#DisneyKids: How Little Ones Can Make the Most of Star Wars Weekends

May 30, 2015

From Jamie Langdon, Social Media Manager and posted on the Disney Parks Blog.

Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is an annual event that features activities for all ages, so even the youngest family members can join in on the fun. All three of my little girls are huge fans of the characters from both the original films and the new Star Wars Rebels series on Disney XD, so it is a huge treat for them to meet their favorites in person. Parents of Padawans won’t want to miss these incredibly themed hands-on experiences, taking place weekends May 15 – June 14, 2015.
