Star Wars Weekends activities are included with regular Disney's Hollywood Studios admission.

If you plan on attending any of the Star Wars Weekends, be sure to arrive at the park early. Although the official park opening time is 9 a.m., you will be allowed into the park around 8:30. You will not be able to get over to the Star Tours area until the official rope drop at 9, though.

Information Desk for the event is located at the entrance to the event area, across from the former Drew Carey: Sounds Dangerous. This will be the place to have all your event questions answered and to sign up for different Trivia contests.

Many children, and even some adults, dress in Star Wars costumes for the event — this might be something to consider to add to the fun.
