Being a Florida resident has it's perks, one of the best being that I can go to Disney World whenever I get the urge. Starting this weekend, it is Star Wars Weekends, and Hollywood Studios gets taken over by characters from Star Wars. Even Mickey and Minnie are in costumes. It runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday May 20th through June 12th.
Friday was the grand re-opening of the new 3D Star Tours ride, so as expected, the crowds are outrageous, a little bit more than normal for this time of year.

As soon as people were allowed in the park, I booked it to the back to ride Star Tours, and with the 5 minute line times, I was able to ride it 4 times. And every time there were different characters and places and scenes. The new ride is awesome, and there are over 50 different versions of the story, so you will experience something different each time you ride. I've got about 40-something more to go!
I was also able to get my picture with a few characters, including Dath Vader, and meet celebrity guest Daniel Logan. I'm going to try and see the Star Wars Parade next weekend.
