Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Question about the fp+...how do you book these for SWW? I have my standard HS one, but there's fp for the shows? Is that right? I see on the first page that fp went live in April and I imagine there aren't any left, but I don't recall ever seeing them. Help a newbie SWW out please!

 

[jtowntoflorida]

Thanks. This is for Galactic Breakfast before the park opens on a non-SWW day.

OK, yeah, just go to the far left tapstile. With two breakfasts going on (H&V and Sci Fi) the line will probably be longer than usual, but it really moves pretty fast. Everything will be roped off so you won't be able to go anywhere but the restaurant(s) until the park actually opens.

Yes there are fp for all the sww show happening in theater of the Stars. Depending on the weekend most are Tier 2 some on Tier 1

I don't remember the popcorn bucket selling out but I know for a fact that the stormtrooper stein did.They sold out weekend 2 but then they had them back for weekend 4 and 5. As soon as I saw them back I bought one for a friend of ours that was coming weekend 5

I got mine the second to last weekend last year.

Last year, they did not sell out of Darth Vader popcorn buckets. In fact, last time I walked by the little stand across from TSMM they still had them and the trooper mugs.

Thanks everyone! I'm not out till weekend IV and I definitely want one. Plus some folks out here have also requested I bring some back. Anyone going that weekend want some popcorn?

I've been thinking of what to say to the sww characters. Wonder what anakin would say if I asked him his thoughts on sand?

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 give up... how is he floating?

Tad bit OT, but fun, Twilight RiffTrax sampler.

The Benny Hill music at the end made me literally laugh out loud!

Thanks! Off to Galactic Breakfast this morning for Mother's Day!

Rebel Hangar - why doesn't it show up under dining? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm so upset about this. Several mornings I was on the phone when Dining opened.......and nothing. Then we had a family emergency of sorts, and I was off the boards for several days. When I checked in again on the evening of May 5th, I see that RH was doing resv's (even though the last I saw it was suppose to be walk-up). I needed Sat 5/30 around 4:00, for 7 people. The only thing I could get was 6:35, which means we'll have to miss the 7:00 SWW show, which I was looking forward to. I keep going back to check for other times, but RH doesn't even show up in Dining. Why?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Tltorrez]

RH has been that way for a couple days. People can't even cancel. No one knows why.

Could anyone please list out the special SW specific snack bars & the locations that will be at SWW (Like what was Ackbar Snack Bar)? Thanks!

Happy Mother's Day!

He jumped and I timed it just right

Tusken Fridge Raiders looks to be the new name for the snackbar inside Darth's Mall. It will have the Jabba The Hut, Yoda and Vader cupcakes plus some specialty drinks
The Jabba the Hut, Yoda and Vader cupcakes will also be found in Trolley Car Cafe (Starbucks) Starring Rolls and Backlot Express
The Vader cupcake will also be found in all quick service locations
There will be pop up bars around the park. Last year they were 2 near the event stage (on either side), by Brown Derby and Starring Rolls, outside of 50s Prime Time and Mama Melrose

According to James Arnold Taylor's Twitter, Disney Infinity 3.0 is legit and there is going to be a whole buch of Star Wars characters this time.

I showed my daughter and she sang the 'Hallelujah chorus' AND danced a jig! Someone's excited!

It feels like the calm before the storm on this thread.

The Ezra costume and light saber arrived yesterday. DS6 is very psyched, but I have already grown weary of the battery-operated sounds and hunting for the darts.

That's cool. I didn't know those were still available. DH wouldn't buy any of them on DVD/Blu-ray for the longest time, because of the remakes. Most of those scenes are just garbage. The originals were way better looking than the CG stuff. Not only are the scenes themselves generally stupid, but the CG is bad. Bad lighting and texture. DH did finally buy them on Blu-ray, but only because he got them really cheap. We always watch them in the correct order: 4 first and 3 last One of our friends, actually our God-children's father, is such a big SW fan, that he won't let the kids watch them until they can fully comprehend what "Luke, I am your father" means

We watched 4 5 6 1 2 3. Now ODS just watches whatever he is in the mood for. He really adores Qui Gon, so he watches 1 a lot, but he's seen all of them half a dozen times.

DH was telling me about "the machete order". It is 4 5 2 3 6, leaving out 1 entirely. You get the father surprise, then Vader's story with the surprise of sister at the end of 3. I think it is absurd!

Thank you! I could have sworn I saw on a previous page a few weeks ago that there was a name for at least 1 other? Maybe I'm confused.

Breakfast was great. Will update trip report tonight.
