Big crowds during Star Wars Weekends?

We made plans on going the last week in May/ first week in June and bought airfare already (got a great deal $16 roundtrip for each of us plus tax!). Then I saw that the Star Wars weekends was going on during the weekend we'll be there. So I was curious, how much of a crowd we should expect? Will all the parks be crowded or just MGM? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

We have done Star Wars Weekends on both our trips. While the lines to meet the Stars character and celebrities are long the lines for rides at MGM on those weekends are typically not. Most of the Star Wars festivies take place near Star Tours and Tatouine Traders, and on the left side of the park. The right side of the park where Tower of Terror is was completely unaffected. We did a few of the Star Wars activites, meeting Darth Vader is cool and so is Jedi Mickey but most of our time we ride the rides and see the normal shows and never felt that the park was crowded or had long wait times. Dont be afraid to visit MGM on those days for fear of long lines, most arent. And Star Wars Weekends doesn't really have an affect on any of the other parks either, they aren't any busier. If anyone in your family is a Star Wars fan then head over and check out some of the exhibits and shows. There are lots of the characters from the movies out and about and lots of meet and greets too. But lots of them just wander the park and will stop for autographs and pictures and let me say that my two girls loved meeting some of the strange creatures there.

Thanks for the responses! My husband actually doesn't like anything Star Wars, I on the other hand do like the movies and stuff. Not sure we'll be attending though, but were curious whether there would be a lot more people at the parks because of this event.

Thanks again!
