For those of you who have been waiting to hear official confirmation on when Star Wars Weekends will be, Disney has finally at least confirmed the month.  This is from WDWNews.com Disney World’s website dedicated to people in the press looking for news and information…

Star Wars Weekends return to Walt Disney World Resort in June 2008, as Disney’s Hollywood Studios becomes Star Wars Central for sci-fi fans of all ages. (Exact event dates will be announced at a later date.)

Now, almost none of the average Disney World guest trying to plan a trip would know to look at this site.  And even if they did, finding this release is also not that simple.  If you go to the Star War Weekends page of the official Disney World website you will find that it all says is “2008 - check back for confirmed dates”.

Now I have ranted about this before, but I can’t see any reason not to do it again.  Earlier we heard that Disney’s employees were informed of the dates.  Now we know the press was at least told which month it will take place.  But once again, you the guests are the absolute last people to find this out.  Can anyone give me one good reason why this would be?  Why does Disney feel the need to put the paying customer at the absolute bottom of this totem pole?
