Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[yulilin3]

If you guys do this I'll join you on weekend II. I don't have any little kids or awesome costumes to try to lure the characters over

desperate times call for desperate measures
"Look Sabine, she hand stitched every piece of this costume because you are her IDOL"

My guy wouldn't say where, but he was 100% they would be meeting. He then proceeded to explain that part of the reason they didn't meet last year was that the show hadn't premiered, so Execs and George Lucas didn't want them out, just to tease them. I dunno, but ok.


Maybe that is why my guy wouldn't say. Interesting though. I wonder about Chopper. Seems like it would be hard to roam with him. My guy said he would be out though.


Lol, I noticed that too. We went in about 10:30 to cool off after JTA. One of the guy's working in there was super excited for it. He said it was going to look even better for the event. Nothing on actually meeting characters though.

this sounds like Justin, he wears glasses...he was super excited for all things SWW when I talked to him last Sunday

If you/she are/is there on 6/12 I am totally asking for a pic if I see her!!

we don't usually go Fridays but I may go that Friday evening, depending on weather she might wear it that night

Lol it might have been! He did have on glasses. He was super cool to ODS who was wearing his Jedi costume carrying his new double bladed lightsaber. Very nice, enthusiastic guy.

I definitely agree with Yulilin about the weather. Rain chances could still change (or not) but the heat will definitely be an issue.

Think of all the money you'll be saving. Or saving for souvenirs.

By the way, my dh found whatever book you were taking to him about at books-a-million. I think it was the new lego encyclopedia?

The one with all white Boba Fett prototype armor. That would be it. I saw it too, on Tuesday, but will wait to pick it up until I do all my SWW spending.

We will be back over this afternoon. Anything I should try to ask about? I'll try to confirm the Rebels characters.

Finally finished reading thru the whole thread! So much helpful information! Thanks @yulilin3 and @Itinkso and of course all the others that put their tips and tricks in too! We are so excited about our first SWW on weekend V and now I'm feeling much more prepared! I'm in the process of making the kids' autograph books and hoping to be able to meet most of them on their lists. We will most likely be doing the Chewy run on June 12 although DS just brought up JTA in the car on the way to school. Was kinda hoping he wouldn't want to do it on a SWW day. We will see!

Quick question, would Friday or Sunday be more busy in your experience? TIA!

 

[yulilin3]

Well, time for all of us to get super jelly @The Sunrise Student is staying at AKL CL and she's chillaxing in the lounge and Ian McDiarmid is there. She doesn't want to bother him

Friday is a bit better cause locals are at work/school but not by much

Okay, what exactly is the Chewie Run?!?!

Last year we stayed at beach club and saw both peter Mayhew and Ahmed best. Ahmed was by himself walking past us and my bf's sister said hi to him in the weirdest most awkwardly high voice ever, it was hilarious. He was very nice though.

Anyone ever used Garnier washout color? I'm using it for Streph's Sabine's hair but the last time we did her hair got really clumpy and VERY HARD to brush. I like it cause it's not ammonia or semi permanent but I would like to be able to brush it easier. Any tips?

 

[yulilin3]

It's just a name we created since Chewbacca is a very high priority character a lot of people go there first thing...so we just made up a "run"

Flame Tree BBQ is a must do for my wife and I at Animal Kingdom.

I think FLame Tree is still down for refurbishments

Still looking for a RH and galactic on Weekend 4 (6/5, 6/6, 6/7) for a party of 4. I'm hoping the sooner to time I will get notifications from diningbuddy as I'm sure people will cancel so they won't pay fee.

$30 plush

I see that Donald in our future, if they have it next year. DS loves Donald.

 

[R2D2]

Reopens on the 23rd I think. There is also a pop up selling a limited menu of its food.

EDIT: had the wrong quote entered. Sorry!

Btw, the place with the Flame Tree food is called Beastly Kiosk.

She's got to have taken one! Geez, I would've!!!

I never did figure out where Mark Hamill was put up at last year... probably the same place.
