Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

[xApril]

Day has been pretty successful thus far.

We did Rebels, were second in line for Taylor, made it to Stars of the Saga before it started (sprinkled on), and now in the theater for Frank. Doesn't seem like it was necessary to line up super duper early. We jumped in line right after Saga and we made it in no problem. Bleachers aren't even filled yet & it's 15 before showtime.

A CM gave my son FPs for Taylor gray from 5-6:30. They are SB. currently waiting on Oz. What time do I need to be in line for Taylor Gray? TIA!

Just a quick question before we head out to Ohana for dinner on our down day #1 - DS6 built a single and a double lightsaber at Tatooine Traders yesterday (and yes, he indeed got his JTA - the only one costumed in his group, too). But we had it delivered to the room and picked them up fine. found out that one of the lightsabers lights up fine, but no sound. We are really looking to avoid that in the park tomorrow, which is why we were so glad to have that step done with yesterday. Any thoughts on getting it fixed, when our resort couldn't help us on site...without wasting time with a packed FTF day tomorrow? Thx.

So if I shout "DISSERS TAKE OZ" you guys are gonna yell back right? In third row behind the sound booth on far right side as you look at stage

Look left and wave.

Downtown Disney?

So bummed, we missed them! There were a couple of big groups doing group shots then individuals of each family member pics with them. We barely moved!

Costumes are fine, but your face has to be uncovered. Hoods are ok but no masks. Went straight to the FP line for Frank Oz after Stars of the Saga- maybe 15 people in front of me. I was one of the first out- long line behind me.

Good to know, thank you.

What is the number on standby? Go right after the show.

A friend of mine was in that line too and she was pretty upset that the cast members allowed that to happen since the driods are only out for such a short amount of time. They were so close to the front of the line, too, (were in line well before 30 minutes ahead of droid set) but then stopped moving once they got close. BI feel like they keep the lines running so smoothly for so many meets but this one rare meet kind of bombed today. 20 minutes for one group is pretty ridiculous.

I really have to learn how to use this new phone! Lol! Sorry everyone for the multiple duplicate posts!

My DH and boys got those random SB for Taylor as well and made it in to see him after Oz and made it back in plenty of time.for VttM.

 

[disneyluvrs4]

DS is doing VttM. Hopefully I can get some good pics, but something tells me he is going to be on the opposite side of the sage from where they have us parents. If anyone happens to get a good pic of little Jedi during the show, please let me know!

Didn't see it in time! Son started getting antsy and I got distracted. In Luke's line now trying to time droids with about 8 other people around me

Good luck!!!

Left at 6pm, saw about 5 chairs folded up chairs on the ground and one person in a chair already in line for Ray. Eating dinner and taking a shower then I'm going to head back before the fireworks start and start camping out for Peter. It's ridiculously early, but I want his first session and it's probably my last time camping out this year.

A Conversation with Frank Oz was so awesome. So humble. So entertaining. So glad we went.

Did the FTFDP package today and it has been worth every penny. My husband (and to a lesser extent my son) think I am a rockstar after this trip.

By the Luke and Leia meet if anyone wants to meet. Will be here until around 8:15pm

 

[MissTiss]

I still need Chewie & Vader (hope to get them in the morning), Ashoka, Rex and Cody, Shaak-Ti and Kit Fisto (will get in line after the parade), and if rumors are true and there aren't going to be Jedi Mickey and Friends next year, I need them too. Plus I have feel the force Deluxe. I'm swamped for tomorrow. I hope I can do it.

Any ideas on a plan?

. I Would love to but came back to BWI for a brief rest before the dessert party.

Thank you so much for this thread. You provided such valuable information that while at first was just satisfying my Star Wars curiosity, turned into a weeklong trip and an opportunity to relive some of my younger days and share it with my family.

WE DID IT!!!! Jackpot!!!!!
