Hey everyone in the OFF!
I am leaving for Star Wars Weekends in Walt Disney World next week and I am wondering if any of you have ever been to them or are planning to go.
Star Wars Weekends are a month long celebration of SW at the Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) Park. See this official link for more information.
Yes, yes...I know what some of you are thinking...she said she cannot afford to drive to Portland for the Starlight Parade, but is flying to Orlando! 
I am flying to PDX on Wednesday, have a loooooong four hour layover, and am taking the red-eye to Orlando. Once there, I will be marching with the 501st/Rebel Legion in several Dinsey parades. Can't wait!

I'm jealous also. Have fun in the sun, and enjoy your parades. See you do get to march in one or several, lol.
Luck, Jedi don't need any Luck. It's all simple tricks and nonsense.  
Have a great time Lufta!

Sounds fun. I haven't been to Florida in 7 years and have never been to Orlando.

Darn it, I wish someone from Oregon or even just the Northwest was going to this! Flying to CIII and CIV was also just as lonely. Oh well. See you all at the Starlight Parade sometime. Hope I did not sound like a snob - boasting about my trip and all. I have been saving up for it for a long time. Cheers!

I wouldn't worry about it. We are all happy for you. Just come back in one piece! ;-)
Have fun and be safe.

And make sure you get a picture of yourself on the Speeder Bike outside of the Star Tours ride.

I'm baaaack! Here is the requested speeder bike photo of me...
I was so honored to march in my Jedi costume with the 501st / Rebel Legion in two parades! There were a few folks like me from out of state marching (and a few from out of country - Italy and Germany!), but I think I was the only one from Oregon or Washington the last two weekends. One of the parade announcers said "All the way from places like Oregon...." when he was describing the 501st/RL participants in the parade marching by. I thought that was pretty cool.
Here is a link to some of my photos I took when I was a parade spectator on June 22nd, 27th, and 28th. I still need to find photos of ME when I was in the parade.
Enjoy!

Thanks, jawafett. Folks in the 501st were actually calling me "Oregon" because they said my real name was too hard to pronounce!
Here is a photo of me I found on the internet. I am the Jedi in the middle. The ewok looks taller than me, but I am 5'8" and the camera angle is wacky!
