D23 EXPO 2019 Superthread - dates announced!

[poohj80]

Also people visiting the DLR for the first time must be absolutely loving it. If you use MaxPass you can basically go from any ride you want to another and basically have it be a walk on. Incredible!

That’s exactly what we’re experiencing right now!

Now, here is a question about characters in SWGE and those in Launch Bay. Who is available for meet/greet in launch Bay? I had thought that they wouldn't have a character in 2 close by places simultaneously.

There are no standard meet and greets in Batuu. There are just walk around characters for small interactions and atmosphere.

Right, I know, but there are at Launch Bay. My point is, if Rey or Chewie are roaming around Batuu, would they also simultaneously be at Launch Bay?

Rey doesn't meet at Launch Bay. So I guess yes Chewie would be in both at the same time.

Ok. I had heard that Disney tries to avoid that simultaneous thing. Again, first time DL. At WDW, Launch Bay has Chewie, BB-8, and Kylo Ren. Who is there at DL?

I know Chewie and Vader for sure at DL. Not sure on anyone else.

Hey, quick question for anyone who's been to Toydarian Toystore…how much are the plush dolls (especially interested in the Chewy and Leia dolls) being sold for? I'm buying a Disney gift card for my trip in October, and want to know roughly how much $ to allocate for them

Someone posted a full merch pricing list here:

9-inch dolls are $17.99 and 12-inch dolls are $19.99

And sometimes Boba Fett. Haven't seen anyone else of late.

OMG! Thank you for sharing! What is on top of the blue drink?

When we were there on 5/4, we met Chewie, Rey, and Darth Vader in launch bay. We skipped Kylo Ren that day. We have also met Boba Fett on at least 2-3 other occasions there. We especially enjoyed Rey that day. And Chewie liked my t-shirt since he was right on it.

I would add, Sunday is usually the lightest attendance day, so might not be too bad if it is not a Gold Member ticket for that day. But you might want to consider reaching out to D23 to see about why you couldn’t buy the three single day Gold tickets, to see if they might be able to help, since the 3day passes were sold out.

Thanks for the info on Sunday's attendance, as this will be my first Expo. I think I will contact D23 to see what they say.

How close are you allowed to get to the ships? Can you touch them?

That’s who was meeting at Launch Bay this morning.

Disneyland has been more flexible on the simultaneous thing. No idea how that changes now.

Launch Bay at Disneyland has had Darth Vader and Chewbacca almost all the time. Kylo Ren frequently, Boba Fett sometimes, and Rey daily until a couple of months ago.

Since Galaxy's Edge is set during the sequel trilogy, Darth Vader will not show up there. I anticipate he will continue to be in Launch Bay for a while. It sounds like Chewbacca is in both places. They're far enough apart that he can visit the Rebel Base in Launch Bay in case he needs to relay information back to the Resistance Base on Batuu without ruining any magic.

Hmmm wait time up to 120 minutes. Maybe picking 5pm-9pm wasn't a good idea. Just wanted to see it during the day and at night...

Kylo and Rey and sometimes Boba Fett. I have met them all at Launch Bay at DL.

I think it’s cause a group just entered which causes the line to spike.
