Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Based on the line last night - yes, 7:10 will be far too late.



Correct, last night.

thanks for the report. Yesterday was incredibly busy at DHS, not sure if it was because MK closed early like @Itinkso said. So anyone planning on getting the droids and Luke and Leia try and get in line shortly before 7pm. Then you would have to let some people thru.

@jennab113 @lovethattink if you haven't gotten your cc refunded for the no shows at Rebel Hangar call again today. I did and it didn't show like I called them 2 weeks ago to get it fixed. She just did and sent me a receipt of the refund to my email

Was it Disney you called or your CC company. I just noticed I got charged also (As a no show ) plus my food order (which shows I was there).

For all of you coming in the next 2 weeks, there's still a lot of merchandise left. Here are videos of each of the Darth's Mall stores:

thanks for posting the PMC!
my kiddo is going to love it ... if we get lucky and get in a show!

call 407 828 5630 and press option 3 I think (the one that deals with charges during your vacation) It looks like they messed up big time weekend 1...I guess that's why we are the guinea pigs

Does anyone know if the PhotoPass shot with Jedi Mickey is included with the H&V meal, either digital or print? My server told me it was not included, but I thought I read somewhere that it was....

Everyone here has been getting the free download. They gave me a card for it at the front and told me it was free. When I went to get it, it kept wanting to charge me. After a couple of back and forths with support, they put it in "my downloads" for me. Hopefully yours works fine, but in case, support can fix it for you.

Folks that noticed the no show charge...did you see it on your CC account of Disney account? It is not on our Disney receipt, but maybe I need to have DH check the CC. I don't think he would realize that it was a no show fee unless I clarify.

also remember according to Berlioz Leia met with one family for 10 minutes (as everyone else was waiting for droids) so that would have thrown off the timing of the line (ie that was 10 minutes worth of meet/ greet people/ time lost)

Got to remember to check my CC statement when it comes for the Rebel Hanger 'no show' charge - will it say "rebel hanger" on it? We were there weekend 1 and of course did show up!!

Right! I will have him double check that just in case.

In mine it showed as:

That's ridiculous. A food charge AND a no show charge. How can things be that disorganized?! Don't they have a "so and so CHECKED IN" button like I used to at the dental office I worked at?! That should automatically discharge any party for the automatic no show charges that have been applied.

They had individual slips with your name, time and number in party - when we checked in at the desk they pulled ours from the pile and then when we were seated the hostess had it in her hand. Logically you would think any slips left in the original pile would be charged as 'no shows' ....since everyone else showed up / was seated. I'm hoping we don't have a 'no show' charge but (thanks to you all) I know to specifically look for it and what to do if it is on there! Thanks !!

You mean HARD COPY?!! As in relying on PEOPLE?

We got in line at 6:50 and the line was cut off RIGHT in front of us, and that's after they extended them 5 minutes. It was a big crew with Luke, Leia, R2, and C3P0, so it moved VERY slowly. I've stood in a lot of character lines, this is probably the most angry I've ever heard Guests. I did see people cry.

Thankfully, C3PO saw it was my birthday, and I was wearing a C3PO shirt, so even though they cut the line, he walked up to us to get a photo with me anyway. Sad I missed the whole crew, but still very excited for this photo (it was my golden birthday too, so I of course had to meet the best golden character):

So cool! I'll be getting in line at 6:45 then!

We did both the Jedi Mickey dinner and the galactic breakfast, both downloads are trying to charge me. Is there supposed to be one for free and how do I get it? Thanks!

 

[TheFabFive]

We had the best time during this event.

 

[Teamanderson]

Is photo pass and memory maker the same thing? We have never done it but for this occasion being SWW, is it worth it?
