Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[hauntedcity]

Guys, I need help! After trying for weeks, I had almost given up hope for FYF premium package, but checked one last time on a whim and got 4 spots for the family!!! Now, I realize I have no idea what to do tomorrow. I know we're supposed to show up at 10am, but when SHOULD we show up? Does getting there early help in any way? And what's the best time to show up for the parade?

Any other tips or suggestions for best taking advantage of this?

I'm so excited!

Thanks,
Doug

How's the weather? If it was raining close to 6:00p, the characters won't come out.

@hiroMYhero no, it has been cloudy, but no rain over here since 6.

If you want to have spots on the front line up at 9:30 at across from Min and Bills. No need to line up for dessert party. Have fun

Well I'm taking off heading back to GF, but at least I got all my souvenir shoping done today, so I won't have to do it tomorrow.

It's been down for 2 days now due to emergency maintenance issues according to some other threads.

Thanks. Just saw the other thread. On my phone at AK and going to HS tomorrow with a first timer. Hope it is fixed in the morning. Also, glad I chose fast passes for TOT and TSM.

I'm happy I came for a couple hours today. I got the feel for where every thing is and now I know where to go for breakfast, FTF checkin, etc. I also figured out that it's about 15 min from GF to HS. Still haven't decided Disney Trans vs taxi for tomorrow.

If you love Star Wars and love elevator/holding music do yourselves a favor and eat or chill inside Backlot Express...you'll also enjoy it if you have a Rebel Hangar ressie....it's so cool and I want the cd

I used my phone to identify it. It's by the Evil Genius Orchestra. I downloaded it from iTunes. Loveeeee it.

At the ledge if anyone wants to hang out. Got the group shot of Luke, Leia, R2d2 and C3PO. Got in line at 7:15pm

 

[jennab113]

Woohoo! This afternoon I perfectly timed Captain Rex (with bonus Ahsoka), Mace, and thanks to @yulilin3, Luke and Leia with the droids! So sad that my SWWs are coming to an end, but today was pretty cool.

I thought you could name them! ODS did his at Darth's Mall. I wasn't thinking about it, and we paid without getting it named. Then I realized and DH went back in to ask. They said no names. The guy "working" the station didn't seem to know what he was doing when we were building, so I'm not surprised he was wrong about naming it. He clearly had never worked the b-a-d before. ODS doesn't care. He wrote it down himself lol.


$12.95 for one, or two for...$21.95? Maybe it was $22.95, a slight discount.

They give you a black page of sticker letters to make the name. If it isn't in the package go back and ask for one.
