Star Wars Weekends - WEEK #3

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....



It was another incredible weekend at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Week #3 of Star Wars Weekends made memories for thousands of people, both young and old alike! However, for a certain group of young Padawans and their parents, "this will be a day long remembered" as they were invited to take part in the celebrity motorcade.

This grand motorcade features several of your favorite Star Wars Characters and celebrities. The procession begins at the front of the park and travels all the way to the Star Wars Weekends Event Stage—concluding with a grand celebrity welcome. 

As a prelude to the motorcade, select young Disney guests (and one parent/guardian) are invited to take part in the parade and march down Hollywood Boulevard in full Jedi attire with lightsabers at the ready! They are led by their very own Jedi Master and members of the Star Wars Weekends Special Events Crew. Falling in right behind them are members of their family who seem to be having just as much fun (if not more) as they are.


The Legends of The Force Motorcade is highlighted by the visiting celebrities of the week:

Steve Blum (Zeb Orrelios) from Star Wars Rebels

Daniel Logan (Young Boba Fett) Star Wars: Episode II and Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano) Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels

Warwick Davis (Wald and Wicket The Ewok) Star Wars: Episode I and VI

James Arnold Taylor (Obi Wan Kenobi) Star Wars: The Clone Wars (plus a MILLION other voices!)

JEDI MICKEY!

Introducing our PADAWANS!

A HUGE thank you goes out to the CAST and CREW of Disney's Hollywood Studios and in particular the Special Events Staff that makes these AMAZING memories possible each and everyday! Blessings to you all for what you do! We appreciate you more than we will ever be able to convey!

May The Force Be With You!

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour? It appears that area is destined to be home to a rather extensive PIXAR Place expansion. According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula...

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t...
