Yesterday might be known as Star Wars Day and May the Fourth but today is Revenge of the Fifth!. This is from my first solo trip to Disney and also my first Star Wars Weekend. I tried a little something different with this image to help Darth Goofy stand out more from the crowd. I added a slight radial blur. Not sure if it totally works but half the fun of photography is trying out different creative looks.

On this unofficial Star Wars Day (May the 4th Be With You) I thought it appropriate to share Jedi Mickey from one of the Star Wars Weekends in 2015. Unless you want to stand in line for a photo opportunity (which feels slightly uncomfortable for me when I go alone) your best bet to catch the characters is during the parade.

Star Wars Weekends

Walt Disney World started hosting Star Wars Weekends at the Hollywood Studios park in 1997. Over the years this annual event has grown in size to now run for four consecutive weekends every spring. I made my first trip to this event last year.

Generally the very first SW weekend coincides with the last weekend of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival so I was able to attend both events. I was hoping to pull off a repeat trip this year but work related issues prevented me from going. Seeing how today is the first day for this year’s events I thought I would post a few re-worked images from my trip last year.
