There are a lot of HIDDEN experiences in Disney World that you probably don’t know about!
Star Wars Launch Bay
From secret menu items to pop-up character meets to ride hacks and scavenger hunts — there are quite a few ways to enjoy Disney World that aren’t obvious to the general public. And if you’re a Disney Visa cardholder, there are some BONUS experiences just for you!
If you’re a Disney Visa cardholder, you may know about the special photo op in EPCOT…but did you know that there’s one in Hollywood Studios too? Inside Star Wars Launch Bay, there’s an EXCLUSIVE meet and greet with Darth Vader.
It’s a hidden hallway!
When you enter Star Wars Launch Bay you’ll find several regular meet and greets for Star Wars fans, including BB-8, Chewbacca, and Darth Vader. But next to the BB-8 meet and greet, there’s a small hallway with access to a Disney Visa cardholders-only Vader meet. And it often has a much shorter line than the regular Vader meet!

This meet and greet is also home to a PhotoPass photographer instead of the PhotoPass camera boxes you see at some locations. That means you’ll likely get much better photos!

In fact, the PhotoPass photographer at the meet and greet sometimes swaps out and does a pop-up lightsaber photo op in one of the exhibit rooms inside Star Wars Launch Bay. You can get a really cool lightsaber picture here when it’s available!
Sometimes the photographer is out doing lightsaber photo shoots!
This meet and greet has been back open for a little while now, but it’s a little-known secret of Hollywood Studios, so we thought we’d share for those of you who qualify. If you’re interested in learning more tips and secrets before your Disney World trip, stay tuned to DFB!
