Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

what's the better deal, Han with cupcakes or Han with pop corn. Both taste good?

Um, I don't know. It was good to sample all of them, so that's a pro for the cupcakes. But the two chocolate ones were so sweet and I wasn't a huge fan of the Jabba cake. The frosting was amazing but the cake tasted like boxed yellow cake dyed green and slightly overcooked. If they fill the box with popcorn, that would be a ton.

After the rebel hanger, I decided to tap out for the day, watch some baseball, and rest up for FTF tomorrow. Today was fun.

I was seriously considering dropping the Rebel Hangar because our schedule is too full, but after the reports today, it seems like a MUST DO!!!

 

[jennab113]

Also, I am way jealous that Sabine and Ezra are at RH now. The Cantina Band was cool, but I really want to meet them. Oh well, there's always tomorrow, next Saturday, and the Saturday after that...

They were allowing walk ups when I checked in

According to wdw today Sabine and Ezra are meeting at the rebel hangar!!!

Darn, wonder if they'll just be in there at random times. Looks like I'm living at the rebel hangar next weekend.

PMC sign-ups are at ABC Sound Studio, not the Commissary.

Send the older kids to Chewie's line and have them allow others to move in front of them if they reach Chewie before you get there after signing up the little guy. It will be easy for you to join the older kids in line as soon as you arrive.

By 8:30 this morning, there was a 1.5 hour wait for Chewie.

Thanks for the catch on sound studio! Glad to hear it's possible to catch up to them in line. Was hoping that it would be possible!

I haven't seen any characters in here for around 30 minutes now

 

[Monykalyn]

? wonder if the RH characters do an hourly rotation?

And thanks all for the pictures-I think my food/drink budget just doubled! We have 3 RH reservations over 2 weeks...

Was there an answer yet to how different the reg/premium FtF package vs Deluxe FtF package credentials are? Can't wait for reports of dessert party!

No mirror either

There's a mirror by the Her Universe stuff. Bunch us is were using them trying clothese over clothes.

 

[Velvetme]

Really want to see the dessert party if anyone can post pics!!!

 

[slaveone]

I've found alcohol.

oh man i'm getting nervous about all this. soooo much. i got to get a gameplan together. i got all this crap booked but no real plan of attack. i wasn't even worrying about rides cause we are always there so it shouldn't be too bad just a lot of waiting which is going to suck for my kids. it's hot now so june is going to be vicious.

I strongly recommend leaving for lunch break. We live 40 min away so had slow quiet lunch at Yacht Club lounge. Then cleaned up in the restroom. Came back significantly refreshed.

@Velvetme

I too am looking forward to hearing about the dessert party and the differences between the two packages. I hope it is similar to last year's dessert party. The desserts were awesome, unless you had a peanut allergy or were avoiding gluten. The drinks were really good and not watered down. The even had Mickey premium bars.

The down side was that it wasn't the best view of the fireworks. But it was a great spot for the pre-show.

Oh we never due full days anyway. Our sat plan was full till lunch then my kids and wife leave to swim eat sleep and back in for hanger to eat at 6 and then dessert party. I'm staying all afternoon for all the shows. I'm going to be a mess by then. Lol

Sunday was our overflow day for characters.

Rides don't matter cause we are always here so that should help.

 

[Tltorrez]

For those seeing the shows at the Theatre of the Stars later, I'm really curious about the heat/comfort level...will there be fans..misting fans? How comfortable (or uncomfortable) are you? Very curious about how this will work out...

Sitting here now. No fans. Nice breeze right now but it's a windy day. Earlier I didn't notice it being hot. Out of the sun is bearable today.

I had briefly thought about just trying to push through next Friday since that will be our only full day. I needed a reality check...posts like this help me remember why that would not be a smart move!

 

[Tltorrez]

A question for those of you who are also at SWW today: where do they sell the Han Solo popcorn bucket?

Got mine with cupcakes in Rebel Hangar.

 

[tots05]

if you trade with a Jawa they will have a special event button

how do we do this? I would love to try this when we get there
