Disney and Star Wars could things get any better than that?

Posted on by AllEars
Once a year for 4 weeks Disney lets the Empire take over Hollywood Studios for its annual Star Wars Weekends. This year with Disney in full control there were some great changes in store… to start they extended the experience another weekend for a 5th weekend. It’s just simply an amazing time… For the past 8 years I have been visiting Orlando to celebrate Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios… you would think I was crazy how much I look forward to this trip all year long. What started out as trip for my obsession to the films has turned into a yearly reunion of great friends who share 2 of the same passions…. Disney and Star Wars… Unfortunately since I travel from NY I only have the fortune of going for 1 of the weekends so each year is a gamble as to who I will be able to get to meet. My buddy and I try to maximize our time as well as plan smart. We buy an annual pass 1 year and choose either of the last 2 weekends so that we have the choice of the 1st 2 weekends the following year, so this year we chose weekend 1.

Star Wars Weekends for a non-Star Wars fan

Posted on by AllEars
In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I am not a fan of Star Wars. Wait...what? Not a fan of Star Wars?!? Yes, it’s true. While I have seen each of the movies once, recognize most of the popular characters, and hum along to the theme music, my interest in the franchise is casual at best. Sort of like someone who only follows college basketball during March Madness, fills out a bracket for the office pool because everyone else is doing it, yet has no emotional investment in a team before the big event.
