Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Two quick questions.

1. What the heck page is the Chevy run video. It's totally buried by now! Lol

2. Anyone know how long to all to studio from beach club villas? Since we will be heading over very early our weekend.

@yulilin3 or any other SWW veterans, any hope of doing Chewie prior to an 8:15 Galactic breakfast ADR?

If you are one of the very first families you can make it cause the breakfast is right next to Chewie.

I'll link the video and the pictures to the first post tonight.

My opinion is...maybe. If you get first or second in line, it's possible. The good thing is Chewie is literally right outside Sci-Fi so you can play it by ear and see what your line position is.

On VIP Tour. Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but we get to ride Star Tours, Toy Story Mania, RnR and ToT, one right after the other. A welcome surprise!! MTFBWY!!!

If you click on yulilin's screenname>Profile Page>postings, you can probably find it.

The walk from BCV > Studios should take 15 minutes or so depending on your pace.

Thank you both! We might give it a go as it would free up a bit of our afternoon since we had originally planned on after the parade. (Ewoks are a priority for me!) we were originally going to hop on Star Tours real quick (with FP+) before our breakfast but this would be such a time saver for us. I might let oldest DS and I go ahead to get spot in line and have DH with the stroller and two littles follow. (Oldest DS used to be our TSMM FP runner.) Now for some schedule rearranging!

Last year, Chewie came out at 8:00 exactly and we were the 7th group or so to meet him. We met in 3 groups of 2 and were done by 8:15.

Another thing you can do is send one adult to check in at SciFi and let the podium CM know your complete group will be catching up and you'll report back. At least you'll be checked in and if you can't get to the front of the line for Chewie by 8:15/8:20, you should just move on to SciFi.

We are going to check out standing at the exit gate for the parade and get pictures of the 501st today, then stop by ABC commissary to say hi to dome Dissers before heading over to EPCOT to get pictures of the Flowers before they take them down. We are currently in Star Tours line and will head to our spot for the parade after we get out.

I took some pictures of the fireworks from the DPP area.

Very short line at XWing. Regular line longer. Jawas just went inside.

Original plan was to be heading back into HS today for a final day of SWW, but it looks like that isn't going to be possible. So wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone here for your tips and advice, and for being so friendly both on the boards and in person. I'm normally anxious about talking to new people, but everyone was so approachable,and I appreciate that so much.

Didn't see Kiit Fisto, Mace Windu, Jango Fett, Rex, or Tusken Raiders, and our RH ADR didn't work out for Sabine and Ezra. But saw every other character, which is a LOT, especially considering this was over two days with multiple hotel breaks. Wouldn't have been possible without all your help!

So for everyone in HS dealing with the rain right now, or planning for weekend II and beyond, may the force be with you!

LOL I watched your video just now and DH is on it at the end. The guy with the orange rebels messenger bag. And the may the 4th green shirt from 2013. I told him to go your route but the video shows he obviously didnt listen.

Hello former lurker hear! Thanks to all. I have scored major points with the family with information obtained on this thread, especially with RH and jaws trading. I will post info soon to hopefully help others for future weeks. Now....we thought that our AP expired today today and was heading home. But called Disney and told different things but I @think@ I can go today. One request.....I am trying to summon the force to obtain 1 or 2 Bubba Fett steins. Anyone willing to sell me any in HS today? Will be there in 1 hour. (Advanced apologies if posting on wrong forum). Thanks! I love DIS and SWW!!!!

For anyone who did the Galactic Breakfast, were there light sabers provided as was once reported here?

 

[Ninja Mom]

I just met @The Sunrise Student!! But I was nervous and I think I called her sunshine (sorry).

That would be my fault... I'm the one who accidentally changed Sunrise to sunshine. I'm the Edith Bunker of remembering names correctly.

I think at one point I was screaming hello to MMA "Fighter" and it's supposed to be MMA FAN.

I do think that Mr. Sunshine is a very cool Disboards reference for Sunrise's "Arm Candy"/fiance

The ledge for fireworks is by Min & Bill's on Echo Lake. I don't know if there's a ledge for the parade.

I realized after I typed it, I meant to say fireworks, then I found the info............. thanks for answering though!!!
