Disney World Calendar Effects of Star Wars Weekends



By Dave Shute

Star Wars weekends begin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios May 18 (see this for more) and continue every weekend through June 10.

As a consequence, there’s some changes to the typical Walt Disney World schedule:

  • The two Star Wars weekends in May (the 18th-20th and 25th-27th) both have 8a openings instead of the typical 9a opening times.  There’s a good chance this will be true for the two June weekends as well after Disney updates its June calendar
  • The normal Saturday morning Extra Magic Hour (EMH) at the Studios has been swapped with the Animal Kingdom’s normal Wednesday morning EMH over this period
  • So morning EMH at the Studios will be on Wednesdays May 16 through June 6, and the Animal Kingdom’s second weekly morning EMH will be on Saturdays May 19 through June 9
