Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

I'd like to trade a yoda for a boba for anyone going week 2

 

[Felipe4]

I just looked at the Roll Call thread - is anyone else actually doing all 4 experiences in 1 day? (Sci Fi, FTF, RH, H&V)? Or am I just crazy? I'm pretty much going to eat ALL the cupcakes.

This morning when I woke up, I turned to the BF and said, "In one month, L (my bff) will be picking us up at this time to take us to Disney." So. Excited.

Are these times just for today / Weekend I or will they stay they same all weekends? Thanks for all the info!! Enjoy you day Guinea Pigs!!!!!

Yulilin's getting the info from Attendants so scheduling will remain the same for all SWWs.

According to CMs

Week 1 Yoda
Week 2 Boba
Week 3 Maul
Week 4 Stormtrooper
Week 5 Chewie

We are looking to trade Yoda posters for Chewie and a Stormtrooper!

I know it was mentioned somewhere - but one per AP or one per family? Also, how are they given out? Easy to carry?

Chip works are by One Man's Dream. Jedi council is near old Pirates entrance. Free Annual PASS HOLDER poster is down by the Jedi Council meet.

Dang
I'll trade a boba for a maul if anyone is going week 3.

Hopefully I can get Maul and I'll let you know. I really wanted Boba.

 

[moobar25]

I'll trade anyone for Maul - DH wants that one. I will have Chewie available to trade to anyone that wants it.
Once I figure this out I'll try to start a Poster Trading thread.

 

[Flyz Ondewalz]

You must show proof of Annual Pass for the poster. They cannot scan magic bands so bring your AP card.

Does anyone know if the free DVC SWW posters are the same as the Annual Passholder posters?

DANG! Was really hoping Boba would be week 3 or 4. He is hubby's favorite.

We were told you can show your pass or your AP slider on your MB

One poster per AP. All 3 of us have APs so we each got a Yoda

 

[moobar25]

Does anyone know if the free DVC SWW posters are the same as the Annual Passholder posters?

Yes they are - according to this card posted earlier

 

[Flyz Ondewalz]

The posters are on thick cardboard stock and come rolled with a rubber band. I'm guessing the size but maybe 11 wide by 16 inches long.

Just post on the Roll Call Thread and update it with new requests. That way it won't get lost or moved by a Moderator.

I want to know how (like technically, how) they got such awesome photos in there. I tried to leave a comment to ask them to give some specific tips, but I don't want to create a new account (or login with FB) to do that.

I'm not sure if this has been answered in subsequent messages but thought I would offer my suggestions. First, it's about having the right equipment. A DSLR camera is really helpful and setting the aperture wide open (the lowest number) makes sure all the light gets in. Now, the lowest aperture depends on your lens so that will have an impact. Mine is 1.4 but most are 3.5+. You can also try a tripod to eliminate camera shake. If you are using a smartphone you can download a third party camera app from the app store that will allow you to manually set things like shutter speed and aperture. Again, taking the lowest settings will help. Hope that is some useful info!
