Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Aw man, I finally got caught up, inserted my quotes, then Safari "unexpectedly quit" on me. Sigh.

So...what I can remember I was going to respond to over 15 pages...

One day, our whole family will be in white tees that say Jedi Master, Knight, Padawan, and Youngling. If you see a 6yo in a jedi master shirt and padawan mom, that would be me. I am sure you can guess who chose each family members rank.
And one day I will be in this. Haven't decided on the third day yet.

@yulilin3 When you say the groups will break off into the different areas (like JTA, Chewie, TSMM, etc), is that like CMs leading the crowds? I want to sign ODS up for PMC on Saturday, so I want to make sure I am with the correct CM if that is how they do it. I would assume that would be the JTA side?

We will be at MK the first Friday morning, so we'll miss the Chewie run. Besides that, ODS wants the Ewoks, so we're planning on after lunch anyway. Have fun though!

there will be CM leading the group that is singing up for JTA and CM leading people over to TSMM. There are no CM leading people for PMC.
For PMC sign up you can follow the JTA crowd and just keep walking past Indiana Jones Theater and you'll be right in front of the sign up table by ABC Sound Studio.
If you don't want to follow the JTA crowd, walk straight down Hollywood Blvd and take a left onto the Hyperion Theater (old AIE Theater) and the sign up desk will be on your right

I was able to get a RH reservation on 5/17 at 6:00pm. Wondering if I will have enough time to do that as I also have FP for Obi-Wan & Beyond at 7:00pm?

try to check in earlier. It'll be tight.

Either DH or I will likely join in the Chewie run on weekend 2. One of us will be in the JTA run.

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

Buses don't run from TTC to DHS anymore, they run from MK bus depot to DHS. I would park at DHS and if you're park hopping take the Disney buses, especially if you're going to MK later that way you don;t have to deal with the monorail or ferry to MK, the bus takes you straight to MK

I agree - on the first Friday we're doing DHS in the morning and hopping to MK for the early afternoon then back to DHS - so we're parking at DHS and taking the bus to MK. Normally we're not bus people but in this case it makes sense

Thank you! I am glad we are going to HS on Thursday, so I can get a feel for where everything is. DH has never been to Disney, and it has been a good ten years for me. I will need a refresher!

joined chewy run facebook...just notice Yulilin has same profile picture as me lol. I wish they would bring back R2MK

 

[pookadoo77]

Ok, still sweating the visit to the maul sign ups. Do we follow the JTA stampede then break off? Where exactly do we sign them up? Is it a good chance to get a spot if we head straight there at RD for my 3 kiddos? Is it a mob? Any advice, cant find much on youtube or googling about it. Thanks! Also, youngest will be turning 5 in Sept. 2nd, will be there on June 12th, will he be able to do it?! He is all about it, lol. Plus his older brothers 10 and 11 (turning 11 & 12 in Sept too, yeah I know) will be up there with him....

"you never know who you'll find in an abandoned hangar....."
Ahhh, so many possibilities.

My imagination is running wild. Han Solo. Walk through? Life size jabba the hutt behind ropes? 501st walking through?

Same route as PMC, the sign ups for both will be done in the same area. This is the first year they are doing sign ups for VttM so not sure how many people know about it. Let me find my video...give me a minute

link to a facebook page for all SWW trades cancels, and wanted ADR's and experiences..... I'll add to my signature too. Hoping for a Chewie Run page for weekend V (hint,hint)

I'll be doing a chewie run on Friday weekend 5. I am even breaking my disney rule and am doing online checkin so I can. Lol.

 

[yulilin3]

here's one of my videos, this one just concentrates on JTA sign ups but you just keep walking past Indiana Jones and you'll see the table. This was from last year. I have another video from 2013 somewhere, let me dig it up

 

[pookadoo77]

Is online check in not good? Hope its ok, I already did it, lol. We will be heading to Chewie after signups first thing, lol....

 

[yulilin3]

this is my other video from 2013. Doesn't really show PMC, but here it is

Did not see a table, already had this one in my faves, lol. Just walk past that line right? ty!

 

[yulilin3]

I guess I should make videos of people going to PMC sign ups and another one of the Chewie Run. Meaning some of you may appear in the video
