    Hi! I will take my nephews to Disney for their first time and they are a huge Star Wars fans. Is there any meet and Greet with Darth Vader nowadays on Hollywood Studios??

    Hi there, Priscila! Welcome back to planDisney! 

    It’s so exciting that your nephews' first Walt Disney World vacation is in just a few short days! You’re an awesome aunt and vacation planning master for putting so much thought into the trip. I’m sure it will be a magical experience for everyone! 

    I’m happy to report that you can meet Darth Vader at Star Wars Launch Bay, located in the Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios (times and availability subject to change). Not only does the Launch Bay allow you to get face-to-face with Lord Vader, but you can also meet Chewbacca and BB-8, and explore immersive exhibits with costumes and movie props. It’s a great experience for every Star Wars fan. 

    I’m sure you won’t miss Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge since your nephews are big Star Wars fans, and Batuu is full of other characters for them to meet. Be sure to keep an eye out for Stormtroopers, Kylo Ren, Rey, Chewbacca, and Vi Moradi as you explore Black Spire Outpost. You may even get a chance to meet the Mandalorian and Grogu, which I was lucky enough to do on my last visit. 

    Not all of these character experiences include PhotoPass Cast Members, but there are PhotoPass locations all over Galaxy’s Edge. If you want to get some really memorable photos for your nephews, I’d suggest booking Capture Your Moment: Disney's Hollywood Studios - Batuu, which is a private 20-minute photo session with a PhotoPass Cast Member. 

    I hope this information was helpful, Priscila. Don’t hesitate to come back if you have any other questions about your upcoming trip. Your planDisney pals are here to help! 

    May the Force be with you!
