It’s official! Disney Parks shared an exciting announcement we have all 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.
During the announcement, it was revealed, high guest interest in experiencing this new, immersive land is the catalyst for the early debut. In a surprising twist, it was announced, the land will open in two phases.
On opening day for phase one, your family will 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.
Later in the year, phase two opens and with 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.
