Disneyland’s Star Wars Land Will Require Reservations—Here’s How to Make Sure You Get One
During opening month, guests to the much-anticipated new park will need to reserve
Disney is opening its anticipated Star Wars Land at Disneyland and Walt Disney World months ahead of schedule, but with the surprise debut come a few unexpected reveals, including ticket reservations and Fastpass plans.
When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens on May 31 at Disneyland in California and Aug. 29 at Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, you won’t need to pay high prices for Star Wars Land tickets or buy anything except park admission to see Galaxy’s Edge in all its glory.
Still, while there is no additional fee required to enter or even attend Star Wars Land’s big opening on both coasts, you will need a reservation time in certain cases. Finally seeing the spires of planet Batuu, visiting Oga’s Cantina, and experiencing the Millennium Falcon up close may just require a bit of extra planning.
Read on to learn how to get into the parks, and stay tuned as further information about the Star Wars land openings is revealed:
At First, Disneyland Will Require Reservations
From May 31 to June 23, 2019—the first month Disneyland’s Star Wars Land will be in operation—guests will need a free reservation in addition to Disneyland tickets to enter Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Guests with Disneyland admission who do not have Star Wars Land reservations cannot enter that section of the park during this time. The number of Star Wars Land reservations will be limited, and details on how to obtain Disneyland’s Star Wars reservations will soon be announced.
There is one way to nearly guarantee you’ll attend the big Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening: by staying at a Disneyland hotel. Guests of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, Disneyland Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian Resort and Spa between May 31 and June 23, 2019 will be given designated reservations to enter Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland during their stay. (Disneyland tickets will still be required for park entrance, in addition to the Star Wars Land reservations.) Entry into the Star Wars-themed land is subject to capacity limitations, and further details about Disneyland Resort hotels’ Star Wars reservations are to come. But at this time, reserving a room at one of Disneyland’s hotels is the best way to ensure attendance during its first few weeks.
