and clear the meet after a 15 - 20 minute time period.

that's the problem with the packages and VIPs and fp, is that there's no way of knowing how early you have to be to get inside. Which weekend are you coming?

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet...
Chewbacca at Build-a-bear!

Thanks to everyone for encouraging me to call again and again I finally snagged a time. I saw the food pics, does anyone know where the descriptions of the food/alcohol was? Lots of pages on this thread since then. Thanks

Late to the party again but I got a Rebel dining 5/24 at 6:20. I have D Tech Me at 5 (two of us), do you think we'll finish those in time to make it? I don't know how long those take and I got so excited booking the Rebel that I didn't even think of it until now

 

[MooksterL1]

Getting live reports from @lovethattink Stormtroopers are marching around the parks and Chewbacca is riding ST with guests

Wow! So cool!!
Yay for all the Rebel Hanger ressies. I was driving from TN to SC all morning and since my 9 year old is with me calling would have totally ruined the surprise. We only have one day so I think we will skip the RH this year.

 

[Bugdozer]

Thank you to all that have helped us get reservations!!

The force has been with me today!! I needed to get Rebel Hanger for 5 of us instead of 3 on May 17th. First CM i talked to said noting and didn't ask for my info. I called back and got a wonderful CM that took hotel info first and then she found 5:45 on May 17th for 5 of us. I am so excited. I had her cancel the ressie we had for 3 at 4pm.

Then I went on line like I have everyday trying to find a galactic breakfast for 3 and nearly jumped out of my chair when May 20th popped up at 9:15 am. SO EXCITED!!! so we do the Jedi Mickey dinner on the 19th then get up and do the sci fi breakfast. Get a dose of our Star Wars characters nearly all at once!!!!
