Star Wars Weekends 2014 Updates....

WOW!!!

So much news has been released about the upcoming Star Wars Weekends and we are just weeks away from it all being reality!!!!

Of course we have had the blockbuster news of Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, making his first appearance at Star Wars Weekends. We have had the announcement of the 5th week be added and the legendary James Arnold Taylor returning to reprise his role as host.  Disney has since announced several items of interest through out the last couple of weeks.

First it was announced of several dining options offered this year for the first time. These are Star Wars character based meals. For a Disney price, you can wine and dine while having photo ops with Star Wars characters who will be hanging around the dining hall. Also for the first time ever, the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, instead of the old sci-fi movies, they will be playing clips from the Star Wars movies. If you are going and want to participate in any of these dining events, make your reservations now! Spots will fill up quickly if they haven't already! You can make your reservations through the Disney website.



The news everyone was waiting for was also just released this past week, and that of course is the celebrity guest list. As I predicted, several stars from the upcoming Star Wars Rebels will be in attendance. Check out the guest list and what they are known for below!
