Star Wars Weekends returns to the Walt Disney World Resort during May and June 2012, as Disney’s Hollywood Studios celebrates the Star Wars film saga and the hit animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The annual special event, included in regular theme park admission, will be held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May 18-June 10, 2012.

The power of the Force and magic of Disney combine as plenty of out-of-this-world characters – including Wookiees, droids, Ewoks, bounty hunters and Jedi – roam the streets of Disney’s Hollywood Studios for meet-and-greet opportunities with guests.

The centerpiece of the celebration is the spectacular 3-D attraction, “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue.” The attraction, which opened last spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, uses eye-popping 3-D, a dramatic musical score and motion simulator-based technology to immerse guests in the Star Wars galaxy like never before.

“Jedi Training Academy,” one of the interactive entertainment experiences at the theme park, allows young guests to learn from a Jedi Master before testing their newly acquired skills in a battle with Darth Vader.

Also featured at Star Wars Weekends: the chance for fans to purchase one-of-a-kind Star Wars memorabilia, Star Wars games, plus there’s special Star Wars parades and motorcades, star conversations and autograph sessions with Star Wars actors and creative talent (celebrity lineup will be announced at a later date). The ever-popular “Hyperspace Hoopla” ends each Star Wars Weekends day with a show filled with comedy, dancing, high-energy music and many of the famed Star Wars characters.

Showtimes (subject to change) are 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:45 p.m., 4:45 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. daily. “The Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special” is included in park admission.

A dazzling blue, 122-foot-tall,  Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat takes center stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios representing the magic of show business and the entertainment wizardry of Disney that is captured throughout shows and attractions at the park.

The icon stands at the end of Hollywood Boulevard directly in front of the Chinese Theater.

The Sorcerer's Hat at Disney's Hollywood Studios follows Disney's icon tradition of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth at Epcot and The Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom.


Disney's Hollywood Studios Icon Facts
  • Head Measurements: The hat size is 606 7/8.
  • On Top of the Mouse: Mickey would have to be 350 feet tall if he were to wear this giant hat.
  • The Hat: The hat itself is 100 feet tall. The interior space equals nearly 60,000 cubic feet. It can hold 444,744 gallons of water. Six stars and two moons adorn the hat.
  • Paint Job: The hat is painted with a custom technique called "chameleon paint" which shifts color as guests move around it. Painting the hat required enough paint to cover 500 Cadillacs.
  • Mickey Ears: The Mickey ears feature a new special effect called "Light Ribbons," which change color and sparkle with internal pixie dust lighting.
  • Holding it All Together: There are 13,493 bolts that hold the hat together, 26,986 washers and 17,000 feet (or 57 football fields) of underground utility piping.
