Ask Matt

Every week I’ll be answering any question about the Disney-MGM Studios from planning questions to “what happened to...” questions. So if you’ve got something you’ve been wondering about or simply need clarification, please feel free to email them to me (use the form below).

Does the studio have a bookstore or archives where one can purchase memorabilia? Thank you. - Marsha

Two places come to mind when I read your question. FIrst and foremost would be Sid Cahuenga's One-of-a-kind Antiques store on Hollywood Boulevard (to your right as you enter the park). Here they sell lots of movie memorabilia that ranges from old movie posters to clothing worn by the stars and there is lots of great stuff to buy in there. If you're more interested in Studios memorabilia, then perhaps you'll like The Writers Stop book store on Commissary Lane (Next to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant). They sell lots of "insider" books and such.

Hello Matt,

What time of the day is the Star Wars parade? - Steve

In years past, the Star Wars parade has been during 11:15am on Star Wars Weekend days. Keep in mind that there is also the regular afternoon parade at 3pm that does feature Star Wars Characters. At this time I can't tell you when the Star Wars parade will be this year but since it's been at 11:15am the past two years, I think it's a safe bet to plan on it being around 11am again this year.

Hi Matt,
was wondering if you had any idea if MGM will be doing the trivia trials for SWW 07 -- It's not listed as an activity on disney's site. - Michelle

The trivia trials, for those who do not know, is the adult trivia offered during Star Wars Weekends and is a lot of fun to simply watch. They've offered it in years past and thus far, the events listed do not show it. I have to think they'll still be holding the trivia trials this year because I can't think of any good reason why they wouldn't. It's been extremely popular in years past and without Who Wants To Be A Milionaire this year, it would leave SWW without an adult trivia aspect. The trivia contest for the kids (the Padawan Mind Challenge) is currently listed and again, I expect the adult trivia to be an event at SWW this year as well as a number of other events to be added that we currently do not see on the "officiial list".
