Star Wars played a big part of my childhood growing up. This was partly because of having an older brother who loved the films. Also because of my own love of the Ewoks. There were a few Ewok spin-off movies in the ’80s. I’m sure we hired these from the video shop quite a few times. With our return to Walt Disney World planned I was quite excited about the Star Wars experiences you can find in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Meeting Chewbacca was at the top of my list. Who wouldn’t want to meet a Wookiee?!
We visited Hollywood Studios on a Saturday. We couldn’t use Ethan’s DAS (Disability Access Service) for this meet and greet. SO we decided we would make our way there right after our Disney Junior Breakfast. Thankfully the queue wasn’t too long and Ethan was happy to wait in the short queue.
Meeting Chewbacca
I wondered what Little E would make of meeting Chewbacca being that he is so tall. I was worried that she might be a little scared. We didn’t have to worry as she promptly walked up to him and gave him her hat.
After letting him inspect her hat Little E went in for her cuddle with Chewbacca.
We had a group photo and as you can see I might have been a little excited about meeting Chewie. I think at one point I even stoked his arm.
This wasn’t a rushed character interaction but there is only so much you can say to a Wookiee who doesn’t speak English! We love that we got the chance to meet Chewbacca. It was sad that we didn’t get the chance to experience all of the Star Wars meets and greets in Hollywood Studios. We just run out of time during our visit. You can watch our experience of meeting Chewbacca in the below video
omg we would all love this, he is a real fave of ours I dont think you could meet him when we were there x
