Ultimate Touring Guide to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park
By Megan of @minglingwithmickey and Chase of @imagineerinsta
Step into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and immerse yourself in a 14-acre galaxy far, far away at Disneyland® Park. With crowds vying for the same experiences, our expert-tested touring plan helps you navigate efficiently, live your Star Wars story, and maximize every moment on Batuu.
First Steps: Prioritize Your Galaxy’s Edge Adventure
Before entering Disneyland® Park, identify your must-dos: Oga’s Cantina reservation, building a lightsaber or droid, or riding Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run? Prioritizing shapes your perfect day. For Oga’s Cantina, secure a spot via the Disneyland app early—mobile ordering or virtual queue alerts free up time to explore Black Spire Outpost or queue for rides.
Build-Your-Own Droid or Lightsaber: Plan Ahead
At Droid Depot ($99.99+), customize R-Series or BB-Series droids with panels and personality chips—a fan-favorite at around $100. For the iconic Savi’s Workshop ($219.99+), craft a personalized lightsaber in a ceremonial gathering with a special Star Wars guide. These sell out fast; head straight there or book via app to avoid missing out.
Best Food and Drinks on Batuu
Discover unique dining across Galaxy’s Edge. Oga’s Cantina serves galactic cocktails like the Outer Rim (a Disney Park standout) and Fuzzy Tauntaun. Specialty Coca-Cola bottles with immersive labels are at outdoor carts—true collector’s items designed with Walt Disney Imagineering.
For savory bites, try the Ronto Wrap at Ronto Roasters near the marketplace entrance: roasted pork, sausage, peppercorn sauce, and slaw in pita—filling, flavorful, and outpost-perfect.
Mastering Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
This interactive simulator seats six for ultimate teamwork. Aim for pilot (front-row thrills, hyperspace jumps), gunner (blast foes), or engineer (keep systems running—buttons light up intuitively). Full groups of six you trust yield the best scores. Use Lightning Lane (formerly FastPass/Genie+) for skips; single rider suits quick access, often landing gunners/engineers. Pair with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance for the full duo.
Meet Characters on Batuu
Encounter roaming icons: Rey and Chewbacca near the Resistance base via marketplace; Kylo Ren and Stormtroopers by First Order Cargo and Oga’s Cantina. No fixed meet times—stay alert for immersive interactions.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is fully open at Disneyland® Park—no reservations needed. Updated experiences reflect current operations.
May the spire keep you!
