2013 Star Wars Weekends dates announced

[Master Yoda]

I have nothing against Ashley, she's great. I'd just like to see a little more variety is all I meant.

I wouldn't mind that either but the big names are don't seem to be interested, at least at with what Disney is offering. She also does a really good job at it and is just so good with the fans. I also have a bit of a soft spot for her.

We saw her at WL last year. We were waiting on the couches in the lobby near WCC for an ADR when her and her boyfriend walked in. It surprised the crap out of us when she made a bee line straight for us. My 10 year old daughter was wearing one of her "Her Universe" shirts and Ashley just came over to ask how we liked her stuff and basically just BS with us while her boyfriend talked to the concierge. That struck me as just a little bit awesome.

Sorry to bump this, but does anybody know who the other celebrity guests are going to be? And my boyfriend and I have an annual pass. Will that get us into MGM for SWW or is there a special event ticket for this? I've never been to one.

I was planning on auditioning but I just realized I won't be able to fulfill obligations, due to being out of town for a whole week smack dab in the middle of SWW season.

No special ticket required and not further updates on who will be there.

I'm getting goose bumps! My ds outgrew his costume he wore for Halloweeen so off to the fabric store this weekend to get supplies to make a new one! Won't hem it until the week before we leave! LOL

Thanks a lot, it's appreciated.

It would be cool if Disney could get him to come conduct a symphonic suite for one-night only or something.
by the way...John Williams is an immortal, musical GOD. Don't no one go tellin' me how he rips off Holst or Wagner...shaaat ap!! He's THE MAN!!!

I see this years SWW as being the calm before the storm. 2014 will be well on the way to knowing what Ep. VII will be about and get some teasing I am sure! I have gone a few times over the past few years and look forward to this event more than any other!

Amen to this!

What time does everyone line up for the FP to get autographs? Lets say Friday or Saturday at the park? Our weekend for the SWW is over the memorial day holiday. Definitely had planned to to HS on that Saturday but might go in the morning on Friday too.

 

[bethymouse]

Never been. Would like to some day though.

It depends on the celebrity. For the more popular ones, people will start getting in line about midnight. A couple of years a go when Ray Park and Billie Dee Williams were there I got in line at 3 am and was the second to last to get a guaranteed fastpass.

OMG I had to go find some liquor and pour a shot after that post from @MasterYoda. But okay I am good now. I am bringing as one of my carryon's that chair in the bag that I take to the ball park and to Walmart if I am doing Black Friday. I'm good. I am ready. Dinner at Ohana's thursday nite late...go take a nap for a couple hours, get up at 1, shower, grab some coffee in the mug and the chair and call a cab to HS...I will be like him in line by 3 .

Like I said it depends on the celebrity. Billie Dee is just shy of an A lister in Star Wars circles and does not do SWW often making it a worst case scenario. Most of the Clone Wars cast can be done with a 6-7 am line up.

 

[Figgy1]

You also must remember that Mr. Williams also has a female following of a certain age. LOL

 

[ourdisgirls]

I hope it's o.k. to post this here: Made my husband the Darth Maul ears two years ago when we went to Star Wars Weekends 2011, they were great for getting an autograph from Ray Park!

 

[IWant2GoNow]

I know I always get a little antsy with SWW celebrity lists every year but we're two weeks away & all I've heard is that Billy Dee Williams will be there June 7-9th. Why have they not released the full schedule yet?

Do you remember what day you went on to see Billy Dee? I was there that year & my friend & I were the first two people to get Stand By tickets. We went on Sunday. Just thought it would be kinda odd that we would have been right next to each other & never known it. Haha.
