Fans of a galaxy far, far away will discover additional, limited-time experiences, character encounters, photo opportunities and more this May and June throughout Disneyland Resort. It all adds to the galactic adventures already found at both Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Tomorrowland in Disneyland park year-round.
Enjoy
Out-of-This-Galaxy Immersive Experiences
In Tomorrowland, Hyperspace Mountain is back for a limited time through July 4! You can once again hurtle through hyperspace while dodging furious dogfights during this high-speed adventure.
Then, make the jump to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue and hop aboard a Starspeeder 1000 for an unforgettable flight to legendary destinations across the Star Wars galaxy. Fun fact: Star Tours is celebrating 35 years of galactic adventures this year!
Over at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you can live your own adventure as you join a climactic battle between the Resistance and the First Order in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and take control of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
Encounter
Heroes, Villains and Bounty Hunters
Captain
Phasma and a detachment of Stormtroopers have returned for a limited time to
patrol Tomorrowland, seeking out Resistance sympathizers and reinforcing the
will of the First Order. Plus, stay tuned for new visitors approaching on the
horizon.
And a trip to planet Batuu would only be complete with a visit to see everyone’s favorite Wookiee, a selfie with R2-D2, and encounters with Kylo Ren and Rey.
See
Yourself in Another Galaxy
For a
limited time, Tomorrowland showcases special photo spots celebrating the
Disney+ original series’ set in the Star Wars galaxy. You can take your
picture sitting on a replica of the palace throne from “The Book of Boba Fett.”
Nearby, recreate the moment in season two of “The Mandalorian,”
when Grogu connected with the Force at the ancient Jedi temple on Tython.
Also,
be on the lookout for Disney PhotoPass photographers offering limited-time Magic
Shots featuring Stormtroopers and K-2SO in Tomorrowland. Another, featuring
Grogu, is located on the outer edges of the galaxy, on
your way to Batuu!
