Hi James!
Thanks for stopping by to see us at planDisney! I'm so glad that you are planning a trip to Walt Disney World Resort.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is definitely worth your visit because it will allow you to step into a galaxy far, far away so you can become part of your own galactic adventure. My boys built customized droids at
Droid Depot in November and it was the highlight of their trip!
You can purchase
MagicBands for your upcoming vacation that will give you access to your theme park tickets,
Lightning Lane reservations and
Disney PhotoPass account. Plus, if you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, your MagicBands will give you access to your hotel room and allow you to make purchases throughout the resort that will be charged to your hotel account.
Since you are visiting the "Most Magical Place on Earth" from Australia, you will be able to purchase your MagicBands once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. You will find a wide variety of MagicBands available at the shops throughout the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs. Once you purchase them, you will need to
link them to your My Disney Experience account and I recommend that you link them through the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
James, be sure to grab a reservation to
Oga's Cantina for your time in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Oga serves a wide variety of clientele at Batuu's local watering hole, so you never know when you will run into a Resistance supporter, a member of the First Order or a scoundrel during your visit. Plus, the beverages are very tasty!
Let us know if we can help you again as you continue planning your trip. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
