WDW Star Wars Weekends
Disney-MGM Studios
May-June 2005
From Starwars.com

Visitors to Disney-MGM Studios in Florida between May 20 and June 12 this year will be treated to a great lineup of special Star Wars Weekends merchandise created exclusively for this eagerly anticipated annual event. In addition to the planned activities, events, and celebrities (as outlined in this story here), guests will have the opportunity to shop for exclusive pins, posters, t-shirts, coins, and other collectibles in the whimsical Disney/Star Wars crossover tradition.

To many, that tradition is defined by the exclusive pin sets available at each Star Wars Weekends event, and Pin USA delivers a fantastic array for 2005. Some available only in limited edition sets, collectors can look forward to at least 20 all new designs this year. Here's the rundown:

Set of five jumbo pin on pins (a feature which gives a pin added dimension) will exhibit the artwork used on each Star Wars Weekends poster between 2000-2005. The 2005 edition pin, which uses the stunning Vader in flames graphic, includes Mickey's hand "brushing" the ears on with a paint brush.
Limited edition framed set of nine pin on pins featuring eight scenes from Episode III plus the Darth Vader/Mickey Star Wars Weekends pin.
Limited edition set of four Darth Vader pins that come in a special Darth Vader Sith Lord box.
Three pin paper box Anakin transformation set which depicts the evolution of Darth Vader
Limited edition Episode III opening day pin

The Star Wars Weekends collectible coins, which have become a traditional event exclusive since 2001, will all be recast for a limited edition set of 250. Collectors of these popular coins from the past need not worry -- the 2005 Star Wars Weekends logo will appear on the obverse of each coin, distinguishing them from the past years' originals. Collectors will also note the addition of a year 2000 coin, which will finally be made available for the first time exclusively in this set.

Additionally, the 2005 coin featuring the Darth Vader/Mickey graphic will be available in four finishes: gold plate, silver plate, bronze oxide, and brushed nickel. These will be limited to 1000 each.

Bean bag collectors will be pleased to find Mickey clad in the famous Sith Lord's armor for this year's event, nicely complementing the "Jedi Mickey" bean bag from the 2004 Star Wars Weekends.

In addition to these limited editions and other collectibles, fans will be able to find a whole bunch of other great items featuring the Star Wars Weekends 2005 artwork. Keychains, mugs, T-shirts, caps, posters, magnets, and a special watch will all be available to guests at Disney MGM's Star Wars Weekends event, with some items also slated to appear at California's Disneyland theme park as well.

While Daniel was strolling through the park...

Well, actually, DisneyGuys, was strolling through Disney's Pin Traders, and saw these pins displayed:

An LE 1500 March release for the Grand Reopening of the Living Seas featuring Nemo
The next Walt's Legacy Pin will be the "Creation of Mickey" which features Mickey Mouse looking at a picture of Walt Disney in a frame
Many open edition pins including....
- The Disney Cats sitting on a couch, with the Cheshire Cat in front.
- The Disney Dogs in front of Pluto's Dog House
- The Muppets, which is a group shot with many of the Muppets on the pin
- Blizzard Beach / Typhoon Lagoon featuring Stitch on a beach blanket in Hawaiian shorts and sunglasses
- Typhoon Lagoon
- Blizzard Beach with Stitch on the water slide, which is also a slider pin
- A series of pins for the Happiest Celebration on Earth all with a Golden Mickey Ears background and different pins featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Tinker Bell, Stitch and Sleeping Beauty's Castle. The pins will be released on 05/05/05. They really look like build-a-pins (but they are not) because of how each background or base pin is identical and the character is a pin on pin.

Thanks Daniel!!
