SWGE AP previews - Meet Ups

[NWasikWare]

I'm August 20th, 5-9pm. The Land + Savi's to build a lightsaber! Probably driving down the morning of, and leaving the next morning. I'll be flying solo, but not sure which hotel I'll be staying at.

I’ll be there the 20th too! 1-5pm Picked a hotel yet?

I am wondering the same thing about an 11-3 slot on 8/21. I dont recall seeing one and no one so far has it here either i dont think. hmmm.

Ooh that would be cool if we had the first full 4 hours with no overlap! (I’m booked for 8/21 for the 9-1 time slot with Oga’s and Falcon). Can anyone confirm that?

 

[AngiTN]

May I suggest everyone getting the green "I'm Celebrating" pin and write "DIS Meet" on it? Even in passing- at least we can wave as we see you walk by

back in the day Disboard peeps would print one of these and laminate it and hang it from their purse or backpacks so they are easily found. Many went to Home Depot or Lowes to get the paint swatches in lime green.

I was going to suggest getting one of the I'm Celebrating buttons and drawing a Green Mickey head on it. They make sharpies in the exact color.

My 16-year-old is totally jealous but she has field hockey non-stop starting August 1.

I'm going to have to think about the best strategy. Since I have the 5-9 slot, we don't overlap for the last two hours, so I'm thinking that might be the best time to ride the Falcon. I considered going to the droid shop right away, but then I'm carrying the silly things around all night. As an aside - since there are two of us, I can make two, right? I hope they have the personality chips available. I think when I looked at reviews of the DL experience, they had sold out right away.

I am pretty sure you can make them and then pick them up later, they will hold them for you.

Yep! Got a nice All Star Music room for a nice AP deal.

Can I ask how much the AP rate was? I’m booked there on the summer deal, but will call if the AP rate is better.

Everything is booked

Everything is booked

Well there ya go. Summer discount it is! Thanks for the heads up.

 

[NWasikWare]

We all need to just room together I’d seriously be open to sharing with another mama on a solo trip!

 

[cheshiregoofy22]

All Star Sports is available for AP summer room rate of $145 per night 8/18 to 8/21 preferred location only (seems awfully spendy!) Or you can get it on Orbitz for $128 per night currently. If that’s any help to anyone. (Just realized I had it set for four adults in the room, my bad!) $115.00 with just two adults on the Disney website AP.

It's also on Hotwire....

I’d be down! I’m a solo mama, and will be there 8/17-21. Message me if you’d like to discuss it further!

I need 1 night in a hotel, 8/17. Is it worth the Uber $ to stay at the Swan rather than on property and use the ME? I can get a good priceline deal on the Swan or what looks to be a moderate for about the same rate. I can get a passholder rate at an All Star for about $20 less. /firstworldproblems

One benefit to staying at the Swan is you can walk to HS (or take a boat), unless your property options are BC, YC or Boardwalk. I wouldn’t count on the gondolas running on a soft opening during the previews.

I always tack on at least 40 bucks (Mears shared ride shuttle - cheapest airport transportation option) to any off-site hotel price (and don't forget the resort fee) to see if it is worth it. For one night though, I'd go with the All-Star, but I'm a tad biased because that is the only place I stay.

We’ll shoot, kinda (not really) wish my non-AP hubby wasn’t tagging along! Then I could join the solo mamas!! Sounds like fun!

Can you get all star movies? I don’t think I saw it when I looked but that would be a good option since they’re renovating

 

[N.Lo]

I'll be there! My reservation is for Monday the 19th from 9-1. This is my first solo trip. Now to book a hotel. I see the a good deal on priceline for $71/ night.
Edited to add, I have Oga's on my reservation, too.

It's Sports. I've only stayed in the Epcot area in all the times I've visited. For one night the room doesn't matter a ton but since there isn't a super deal out there I'm thinking it might be worth a little more $ to stay at Coronado or the Swan.
