Greetings Renee, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are thrilled to answer your first question.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of my daughter’s favorite parks, as she is also a Star Wars fan. We will soon be visiting, and she has already told me that meeting BB-8 is one of her top priorities. She is 6-years-old and already a Disney vacation über planner!
The good news is that you can now
meet and greet this beloved droid at Star Wars Launch Bay. I think it is so much fun that your photo gets taken to make sure you hold proper Resistance documentation, and they also make great souvenirs to take home and forever remember this great moment. As for the
March of the First Order, I must admit that Captain Phasma is very intimidating with her squad of Stormtroopers as they march down Hollywood Boulevard towards Center Stage. Prepare for some up-close encounters while they search for members of the Resistance.
I was checking the
calendar for Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting on your arrival date, and both experiences are currently listed for the end of July. I suggest that you check once again as your visit dates get closer, and pick up a Times Guide upon arriving at the theme park. Please note that all scheduled activities are subject to change without notice.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I hope you have a great visit, and may the Force be with you.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
