I think we're on the same page, Christine! My family is looking forward to celebrating our summer birthdays at the Disneyland Resort as well!
We are beyond excited to see that phase one of
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will be opening May 31, well ahead of schedule. I hope your young Padawan approves! A lot may change in the next few months. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest offerings. The
dining event list will show the latest dining packages. These can generally be booked up to 60 days in advance. Other
special offers may be available from time to time as well.
One special activity to consider is to make reservations to learn Jedi lore from the Gatherers and create your own Jedi weapon at
Savi's Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers. If you are staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel, a Star Wars-themed In-Room Celebration from
Disney Floral and Gifts is another great way to help make your Disneyland Resort vacation memorable. And, of course, a complimentary birthday celebration button from City Hall in Disneyland Park or the Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park will help invite extra pixie dust from Cast Members. It's even OK if your visit doesn't happen to be on the day of your son's birthday.
I hope you enjoy making lasting memories for your son. Please come back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with any additional questions you may have.
May the Force be with you, Christine!
