Meet The Mandalorian and Grogu at Disney's Hollywood Studios (Walt Disney World)

If you want to meet The Mandalorian and Grogu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this is the way. The pair meet daily in Galaxy’s Edge and are listed in the My Disney Experience app. Below, we’ll examine the details of how we met The Mandalorian and Grogu and what to expect. Since their initial debut, both Star Wars have become part of the roaming character lineup. So you’ll likely have the opportunity to meet them on your vacation.

When they first debuted, we headed straight to Galaxy’s Edge. After making a few laps around the Star Wars-themed land, we finally ran into a crowd at the front of the Black Spire Outpost Marketplace. One cast member told us that The Mandalorian and Grogu could often be found around Ronto Roasters. Later, another cast member said they could roam anywhere, but most likely, they could be found in the Marketplace.

Ronto Roasters is connected to the Marketplace near the Millenium Falcon, while the other end of the Marketplace lets out closer to Rise of the Resistance. Here, we found a host of guests waiting to get a glimpse of the new roaming characters.

It wasn’t long before the crowd began to shift. Guests began moving toward the Marketplace. Some squealing with delight, an indicator that The Mandalorian and Grogu had arrived. Further down, I’ll share a video that better represents the crowd on the day they debuted. These photos are only from when The Mandalorian reached our immediate area, where he could be seen at face level.

When he got closer, the crowd somewhat parted to allow some space.

It was as though they had stepped out of the television and into our lives. I’ve never seen a more realistic character sighting. They are both beyond impressive.

Grogu is life-like. He blinks his eyes and turns his head to survey the crowd.

We got a “This is the way” as he passed.

The Mandalorian is a talking character. Many guests would ask to pose for a selfie, and he often obliged. However, note that it is up to him, and he cannot stop to meet everyone.

Here is a video of our first encounter, meeting The Mandalorian and Grogu. It will give you a better idea of what to expect. (However, note that crowds aren’t nearly as bad these days to see them.)

After the pair passed us, they went inside, and most of the crowd dispersed. Thankfully, we decided to let everyone clear out before attempting to leave. Within a few moments, we heard The Mandalorian talking again. He had come back out and was posing for a few photos! Most everyone asked for a selfie, but I asked if he would pose for a few pictures of him and Grogu.

As you can see, he was still surrounded by guests. But it was fun to see both of them up close.

Here is one where I caught some of Grogu’s eye movement. Or maybe he was just sleepy from all the excitement.

Since this article was written, the pair have been added to the My Disney Experience app. You’ll want to check the app on the day of your visit for their exact times. Here are the instructions on how to use the app to find characters.

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
After selecting characters, use the locations drop down to select the park of your choice.
Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.

As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

We hope you’ll have the opportunity to meet them. These character meet-and-greets help fill in some of the blank spots at Galaxy’s Edge. We expected to see more characters, including droids, when the land opened. So this is a win-win for everyone. Hopefully, you can see the pair on your next visit.
