Disney has a special treat for Star Wars fans young and old that visit Walt Disney World. Beginning Saturday, in addition to Kylo Ren and Chewbacca, visitors to the Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be able to meet BB-8!

If you are not familiar with Star Wars Launch Bay, it is a must-see for Star Wars fans visiting Disney World. In addition to the character meet and greets, you will also be able to watch a film about the Star Wars movies, play interactive games, explore cavernous hallways filled with countless exhibits and real movie props and shop at a Star Wars gift store that includes pretty much every Star Wars-branded item imaginable.

Additionally, Captain Phasma and a number of Stormtroopers have been known to patrol outside Launch Bay quite regularly.

I will be heading to Hollywood Studios in about a week, so I’ll be updating this post with BB-8 meet and greet photos soon in the meantime, here is a quick video of the soft launch of the BB-8 experience from our friends over at WDW News Today:

    I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
