***DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that some of the Cantina Babes you meet may be scoundrels, Dark Side affiliates, or stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerfherders. We assume no responsibility for the impish whims of our staff. Keep your wits about you, be respectful, and when all else fails, remember that the easiest way to get a Fey to like you is by giving them money.***
ABOUT QUESTS
Each guest will be given a Quest by our resident Quest Giver upon entry. You are not required to complete your quest, but it's way more fun if you do! When you complete your quest, return to the Quest Giver & receive a reward. You may ask the Quest Giver to grant you as many quests as you like and will receive rewards for each one you complete.
ABOUT OUR CANTINA BABES
Combining the art of exotic dance with roleplaying, improv, circus, sideshow, and other extraordinary abilities, let our Cantina Babes enchant and enthrall you! Each performer will do stage sets as well as interact with guests on the floor as original sci-fi characters that they've either created just for this occasion or perhaps some old favorites that they have always wanted to bring to life.
Note: Our performers are required to embody the characters they've chosen to become ALL NIGHT. Please don't ask them personal questions or try to force them to break character. It's a dick move.
