What Extra's Star Wars Weekends??

[luxfirsttrip]

We will be going to MGM on a Sunday in May, which is during Star Wars Weekends. What extra things do they have going on and what are the times?

I'm not sure of times, but when I went in 2001, there were Star Wars parades, celebrity appearances, children could battle Darth Vader with a lightsabre and there were exhibits outside Star Tours, like an X-Wing and full-scale models of Artoo and C3P0

Also, lots of Star Wars character meet and greets, Star Wars-themed Who wants to be a Millionaire, trivia contests for adults and kids. Last year there were some talks by people involved in making the movies.

These events usually run through the day. I think they kick off with the Star Wars parade at around 11:00, and end at 6:00.

Mickey will be dressed in a Star Wars themed outfit- make sure you get your picture w/him.

Jedi Mickey is located in the place where Fantasmic Mickey is at. It is one of the buildings on Mickey Avenue. My kids really enjoyed this special week. Don't forget to look up when you are entering the park becasue stormtroopers are everywhere!

So is the Star Wars parade at 11 and then the normal MGM parade still at 5:30 or whatever time it is on the schedule for?

Last year, Stormtroopers (the ones in the white suits) walked back and forth across the top of the gate at the entrance to MGM. It was neat.

I love seeing all the people who show up in Star Wars costumes. It's great fun!
