Well with Botcon going on this weekend I wanted to share for those who don't know that Disneys Hollywood Studios in Orlando is having it's annual Star Wars Weekends

It usually is about this time of year each year running for four weeks the last two weekends in May and the first two in June.

Right now is the second weekend and here is a video of the first week ...which was last week and included is Star Tours for those who never had the chance to experiance it.Also there is a Star Wars themed store when you come out of Star Tours called the Tatooine Traders

We were there last weekend for my oldest daughters 16th birthday.
I was supposed to march on Sunday but something came up and I was not there in time. So I walked around Hollywood studios in my officer costume (got a lot of attention and thumbs up from Disney cast members too. They have MAD respect for the 501st).

Some new items I noticed were the gray SWW shirts (New shirts every year for pretty much every ride I was told by a Disney employee).
They had some items that I did not see last year like the Muppet SW vinyl figures (they come in a box) and a few other items.
I only nabbed a shirt.

The Hasbro Store in Downtown disney had the Muppet figures they were there collecting dust after a year


Well I was there this past sunday and got some videos

I'll admit there not the greatest

Some videos seem rushed but the people I were with basically were rushing in

This is the entrance to Disney World ...one of many

Entering Disney World

We hit Downtown Disney first to look throught the Hasbro store then we hit the Hollywood Studios

After we got in we headed to the Wicket Warehouse which is only open for Star Wars Weekends and came upon a case with new Disney Star Wars figures out in July

We then headed to Star Tours where the parade ends
