Unbeknownst to me, the weekend we had scheduled to be in the World also happened to be a
Star Wars Weekend. For those who don't know, Star Wars Weekends are weekends in the spring when Hollywood Studios takes on a heavy Star Wars theme. There are Star Wars characters around the park for photos and autographs, there are special meet-and-greets, different shows, and the like.
Before going down, I was told that Star Wars Weekends are a time to avoid DHS. I am glad I didn't listen! Yes, it was very crowded, and yes, I didn't get on everything I wanted. But on the other hand, there were some amazing sights to see. What follows is a pictorial of our day.

Storm troopers provided security at rope drop. |

You're never sure who you might meet around the park. |
|
 |
Even the usual characters got into the spirit! |
 |
Behind Rock n' Roller Coaster they erected a big store call "Darth's Mall." (hehe) In addition to the usual Star Wars swag, they had a auction of some high art, including the painting above. |

Waiting in line for a photo with Luke and the droids. Unfortunately, R2 and C-3PO wouldn't stay out to get a picture with us... |
|
 |
...Though, 3PO came over to us and wished us a happy anniversary. Here's the quick picture we snapped before he had to go in for his "oil bath." |

A scene from the "Hyperspace Hoopla" show. Now I can check "watch Darth Vader shimmy to Rock Party Anthem" off my bucket list. |
