Starport: A Star Wars Encounter
Starport in Discoveryland is a location where you can meet a Star Wars character. It uses the virtual queue system in the Disneyland Paris app.
This meet is almost exclusively Darth Vader, except for special occasions or parties, but occasionally he may be replaced with Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Rey or Kylo Ren.
There is a Photo Pass photographer present. For more information about virtual queues, how to book them and what to expect see the page on virtual queues here.

Queueing
You can join the queue once your virtual queue timer has reached zero. They will let you through then you wait outside until it is almost your turn, once inside you will be seen quite quickly,
There is no seating at all while queuing, and most of the queue is outdoors but is covered.
Access
Access into the building is all level and very smooth. There is no loud music but Darth Vader can appear to summon you in which could give some guests a bit of a fright.
There is plenty of space while meeting the character and you can’t see anyone else waiting while you are meeting him so it feels very personal.
Comfort
There is no loud music, and because it’s indoors it’s a nice temperature and you can take coats off for your pictures if you want to.
It is quite a calm experience and it doesn't feel very busy or crowded, Darth Vader however can be quite intimidating, and he is unable to sign autographs.
Wheelie Good Score
I like this option as it is one where you can use virtual queue, but often I prefer to use my virtual queue opportunities for one of the other options!
To be honest the only reason to knock one star off is because I am personally not a big Star Wars fan, I'd rather book one of the other character meets and I found Darth Vader a bit scary!
For me this meet gets a wheelie good score of 4 out of 5!
