Disney Parks recently announced that it will open Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ahead of schedule at Disneyland on May 31!
STAR WARS LAND WILL OPEN IN TWO PHASES
In phase one (opening May 31), guests will be transported to the remote planet of Batuu, full of unique sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Guests can become part of the story as they sample galactic food and beverages, explore an intriguing collection of merchant shops, and take the controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
Phase two, opening later this year, will be Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the most ambitious, immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined. Guests will find themselves in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
Disney made the decision to open the land in phases to allow guests to get sneak peeks at the spectacular Star Wars land.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT STAR WARS LAND
- FOURTEEN ACRES of Star Wars themed fun. This is the largest single-themed land ever created in a Disney park, pushing the boundaries of innovation.
- TWO attractions: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (opening May 31) and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (opening later this year).
- Oga’s Cantina: enjoy exotic beverages served in unique vessels and listen to spirited musical entertainment provided by DJ R-3X.

- Droid Depot: construct your own astromech droids. These droids will be capable of interacting with elements in the land.
- Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers: customize and craft your own lightsaber.
