Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge opens in Disneyland on May 31st. So, the question is are you on the edge of your seat? Star Wars is something we’ve grown up with, it is basically a huge chunk of our childhood. The first real non animated Disney movie I personally ever saw, which is a little ironic now. Here’s the top 10 things you’ll need to know if you’re going to visit Galaxy’s Edge in the first few weeks at either Disneyland in California or Disneyworld In Florida (opening August 29th).
The top 10 things you’ll need to know before you visit Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
1. The Crowds are Going to be Insane. No brainer, right? Have patience and don’t expect to be able to get around in the park very easily.
2. You will need reservations. May 31st. through June 23th you will be required to have a reservation, that means valid park admission and be a registered hotel guest. There is one reserved space for each registered hotel guest. This is valid once for your whole stay.
3. There is a 4 Hour time limit for your reservation and if you leave early you cannot reenter.
4. The Rise of the Resistance attraction will not be open on May 31. Rise of the Resistance will be considered phase 2.
5. No fast passes for the Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run. It will be operating with stand-by and single rider lines only,
6. Oga’s Cantina will give you an authentic movie cantina experience. This is where you will find alcoholic drinks in Disneyland
7. You can finally get a taste of blue milk. No, it doesn’t taste like milk and it comes in a blue and green version. Both versions come in alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The blue has a tropical taste and the green a citrus taste. The early consensus is the blue is a little better.
8. Mobile ordering for the counter service restaurants will be available but only within Galaxy’s Edge.
9. You can build your own droid or lightsaber. The droids will be $99.95 plus tax and the lightsabers $199.99 plus tax.
10. It’s not a land you’ll be familiar with, it takes place in a place called Batuu. Dreamed up by Disney Imagineers.
This top 10 will get you started to joining in the fun of Disney’s most immersive lands ever developed. Get out there and experience it and May The Force Be With You.
