Star Wars Dine-In Galactic Breakfast review

Review of the Star Wars Dine-in Galactic Breakfast at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at Hollywood Studios

Update 5/10/14  Added examples of the bonus content photos you receive to the bottom of the post.

Our day began by arriving at Hollywood Studios about 7:30 am.  We saw that there were two signs in the character meal area on the far left of the entrance points.  We headed for the right line for the Star Wars meals.  A few other people lined up behind us and a couple were in front.  A guy in front said one lady told him to get in the back of the single line on the left and another lady told him to get in the Star Wars line on the right.  Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

 

I told him that someone will come tell us to get back into the long line and a few minutes later a lady will come tell us to go back to the line on the right.  I’m such a prophet :)

We thought it was funny that the sign said they had already filled all the spots for American Idol before the park opened.  I think someone forgot to remove the sign because they don’t usually offer breakfast at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios (10)

Our 8:00am breakfast appointment allowed us to be among the first to enter for the Star Wars Breakfast!  Woot woot! The even have a special spiel about joining the rebellion.  I’m cool with that, I rode a motorcycle once before breaking both wrists.  That makes me sorta rebellious right?Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

The excitement among the Star Wars fans was palpable and we could see that Darth Vader and Boba Fett were just inside the entrance with a special backdrop and a couple of Photopass photographers ready to snap away.

The photopass peeps were kind enough to snap a photo.  The lighting here was good enough to get this photo with no flash.  The reason it has no flash is because I left it turned on a couple days ago and it died :)Boba Fett and Darth Vader at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

After meeting this villainous duo, you make you way to your car.  We were parked up close to the front for a great view of the screen.  I took this high quality photo of the menu.  The only thing we didn’t know the other day was the kids menu portion.Menu at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Instead of showing hokey 50’s sci-fi stuff on the big screen, they are showing all sorts of clips from Star Wars movies and some funny fillers.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

The band is tuned up and ready for the show.  Where’s the Bantha Milk?Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

That smarty C3PO shows up for a bit.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Oh, there’s the Bantha Milk!  It’s light blue in color and has a hint of blueberry flavor.  It was quite good and refreshing.  I tried the white, chocolate and Bantha flavors and the apple juice.  Hey, it’s a $48 breakfast, I’m getting my money’s worth.  Even got a Bantha Milk to go too.  Our server was super nice and did a great job by the way.  She liked my Alabama accent.  I think it’s an Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Florida hybrid though.  Not counting the many states and nations that I’ve visited.Bantha Milk at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Cute little pastries begin the meal.  You can’t really see them because it’s REALLY dark in here.  They could be from Dunkin Donuts for all we know.Pastries at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Next they bring you your choice of the Yoda fruit cup or the Yoda yogurt and fruit.  Purdy neat.Appetizers at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Then this guy showed up and messed up our happy time.  It was so dark in the room, that he needed me to flash some light his way to help him autograph our book.  Stormtroopers meet at the dining area.Stormtrooper Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Kids are always happy to meet some Star Wars characters.Stormtroopers at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Greedo stopped by and tried to force me hand over a pastry or pay a debt or something.  I couldn’t get him to sit down to discuss the situation.  Greedo meets at the dining area.

This is what it looked like with no flash and no external lighting.  Eyes are cool, but can’t really see my kiddos.Jawas at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

I fired up the flashlight thingy on my phone and it made it a little better. We traded the Jawas on of my Character Locator buttons for a little plastic Darth Vader head.  Losers!  We came out so far ahead in the deal.  We could sell that Darth Vader head for like 99 cents on Ebay and the button is worthless!  No one collects KtP buttons.  Jawas meet at the dining area.Jawas at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

These guys came back around for a second visit because we were having too much fun.  They asked that we cut out all the smiling, laughing and drinking Bantha milk through out noses.Stormtroopers at Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

Luke, what did Obi Wan tell you about your father?  He told me that Tim Allen is my father and he is actually a toy, a T.O.Y. toy!  I am your father!  NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

It was cool seeing some clips from this one-time tv special.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

It was a bit odd seeing bad guys roam around the place collecting food and stealing people’s pastries.  Okay, they don’t steal the pastries, just force you to take photos with them.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

I think Greedo was trying to slurp down some eggs while the family looked the other way.  Gotta watch out for these fellas, this is a tough place.Star Wars Galactic Dine-in Character Breakfast at Hollywood Studios

You’re given a special “Driver’s License” too.

Overall, we had a fun experience.  It would be an easy way to meet Darth Vader and Boba Fett, but the others at the meal are really easy to find roaming about.  I once waited FOUR times just to try to meet Boba Fett.  It was still the worst experience in all my days at Disney World.  I’ve waited many hours to meet Flynn Rider and Oogie Boogie, but the heat and the experience were terrible that year.

The food at the meal was tasty and hot and there was plenty of it.  The server asked if we’d like any more to eat or drink frequently.  I had to waddle out of the place.  I enjoyed the atmosphere and it made for a memorable time with my kids.  It appeared that many kids really enjoyed the Jawas, but most didn’t know you can trade with them.  Can’t trade cash or valuables though.  They love shiny things!

What about Photopass?

Many guests use Photopass these days, so Disney has a Photopass person at the Vader and Boba meet.  Once you’re inside the theater, you’re on your own though.  Your server should be willing to help snap a photo, but there aren’t many character attendants and no photopass inside.

The photopass photos from this meet and greet are available for Download and are FREE after dining at this meal!

Here’s a photo of the photopass card that Jessin2D posted on twitter.

Do they offer a pre-arranged photo package for sale?

They didn’t offer any type of pre-printed photo packages like they do at the Tusker House or Cinderella’s Royal Table this morning.  They only offered the special photopass card.

Do the Star Wars characters at this meal autograph?

Yes, we were able to get autographs from all the characters at the meal.

It’s dark inside

It’s dark inside the theater and many guests were having difficulty getting decent shots with the characters.  You may consider bringing a small flashlight or using your camera app as I did to brighten it up a bit.  Many guests using flash found them to be very blown out.

What was playing on the screen?

It was a combination of different Star Wars movies clips, some clips from a 1978 Star Wars cartoon and some comedy insert clips.

Any questions you might have that I didn’t cover?  Are you excited to try out this new meal?

Thank you for this!! I will be taking my son to this (just the two of us), and the day we're going is an EMH day. Our ressie is for 8:30. Will JTA be open at rope drop for signups? If so, is it realistic for us to be there at rope drop and head straight to JTA and still make our ressie? My son is so very excited!!

So I am looking through my photos from last week and who was sitting beside us at the breakfast at Sci Fi. I recognized the red shirt.

How were you able to get such great pics with the stormtroopers and Greedo? I've had terrible luck with getting good pictures at Sci-Fi Dine In, both with and without flash. What did you use to get your great pictures?

I set my ISO up pretty high and used my cellphone flashlight for lighting.

I thought that was you when we were in line. I was going to ask you if you were Kenny the Pirate but didn't want to sound like a nut job.

Do they let you get extra? Also do all the characters do autographs? Great review I was worried this was not going to be worth it but it sounds like it is. Thanks for the review now looking forward to our ressie on June 6th, 8th and 14th:)
