Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

We saw one family bring a stroller into the PP dessert party area. But it looked like it was pretty difficult because there were so many tables packed together. I thought about going back for ours so our kids had somewhere to sit but there wasn't alot of room to park it around the table area. for the fireworks we ended up letting the kids sit on the table while we held them to make sure they didnt fall.

I am now back at work for the second day with my post disney blues. We had some fun at legoland on saturday but I feel like we missed so much that we did in previous years for SWW. Really wish I didnt have to use our second SWW day for it but we had already purchased tickets and since we had the 21 hour delay in our flights, we didnt make it on our scheduled day. But we did do the few things I wanted to do like the parade and fireworks (which were amazing) I think my favorite fireworks show to date. We didnt even make it to darths mall cuase we took an afternoon break to cool off and swim. Also didnt get the han solo popcorn bucket becuase we got free popcorn at the parade and by the time we came back to DHS we had rebel hanger then dessert party. Just never had time to do it. I really wanted one because my son has the R2D2 and darth vader buckets from the past 2 years.

Anyhow, hope everyone has a great time in the coming weeks. It was cool to meet the few of you that I did. Hopefully there are no hard feelings on the chewy run with Dewdrop and family. We maybe had a little too much fun rubbing in we were first 2 years in a row, with them 3rd last year and 2nd this year. It was all in good fun. I am not sure we are going to make it back next year so someone else will have to take over the top spot for day one chewy run.

AFAIK, the merch line is there every friday. They release a new set of vinyls each weekend to ensure the sales. I stood in the merch line on one of the last weekends last year.

good to know. Thanks!! did this started happening last year? I only knew of the merch line for first Friday but I think last year was the first time they released Vinylmations every weekend

I think in 2013. DH went that year on his own and he says there was a merch line each weekend then as well. But I don't particularly recall one before then.

Sorry if someone already asked, but what type of alcoholic drinks are available for the Premium dessert party?

 

[Teamanderson]

Has anyone lined up for Chewie not first thing in the morning, say afternoon? How

have you done the penny on your lap experiment on ToT? place it on your lap just before the drop and see it float

ive gotta try that! Cool!

can someone look on post 1 and tell me if you can see @Felipe4 character map? I can see it fine on my end

That's great to hear. I was disappointed if it was kid-sized. The standard tumblers aren't very large, but I love them for drinks at home. They are a practical souvenir that brighten my day when I use them!

I just looked and it is 16 oz. For us that is kid sized in our house - all ours are bigger, and by us most places selling them have kid designs in that size and little else. The SWW is a kid design with Mickey, compared to our larger ones at home we use that have SW designs.

And totally agree that it's a souvenir that I don't mind buying because it's only a couple dollars over what we'd pay for that same cup at home.

The Force - Bourbon and pomegranate lemonade
Jedi Mind Trick - Coconut rum and green apple lemonade
The Dark Side - an iced coffee drink with Baileys I think. I hate coffee.

Did they have beer? I looked but didn't see any.

after the rush in the morning the line will stay consistent at 1 hour plus....best time in the afternoon would be around 11:15am you'll miss the parade but you will meet him for his first set. He comes out around noon but without an ewok. The ewok's first set of the afternoon is 1pm

and thanks to a fellow DISer you can ask for pomegranate lemonade with a splash of coconut rum if you want (I learned I don't like bourbon )

I can see the map but I had to right click on the img icon and tell it to show image. After that it shows on the post

Ok it was the force I was trying to choke down. Our bartender filled half the cup with bourbon then a little bit of lemonade. It was foul.

Thanks! Was hoping they had the Tatooine. Guess I'll get that somewhere else.

With ADRs and FPs planned, I'm mapping out my "refreshment" plans.

I bet they won't give me a shot of rum to pour Coke into

 

[yulilin3]

I don't see it

can you try now

 

[flea1267]

Okay, dumb question ....but is it busier on Fridays or Sundays? Planning for next year but didn't know if anyone had a feel for which day was busier? Thanks! I assume Friday is best day but thought I'd ask the experts

yeah, it was bad. But when I switched the bourbon to coconut rum it was awesome
