How much time should I budget for SW Launch Bay?

[tentaguasu]

I'm sure this is a very subjective question, but any idea on how much time I should budget for this?

I have a gradeschool boy who is really into Star Wars....

Budget at least an hour for the two meet and greets. It could be at least a 20-30 minute wait to meet Chewbacca and at least that long for Kylo Ren. If you have a Disney Chase Visa card, you can go to the Chase meet for Kylo and that would be a 10-minute wait between 11:00-4:00.

There's a short film and then all the displays to view. If a Jawa is in the Cantina area, your son may want to trade a trinket with the Jawa. The Stormtroopers roam around in the courtyard and will stop guests and sometimes pose for photos.

So, budget at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours for Launch Bay if you don't want to rush him through it.

Thanks for posting this...I was wondering this as well.

Can someone explain the Jawa trading to me please?

Bring a paperclip or some other small trinket to the Jawa, and they will trade it for other items. I did in December and the Jawa's were handing out droid bodies for trade.

We may have been nontraditional, but we had fp's for tsm & tot, and single rider'd rnr, so we went to Launch Bay first thing in the morning and were out of there in under 45 minutes. We were first in line for Kylo, met him, went through chewie's room, our other friend showed up, we went BACK through Kylo's room & wandered through looking at the displays & gift shop.

I did want to jawa trade but I figured they were out later in the day and we were park hopping

We did JTA signups, then popped into the Launch Bay and cranked out the 2 M&G's in 30 minutes. Came back later and spent a good 30-40 minutes seeing the displays and shopping the store. Could take longer if you'r kids hit the video game room. We stayed out of there, and didn't watch the film.

Trading with the Jawa's is really cool. My girls did it in the morning and afternoon. We got them bracelets from Dollar Tree to trade. They will pose for pics.

If you are nerd, like us, give yourself plenty of time. You won't want to rush.
