Alright, Star Wars fans, we’re warning you now that you might want to sit down. We’ve got some VERY exciting news, and if you’re anything like the few big fans on our team, this may be the best Disney news you get all week.
Mando and Grogu in Disney World
Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is one of the best places to find roaming characters in all of Disney World, but that does mean it can be hard to take a quick photo with them. Unlike regular meet-and-greets, roaming characters wander throughout their land and interact with guests, but they can’t have an actual photo line form. Previously, The Mandalorian and Grogu were characters you could only see wandering, but now that’s changed!
There’s now a specific, dedicated spot on the My Disney Experience App for you to meet The Mandalorian and Grogu! You’ll find him near the Millennium Falcon, very close to where Chewbacca himself often meets. If you’re looking for specific times, you’ll find them listed on his page in the app. This means no more hoping he’ll be wandering when you’re in the area — now you know exactly when you can meet them.

He looks to be meeting throughout the day, beginning at around 10 AM and finishing up around 6 PM. Keep in mind, though, that if the weather isn’t good, he may not meet at his normal times, and schedule changes can take place throughout the day. When in doubt, ask a nearby Cast Member!
We found him!
When we arrived, the line was decently long, but most of it was in the shade, which is nice for the warmer days that still plague Orlando, despite it being October. The line moved decently quickly, but it will still take a decent amount of time, so pack your patience if you really would like to meet them. Now that they have a designated meeting spot, this means they will very rarely be seen wandering around land, as characters usually have set-in-stone meeting spots OR are roaming — usually not both.
The line moved pretty fast!
