• We know it’s disappointing, but guest appearances are subject to cancellation or schedule change at any time. We bring working actors and actresses to the show and their professional schedules can change with very little notice.
  
  
• Some Guests may charge additional fees for autographs and photo opportunities. Please double check pricing at the autograph tables or check with staff at Photo Ops.
  
  
• Guests will generally appear for the duration of the event, although some may only be available for a shorter amount of time (i.e. a single day). Appearance day(s) will be posted on the website once confirmed by the Guest or their Management.
  
  
• All events, panels, autograph sessions and photo opportunities have limited capacities and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, unless otherwise noted.
  
  
• Activated RFID badges which are lost can be replaced for a fee of $5. Visit Customer Service at the show and speak to a member of staff.

• Youth (ages 13-17) and Child (ages 6-12) passes have specific ages attached to them, and we may ask to see proof of age if your little Jedi looks to be out of sync with the pass they are wearing. Children aged 5 and under can attend for free and do not require a wristband.
