    Exclamation BB-8 to Begin Character Meet & Greet at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Disney Parks & Resorts has announced a third Character Meet & Greet for the Star Wars Launch Bay at Disney's Hollywood Studios:

    ... He’ll make his debut appearance during the Star Wars: Galactic Nights special event[April 14, 2017], and will continue to greet guests from then on.

    The BB-8 Meet & Greet made a surprise debut on April 9th ahead of the announced start date.

    As announced, the Meet & Greet is a new addition to the Star Wars Launch Bay in addition to the Light Side and Dark Side Meet & Greet locations.

    BB-8 is presented on a small pedestal. A Cast Member is near by to translate for BB-8 on the off chance you don't speak droid.

    Below is the publicity photo of the similar Meet & Greet at Hong Kong Disneyland featuring a similar set-up (spatially, but not aesthetically) as the Disney's Hollywood Studios location:

    Has anyone met him, yet? How interactive is he? Or are we just posing with a statue that blinks? He is my daughter's favorite, and since we were just there at Christmas, we have no plans to return this year, but she can't stop talking about meeting him!

    There does not appear to be a FASTPASS+ option at this time.

    He is confined to a small pedestal top, but otherwise appears to be fully articulated as you see in the movie. He interacts and "talks" with Guests, but the near by Cast Member will likely need to translate for you.
