Disney-Minutes ago, we shared an exciting announcement many of you have been waiting to hear – Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is opening ahead of schedule on May 31 at Disneyland Resort in Southern California and August 29 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
That’s right – it’s debuting early because of high guest interest in experiencing this new, immersive land. On opening day for phase one, you’ll be able to live your own Star Wars story and take the controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, sample amazing galactic food and beverages, explore an intriguing collection of merchant shops and more.
And for phase two, opening later this year, will be Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the most ambitious, immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined that will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance and will blur the lines between fantasy and reality. In light of tremendous demand, Disney made the decision to open the land in phases to allow guests to sooner enjoy the one-of-a-kind experiences that make Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge so spectacular.
Yes. Yes. YES. Holy crap this looks amazing! A little about me, HUGE Star Wars/Marvel/Disney guy. Yes I know I'm 26 but I'll go back to Disney year after year if I could afford it and didn't have a desire to see any other part of the world. I've even got a Mickey Mouse tattoo on my hand (the lady's idea) but STILL. You're telling me that I get to captain the Millenium Falcon next time I go?! AND get thrown smack dab in the middle of an intergalactic war?!?! I'll wait ALL DAY for that. If it's anything like the Avatar ride they have at Animal Kingdom (seriously life changing) then the next time I go, I may never leave...
