Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[wdhinn89]

Thank you so much Yulilin3 for all your hard work and information! I know this trip would not be half as great with out all your knowledge, help and information.

We leave tomorrow night and will not arrive at MCO until 12:45am so we are spending our first night at the Hyatt Airport Hotel. In the morning, we will take the magical express to the Contemporary and check in. Hopefully our room will be ready and then we will head over to HS. Unfortunately, we will miss the parade because my family will never be up and out early enough but we still have a great day planned and looking forward to the fireworks. The worst part is that I will miss the lunch time meet up and there is not a night time meet up on the 16th but I will definitely be looking for Yulilin3 and everybody else. We have FP+ for SotS, RH at 4:10, and a SciFi Dinner at 6:00 so hopefully I will run into some fellow Dissers. I will be drooling over this thread tomorrow during the day to hear every bodies experiences and tips. Enjoy everyone and May the Force Be with you !

If you are thirsty then you are already dehydrated. Drink water, often

These pumba safety messages are one of my favorite things! I heart pumba

In line to check in at the Galactic Gathering!

Keep us updated! Could you check to see what characters are available and let me know?

Jumping on quickly while in line for Tiana. The shop location between Mike and Sulley and the Studio Catering food place has switched over to mainly SW merchandise with some cool decorations. I am fairly sure it is one of the 3 shops you can easily enter it and purchase without going into or near the old backlot shops...not sure if that helps at all but though I would throw it out there.

Any chance of buying the SWW autograph book on Thursday May 21? We want to make the Chewie fast walk on Friday morning, but don't want to miss his autograph.

no, they only sell it during SWW. But there are 2 gift shops outside the park that will have them available before the park opens

Yeah, that was the line to check in, then walked around the back to X-wing collectibles. The line back here is much longer.

Here's the list of the LE stuff they have as of this morning.

Yes, thank you. This is the prop shop that shows on the SWW map. Have fun, Tiana is my favorite Disney princess

[jennab113]

I'll post more pics inside. Feel free to repost any of them. It's just quicker for me to upload them as I take them.

@yulilin3 about the only thing I want to do for sure as far as pictures for me is the Chewie run. On the maps where is that located exactly? Would it still be wise that you go all the way down dhs Main Street (sorry just woke up don't remember the name) hang a left at the stage, past the restaurants on the right? It's been years since I've been in dhs, so across from scifi was the American idol experience, am I in the right area?

As far as knowing if that's the correct route I have to wait for someone's report on Friday. Figured I'd get it out now as it might get lost in the posts Friday.

Thank you

We are going to SWW on Weekend II and I know that people have been asking about standby for the Frank Oz show, but what about the Warwick Davis show? I wasn't able to snag FP so should we still show up an hour and a half to get in line for his show?

At least an hour before to make sure you make it inside

I guess I could change the color temporarily to blue or something for new updates and leave it blue for a day and then change it to red.
Yesterday I updated the celebrity autograph times for weekend 1

Yes, putting new updates in a different color or bold for a day or so would be perfect -- then we can scan your initial post each day and see exactly what's new.
