Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[animalkingdom15]

Thanks everyone who explained earlier in the week where stuff was. While I said I wasn't going to get a t-shirt, I got one anyways. I was in line getting the figures at X-Wing's when I saw the Luke magic band behind the counter (which the GF check in CM's were more than happy to add to my account for me) and then saw the passholder t-shirt which I didn't even know they had. Missing from the picture is my boba fett stine that's sitting on the counter in my room. That was the first thing I got. Here is a picture of what else I picked up today and I will be wearing the new t-shirt and hat tomorrow.

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.

What time did you hit Luke & Leia with the droids?

What time did you hit Luke & Leia with the droids?

We got in line about about 7:15. Luke and the droids came out about 7:40ish.

Has anyone used the bus from CBR to HS on a SWW? We would like to be there for the opening show and rope drop. Will we be able to get a bus that early and how much time should I plan to get there?

Really lucky on timing as we walked up and got posters with no line...and no id checking either.....were able to scoot into Watto's quickly and grab my pasholder shirt....then walked over to where the clone troopers were meeting and just as I asked the handler about the jawas, out they came! They loved Livvie's minion jawa mashup shirt

I think I got the same shirt for DS. Are the Minions/Jawas taking apart R2D2? I think I got it at Tee Public.

I'm so excited about my actually SWW day tomorrow. Now I can go and have fun and not worry about trying to find time to do and see everything I want and get to all the stores and pick up what I want.

I also found out from a CM that the bus tomorrow from GF will be leaving at 7 am and should get to HS around 7:15 am. I think getting to HS 45 min early should be early enough.

Anybody who had Galactic breakfast reservations today, were they still handing out the mini light sabers/wands.

yes, there should be enough for the remainder of the breakfasts now. You can pick your up after you are done eating at the host stand

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

My DH said the same thing about wanting a CD. He really enjoyed the music. I wonder if one will be created....

Thanks. I know it's a small thing, but I will take it.

Yep that's the one and where I got it. Unlike the adult shirts, the kids ones run a bit big and dont shrink.

Getting ready for SWW with Dallas FanExpo. That is my DS.

Back home and back to reality now, but just wanted to say how nice it was to meet 4 fellow DISers in person yesterday: @Cluelyss, @jennab113, @RedM94, and (who else) @yulilin3. I wish I didn't look so whooped after a couple of long Disney days. Hope the rest of your trips and SWWs are great fun!

Long day in the park today. Arrived ad 6:00 am and just arrived back at POP. Awesome day and met lots of great people. The VIP tour is worth every cent and I would not hesitate to do it again.

@yulilin3 Steph's costume is phenomenal!!! I loved it when back check made her I holster her boasters.

She has inspired Mason. All he keeps talking about is making costumes for us both for next year.

I apologize to anyone who may have tagged me on any messages in the past two days. I just realized that triggers an alert.

Have a great night!!

Offered this up on the cancellation thread but there were no takers - I am going to cancel a Jedi dinner for 5 people for June 13th, 850 pm (not Fantasmic). If interested, PM to coordinate. Otherwise I'll cancel on Monday 6/1

 

[jane2073]

I just discovered that I have three premium FtF packages for this Friday, the 5th. I made the made two reservations that day and then promptly forgot about the second one.
I will release them tomorrow in case anyone wants to coordinate.

So nice to finally sit down and talk for a while. Please say hi to your daughter and wife for me.

Nice seeing you again this morning. Mason will have fun being creative with costume making, the only problem is that he might get hooked, Stephanie is now planning more for next year's Mega Con
So happy you had a good vip day.

Had a great time at our fireworks meet. My favorite part was seeing the kids loving the fireworks. Of course I forgot the username of the DISser that came with the whole family but I adored your children, so well behaved and so fun to talk to.
@TwinPrincessMermaids nice talking with you as well. I hope we see you around

Not sure but the traffic was ridiculous leaving HS. Bus probably not a dream either since you gotta wait for it but I see where you are going with it. Next time, I'm gonna stock up on protein bars and hop to MK or something.... I do have to say, everyone was super friendly letting people merge and get in. Nice Disney spirit. Is traffic less bad on Friday or Sun? We didn't even think the crowds were stupendous...
