Hi Christy,
Welcome to planDisney! I hope you're getting excited for your getaway to The Most Magical Place on Earth! With the
Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival going on and all kinds of springtime beauty and fun to enjoy, you're going to have a BLAST!
I don't blame you one bit for making
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios a priority for your visit. Being able to step into one of the greatest stories of all time is pretty incredible! As you know, though, capacity is limited in each of the theme parks as part of the phased reopening. While the
availability calendar can change based on whether you're using a theme park ticket, annual pass, or vacation package, you won't be guaranteed entrance to any of the theme parks simply because you're staying at one of the
hotels that qualifies under "Select Resort hotels." You'll still need a
Disney Park Pass reservation along with a valid ticket to enter the theme parks. Availability is currently a bit spotty in May, but please keep checking! I've heard of several people planning trips now who have been able to find availability by rechecking frequently. Of course one other option you may have is to upgrade your tickets to
Park Hopper option tickets. It's not possible to upgrade tickets for just one day; the cost will be the same whether you hop around one day or all eight days you'll be in the area, but if you find that there's availability open to hop over to Disney's Hollywood Studios after 2 p.m. some day, that's always a possibility, too. Do note, though, that you wouldn't be able to experience
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance that way. Only Guests with Disney Park Pass reservations are able to join a boarding group for that experience. You could, however, enjoy
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run and take in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the planet of Batuu. Will you be team blue milk or team green milk?
I'm sending pixie dust that your itinerary will be able to come together perfectly, Christy, and all your Disney dreams will come true during your visit. If we can help with anything else, please don't hesitate to stop by planDisney again with more questions. I hope you have a truly magical vacation!
