I would love to see you guys again! We get a park ticket for each parade, so I'll come back into DHS on Friday or Saturday. Or both. Very Happy

I'd love to go, but living so far away in a city where air travel is so expensive, it's tough to go more than once a year. And if we are going, there's no way we're going to miss the Food and Wine Festival.

It looks like a lot of fun, though, and I see it only getting better now that Star Wars is officially a Disney property. Maybe someday...

The only other Star Wars Weekends I've attended is what, I believe, was the very first one. There was very little fanfare. In fact, I didn't even know there were Star Wars events going on until we walked up to Star Tours. I lucked out and got in the overflow line for Jeremy Bulloch and Peter Mayhew. Shows how much the event has changed. Now, I understand, people line up as early as 5:00 am to get an armband for an autograph!

Raven, that was the 2001 wasn't it? We didn't move down here and become passholders until Oct 2001, but we went in 2002... That was back when the SW Fan Club actually did stuff, my wonder wife got tickets to the fan club breakfast to meet Jeremy and Peter (and ride on Star Tours) before the park opened.... It was the best time!

BTW, we are going to come by and see you... even if we have to drag the in-laws with us!

I was still in college - we went over my spring break - so it was '98 or '99. I don't think they even called it Star Wars Weekends back then. Maybe they were just testing the waters to see if something Star Wars themed would be popular?

Sorry we didn't get to visit over the weekend, but I least I got to spy you guys on the parade route!! Hope you had a fun visit with the in-laws!

Last weekend was seriously one of the coolest experiences of my life. I'm a member of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars costuming group that focuses on the bad guys of the galaxy. Disney asks the Legion to participate in the Star Wars Weekends parade each year. As for the stormtroopers...my character is from that time period, so I swapped between them and TIE pilots. I'm already planning to go back next year. Very Happy

That is just too cool. And you weren't just some "extra", you were a sole character!!

I'm jealous!!
