Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/02/bb-8-to-greet-guests-at-disneys-hollywood-studios-this-spring/ Quote Guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have more Star Wars fun to look forward to this spring when BB-8, the loyal droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, begins character greetings at the park’s Star Wars Launch Bay. BB-8 will appear in addition to Kylo Ren and Chewbacca, two characters from the Star Wars galaxy who guests regularly encounter at Star Wars Launch Bay. In addition to character greetings, the location 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. 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. Keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for more information on BB-8’s grand debut in the coming weeks. Tri-Circle-D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for sharing, Jason. This will be a popular meet and greet for a while. And it will help sell dessert party tickets. Smart move by Disney. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Speaking of Star Wars and Hollywood Studios... Do you think “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular” will continue all year long? As of right now it's not shown on the May schedule. WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a new movie coming at the end of the year to hype, and lots of cupcakes to sell. Disney has been awful lately with updating its calendars. They want guests to plan dining reservations 6 months out and FP+ reservations 60 days out, but they change the danged calendars whenever they want. Disney always wins.
