I am not a huge Star Wars fan but I have attended a few Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the past. This year’s edition of Star Wars Weekends is shaping up to be out of this galaxy! Guests can feel the power of the force at Disney’s Hollywood Studios weekends from May 16-June 15, 2014.
Star Wars fans can meet and get autographs from some of their favorite Star Wars characters during the weekend.A FASTPASS is required to get an autograph. Check out the Disney website for more information on how this process will work. Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunters and more will also be available throughout the park for meet and greets, make sure to check your map and times guide for times and locations of these meetings.
For the first time in Star Wars Weekends history, Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker will appear June 6-8. He will be in the daily “Legends of the Force” Star Wars-themed motorcade and in a featured talk show.
New this year are Star Wars Weekends Dining Experiences! You may now book one of two exclusive Star Wars themed dining experiences. At the Jedi Mickey Star Wars Dine at Hollywood & Vine you can dine with Jedi Mickey, Princess Leia Minnie, Darth Goofy, Stormtrooper Donald, and Ewoks Chip & Dale for dinner. Prices are $55.99 for adults or $59.99 with Fantasmic! package and children are $32.99 or $36.99 with the Fantasmic! package. A digital photo of your party with the Ewoks Chip & Dale on a commemorative PhotoPass card is included.
If a Star Wars breakfast sounds better to you maybe the Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast is more to your liking. Held at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, you can meet and greet Stormtroopers, Jawa, Greedo, and Boba Fett and Darth Vader! The usual Sci-Fi movie clips will be replaced with Star Wars clips, trailers and music during this dining experience. Breakfast prices are $47.99 for adults and kids eat for $29.99.
