Congratulations, Caroline! I am so excited about your first Walt Disney World Resort visit! I’m happy to provide some tips for a great experience!
As a Star Wars fan, you MUST visit
Disney’s Hollywood Studios! This park is home to
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! This is an entire land within the theme park devoted to taking fans to a place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! There is no additional fee to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. It is included in your theme park admission for Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Once immersed in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge you will find two attractions –
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run! Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is like an 18-minute mini Star Wars movie starring you! You’ll be on a mission to aide Rey, Poe, BB8, and Finn against Kylo Ren and the First Order! This attraction is one of the most stunning accomplishments of Walt Disney Imagineering! Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will put you behind the controls of the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs! My sons and I are still in awe each time we enter this attraction!
Of course, during your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, be sure to climb aboard the very first Star Wars attraction to open in that park – Star Tours – The Adventures Continue! This attraction is not located in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but is included in your theme park admission for Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
As a fan of Cars, you might want to visit
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort for a self-guided tour! There is an entire resort area themed to Cars including life-size statues of the Cars characters! These make for great photo opportunities! And, you’ll love a future visit to the Walt Disney World Resort because plans are in the works for a new Cars-themed area with two planned attractions at Magic Kingdom Park!
Dreams do come true!
