Welcome to planDisney, James!
There are so many out-of-this world experiences throughout
Walt Disney World, but my family's favorites are definitely at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge!
As plans continue for
Returning to a World of Magic, some previously available opportunities have not yet returned, but we can still craft a
Star Wars-themed vacation like nowhere else on Earth.
First, start your day by arriving at Disney's Hollywood Studios early and securing your place to experience
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance--there's nothing else quite like this on the planet! When your Boarding Group is called, you'll have up to one hour to report for your mission. Be prepared to be amazed!
Fuel up for your day of fun with a quick breakfast at
Ronto Roasters (I highly recommend Rising Moons Overnight Oats, paired with a Tatooine Sunset--YUM!) Then, be sure to wander through the shops and sights throughout Black Spire Outpost where you'll find kyber crystals, authentic attire, curious creatures, galactic games, and so much more. (Our favorite souvenir--Han Solo's dice--now hangs from the rear view mirror of our kids' car. Makes me smile every time.)
Next, get a peek inside the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy with a ride on
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. (Just be sure to put a good driver in the pilot's seat for a most effective run.) That last adventure will surely give you lots to talk about, so book a reservation at
Oga's Cantina at the Walt Disney World Resort. No matter what curious concoction you order, it will be different--and delicious--plus, spotting all of the other oddities around you as you sip and savor will also be quite an adventure. (Be sure to order the Happabore Sampler. My family and I had so much fun sampling that!)
You can keep track of all of these great details--and more--by downloading the very handy
My Disney Experience mobile app, too. It's the best way to be sure you don't miss out on the fun.
Throughout your day, be on the lookout for characters big and small. They may pop up when and where you least expect it.
Of course, if you are craving your own Disney Dream Day that's filled with
VIP treatment, consider arranging a
Disney Private VIP Tour. Your professional tour guide will be able to arrange all of the details as you tour the galaxy, making your experience like no other.
As you plan your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
