SUMMARY:Summer Vacation Lightsaber Meetup at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Grab your Hawaiian shirts and LEGO lightsabers for our first Batuu East Summer Vacation lightsaber meetup on Saturday\, June 27th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. \nWe will tentatively meet at 8:45 PM ET at the TIE Echelon and take photos in front of the TIE Echelon and the Millennium Falcon. Please arrive promptly\, as photos may start any time after the meetup time. \nWe strongly encourage Hawaiian shirts\, summer outfits\, Batuu bounds\, and any other Star Wars-related attire that meets the Disney Parks restrictions on costuming. All lightsabers are welcome as long as they are not actual weapons. Per Disney Parks requirements\, blasters are not allowed. \nWe will have a limited number of leis to share as well. \nPlease line up in advance to streamline the process for both our volunteers and Disney Cast Members. The line begins near the Refreshers in the Service Yard between the Courtyard Antenna and the Milk Stand. \nPlus\, we have LEGO Star Wars Trivia on Monday\, June 22nd and the Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation Streaming Party on Wednesday\, June 24th. \n \nOur event photos typically take place after official park close\, but guests and Cast Members may still be moving around the park. Please keep all pathways clear so other guests and Cast Members can safely move through the park. \nPlease follow instructions from all SWGEDiscord volunteers as well as all Disney Parks cast members. Our volunteers will help line you up at each location\, give instructions on different photo poses\, and provide crowd control for both sabers and spectators. \nLook for volunteers wearing SWGEDiscord shirts\, buttons\, glow bracelets\, and other official identification. \nSummer Vacation Lightsaber Meetup Details\nThis lightsaber meetup is completely free but does require admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. \nIf you want to volunteer to help with the event\, please post in the #Reservations-And-Meetups channel on our Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server or message us through Facebook or Instagram. \nAs a reminder\, every member of our team is a volunteer. We do not hire or pay our crowd handlers\, photographers\, videographers\, streamers\, content creators\, or celebrities who attend our event. \nAnyone is welcome to take personal photos or videos during the event. \nContent creators are also welcome\, but please check in with our volunteers at least 15 minutes early so we can help facilitate a spot for you during the event. However\, we do request that you do not attempt to sell your content to event guests. \nMeetup Reminders\n\nLightsaber dueling is strictly prohibited\, and we will ask guests to leave.\nMeet in the courtyard by the TIE Echelon promptly at 8:45 PM.\nPlease do not gather early\, as it makes non-saber meetup guests think there is a show. If you are hanging out\, please consider the marketplace\, the garage\, or the pathway leading off-world.\nDepending on how many beings come\, we may ask you to line up so we can break into smaller groups.\nSWGEDiscord volunteers will be wearing glow bracelets\, SWGEDiscord buttons\, or other identifying items if you have questions.\nAs always\, please be kind and respectful of Disney cast members\, SWGEDiscord volunteers\, and other meetup guests.\nIf you see something or feel uncomfortable\, please talk to a SWGEDiscord volunteer. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and we will ask guests to leave.\n\nWhat to Know If This Is Your First SWGEDiscord Meetup\nOur meetups are fun and inclusive events where you can meet and chat with other Star Wars fans\, show off your latest sabers\, and\, most importantly\, join in group photos in front of the TIE Echelon and Millennium Falcon. \nIf this is your first meetup\, here is what you can expect: \n\nPhotos take place right after the park closes and usually take about 30 minutes.\nWe will have SWGEDiscord photographers at the TIE Echelon and the Millennium Falcon.\nDepending on the number of guests\, we may break you up into smaller groups.\nThere are opportunities for individual photos once we finish with all group photos.\nWe kindly ask that you wait until SWGEDiscord photographers are done before taking photos. SWGEDiscord volunteers will let you know when you can take your photos.\nPhotos from SWGEDiscord photographers are usually available within one to two weeks. The added time is needed to process their photos so they look amazing.\nEvent photos will get posted on the SWGEDiscord server\, the SWGEDiscord website\, the SWGEDiscord Facebook Event and Group pages\, and the SWGEDiscord Twitter and Instagram accounts as soon as possible.\n\nIf you have any questions\, ask in the #Reservations-And-Meetups channel on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server or message us through Facebook or Instagram. \nWhat Is LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation?\nLEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation is an animated comedy special that premiered on Disney+ on August 5\, 2022. It’s the third entry in the series of LEGO Star Wars holiday-themed specials\, following the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special (2020) and LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales (2021). \nThe story centers on Finn\, who’s trying to enjoy a relaxing trip aboard the Halcyon starcruiser\, the same vessel featured in Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience. Of course\, relaxation doesn’t go as planned. Finn keeps getting pulled into Force visions and stories from across the saga\, hearing tales involving characters like Luke Skywalker\, Leia\, Obi-Wan Kenobi\, and a vacationing Darth Vader\, all rendered in LEGO’s signature gag-heavy style. \nLike the other specials in this lineup\, it’s non-canon and played for laughs\, mixing characters and eras freely for comedic effect rather than fitting into the official timeline. The voice cast included several actors reprising or approximating their film and series roles\, and it runs about 45 minutes. \nWhat Is a Lightsaber Meetup?\nA lightsaber meetup is a fan gathering to celebrate lightsabers. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord group is best known for hosting lightsaber meetups in the Disney Parks and at some Star Wars-related conventions. However\, we are not the only group that hosts meetups. \nEach meetup is a fun and safe environment to show off lightsabers and talk about Star Wars with other fans. While they are the focus of the event\, you do not need a lightsaber to participate. We also encourage cosplays\, Batuu bounds\, or other Star Wars-themed clothing. \nWe coordinate our events with the Disney Parks events team or convention organizers in advance. Our lightsaber meetups are always free\, but you may need to pay to attend events at the Disney Parks or certain conventions. Ticketing requirements are outlined in each event listing. \nOur team is comprised entirely of volunteers. No one is paid or compensated to work or appear at our events. This includes our event coordinators\, crowd handlers\, photographers\, videographers\, streamers\, content creators\, and celebrities. Also\, we are not compensated for hosting our events. \nFor complete details\, see our ultimate guide to lightsaber meetups. \nWhat Is the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord?\nThe Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord is a fan-run group celebrating all things Star Wars and Disney parks. Perhaps best known for hosting lightsaber meetups at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Disney World\, the SWGEDiscord is a family-friendly and inclusive space where fans can discuss all aspects of Star Wars and Galaxy’s Edge safely. \nIn addition to our saber meetups\, we host in-person and virtual events\, including a book club\, watch and listening parties\, trivia nights\, and more. Our Discord server has channels dedicated to planning your visit to Galaxy’s Edge on either coast\, the latest stock updates\, and talking about your favorite Star Wars shows\, movies\, books\, and comics.
