Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Is there a certain place to go to likely your chances of your child getting picked for the parade? I'm torn though because I'm sure he'd like to be in the parade but then hed end up missing all the characters walking by because he's in it lol

Actually the kids picked get to watch the parade as it comes toward them to the stage. You can ask around the info tent in the front of the park. Good luck

Just completed a WDW survey that was completely focused on my SWW experience. There were a couple of questions about where I heard about the FTF package and SWW meals, with the word first emphasized in the question.

YAY! Which SW cake did you get? I was in the cake thread too since I was struggling with getting a SW cake - I'm ending up with a Chewie one.

@wdwalice and @Felipe4 please pm me on how to order a cake, that's amazing!

Here are the magic shots. The PP photographer was standing around looking bored when I did it, so no wait at all.

Those are AWESOME! Does anyone know if those magic shots are available during the week, or just during SWW?

So we checked into rebel hangar tonight at 630.

Characters present: chewie, 2 stormtroopers, 2 jawas, rodian pilot and bith pilot. Saw them all except the rodian.

They came out in groups and stayed for approx 15 minutes, them another group came in.

Chewie and the jawas were together, then the stormtroopers, and finally the pilots.

Most of the time they just walked the aisles and you had to express interest for them to stop. Don't be shy to jump up when they come. Most of the time when tables didn't express immediate interest the character kept moving.

Can anyone confirm if they are still selling the glow cubes separately?

I can't wait. Two days unit arrival and three days until my day at HS and Star Wars Weekend. I can't believe that after wanting to do this for so long, it finally all came together.

Spent the last 6 weeks watching all of the Clone Wars on NetFlix for first time to pregame for my first SWW. Just finished. So now what will I do until weekend V?

You have to buy any specialty drinks, alcoholic or non, to get a cube. You cannot order more than one per drink

I asked for a SW Vader theme. I was told about the Chewie cake but my DH loves the Dark Side. Lol!!

Behind the rocks (made of sugar), there is a hidden red light that reflected off the picture and illuminated his lightsaber. It was so cool!

and answering them (gasp horror) accurately! What a concept!

According to Kenny, Palooza doesn't always occur in the same location. There are up to 5 different locations where the characters can be sent for their meets. You could be waiting while Palooza is actually occurring elsewhere.
