Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[basketrn]

A bit of an off topic question. My friend started making items similar to these, she's not selling them yet. But wanted me to ask my Dis/SW friends how much would you be willing to pay for something like this?

OMG!!!! Sooooo cute and I would soooo buy these!!!

Can someone remind me the locations and prices of the build-a-lightsaber stations please? I'm thinking the locations are Tatooine Traders and Watto's Grotto in DHS, Once Upon a Toy in DTD, and a store (Star Traders?) in MK.... Any differences in the locations (saber parts and options) anyone know of? How much for a single and how much for a double? I'm pretty sure I read in here somewhere that on the double both ends light up now. Thanks!

Yup, both ends light up on the Darth Maul lightsabers @ $39.95. Approximately $23 for the single lightsabers.

I'm having a clueless moment. can someone help me place the Character on the left? I know it's a Model Node. After that I have nothing.

Huge thank you to this site and especially yulilin3!!!! We were at HS all day today and finished with dinner at Rebel Hangar! The portions are huge! The drinks are pretty tasty too. I tried the tattooine sunset and the dagobah swamp juice. We saw a storm trooper, Greedo, Chewie, a jawa and a cantina band member in a pilot suit-- not sure what was going on there, but the experience was awesome! There is a ton of SWW merchandise being sold all over the park- autograph books, tshirts, pins, but we could not find a magnet. Anyone know where they'll be tomorrow?

About cooling wipes. Never heard of them till this thread. Are they the same as baby butt wipes , or would I find them in a store.

I ordered mine from Amazon. They came in little individual packages like a wet nap. Not like a butt wipe

Good to know about the sww merchandise being available during the week. I'm glad you enjoyed Rebel Hangar. I think it has proven to be a success

Ugh.....just realized my H&V ressie is the same time as convo with Frank Oz.....grrrrr

Looking at week V.... It seems there is no real god times for dinner if you want to go to all the shows

Does anyone have a review of the Feel the Force Premium Package? We have tickets, but I'm trying to decide if it's worth it. We only have 1 day at Hollywood Studios and we want to do the traditional HS things in addition to SWW things. I don't really want to get in line at 9am to get my FtF tickets to then move to the parade viewing area at 10 and spend another hour waiting around for the parade, etc. Opinions?

Thank you!

Anyone know if all the locations have the same options?

All is quiet here at the studios at 10:25pm

Not sure about the DtD location, but as of yesterdaay, the double ended ones are available at Star Traders at MK && at HS (DS12 hs his eye one one and has been scoping them out).

Eat a big (late) lunch and then snack your way through until after the shows!

I'd also like to know the location of double ended light up sabers. We have only built them at downtown previous trips and only one end lit up. Glad they do both ends now!

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but did anyone have a problem with the deluxe dp area,
We had a table at the front, and all I saw throughout the stage show was a man with a selfie stick held so high,it was in all my video and pics!!
We also had two people decide to leave their table which was next to ours at the front, and came ans stood right infront of ours for the whole thing! No consideration what so ever! I'm only 5ft so could not see well over them, which meant I had to move away from our stuff to see the show.
Personally I think the areas should be somewhere else where not every one can block you view by kids on shoulders and selfie sticks held high,
I don't mind the sticks for taking a quick pic but having it constantly raised so it blocks others views I thought was really rude.

The guy at the table in front of me in the area had a selfie stick in my way so not isolated to outside the area. I knew from last year to get a table as far back as possible because of the fireworks and I'm a hair shy of 6ft so didn't have any viewing issues it was just annoying and I wanted to smack it out of his hand.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. I would write guest services and just give your honest feedback. I think it is fair to give them all perspectives.
