Hey Thrill Seekers,
The second most popular droid in the entire Galaxy (far, far away) will be making his debut this Spring at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. BB-8 the standout Droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, begins character greetings at the park’s Star Wars Launch Bay.
Visitors are already able to meet Star War’s characters like Kylo Ren and Chewbacca and the rolling droid will be a welcomed addition. Star Wars Launch Bay not only offers character greetings but also offers guests the chance to explore galleries full of treasured memorabilia and authentic replicas of large-scale Star Wars artifacts, including some from the latest film in the franchise, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Here’s what Disney say about Star Wars Launch Bay;
Star Wars Launch Bay is just one experience that has debuted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to the delight of Star Wars fans over the past two years: “Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away” daytime show features characters from around the Star Wars galaxy; while the guest-favorite “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular” nighttime spectacular lights up the park each night. Guests age 4-12 can also become Jedi recruits and put their skills to the test in an unforgettable battle against villains like Darth Vader or the Seventh Sister Inquisitor. And just a few months ago, the park’s Star Tours – The Adventures Continue attraction began offering guests randomized destinations, making different planetary destinations possible for every galactic journey.
The addition of additional Star Wars IP to the Disney parks is just another step to cementing their position as market leader in Florida. My kids would lose their minds if they got to meet BB-8… and probably me too!
Smiles included…
