Hi Emma,
Firstly, it is lovely to hear from another Emma from Lancashire and secondly, thanks for your kind words. We are all very happy to be able to help guests plan their upcoming trips to our happy place!
The Star Wars Parade will indeed be taking place on 3 June 2011 at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The
Star Wars Weekends are extremely popular so I would expect the park to be busy but would think that Friday if any of the days will be more manageable crowd-wise.
The
Jedi Training Academy takes place daily and due to its popularity and especially during Star Wars weekend, I would strongly recommend that you make your way straight there as soon as the park opens to have a chance of registering your child(ren) to be Padawan participants during one of the shows.
HERE is a link to a post from the Disney Parks Blog which details more information on this special event.
Wishing you a magical holiday and may the force be with you!
