Hi Melissa! Welcome to planDisney!
You are going to have SO much fun exploring
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios soon! While I have always adored all the theme parks, this one has definitely climbed up the list with the additions of
Toy Story Land,
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. There is a lot of adventure ahead of you!
In the past, my family has always tried to book early morning breakfast
dining reservations in the theme parks because we love filling our bellies before the attractions open. It is also super fun to be there early enough to get pictures in an almost empty theme park! There is usually an entrance set aside for Guests with any pre-opening reservations, however, with new policies in place, the theme parks have been opening early as well.
Our experience last month was that
Disney's Hollywood Studios opened around 45 minutes before the official opening time. With that in mind, I suggest you get there early so you can be among the first to enter and head straight to
Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers at the Walt Disney World Resort. When you arrive that morning, ask a nearby Cast Member if there is a particular entrance for those with early reservations. Even if there isn't that day, the Cast Members will be happy to direct you to make sure you get to your reservation on time and safely!
I hope you have the BEST vacation, Melissa! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
