Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Nancy! May be Force be with you as you plan your upcoming summer vacation! My son simply adores all thing Dark Side, so we are well versed in the activities around
Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
While Star Wars Land isn’t expected to open until Summer of 2019, you can still find much to do in the park. There will not be any Star Wars Character dining experiences (my family would love that!) but you can create a fun night by combining a few things. If you haven’t yet seen
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular projected onto Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, please consider the
Star Wars Galactic Dessert Party. During this ticketed event, you’ll have a reserved viewing area for the nighttime spectacular, along with Star Wars Themed Treats and a special souvenir to take home. If you set aside about 90 minutes before the party, you’d have time to take in a character greeting or two in the Star Wars Launch Bay, such as Kylo Ren, Chewy or the adorable BB-8. I loved wrapping my arms around that little orange sphere and was really surprised when he spoke back in corresponding beeps and reactions. It was so cool!
As the opening of Star Wars Land draws closer, keep your eyes on the Disney Parks Blog for more news of the dining, shopping and interaction experiences we can expect in 2019. In the meantime, enjoy your time at the parks! If I can recommend other experiences for you, such as the Star Wars Guided Tour or where to find Darth Vader Chicken and Waffles, please ask me another question! I’m the panelist you’ve been looking for! ~ Lindsey P
