Encounter Rey Beginning this May in Star Wars Launch Bay at Disneyland Resort

[dina444444]

As the development of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edgecontinues at Disneyland park, Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland is your go-to destination for all things from the galaxy far, far away. And beginning this May, a new face will join this interactive experience with the arrival of the Resistance’s newest hero, Rey.

A scavenger from the planet Jakku, Rey is a survivor toughened by life on a harsh desert planet. Despite dismissing herself as “no one,” she learns that her life is being shaped by the mysterious power of the Force. Central to the stories of Star Wars: The Force Awakensand Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rey has become an inspiration to a new generation of Star Wars fans.

Joining Chewbacca, Rey will visit with guests at the Light Side character experience throughout the summer, with Darth Vader and Kylo Ren encountering guests at the Dark Side area. Be sure to check the Entertainment times guide upon your arrival to the park, as encounter times are subject to change.

Encounter Rey this May, and be sure to reserve your copy of Star Wars: The Last Jedi – including more than 2 hours of bonus footage, deleted scenes & more – today!

Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, Storm Troopers and animated characters is one thing - but Star Wars face characters, I can't see how that would work? I just saw the announcement from Disney and the first picture is a girl who doesn't even come close to looking like Daisy Ridley. I am guessing this will be more of a hit with little kids.

Agree, it's totally weird! But who knows, maybe it will work. I'll take my little guy to go meet her.

My tween-aged daughter will be delighted. She loves Rey. It’s not like the Marvel “Peter Quill” or Pirates “Jack Sparrow” friends are spot-on...

They've done testing of this already -- you can find some videos on Youtube. I can't remember if they did it at DL or only at WDW.

I think it will be pretty cool! Rey did meet rarely at DHS in Florida (I think mainly when the stage show was on hiatus). Though I am worried about wait times!

Captain America, Thor & Mary Poppins are all fun. I am glad to see a female Star Wars character option because my daughters will be thrilled.

My daughter is going to be so excited. She has a Rey costume and everything!

Oh I admit they do it with all kinds of face characters from movies, sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a giant miss, and like I said I think it's great for kids, they won't care one bit! I guess I am just not able to suspend disbelief enough.

How fun! My kids are young enough that hopefully they do not notice if she doesn't look exactly right. Very excited for Kylo Ren...he is my completely Star Wars obsessed 5 year old's favorite and we haven't met him yet. Yay!
