Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[DekrRini]

This will be my first SWW and I have some newbie questions. I've also never done rope drop before. I've done some reading, but am even more confused. I have an ADR for the galactic breakfast at 8:20. I've read that there is some sort of pre-opening show with Storm troopers at 7:30. What time do I need to get there in order to not miss my ADR? Is there a certain place to enter for those with early ADRs? I know this is not a pre-park opening ADR, but I don't want to be late. I hate being later for anything.

I'm staying at the Kindani Villas at AKL. I'm guessing it's a 20-30 min ride from AKL to DHS so I probably need to leave at 6am. Do the buses start running that early?

Thanks everyone for your help. And your patience.

The stormtroopers are the ones that let us into the park. No one is allowed in until 7:45 when they let us in. So you won't miss your adr

My wife and I had an 8:20 ADR and waited in line to get an autograph. Because of this, we were pushed to the back of the turnstile line to get in. Once rop drop commenced, we slowly walked with everyone as they funneled in and followed the storm troopers. I believe we got to our breakfast (right across from Chewie) at 8am. So if we got there on time at the back of the line, then you shouldn't have to arrive mad early.

I got todays passholder poster if anyone is interested. No good to me without the stein.

 

[DekrRini]

Thanks everyone. Nice to know I won't have to worry about getting to the ADR on time.

Is this to say they have them, or they sold out again?



This is why disney will never give you a time frame of when something will open. either it be attractions,hotels,restaurants. There will always be some fool out there to say these exact words"well you told me it was going to be back open at 1130 and its now 11:32 you ruined my vacation, WAHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i want all my money back WAHHHHHHHHHH WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Last night around 5pm they put the sign up outside Darth's Mall that they were sold out. There were 12 left at that time and they kept announcing the number left til gone.

Someone told me that they are going to stagger the mugs each weekend so there are some for all 5. Not sure if that's the case or not.

 

[stasijane]

Im sure this was already posted, but in case anyone missed it here you go. I got mine early yesterday thankfully. It's still sad though That they are only lasting one day each weekend.

I have the Feel the Force Premium Package for next Friday 5/29. It says it starts at 10 am, when is the best to get there. I'm hoping to get one of the steins so what's the best strategy for that.

Just saw you and your daughter walk past the DPP FTF area. I was going to yell out but I was busy eating a Mickey bar.

We are interested in a Fett poster (can swap you a Yoda ) - but don't give up on the steins! Keep your eyes open especially at Peevys - they were selling them like hotcakes last weekend even when the other places were out of them.... you never know you might luck out. If you walk by and they have a long line jump into it!

I'll be eating lunch (11:00) at 50's prime time bar if you want to drop by for the poster.

We will definitely be there!

sadly we are now far far away in NC - I know handing it off will be much easier than mailing it so if you want to go that route I understand completely. Good luck getting a stein!!!!
