Star Wars at Disney

June 28, 2019

Star Wars: Galaxy Edge at Disneyland in California opened at the end of May to great reviews (and crowds) and will open at Walt Disney World in Orlando at the end of August.  In expectation of demand, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will offer Extra Extra Magic Hours from 6:00am to 9:00am daily from September 1-November 2.  Yes, that’s 6:00am!!  Capacity will be limited. Additionally, this section of the theme park will be available during Extra Magic Hours for Disney hotel guests.  It will showcase two main attractions.  The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will be open in August and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open later this year (no fastpasses to start).  To help pay for the park, there will be plenty of themed shops (including building your own lightsaber) and a few quick dining options and bars.  Note that Disney has costume restrictions in place; so be sure to review before you don your Chewbacca costume and can’t get in!
