Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[Cluelyss]

I was reading the first post about RH and figured it was just friday, Saturday And Sunday but noticed it said weekends only. Just wanted to see if it means Star Wars weekends which is the 3 days Or is it just Saturday and Sunday Excluding Friday? Thanks!

Star Wars Weekends, so Fri, Sat, Sun. However, it is currently available for booking all days of the week between weekends I and II. This may or may not continue in the later weeks.

Wow that video was great. It shows you guys the lightsabers you get at breakfast, some character interaction during dinner at the end

That was awesome. I am so doing the Galactic Breakfast. We have never been to Sci-Fi, because the food just seemed OK. I guess I didn't fully understand what it is like on the inside from descriptions. H&V looks awesome too. I'm hoping to do it as well. This is going to be such a long year+. I probably shouldn't have watched that. My family is going to have such a great time. Well, I will too

I am so excited for everyone going this year. I can't wait to hear the reports

First timers to SWW. We will be there for 2 weekends (iv & v) Staying offsite and started booking our fastpass' at midnight last night making sure that I am understanding this correctly.

Behind the Force Rebels, Visit to the Maul, and Obi Wan & Beyond - I only need to schedule once sometime during the two weekends.
Stars of the Saga - I need to schedule once on both weekends.
Conversation with Frank Oz is only weekend V and need to schedule once.

thanks!

Way off-topic but I just got home from a screening of Mad Max Fury Road and that was crazy!

I requested to be a member on SW adr cancel and trade FB page. Still ISO galactic breakfast on 6/5 or 6/6 before 9:30am and a RH. Both for a party of 4. I have a galactic for 3 and Hollywood vine for 4 on 6/5 I'll cancel if I can find better times. I have paid for diningbuddy for galactic but may also to for RH.

After seeing the crowds at RD, I'm wondering what time I should try to get there to be close to the front? We are staying at BWI and I was hoping to be on the boat by 7. But that will only get us there 30 minutes before opening...should I go earlier? I may be abandoning my family...lol

Hmm, I went ahead and made a second ADR for RH during the week. We'll see what I end up doing...

I have a question about regular HS opening. We are going Thursday, and it says open at 9. I know it will be open earlier. We want to get ODS into JTA that day, preferably the first or second show. How early would be good for head of the line? I was thinking 7:30-45, but I don't know if that is too early.

The boats won't start to run till at least 8:00 a.m. If you want to get there earlier you need to walk. There is a path from BWI to Hollywood Studios. It isn't that far and it will be the only way you will be able to get to Hollywood Studios early.

Just a fun tidbit...about 3 weeks ago, DS6 overheard mom and dad's conversation (he already knew about our trip) when we discussed Darth's Maul...he has since been imagining himself as a new Sith character, Darth Maul's little sidekick, Darth Small. So funny! You know...I'm sure Ray Park could incorporate that into his show.

 

[williamscm3]

I just found a galactic breakfast for 4 on May 30 at 9:30...anyone want it? if not I'll release it sometime tomorrow-Gone

I know this might be an odd request, but anyone going first weekend able to do a video of the Chewie run so I know where I'm going or what CM I need to follow. I'm a visual person and though I'm almost positive I know what I'm doing a Chewie run for dummies would be great lol

I was wondering if all the problems with the recent rollouts could be traced to the reported 500 IT layoffs/outsourced jobs in January of this year.

"We are restructuring our global technology organization to support future innovation and new capabilities, and will work with leading technical firms to maintain our existing systems," Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said.

The claim was these were magic band IT, but with all the problems I just have to wonder.

 

[Kaschper]

I wanted to thank all of you for your invaluable information. We sort of fell into this trip when my youngest said he did not remember most of our previous trips (that got me booking right away), but we were well behind the curve. With the info this great group of people has provided My family and I look forward to a magical vacation. I want to especially thank all of you who have given so freely of your time to answers soooooo many questions and make sense of all this chatter for the rest of us. Thank you!

@Kaschper: you can just reply and type #9. Then your next post can just be #10. Then you'll be able to PM to coordinate the meal exchange.
