Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[AuntieK]

This is my daughter's physical science teacher, another SW fan, he asked for this picture after last night's show. I just love teachers that get it, you know

I love it! I've shared before that our last name is Wookey. One of my niece's middle school teachers played this video in front of her entire class:

It's time for another Orlando celebration!

The Rebel Hangar is missing from the Disney Website. Did anyone else notice this? I was checking to see if I could get my whole party together and it is no longer there. I called Disney and the CM said she can see it in her system but she also could not see it on the web page.

It hasn't been there for a few days. If you look for Star Wars Weekend it is still listed there but not in the dinning links, you will see Donald there.

So do you think there is a problem or do you think it has been removed for good. We have 2 reservations but they are each for a party of 2 and at different times. We don't mind splitting up but I was hoping that I might get lucky and find a reservation for all of us together.

Have there been any reviews of the Character breakfast yet?

I believe they are having IT issues with it plus they keep changing it as they are now going to offer it more than just weekends from the post I have read here. Others with more knowledge than me can give more info.

Just an FYI...not SWW related, but definitely SW. A lifelong SW fan who spent entire days as a kid watching all 3 movies back to back. (Yes, I regret discarding my old VHS's for the DVD's - so now I don't have the originals: Han shot first and the Ewok celebration sucks now). But I hadn't gotten the Blu-rays, but just got the digital copies on VUDU. DELETED SCENES!!!! OMG, a Wampa inside Echo Base!?!!? Seeing all the old, original footage as old as I am was soooo cool!

That is super cool! I do still have my old VHS, but they aren't in very good shape anymore. Well, at least not 4. We ended up watching the rest on DVD. My VHS of 4 is the first SW ODS watched, and he still loved it even though it was all grainy and shaky lol. A true fan was born!

For hydrating kids we got our son a kids size camelbak. We fill it with ice and water at the hotel....as much ice as we can pack in, then use the ice water refills to top off during the day. DS loves it and I don't have to constantly remind him do drink water...just to go to the bathroom! Lol! We got ours from Amazon.

This is what my son has used since about 18 moonths, and he's 6 now. @msmama They have lots of fun designs, so I bet your son could pick something out. We also have a Thermos brand insulated metal one that has Vader on it. Maybe he would like that. I got it at TRU, but Target may have it, and I know Target has the Camelbacks.

A little off topic, but still SW related. Last evening my son and I watched SW episode I. We want to watch all six prior to our SWW trip. I am sure others have noticed this and maybe it was mentioned here, but while watching Padme address the senate, my son says "ET!" ET is on the senate.

I asked what he was talking about, he said he saw ET. I laughed and told him he was crazy. So he rewinds and pauses the movie and says right there. I had to walk up to the TV to see it, but sure enough, there was ET.

Ha, yes! It was a deal that Lucas and Spielberg made to have one another's characters in the other's movie.

Was there a different thread on the Star Wars posters from the Cheerios boxes? Wondering what everyone is getting

Not a different thread. I have gotten the Target exclusive with all 6 movies on one, New Hope, and Phantom Menace x2. Gonna run over to HyVee today because there's is on sale for 1.88.

Why not post three times in a row? I watched another parody video that came up after AuntieK's. So funny and true, and I wanted to share.

Yoda in E.T.

I forget where I saw it, but there is a theory about how Star Wars is about ancient earth legend...since you can find C3PO and R2-D2 in the hieroglyphics in Raiders of the Lost Ark...so all three movies are connected.

Every time I hear the song on the radio, I sing along to this.
