Galactic greetings to you, Geoffrey, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It's great to see you back hEAR!
I’m so excited for your upcoming visit to the
Disneyland Resort! It sounds like you also have a journey planned to a galaxy far, far away, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for you! Visiting Batuu is an out-of-this world experience that my family and I just can’t get enough of! In fact, my son had the time of his life building a lightsaber at
Savi’s Workshop just last week. It was the most unique, incredible experience I’ve ever had at the Disneyland Resort!
I’m happy to report that Rey can typically be found in
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on a daily basis, though you won’t find her in a traditional Character meet-and-greet experience. Since Galaxy’s Edge is such an immersive Guest experience, you’ll have plenty of chances for
Character interactions, but you won’t find a traditional Character line for autographs and pictures. Instead, you’ll find Characters like Rey, Chewbacca, Vi Moradi, Stormtroopers, and even Kylo Ren, all roaming the land at various times throughout the day. Characters can be found in the areas that match their alliance to the Resistance or the First Order. So, you’ll find Rey and Chewbacca near the Critter Country entrance to Galaxy’s Edge, which is the location of the Resistance camp just outside of Black Spire Outpost. There, I love watching Chewbacca work on the X-Wing Fighter. Sometimes, Rey joins him there, or wanders the areas just outside of the marketplace. It’s important for her to stay under-cover, so she won’t sign autographs, but she will pose for pictures. If you have any trouble finding her, I recommend asking a Cast Member near the future entrance of
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which is also located in the Resistance camp, just across from the X-Wing.
I highly recommend making a reservation at
Oga’s Cantina, too. It’s such a fun spot to take a break while enjoying the beats of DJ R-3X! Building an astromech droid unit is another amazing experience – you can make a reservation for the Droid Depot
here! Also, don’t forget to skip the line and
mobile order some
Blue Milk – no trip to Batuu is complete without it!
Here’s the
Entertainment Schedule for your arrival date, so you can start mapping out your magical plans!
May the Force be with you!
