Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Heading out. Goals for today:
Not die from heat exhaustion (I can feel I'm already dehydrated after consuming ridiculous amounts of water all day yesterday)
Lunch meet
Record PMC kids version
Record what's available at Darth's Mall so all you still waiting to come can see what they still have available
Standby for SotS (again not die from the heat)
Come home without a headache
have a great day everyone

Which PMC are you planning to record? My boys are doing 12:15. : ) thanks as always for your help- I managed to get here a little before 10 like you suggested and snagged the front wheelchair spots for the DPP FTF. Hope everyone has an awesome day!!!

Yep that's the one you're recording

Anyone else doing the Chewie run with me this morning??

Got here around 7:05 and are about 5 families back from the tap stiles. Not bad since I have 3 tired and crabby kids with me today (and yes, that count includes DH!).

Hope to run into some of you today!! SciFi at 9:10, FtF then RH at 5:30. May the force be with you all today!!

I bet we were real close to you. I think we were the 3rd or 4th family. I am the one in a boot riding a pink scooter with 4 active kids and their not so active grandparents in tow. (Hard to miss us). Hope you have a great day & maybe we'll run into each other.

Pictures from yesterday. Sorry for the amount of them, Stephanie loves to get different reactions of the celebrities during the shows. There are pics of the Rebels and Stars of the Sags shows. As well as a new "make your own postcard" station and X Wings Collectibles. You can pick a background, different stickers and just write a message and send it to any email (for free) The african american guy holding a blaster with Steph is a YouTuber she watches called Swoozie (watch his videos on being a Disney CM they are funny). An improptu photoshoot inside ToT, and of course, the character meet dream team. I'll post the relevant ones individually in the next couple of posts
Report on Darth's Mall lines: non existent through out the day. We went in the morning, before the parade and in the evening

In case anyone was wondering, Sci Fi was taking walk ups for immediate seating a few minutes after 8. My friend asked and they said they could seat us right away but I waited in the Chewie/wicket line instead.

Random food question for Sci Fi...is the kids darth vader waffle any smaller than the adult one? Or are they the same?

 

[yulilin3]

Funniest thing overheard while being behind the stage during the parade: can you see Anna and Elsa from here?

 

[southernfriedmom]

Anyone here today have a Yoda poster they are willing to trade for?

 

[yulilin3]

@southernfriedmom got most of the show recorded. Will upload tonight. Sorry we missed you, after the show we went straight for lunch
Lots and lots of grumpy people Around today, everyone looks overheated. Walked by tsmm, 140 minute wait, fp line goes down almost the entrance of pixar place

Have you asked in the dvc kiosks? They had them yesterday

Luke and Leia start their meets at 4pm next to the GMR exit. In the morning you might see them roaming around the Star Tours areas.
R2D2 has come out during the parade.
R2D2 and C3PO also come out during the PMC family edition.
And only have come out during the last set of the night next to Luke and Leia. If you are interested in meeting them get in line around 7:15pm. As soon as they come out the line gets incredibly long and the close it. If you are too far back you won't meet them.
Yesterday they came out at 7:45pm, Luke followed a couple of minutes later so we had the 4 of them meeting for only 20 minutes and then Luke takes the droids away and Leia stays meeting everyone left in line by herself.
It's hard to time it but it's doable.

I would love this. If I got in line around 7:15pm would this affect the FTF dessert party? I assume I would be done by 8-ish? I would be happy if this is the only photo I got!

Thanks so much!! My sons were on the far right. My oldest is our SW genius but got out first because he had his light sabers in the wrong hand & wasn't paying attention. Classic for him... extremely high intelligence with zero executive functioning skills. Haha I looked for you afterwards with no luck. Maybe we'll run into each other later. I'm currently in that super long TSMM FP line. I'm not DVC- are they checking proof and if not where

You can tell them that they sent you from the ap distribution. They told me yesterday i could go to dvc with my ap for the yoda one.
I think we got him on video

You'll have enough time to go check in. We got in line at 7:10 and met them around 8

No lightsabers at SciFi this morning

We got one each this morning with a 9:20 reservation. The host stand gave them to us as we left.

 

[msdisnut]

The area is between the exit to gmr and abc commissary. Link the character schedules is on the first post


Parking lot is open all night long. No one is manning the tool both until about 6, so you can enter and anywhere you want

Thank you Yulilin3! Can't wait for SWW IV!

My kids were signed up for the 12:15 show today, but they chickened out on the way to the stage. We are headed to the hotel for a rest and will be back tonight for JTA and RH.

 

[Billabongi]

Still looking for someone to help me out with a Maul poster and possibly a Stormtrooper poster. Don't want to have to go to eBay so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

[jthornton94]

Well, we are leaving Disney today. I'll be back on here in probably three years to plan again. This year was great though, despite the rain and missing RnR and ToT. Hope everyone else has a great time.

I have a question. Are the personalized nametags passholder exclusives? I read that somewhere. I will be sad if they are!
