Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

LOL! We were the ones in front of you at Chewie. Hope breakfast is good!

We saw you guys in the Blister Pavk line as well! My son noticed you guys but you were a bit too far away to say hi. I almost asked if you were disers!

We've had a great day! Met Chewie and Logray, breakfast was awesome, middle DS built a Lightsaber with almost no line vs Monday when the line was 15 people deep, checked in for parade, watched parade, then helped DH get littles back to AoA and oldest and I went back to DHS, rose Star Tours, met stormtroopers, Commander Cody and Ahsoka, shopped at Darths Maul and hit a few more roaming characters. Now sitting in Stars of the Saga!

Hi all, sorry I missed many pages traveling yesterday and at MK this morning! Looking for advice - we will be at rope drop tomorrow to sign up for JTA for DS while DH and DD go to Chewie line. Any hints for making sure we are as close as possible to the front of the line for JTA? I plan to be at turnstiles with him by 6:45, is that early enough? We have to leave the park by 4 tomorrow for DD 3rd birthday dinner, so our options for slots are limited, so if we are too far back and get stuck in late day shows he will be so disappointed. We will be there Sunday too, but he wants to do PMC and, if possible, VttM sign ups on Sunday (which is also our DPP FTF package day.

Also, after 2 days with DD, it is 100% clear she needs a good nap mid-day. Since we have a short park day tomorrow, I'm hoping to find somewhere quiet to sit with her and try and get a nap in her stoller - any suggestions? We will leave if we have to, but I'd hate to take away more options from DS's possible JTA slots.

I saw you there as well. I am at the end of my rope with the heat so that line about killed me and we were 1 family back from meeting with Ashoka Commander Cody and Captain Rex. I about cried when Cody left. So we will have to try again..ack!

DS9 is signed up for Ray's show so we have to be over there at 4:30. I need a nap or just to lay down and throw a tantrum. Either way would work for me about now. LOL

I just wanted to chime in and say I miss the premiere theater. Theater of the Stars is a sauna.

 

[Monykalyn]

Sitting in stars if saga and no preshiw (yet anyway).

 

[lovingeire]

Oh and we checked in for FrF around 10:40 they told us they had plenty of passes left for all the shows. They gave us two for SotS and then 3 for Oni Wan since my husband was taking the little kids back to the resort to nap.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the temperature in the Theater so far.

It's way bigger though and allows more people to see the shows.

 

[Kevin_W]

Delmar. Ashoka has been tough. She's personable and her brutally hot line moves very slowly. We must have been just ahead of you in line.

We're parked right under the non-working fan...

as you enter stay to the left of Hollywood Blvd as close to the rope by Vine St. as possible (you will see JTA CM holding that rope) walk fast when they open, if you have a stroller leave it behind before attempting to sign up, they don't allow strollers in the line.
For naps, One Man's Dream and the Animation Bldg would be the best

I sat in the shade and let my son stand in the line towards the end because the heat was killing me too! I'm way too pale for this!

I'm so sorry you missed Cody! We had perfect timing because he came out solo and then Ahsoka came out a group or two ahead of us. Some people didn't get to meet her. But my oldests name is Cody so he was mainly worried about him.

Oh no! That is not magical at all!

probably waiting for Ray or Jeremy...

 

[Monykalyn]

Yeah I think so. Someone sitting behind us said her autograph session she didn't get her autograph as he ran out of time (not sure who it was) but she is guaranteed another session. So she ran over to SOTS

did they ever do the pre show?

Thank you! Stroller will go with DH and DD to Chewie. I'll tell DS to walk fast! Fingers crossed. Now heading back to MK, little princess has woken up from nap and is anxiously waiting her A&E fastpass time - although she has asked me about 110 times where Vader is. I think after 2 days at MK she thinks I was lying about Vader being at Disney World, lol! At 3 and being her first trip she still quite doesn't understand when I tell her that there are other parks we will go to.

 

[Monykalyn]

did they ever do the pre show?

Yes. Started at 3:30 and lasted 7 minutes
