I was at Disney-MGM Studios on June 10th, and took some time walking around the park to see what the event offered guests.  My triplets are still too young to appreciate Star Wars, so we were only able to see the events peripherally, but if you or your kids enjoy the Star Wars movies, books, etc., you’ll have a great time at the Star Wars Weekends. 

As we circumnavigated the park, we saw special tents set up for celebrity autograph signings and photo opportunities with cast members dressed as Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Jedi Mickey Mouse.  We spent a few minutes watching the “Padawan Mind Challenge” which was a trivia game for children held outside of the Star Tours attraction, and we passed by a special Star Wars merchandise shop. 

The Walt Disney World website lists a variety of other events as well as celebrities and characters scheduled to appear at the 2007 Star Wars Weekends.  I can’t wait for my kids to get a bit older, so they can try the Jedi Training Academy!
