Star Wars Weekends 2014 begin this upcoming weekend, and many are already prepared for them to begin. Many also want to know what will be happening and when. That is why Doctor Disney is here to relay the events for the first few days with the Star Wars Weekends 2014 opening schedule.
Remember to check and see if any of the Star Wars Weekends events are still available for FASTPass+ reservations. A number of them are already gone, but you should keep checking because you never know when you may get lucky.
Hours for Disney’s Hollywood Studios the first weekend are 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. for May 16-18, 2014.
Get there early though because there will be some huge crowds for Star Wars Weekends and also some things will be happening in the morning too.
