Hi again, Dawn! Bright suns! I hope you don't mind me answering another one of your questions. You're just my type of planner, and I want to support your Disney dreams. And around
Batuu, it's always wise to have a plan before venturing into the Outer Rim!
I love the
Disney After Hours events. The attractions around the
Walt Disney World Resort are just incredible, and these events are great opportunities to get a bunch of rides done with lower waits. And, as a secret vampire who likes to avoid the sun as much as possible (yes, I'm
that guy with an umbrella walking around the parks in the daytime), I love that I don't have to worry about reapplying sunscreen! Let's just say I fit in much better on Batuu after the twin suns have set.
As reported on the
Disney Parks Blog,
Oga's Cantina is typically open for walk-up availability during
Disney After Hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios. So, no reservations are necessary! Just stroll up and see if there's room in Oga's infamous watering hole for another traveler from across the galaxy.
Now, while there is no wrong way to enjoy one of these events, remember that you can typically get into the park at 7:00 p.m., a few hours before the event starts. So, you
could try to secure reservations for this space bar beforehand, and then, once the event starts, you can go directly to your favorite rides, meet some characters, and enjoy those complimentary snacks! It's all about what you want to prioritize. Whether you're trying to accomplish every mission on your itinerary or simply wandering the streets of Batuu, there's no wrong way to spend an evening in the galaxy or off-planet around the rest of the park. When I last did an After Hours event, it was at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and there were areas of the park that felt like we had it all to ourselves. So, enjoy this unique experience!
Dawn,
keep those questions coming, and enjoy every second of your after-hours adventure. May the spires keep you!
'Til the spire,
Matt
