Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine
The Jedi Mickey’s Star Wars Dine at Hollywood and Vine DINNER (Breakfast and Lunch will continue to be Disney Jr Characters) will offer Star Wars fans the opportunity to meet Jedi Mickey, Princess Leia Minnie, Chip n Dale as Ewoks, Donald as a Stormtrooper and Goofy as “Darth Goofy.” These are the exact same costumes the characters wear in the park, but there will be no waiting in the sun and you’ll be guaranteed to meet them all! The cost of this Star Wars character meal is $55.99 for adults 10 and over and $32.99 for children 3 to 9 years of age. If you’d like to make it a Fantasmic! dining package the cost is slightly more at $59.99 for adults and $36.99 for children. The meal will also include a digital download of Ewok Chip n Dale. The meal will begin serving at 4:15 daily and close with the park.
Star Wars Dine-In Galactic BREAKFAST
My Review: http://kennythepirate.com/2014/05/04/my-star-wars-dine-in-galactic-breakfast-review/
The other great Star Wars character dining experience is known as the Star Wars Dine-In Galactic BREAKFAST (The other meals are still standard ala carte dining with no characters). The characters for this meal include Darth Vader and Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, Greedo and Jawas (ready to trade with you). There will be no sci-fi movie trailers, instead they will offer clips from Star Wars movies. The cost is $47.99 for adults 10 and up and $29.99 for children 3 to 9 years of age. Reservations for this meal are accepted from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon.
For those using the Disney Dining Plan, each meal requires TWO Disney Dining plan credits.
Booking began this morning. Sorry I was unable to post earlier, but I was at work. Disney recommends you call 407 WDW DINE, but I called 407-WDW-CREW (Pirate 🙂 and requested dining reservations and the lady knew exactly what I was looking for. The process only took me about 5 minutes. I was able to book the first breakfast at 8:00 am and a 4:55 pm dinner. These meals cannot currently be booked online or via the Disney app. A credit card is required for guarantee and the typical $10 per person cancellation charge will apply if you fail to cancel by midnight the night before your meal.
Make those reservations now, these meals are sure to fill up quickly! Hope to see you there.
I am very disappointed in Disney since I had reservations for Hollywood & Vine and I received a call informing me that my dinner had changed to the character meal and that now it would cost me two meal entitlements for each guest. Since I already made all our dining reservations long ago (and had no dining entitlements to spare) I feel like I shouldn’t be charged for the extra meal entitlement. I had to find reservations elsewhere with only two months until my trip. I thought Disney was all about customer satisfaction, but evidently not in this case 😦

I agree! This happened to us as well! They should have just charged us one credit. The food is the same…I asked! They haven’t called us yet! Disappointed in Disney 😦

Thanks for the info. We arrive on June 15. I was actually not looking forward to overlapping a day with starters because I was unsure how it would affect crowds, but now that my son gets to have a character breakfast with Star Wars characters it is all worth it. I would have been completely out of the loop without you.

Basic plated breakfast is all we know right now. I’m sure they’ll add Star Warsy names to it all. I want blue milk, even if I have to bring die or blueberry juice 🙂

Kenny, Have you heard how the characters will be set up for the breakfast? Wondering if they will roam like other character meals, it just feels weird to me if Vadar, Fett, etc are wandering from table to table. (not that I would complain, of course. The time saved from waiting in line later is worth it). I booked them both (can’t wait, it’s the first time we have made it for a Star Wars weekend).

Haven’t heard, but here’s my guess. Photo op with Darth Vader and the rest will roam the room.

So we already had a Fantasmic Package booked at Hollywood and Vine for during our May trip. The reservation automatically switched over to this new dinner, but that doesn’t really make me happy since it is now 2 credits and we aren’t big Star Wars fans! Any info on what the dinner will be? Better be good food for 2 credits since the character experience doesn’t matter to us much…except may be interesting to see! I called Disney and they said they would be calling all the people this affected to see is they want to keep the new experience or offer an alternative meal for 1 credit. Any thoughts on what they may do? I am inclined to keep it and end up paying extra for another dinner because we want the Fantasmic seats and don’t think we can FP it this late in the game, but was wondering if you have heard of his happening in the past?
LikeLike
I doubt Dinner would be significantly different than usual, just some Star Wars names probably. They would probably have to switch to 50’s Prime Time. You could easily arrive just a few minutes before the second Fantasmic and walk right in though.

Was on hold forever like 25 minutes but got a table for the dinner, went ahead and paid the little extra for the fantasmic package! Hopefully it’ll make things flow easier. We’re actually missing Star Wars weekends, always wanted to see the characters though. These are the ones I wanted to meet too! So excited for chip and dale! Super excited for this.

I only booked dinner and the CM ran through the policies (as they always do) and one of them was 2 Table Service Credits. I Repeated it back to her and she said, “Yes, since this is considered a special meal it will be 2 Table Service”. I did not think to ask about breakfast for you.
