Exclamation Announced Today!! Star Wars Weekends Extended!!!

WOOHOO!!! My roomie who is a *cough* friend of the Stormtroopers *cough* came home today and told me that it was announced today that Star Wars Weekends will last an extra two weekends. Now, instead of June 12th as the last day, it will now be Sunday the 26th.

It was also announced previously that this would be the last year for SWW. But since the turn out has been in record numbers this year...they are reconsidering that. So, Take advantage of those extra days & visit Guest Relations on your way out...let them know how much you love SWW!!!

Want some cough drops? I got some lemon flavor.

But seriously, this is pretty great. My family is planning on going this summer, and maybe we can go around that time.

LOL mmm lemon...thanks!

If you can get a chance to check it out...DO IT!!! Be sure you get there early, not because of the crowds or anything, but because in the morning the Stormtroopers are on the roof of the turnstiles and they heckle the entering guests. Out of everything to see there, that is always one of my fav moments to watch. It's just a nice touch to let you know that things inside will be a little different than a usual weekend at MGM!

I am so glad. This will be the first SWW (or any special event for that matter) I will attend. The 26th will be my first day in DMGM (& I know I'm going there that day because we have reservations for Hollywood & Vine). I know everything is 'subject to change' but if I do get to see it, it would be pretty cool.

-Michael

That is awesome! I will be at DMGM on the 24th! Does anybody know how I can pick up tickets for autographs if there are any celebs there? Thanks for your help!

A continuation into the following years would be great and may well tie in IF Star Tours ever gets a refurb

If they have it next year then there will be Star Wars Weekends for the next two years. I don't see how Disney would miss an opportunity to cash in on the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars in 2007. There is rumors of the original film being re-released into Theaters and call it a hunch but I think that's when we'll get the new Star Tours ride completed.
