I was thinking that maybe there are some Star Wars fans out there in need of some healthy initiatives:boilerbabe wrote:Oh that's catchy, I like it!!! Maybe you should submit your idea to Disney???
That is one of Future Guy's photos. It is so easy to find humor in this picture, but there's also something so sad and sympathetic about this poor soul. It's Disney - it's Star Wars Weekend - and he looks utterly miserable when he should be happy...(maybe he's still crushed finding out Darth Vader was Luke's father?)...

I remember that picture mindflipper! I think he could use a lifestyle change! He is also probably bummed out about finding out about Darth Vader!

He's probably upset that he did not find the droids he was looking for.

Re: No more ESPN Weekends!!
It's truely the saddest photo from WDW I've ever seen - and sadness is not something I associate with the theme-parks. But it is fun coming up with the star wars jokes for it...
But back to topic:
Didn't they eliminate the ESPN establishment from WDW as well? Is there some reason they're removing all reference to ESPN altogether from the parks?

If you look at the way he is holding the gun...it appears that he is just taking an impromptu nap.

That's what I thought when I first saw the photo ~ quick nap while waiting for someone.theBIGyowski wrote:If you look at the way he is holding the gun...it appears that he is just taking an impromptu nap.
It looks as though it is just the ESPN weekend that is disappearing, ESPN's establishment is still at WDW.mindflipper wrote:...Didn't they eliminate the ESPN establishment from WDW as well? Is there some reason they're removing all reference to ESPN altogether from the parks?
