‘Carbon-Freeze Me’ Returns to Star Wars Weekends

StormtrooperGuests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios® during Star Wars Weekend can once again take part in the Star Wars – D-Tech Me experience.

Using the world’s highest-resolution 3D face scanner, the experience captures an image of the guest that will be later turned into a figurine using a 3D printer (which guests receive 7-8 weeks later at their home). Last years option to “cast yourself in Carbonite” will be offered again this year along with a new option to turn yourself into a Stormtrooper.

The experience takes place inside Darth’s Mall (near Rock ‘n Roller Coaster® Starring Aerosmith). Cost is $99.95 plus shipping and tax and includes either a Carbon-Freeze Me light-up band or a collector button. As this is a limited experience that can only accommodate a certain number of guests, advance reservations are highly suggested so contact your Magic Maker® today. The experience will only be available during Star Wars Weekends which runs just Friday – Sunday from May 17 to June 9, 2013.

A valid accepted credit card number is required at time of booking.

The experience, due to its personalized nature, is non-refundable and not eligible for an exchange. Children must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age or older during the entire experience. Certain restrictions may apply.

Star Wars Weekend

Star Wars Weekend- Disney's Hollywood Studios

By Heather Straight, Magic Maker®

I suppose it was inevitable that my children would be Star Wars™ fanatics.  Their mother has always been a fan, and their father is, well, let’s just say the man watches a lot of sci-fi.  So it’s no surprise we have two young boys who spend much of their free time pretending to be Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who have Star Wars™ bedsheets, lunch boxes and movie posters on their walls.  They spend quality time with dad building the Millennium Falcon and X-Wing fighters from Legos, and I’ve lost track of the number of light sabers we have in the house.  It must be at least 8, not including the closet full of foam models fashioned from pool noodles and duct tape that were a party favor from the last force-inspired birthday party.

It was for these reasons that I decided to surprise them all last June with a trip to Star Wars™ Weekends at the Walt Disney World® Resort.  We’d always wanted to visit during these special weekends, because it was as if they had invented the whole thing just for our family.  What could be better than the Disney Parks AND Jedis, Wookiees and Darth Vader?  Mickey Mouse dressed up as Luke Skywalker?  Boba Fett wandering the streets of Disney’s Hollywood Studios™?  Priceless! With a little bit of planning, it’s a great trip for Star Wars™ fans, young and old.

Star Wars™ Weekends happen every weekend from mid-May to mid-June (this year they’re scheduled for every Friday-Sunday, May 20 through June 12).  So is all the hype about Star Wars™ Weekend worth it?  You bet it is!  From the moment we arrived and saw Storm Troopers up on the gates of Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ taunting guests, we knew we were in for a good time.  Some of the highlights you won’t want to miss:

  1. Jedi Training Academy – our six-year-old nearly died and went to heaven when he made it into one of the shows and fought Darth Vader.  They take 30 kids per show, so my advice is to arrive in time for Rope Drop and head to the sign up location (which will be listed in the Star Wars™ Weekends special event map).  You get in line for a special FastPass that will list the show time your kids are in, and you report back about 20 minutes before it begins.  Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to participate, and the show is fun for kids of all ages to watch.
  2. The opening show – get to the gates of Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ early, about 30-45 minutes before the official park opening.  Storm Troopers appear on top of the gates, and fun ensues.
  3. The parade – we staked out a spot about 40 minutes early so we had front row seats for every imaginable Star Wars™ character AND three celebrities in this fantastic parade.  I mean, who doesn’t love seeing R2-D2 rolling along, followed by legions of Storm Troopers, Darth Vader, along with stars from the movies and the animated series.
  4. Hyperspace Hoopla – Darth Vader dancing to “Beat It,” complete with sequined glove.  Need I say more?  This hilarious “dance party with the Star Wars™ stars” that closes the day is a laugh riot.  Every year they change things up a bit with new dance routines.  This is a tremendously popular show, so I’d suggest getting to the last Jedi Training Academy show of the day a little early to get a good spot, watch that show and then wait for Hoopla to begin shortly after.
  5. The atmosphere – roaming the park with strains of Star Wars™ music piped through the speakers, stumbling upon bounty hunters, Tuscan Raiders and bargaining with Jawas was so much fun.  Around every turn was something else to see and another character to interact with.

Other highlights of this special event include autograph opportunities with Star Wars™ stars, talks/Q&A sessions given by the celebrities, special merchandise, photo opportunities with popular characters, and much more.  If you have a Star Wars™ fan in the family, this is definitely the event for you!  Don’t forget to your camera, because great photos are waiting around every turn.

A FASTPASS® is required to receive an autograph! These FASTPASS® tickets are extremely limited and are distributed strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

To receive a FASTPASS® ticket for one of the autograph sessions:

  • Arrive at the main entrance to Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and look for the designated location to the right of the entrance. Because there is such a high demand for these opportunities and distribution usually begins prior to park opening, it’s best to arrive several hours before opening.
  • Join the line of the celebrity you would most like to meet. Saving a place in line for other party members will not be allowed.
  • Guests waiting in line will receive a wristband. That wristband along with your valid theme park ticket or pass will entitle you to receive one (1) autograph FASTPASS® ticket. Only one autograph FASTPASS® ticket will be distributed per Guest and each Guest must be present to receive a FASTPASS® ticket. You may not get FASTPASS® tickets for other members of your party.
  • After receiving your FASTPASS® ticket, continue to wear your wristband. You will need to be wearing your wristband to get an autograph.
  • A limited number of “stand-by” tickets may be distributed with a return time. “Stand-by” tickets do not guarantee you an autograph.
  • At your designated return time, proceed to the indoor Celebrity Autograph Location just off Commissary Lane near Star Tours® – The Adventure Continues where you will need to show your wristband and present your FASTPASS® ticket.
