Attendees get their faces scanned and in about four weeks they receive a figurine in the mail. The figurine is a mini replica (8”) of Han frozen in carbonite, except it has your face. Star Wars fans, me included, think this is a very cool promotion.
Ricky Brigante, host of the Inside the Magic podcast at insidethemagic.net, recently took part in the carbon freezing process. He contacted me to let me know he has a video of the process including views of the carbon freezing chamber set up by the Imagineers at Disney. Ricky said that I could share it with our readers, along with the photo above, and so I’m taking him up on his offer.
The video is only a few minutes and verifies my initial thoughts that this is pretty cool.
Remember, the cost will be $99.95 plus shipping and handling for the figure. You can purchase additional copies for $74.95. You need to schedule your appointment to be immortalized before you head out to Disney by calling 407-WDW-TECH (407-939-8324).
Star Wars Weekends at Disney Hollywood Studios runs from May 18th through June 10th, each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There are a host of Jedi inspired activities going on to keep you busy. Theme park admission is required to take part in the carbon-freezing experience.

I did want to point out we learned the Han Solo experience is open EVERY DAY through June 10th, and not simply on the weekends. So you might want to make an appointment during the week and sneak on in under the radar! 😉
