"Star Wars Weekends is an annual special event at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park that celebrates the legendary Star Wars Saga and the animated television series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each weekend, you can join celebrities and characters for special shows, panels, presentations and more!" - from the Walt Disney World/Star Wars Weekends website
This year, Star Wars Weekends took place on May 20-22, May 27-29, June 3-5, and June 10-12. I honestly think I have become a bigger Star Wars fan simply because of this event at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is so neat to see the characters walking around the park, and really interesting to attend some of the special activities and shows. You can't help but get caught up in all the Star Wars excitement.
Check out this video of Ray Park, aka Darth Maul, doing a brief light saber demonstration during one of the celebrity autograph sessions.
An extra special part of this year's Star Wars Weekends included the reopening of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue! I love the new 3D effects, as well as the fact that you can get a different experience every time you ride. Now you have the possibility of traveling to different destinations with different characters, so riding once is not enough!
I definitely recommend Star Wars Weekends to anyone who has even just a tiny bit of interest in the Star Wars series. There is lots to see, lots to do, and lots of fun souvenirs to buy! Check out more photos on my Facebook page!
