Star Wars Weekends

Hello,
Sorry to intrude on your area but I will be visiting Orlando in a few weeks. Basically the end of March beginning of April. I'll be going to Disneyworld for a few days, okay that's the whole trip, but I was wondering if anyone in the are knew when Star Wars weekends starts or if it's a specific day. I looked on Disney's sites and they didn't have any specific dates put up.
If anyone knows it would be a great help.
Also, since my whole time there will be spent at Disneyworld I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to enjoy the whole time there.
Thank you
Mary

May 19 - June 11 is SWW
As for Disney, I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of the place, but I'm sure between the four theme parks, dozens of hotels, resorts, spas, shopping, and entertainment venues, you'll find plenty to do.

Mary,
It's no intrusion. Glad to have a visitor in town and on the boards.
Despite missing SWW, make sure you go to MGM. You'll have Star Tours (the ride) that empties out to Tatooine Traders (the gift shop) as well as The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular (which has its own gift shop).
If you get to Downtown Disney (a shopping district) check out Once Upon A Toy- it's got a nice little SW section. Lastly, if you end up at one of the major outlet malls, look for a Character Premiere or Character Warehouse- these a liquidation stores for Disney merchandise. Often SW and Indy stuff from previous years can be had for low prices. It's not uncommon to even find SWW things inside.
Have a great trip! -Campbell
ps- While at Tatooine Traders, mosey around the side of the building, you'll see the bunker/forest decor that remains from the era when the shop was called Endor Vendors.

Looks like there's been a change of plans. Now I won't be able to know when I'm going until I get my schedules from school. It's okay, this way if I do have some days off of school I could probably make it for Star Wars Weekends.

I am hoping to go to SWW next year '07, as this year my Walt Disney World trip is in two weeks, Feb 19-24. My cousin and her family are huge Star Wars Fans and I would love to take them down to Orlando for SWW.

Chances are fairly good for Star Wars Weekends in 2007 but it's not a decided deal till more than a year from now. Next year is the 30th anniversary of the first Star Wars. That could be a great date for SWW, or it could cancel them if someone puts together a big Star Wars Celebration (in 2002 due to C2 in Indy, Disney basically didn't hold SWW).
In any case, have fun at the parks and welcome to Orlando. -Campbell

Well I tried to get the tickets for SWW but with free trips you can't really pick and choose much for your dates. But at least I'm going so that's all that matters.

Hi. I'm new & have a question about SWW, so I thought I’d add it to this thread.
Do visitors dress up for SWW? Would it be weird if I show up in costume?

That was recently answered at our main boards. Check out this thread. Basically, yes, wear your costume if you want, you'll not be an oddity. Also, please consider joining us on OrlandoSystem.com for local Star Wars fandom. Welcome! -Campbell
