The Disney Parks Blog announced some exciting information that collectors might just find interesting!

Each year, Star Wars fans flock to Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida for a series of special Star Wars themed weekends which are filled with special guests from the films & television series, exclusive merchandise, costumed characters and more. This year, Disney has expanded the event to five weekends which are May 16-18, May 23-25, May 30-June 1, June 6-8, and June 13-15. With the new Star Wars: Rebels cartoon on the way, it's no wonder Disney is using that as the basis and theme for much of the merchandise being offered.

On May 15, just one day before Star Wars Weekends begins, Disney will host a special ticketed event called 'Rebel Rendezvous' from 10:00am to 5:00pm.



Tickets will be $250 per person and include the following:

- Exclusive access to Darth’s Mall one day before it opens to the public.
- Limited edition recruitment pack (includes a custom messenger bag, cadet hat, tumbler, lanyard, pin & medal set). Items are only available to Rebel Rendezvous attendees on May 15, 2014.

◾Customized Rebel Rendezvous merchandise, including D-Tech on Demand cell phone cases and Aurebesh nametags*

…And more
