Bright suns, Amy! A visit to
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios will give you the opportunity to pilot the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a dream come true for any Star Wars fan! And, of course, no place makes dreams comes true better than the Walt Disney World Resort! The effort that went into recreating the Corellian light freighter was a major accomplishment for the Imagineers at Disney Imagineering!
You must have received training from Master Yoda as your strategy to "rope drop" shows wisdom. I have always found that arriving early to the Disney Parks makes for a better Disney Day! I find the crowds to be more manageable the earlier we arrive to the parks. There are two entrances to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. As you correctly suggest, you can enter via Toy Story Land or you can enter near Muppet*Vision 3D at Grand Avenue.
Amy, while assisting in a smuggling run will be an absolute blast, you will find yourself in awe of
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance also located in Galaxy's Edge. Be sure to use your
My Disney Experience app to grab a boarding group at either 10AM or 2PM. Be sure that your fingers move at Lightspeed because boarding groups go fast!
May for Force be with you as you continue planning your visit! Be sure to come back to planDisney with any more questions!
