{This is our first post in a monthly series where we have all 4 members of our family weigh in a single subject. We hope you enjoy.}
About 2 years ago, we were experiencing something new for us at Walt Disney World. Star Wars Weekends! We were traveling, in part to celebrate my son’s (Brother.Omouse) birthday and being that he is about as big a Star Wars fan as I am, we knew that filling our favorite place on earth with some of our favorite characters would make the trip incredibly special.
Star Wars Weekends is a special time at Walt Disney World, or at least at Hollywood Studios, when everything from the rope drop pre-opening entertainment, to the parade and even to the evening entertainment is all themed after Luke, Leia, and the crew. There are special shopping experiences, unique presentations, amazing themed food and what I think ended being the most photogenic attributes, characters!
Here are our favorite things about Star Wars Weekends:
- Sister.Omouse
- I am a super star wars fan and I love to celebrate! So I went to star wars weekend at Disney world. And Hollywood studios is packed full of people in cool costumes. I loved the parade, star wars parade has all of your favor it people like {Luke}, {Jedi Mickey}, and more. A cool thing is the car's dressed like space ships, when you go to star wars weekend!
- Brother.Omouse
- My favorite thing about Star Wars Weekend was the surprise my parents gave me. Durint Star Wars Weekend my surprise was called carbon freeze me. For those who don't know, it's an attraction where guests can get his face or her face scan bracket for affect the price bracket and printed onto a statute, in the style of Han Solo. When we went to the weekend, we had gone for my birthday. As we walk by the booth at ABC sound studio, bracket you know, the building with the huge American Idol ad? In bracket I thought of the oman houses were kidding when they said there was should be a reservation under our name. It took me a good while to realize that I was actually going to be frozen in carbonite bracket metaphorically speaking bracket now I have it neat little statue of a bracket handsome bracket young man that looks eerily familiar dot dot dot , Disney puts on many events.

- The best part of Star Wars Weekend is the character interaction. They have the traditional meet and greet where you wait in line and see characters like Luke, Padme, or Storm Troopers and they have charters that that wander around and interact with guests. We had two interactions that were amazing.
- The first was a meet and greet with Anakin. We were showing Anakin our very cool blow-up lightsabers and Ahsoka walked by after finishing Jedi Training Academy. She saw the pink lightsabers and got very upset at Anakin because he told her that pink was not a color you could use for a lightsaber. Ahsoka argued with Anakin over the pink lightsabers, he had to show her that our lightsabers were not good ones because they bent in the middle.
- The second interaction was with a charter that just wanders around. Sister Omouse and I were goofing off with our blow up lightsabers when Aurra Sing came up. Sister Omouse and Aurra Sing stared each other down. Sister Omouse did not flinch at all, she stood her ground.
- Dad.Omouse
- Its so hard to narrow it down to 1 thing. I am going to have to say that my top 3 things, no particular order were: the parade with the 501st and Rebel Legion, Jedi Mickey, all of the characters and celebrities and special merchandise and meeting one of the artists.
So I think its pretty obvious that we had an amazing time and that even the lines were incredibly long and the park was a lot more busy it was definitely worth it for us to go during one of the Star Wars Weekends events. Now as they say “your mileage may vary.” We are definite fans. We threw ourselves’ into the fun. We were prepared for longer lines and wait times (although we could’ve been more prepared). We can’t wait to do it again.
May the force be with you.
