Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Ms Worry Wort over here will still worry, still pace until she sees it for herself... I know, I know, I have been down there alot and I know how it can be... but, but, I wanna march so badly in the parade, which means something is bound to disappoint me. Yes I am a Disney nut with a pessimistic attitude... can't help it, history has taught me to be that way!

Haha, "you must unlearn what you have learned."

So very true in regards to the weather this weekend.

Floridian here. Monday is way too early to judge what the weather will be like this weekend.

Excellent! Can you just come here and post this same thing several times a day between now and Friday??

I know you're right... after I-don't-even-know-how-many-trips I SHOULD know, anyway... ...

This falls squarely into the category of "things one cannot control", any yet... ...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one compulsively checking the weather forecast!! Arriving Wednesday & going to SWW on Saturday! so exciting!

 

[HCinKC]

Too late, already crazy....

Haha, too true! It is hard not to look, but I am not necessarily worried. I know it changes with the wind...quite literally lol. Still, with only one SWW, I like to hope for all t he sunny skies the world has to offer.

I have a RH for May 17, 5:35, 4ppl if anyone is interested. I haven't coordinated before, and it sounds like the online system is still wonky. Still, I am happy to try if someone wants. Just pm me.

Gone. Passed to a DISer...hooray!

I have a question about the meal photos. People are saying you get the photo with MM. If I don't have that, can I just buy it from the Photo Pass site individually?

Yes, I released a party of 4 for both the 22nd and 24th for someone who just needed 1 more person so there may be up to 3 available for both those days.

you get a free download with the Jedi Mickey dinner. And you can buy the one from Galactic Breakfast. You can buy it at the park or later when you get back home. Just make sure you get the photopass card so they can scan the picture to it

My trip last month, rain was predicted for every day. At minimum we were expecting the afternoon showers. We got them on the Thursday most people were arriving and one on Sunday at Epcot while we were at dinner. Of course, on Monday, when everyone was flying home, tons of crazy weather delaying everyone's flights.

There is no point in predicting Florida weather! Bring ponchos!

I really don't understand why they have the free download for the dinner but eliminated it from the breakfast.

 

[alpina0560]

ponchos are packed and ready to go!!

 

[jennab113]

For my trip in January, rain was predicted basically all day everyday. It ended up raining one evening all week. I had bought a ton of ponchos and never used any of them so I'll bring them with me again.

I just grabbed an earlier time so I have a Galactic breakfast on 5/15 1040 am for 2 available. PM To coordinate, will cancel in am. Also going to cancel Rebel Hanger 5/17 830pm for 2.

Thank you! Do you know if this is the same at non-SWW character meals?

 

[Tltorrez]

I'm sorry for the confusion...I had seen/heard that the roaming characters at both meals are NOT with photopass photographers, so that would be up to us individually. My main question was for both the Vader/Fett pic and the Jedi Mickey pic. There are photopass photographers there, yes...but do they also work for Memory Maker pre-paid program? I ask this, because I thought I read somewhere that Memory Maker only provides photos from some attractions/experiences, but not all....meaning that some pics you would still need to pay for. Is that correct?

This was the case at one time. Before Photopass was re-branded as Memory Maker and tied to the magic bands. As far as I know, they're all included now.

you mean the Disney Jr. meal? I'm not sure, sorry

If anyone does the breakfast and can get a picture of the dairy free menu, I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to decide if I should not tell them about the allergy and make my own choices and deal with the consequences later or tell them and possibly have super limited choices. Mostly I prefer to make my own choices, but since I will be driving home after the breakfast Sunday morning, I don't want to be sick in the car for 7 hours.

There is only a gluten/nut menu. Any other allergy requires a chef table visit
