ground pounder Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Usually don't see ads for troops here, but I thought I would throw this out in case no one saw or heard of this. It is a special event for the re-opening of the Star Tours ride at Disney World. Be nice to get a strong contingent of MEPD there, plus meet some more MEPD members! ******************************************************************************************* Disney has requested the 501st and Rebel Legion for a special event on May 20th, the first day of Star Wars Weekends. While the regular rules apply for Star Wars Weekends, there are modified rules for this one day to accommodate the special event. The event is the grand opening of the new Star Tours Attraction. Disney would like as many members as we can muster. Any 501st approved costume or Rebel Legion approved costume, including EU is invited. The minimum yearly troop requirement is suspended for this one day only. I would like to get an idea of the number of potential attendees for the May 20th event. Please spread the word to any and all approved members of the 501st and Rebel Legion, worldwide. Right now, it looks like the report time will be 7:30 AM finishing around noon. Please send an email to sww2011@starwarsweekends.com and include the following info: Full Name Membership number (or Rebel Legion) email address Costume __ I will attend the May 20th event Please, 1 email per member. Do not send multiples in the same email. This is NOT the registration for the rest of Star Wars Weekends. This is just the special event. Your email address will be used to communicate important event information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ground pounder Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 wow....this would be awesome. Let me see what I can work out....crazy question though...what about Jawas? the not official 501st but troop all the time kind! Sounds like they only want 501st or RL members, with the ID#. But I guess you could ask the FL folks and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
