Pre-Race Picture with Jabba the Hutt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd while the lines may be long, they do move fast as there generally isn\u2019t a ton of character interaction going on- there\u2019s no autograph signing just a quick snap of the picture by the PhotoPass photographer, or with your camera if you provide it.\u00a0 You do have to make sure that you race bib is visable so that your photo will be available in PhotoPass.\u00a0 In past years, BB-8 has been one of the most popular characters- but make sure that you don\u2019t try to touch him or his stand- cast members are very particular about that.<\/p>\nBB-8 Pre-Race Picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd if you don\u2019t get all the pictures taken before the race, don\u2019t worry- many of the characters are available post-race for pictures with you and your shiny medal.<\/p>\n
During the Race<\/h2>\n After the walk to the corrals, the race will begin.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to predict where the first photo stop will be, but if you haven\u2019t seen a character by mile one, then you will at the first mile marker.\u00a0 Each mile marker will display a unique Star Wars Character, and a clock that started with the first participant- so it\u2019s not actually your time.<\/p>\nMile Marker Picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMany runners make this their own character stop by taking a selfie with the mile marker, or asking another runner who has stopped for the same purpose to take a photo for you.\u00a0 Runners are often willing to do this for each other as there are no PhotoPass photographers stationed at the mile markers.<\/p>\nChewbacca Race Picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDuring the race, you will see various characters that will vary in number depending on the length of the race.\u00a0 You can count on seeing some favorites like Chewbacca and R2-D2.<\/p>\nR2-D2 Race Picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut what makes the races unique are some of the large backdrops- including the trash compactor scene and the famed Hoth Cave that with a little Disney magic come out looking perfect.<\/p>\nDisney Magic makes the picture from the Hoth Cave come out perfect!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWith the popularity of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, there\u2019s a good chance that you may see several new backdrops and characters.\u00a0 Personally, I\u2019m hoping for the opportunity to have a picture with one of the crystal foxes (known as a vulptex) or on the bridge of any of the starships- especially the Millennium Falcon.\u00a0 With Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/em> coming soon, could there perhaps be a young Han Solo to take a picture with?\u00a0 We won\u2019t know until race time, but the possibility on new and different characters on the course is very exciting!<\/p>\nPost-Race<\/h2>\n But remember the photos don\u2019t end at the finish line, but post-race.\u00a0 Make sure to get at least one photo post-race with your medal, and any of the character that you happened to miss pre-race.<\/p>\nDarth Maul Post-Race Picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMost of all, this weekend, make sure to enjoy this unique experience.<\/p>\n
