These are actual humans and are not dressed in character. They are performers from different renditions of the Star Wars saga. In order to meet a celebrity and receive their autograph, you MUST arrive early! The most popular celebrities have lines that begin at 5:00 am. or earlier. You will find the lines for the celebrities on the FAR RIGHT of the turnstiles and they are clearly marked for each celebrity.
FASTPASS tickets must be obtained prior to park opening to receive an autograph.
You may only receive one FASTPASS to return to meet the celebrity per person. Sometimes the less demanded celebrities like James Arnold Taylor or Ashley Eckstein may still have FASTPASSES available after you receive one for another celebrity. This FASTPASS does not count against your ride FASTPASSES. Have your group divide up and get as many autograph FASTPASSES as possible. They are on a first-come, first-served basis and there’s no guarantee that you’ll receive one.

Hi Kenny, first of all a huge thanks for all the information on the site, it helped me a lot for pre-planning our trip to WDW. I’m going with my dad ten days and we are there in the Star Wars weekends but I was hoping if you could help me with my questions. I live in the Netherlands so this is my first trip and I don’t know how the system works to get the tickets for the celebrities. We are there in weekend 3 and 4 so I would absolute love to meet Warwick Davis and Ray Park, how early must we arrive to get tickets for meeting them and how do we get the tickets exactly? Also when you meet them, do you have time for a small talk and taking a picture with them and things like that? A huge thanks already for your help and a compliment for your site, it really helps tourist like me! ;)
Arrive very early for top celebs. Like 5am. You’ll get a paper ticket with time stamped to return to meet. You can small talk, get a photo, autograph etc.
Hi Kenny,
Do you have any information regarding January 2015 Star Wars events?
Aren’t any Star Wars Weekends are only May-June. Jedi Training Academy and Star Tours 2.0 are all you’ll see.
Your advice was spot on. You MUST arrive early. I got there at 0600 this morning for Ray Parks & was at end of the line. Just barely got a fast pass HOWEVER I almost didn’t get toeet him bc they were so far behind. So you MUST get there early. If its something that means a lot to you LISTEN 2 KTP!!!!
Thank you Stephani!
Hi Kenny thanks for the awesome work you do, I was wondering if they still hand out presigned autographs of the black and white picture of the visiting celebrity, if so how do you get those autographs.
If you are visiting a Celebrity, they do offer you a black and white headshot photo for free or you can have other items signed by them. You must arrive early to get the FP ticket and wristband for a celebrity. Popular ones may run out by 5:00am

Star Wars Weekends Celebrities 2014 (updated)
I’ll be interested to see how the new FastPass+ system will be incorporated into this years Star Wars weekends…. and how far ahead they will “release” access to any FastPass’s for them (assuming they offer any). I’ll definately be following as this years event gets closer. Thanks for all the work you put into this!
Welcome Tracy. I’m doubting that the Celebrity autographs will be included in FP+. Would sure be great if they were, but they’ll probably make people line up early as always.
Kenny, I have been on pins and needles waiting to get these info for our trip today for SWW tomorrow. Thank You!
You’re welcome. I’ll work on getting character info tomorrow.
We’re going this weekend and staying on Disney property, do the busses still only run an hour before the park opens? I feel like we’ll never get there in time!
I believe that’s about right. Most people who want autographs take a personal vehicle or take a cab.
Kenny, just wanted to say thank you so much for this!! Last year we met more characters than ever thanks to your list!!
You’re very welcome!
Ah man! The weekend I was GOING to go Jim Cummings is there?!? Curse my luck.
Is this Orlando or California? I love Witwer.
Star Wars Weekends are only in Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL
