Disney Timeshare in May or June if You Are a Star Wars Fan
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Highlighting another great blog on The Timeshare Authority Blog Roll, we thank our friends at the Mousekingdom Blog, an excellent resource for anyone who loves Disney and the Walt Disney World theme parks.
The update on the Mousekingdom Blog last week is fair warning to Star Wars fans to plan their Orlando timeshare vacation to include a weekend in late May or early June. Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the first release of the original Star Wars movie along with the new animated series The Clone Wars. During a month of weekend celebrations, park visitors will have the opportunity to met original cast members from the film series. Be on the lookout for Ewoks, Wookiees, Stormtroopers, and Jawas invading the park! You and your family can join Star Wars celebrities, Jedi Masters, and Sith Lords for special shows, presentations, memorabilia, and a chance to rub shoulders and gain autographs from the characters you know and love.
Hosting events for each of the four weekends will be Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka). From May 21-23, you’ll find Daniel Logan, Temuera Morrison, and Dee Bradley Baker at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Logan played both Boba Fett and all of the clone cadets in Episode II. Morrison starred as Jango Fett and as the clone troopers, and Baker is the voice of all the clone troopers (including Captain Rex) in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
From May 28-30 look for Tom Kane, Lorne Peterson, and Matthew Wood in the theme park. Tom Kane is the voice of Yoda in The Clone Wars, and also the narrator who begins each show. Lorne Peterson is an ILM model-maker who worked behind the scenes on each of the six Star Wars movies. Matthew Wood was a sound editor on the Star Wars prequels and The Clone Wars and provided the voice of General Grievous and his battle droids.
Billy Dee Williams, Ray Park, and Dave Filoni will appear at the Hollywood Studios Park from June 4-6. Williams was Lando Calrissian. Ray Park is the villain Darth Maul from Episode I, and Dave Filoni is the supervising director of The Clone Wars.
And to wrap up the month-long event, on June 11-13, Peter Mayhew and James Arnold Taylor will be at the theme park, along with Ray Park who will be there for his second weekend. Mayhew was the beloved Chewbacca the Wookiee and Taylor is the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars, as well as Plo Koon.
Plan Your Disney Timeshare or Orlando Timeshare Vacation
Just a reminder, Disney’s Hollywood Studios in NOT in Hollywood, so don’t schedule a California timeshare if you want to take in the Star Wars event. Instead, plan on a Disney timeshare in Florida or any of the great Orlando timeshares in order to be among the starry-eyed Star Wars fans who take part in this special celebration. Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park admission is required.
Again, thank you Mousekeeping for the head’s up!
