Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

The headphones are 179.95 for the second editions. These really are studio quality headphones that put Beats to shame. They are on quality with good sennheisers. They would be big on a lot of kids. I don't have Star Wars editions but do have SMS. Awesome. If your child wants Star Wars headphones you dont have to worry about walmart has vader and r2 ones. They are around 20 and reasonable for small children. I may have a pair of those.

Holy Moly that's expensive!! I appreciate the Walmart tip...he will be getting those instead!

People ARE eating lunch in the Rebel Lounge!

I bet they haven't closed it yet since RH isn't open yet.

 

[williamscm3]

Any of the Dooney and Bourke bags left? Can't decide if I want them to still be available or not!! I'd love one, but that money could buy lots of other stuff, too!?!?!

There is a store I follow on FB called Mouse to your House. She is there today and posted a pic saying she is able to buy the bags for anyone that's interested. Of course she does charge a fee but I don't think it's that much. Cheaper than eBay! Just wanted to pass that along to anyone who really wants one but is worried they might sell out before their weekend comes

Rebel Lounge signs ...and now some of the umbrellas outside are decorated...



No sign of anything in the Chipawok location

This could also be an option for those of you looking to get the autograph books in advance too

But they have decorated it FYI. Funny thing is most of the people in there seemed to have no clue.

As of 30 mins ago, yes, plenty of bags left.

For people interested in the black Episode VII shirt management is expecting it to sell out tomorrow

Yes, but they won't need to have it cleared out in order to admit those with ADR for RH. I can't see that having folks eat there will be an issue today. Or any other day outside they need the space cleared out.

More theming outside rebel lounge


Kind of makes me wonder if they are thinking of having some people sit outside. I hope not seems like that would detract from the experience. Dh says he does not think they will

they talked about taking walk ups, so this might be where they are serving them

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Didn't they mention that there would be some walk up seating outside?

 

[yulilin3]

frantically running around the house, cleaning (I'm a neat freak) making lunch for my son to take to work, laundry, checking that our backpack has everything we need (eye drops for Steph's contacts, regular glasses in case, portable chargers with cable, shine control powder and lip balm, Steph's supplements and sea salt tablets, umbrella, poncho, extra clothes, snacks, camera fully charged, calendar just in case we get lucky and get Ian's autograph)
anything that I'm missing?

 

[CinderElsa]

These are the LE MagicBands - sorry if the pics are huge. Trying to post from my phone. CM told me there are only 330 lightsaber bands in existence.

Do you need reservations or can you get on a wait list?

Rachel Brent on May 6th, 2015 at 9:46 am
Hi Timothy, Reservations are highly recommended, but there will be limited outdoor seating for walk-ups, weather permitting.

I'm getting so excited! Thanks again for a wonderful thread! I know o saw a picture yesterday of the Boba Fett Stein and the glow cubes but I can't find it? Anyone have a link?

 

[AngiTN]

Liking those MBs. We may just need to plan a quick trip next year for opening weekend. All this is going to be gone before we can get there.

And I have to ask the stupid question of the day (or at least the hour)... what is The Galactic Gathering?

 

[Delilah1310]

No, it doesn't. I have them booked at the same exact times (will be dropping something eventually, see my last post)

thanks.
I know RH has been popular and sold out in minutes, so not surprised that there is no availability.
I was just curious about how the system works so thanks for helping me sort that out!

Merchandise event. This is the second year they do it. You pay to go into Darth's Mall and have first dibbs on all the merchandise. This year you got the lightsaber MB (not available unless you were at the event today) Han Solo bucket a lanyard and the Boba Fett stein, I think that's what you got, maybe I'm missing something.
