I am going to be releasing 1 FP for all the shows on this friday. I need to pick up FPs for MK.

So if you want to coordinate for them just let me know. Otherwise I will release them by 4pm.

number one question on the thread...and now we have a video

Something to do with JTA, me and my kids are to big for it, but really I'm only this menny, holds 4 fingers up

Ok I'll bite, what's rkt?

Where will the force awakens be playing in WDW? We are visiting December 20 - 26th and probably will not get a chance to see the movie before we travel. Would you recommend trying to watch it before we travel or spend the 3 or so hours while on vacation to see it?

If you want to see it on vacation in did this is what I would do, about a month and a half prior they should open up sales for the movie tickets. Go online Nd purchase your tickets from the AMC website, this way you'll have them. The first few days when the new avengers movie came out lots of shows were close to full or sold out

Just finished a complete report of our experience at the Rebel Hangar Lounge on Monday. DH took literally tons of pictures of every table centerpiece and basically every poster, prop, display and food item (we ordered every offering except for one).

Check it out! And if you would be so kind, could you please post any replies in the actual thread to bump it up? Much obliged and MTFBWY!

Just back from our trip for the first weekend. We had a great time. Weather, while very warm, was relatively dry. Did get to see several characters and although we were not able to get into Stars of the Saga on Friday, we did manage to get there early enough on Sunday to get in. Really enjoyed that show. A couple of observations: We had more than one CM running a character line that was not the least bit friendly or accommodating (Not the usual Disney). Also, I really wish Disney would figure out a way to do something other than rotating multiple characters in the same line. If you want to see Bobba Fett, or Mace, you want to see them, not Jango or Kit. We had to circle through a line more than once to get what we wanted.

At what time did you line up for SotS? I'm assuming you did standby

Be there at rd, no later than 7am, stay to the left, and follow instructions from yululin3's info on page 1 (best I can do)

I was just looking at my credit card online and there's a $10 WDW Dine charge on Saturday that shouldn't be there. The only ADR I had that day was Rebel Hanger and I ate there. I'm in a meeting right now, but I'm calling asap. Their paper ADR check in process seems to not be working well.

I agree, all of the info in the first post is awesome, especially for a newbie like myself.

That being said, it IS a lot of info, so would second the suggestion of splitting it up. When you start next year's thread, reserve the first 5 post or so for yourself, then you can separate schedules from package info from prior year reviews, etc.

But I wouldn't get rid of a thing! Thanks so much for all you do to maintain this thread and ensure that we all have the best SWW possible!

yulilin, I don't think you should delete anything because it's all pertinent info.

All the links to photos and reviews can be moved to POST #2. That will separate and maintain SWW facts and schedules in POST #1.

And with all that separated, how do you get to Chewie??

OMG I'm so happy you brought this up. My card was charged $30. It was supposed to be myself and my 2 kids but only steph and I went cause Gus had work. Do I call my cc company or Disney. This has never happened to me before

I would start with Disney and then go to the card company if things go South.

Call Disney, probably dining

I'm going to start with the Dining line. I'll let you know what they say. If they don't reverse it, I'll dispute it with my credit card.

thanks. I'll call Disney. I paid with cash and of course I threw away the receipt. But I know one of the CM that works there and also have pictures from the experience

I have a couple of questions for anyone that did the deluxe premium package:
-is there a separate lineup for the shows for the DPP people?
-how far in advance would we need to get in line for the shows (say, SOTS) for DPP?
-were you able to have front row (or few several rows) for the shows?

Did it rain during the first weekend and have any effect on whether the shows were happening or not?

Thanks!
