Hello Helen and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with another great question about visiting Walt Disney World Resort.
I sense the Force is strong with your young Jedi Palawan and as Master Yoda might say -
"Your destiny it is to visit Star Wars Launch Bay" at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
As a big Star Wars fan myself I can appreciate how your dear 12 year old feels because I especially loved having the opportunity of meeting both
Chewbacca and
Kylo Ren during a recent visit to everything
Star Wars at Walt Disney World Resort and I just can't wait
meet BB8 at Disney's Hollywood Studios this Spring!
I have to tell you that last time I visited
Star Wars Launch Bay I was lucky enough to run into a couple of friendly
Jawa who were happy to not only pose for some pictures, but also to trade with me! This really was quite an unexpected and magical moment. If you are lucky enough to happen across a
Jawa who is willing to trade; my top tip for successful trading is to have something
inexpensive, small and shiny in your pocket ready to offer them... I had a little keychain which I brought from home that was traded for some cute Disney stickers. It is always worth bearing in mind that Character experiences and appearances are always subject to change.
May the Force be with you.
