Hi Erin!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We are huge
Star Wars fans in my house too, and we’ll be joining you for the 2020
Star Wars Rival Run Weekend! This will be our fourth time running this event and we are really hoping at least one of the courses takes us through
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. I know we’ll be anxiously watching for more information as the race approaches.
Jedi Mickey, much like Luke Skywalker, has not been seen in the Galaxy for quite awhile. At this time, I have not heard of any plans to bring him back to the parks, and I don't think he will be returning. However, with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, I am hoping we will see announcements of new Star Wars themed events and
Enchanting Extras over the next few months. We have always visited
Disney’s Hollywood Studios the evening after the half marathon to get
PhotoPass+ Photos with our race medals and watch
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular. The
dessert party that accompanies this show is only booking until the end of this month, but if this event or something similar is offered in the spring, that might be something fun and extra special for your family.
You may also want to consider something like building a droid at the
Droid Depot, or adopting a new pet at the
Creature Stall. Just be sure to visit
Chewbacca before adopting any pets, as I know he has a taste for Porg!
Be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements of new special events, and the
runDisney Blog for more race weekend information as the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend approaches!
Happy training!
