Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

My kids like it all and watch them with their dad. I don't know a whole lot about Rebels, but they do. I'm game for anything. But I'm particularly game for whatever is the coolest.

They will enjoy Rebels then. SotS is more of a grown up thing. You get to hear anecdotes about making the films from the visiting actors. It's really interesting and JAT tries to throw some funny stuff in there.

I would only add one thing: we saw Rebels and SotS, and DD8 and DS10's favorite part of the entire 75min total was the pre-show for SotS -- LOVED IT! So funny.

We have been known to watch the pre show and leave once or twice. They put on a great show. It felt that this year it was shorter than years past but still very funny

the pass for DM that we get with the package, does this allow you instant access to DM? Or is there's special line for the pass?

with the DPP it's a separate line to go straight into Darth's Mall. We used it a couple of times that day for both Watto's Grotto and X Wing Collectible. No wait at all, they just check your badge and wave you in

I am glad to see you say that. I had been wondering if it was unacceptable to leave after the pre-show or even mid-show if the kids are not enjoying it. I would assume you would need to be seated near the end of an aisle for this to happen.

Also, I think I am missing something in regards to the glow cubes. What makes them glow and will they continue to glow after you get home? Thanks!

no worries about taking kids out of the theater even if you are not in the aisle seats.
They have a battery and a button that you can use to turn them on and off and to change colors

That makes much more sense! I was picturing a glow cube like the glow things you can buy that after a few hours they don't ever work again. Now I get why they are appealing!

We had the X-wing cube added to two of our drinks (at the RH) and the receipt showed them at $5.25 each.

that's interesting I had the Dagobah and it showed as $4

I think the X-Wings might be more expensive as they about double the size and have a clip so you can attach them to clothes, hair etc

makes sense

Glow Cubes have a battery inside them that operates the lights. They have a button that turns the light on and off, changes colors too. If the battery dies, no more light.

Good to know, I had been meaning to ask this question. I know my barely 3 yr old will never sit through the whole show, but I want to see the preshow!

makes sense

Let's not be hasty lol

If you have to take your child to the bathroom, are you allowed back in and able to return to your same seat? No matter if we go beforehand, as soon as DS7 sits still for a few minutes he tends to have to go.

 

[DisneyLove2015]

Never mind. Answered my question!

Just let the cm know that you'll come right back

I know several have posted Twitter handles last week and I was remiss in following.

I am going to try my best to tweet during WE III. If you are going to be tweeting from SWW or are interested in my WE III tweets, give me a follow and I will follow you back. @ricknote

Thank you!!
