Star wars weekend???

[mrsschlep]

This is probably on the site somewhere but I can't find it. Does anyone know when star wars weekend is for 2006? I think it's usually in May sometime, right? Can you also tell me the different festivities that go on during the weekend? TIA for any info.

Here's a wonderful site run by our own QuickGold with tons of Star Wars info, trip reports and pictures: http://sww.mgmstudios.org/main/pictures:

DNeph (7) and I just attended our first SWW in June and we had an awesome time - spent 3 days in a row there - he got to be in the Jedi training, the trivia contest - pretty sure he got an autograph and pic with every character that was there !! - only down side was it was HOT and crowded !!

We too were there in May, to be met by Storm Troopers at the gate was fantastic, DS (4) was amazed.

There were special guests in the park, I apologise as I cant remember who (one actor and one of the CG effects guys)

And being a lifelong Star Wars fan (although my favorites are still the "first" trilogy - but thats just my age and Harrison Ford) the Star Wards Parade that took place at 11.15 am was just unbelievable. Seeing Darth Vader, AR2D2 and C3PO walking towards you is a sight I will never forget!!

And I sooo wanted to buy the Light Sabre in the store (but at $180 and having to get it home to the UK I had to pass!!!)
