Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[jtowntoflorida]

Just want to say a big thank you to @jtownintoflorida for helping me secure FP+ for the Frank Oz show on the last night of SWW

Lizzi is the second DISer from this thread I've hooked up with Oz FP+s. I still have two left for Sunday the 14th and 4 for Saturday the 13th if anyone is interested...

I already have two for the BF and I but would love another two for my newbie friends if possible for the 13th

PM me! I can definitely hook you up.

If you go to "My Reservations and Tickets" and choose "Show Past Items" in the drop-down on the upper left, you can (or at least I can) see old ADRs, hotel reservations, and FP+s. I see all the way back to October 2013, the first time we used MDE.

This is awesome. From now one when someone claims that they were able to pull 12 FP+ for Soarin' in a day I'm going to ask them to screenshot that screen! LOL.

alright gang, signing off for the evening. Talk to you all mañana

The even worse question is how many people won't notice or even know about it.

I wonder if it's possible to change the card that guarantees a reservation. If it IS, I may take a visa gift card that only has $5 left on it and apply that to my reservations so that I don't have to deal with this mess! With a party of 7, $10 a head will add up really fast!

Can someone clarify...I thought I read this somewhere in this thread...did someone say that they discount sww merchandise during weekend V? If so...can you give me the low down. Thanks!!

You can go into your Profile section of MDE, but, I'm pretty sure you need a credit card/debit card linked.

It's probably happening at RH due to being a CS and never had to process TS ADRs.

yulilin said a 30% discount offered beginning that Friday on SWW Logo merchandise. We went on the very last SWW day and all logo merchandise was gone by that time.

I've never experienced a Weekend V SWW before, but I would guess that it would be some type of standard, move as much remaining merchandise as is financially feasible because logos, year-dates, etc will change. Can't sell something in 2016 with a 2015 date...

 

[lovethattink]

not sure what the question is...if you reserve for a number of people but less people show up it's not a no shows and will not charge you for the missing people...was that it?

Yes. That was the question. The first part was rhetorical on my part.

And if it doesn't sell in the park at a discounted price, the merchandise then gets moved to the CM store at a comparably discounted price.

I have a question about what characters sign and which ones don't. Where do I find that info?

I don't really want to do an autograph book I was trying to think of something else. My 13 DD has a star wars character book, but it is a bit heavy. We did something like that 2 years ago with the princesses and it worked out really well. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[jbc18]

Hey guys, can someone give me a summary of how Darth's Mall looked each morning at opening (and a little after) of Weekend 1? This Friday morning (Weekend 2), I want to drop into the park, get what merch I want, and get out. Is this possible, or is the initial line in the morning to get into Darth's Mall very long?

ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Say there are LE 1500 of an item. Are 300 released each weekend, 100 each day (15 days), or are all 1500 released the very first day?

Thanks for the help guys.

Catching up on this thread while waiting in line for a Tomorrowland screening. Had a minor scare when my sons Darth Goofy plush's light saber stopped lighting up. My DD2 had it in her mouth and it got too wet but it's all good now

There's a release of Vinylmation every weekend so that's the only merchandise that they do weekly. Everything else ids put out at the Mall until out sells out.
Not sure on line first thing Friday but I'd you're there before the park opens you'll have minimal wait

All of them sign minus R2D2 . Jedi Mickey dinner, none sign. At galactic breakfast only roaming characters inside sign

I did see an exception to the "no signing" at Jedi Mickey dinner. A girl at the next table had a Leia Minnie doll. Minnie picked it up, gave it to the CM she was with, and motioned like she was writing. CM explained that Minnie would take it back with her during her next break, sign it, and the CM would bring it back if they'd like. The people said yes, so they did it.

I wouldn't count on it, of course. Just thought I'd share.

If you're still undecided or want to learn more about the Rebel Hangar Lounge, check out my full detailed report:

DH took pictures of every table centerpiece and almost every corner of the Lounge. We also ordered all but one food item and have reviews for each one. MTFBWY!

I'm easing back into real life I did the Chewie run on Friday and the VIP Tour on Saturday...I'll try to answer any questions you may have, so ask away.
