Bright Suns to you, Lori, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for submitting your question to us and I hear that you'll be visiting a galaxy far, far, away very soon! How exciting! I hope you've brushed up on your Aurebesh because we'll be headed to the Outer Rim of the galaxy when we visit Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
With the limited amount of time you have on-planet, it would be my honor to help you. First, let's talk about
Lightning Lanes. These special queues will take you nearly to the front of the line and bypass a majority of the standby queue. You can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass (access to multiple participating attractions, including Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run) or Lightning Lane Single Pass (access Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance only) in the
Disneyland Mobile App as soon as you enter the Park.
I would recommend prioritizing Rise of the Resistance during your time on Batuu because wait times are generally longer for this attraction. Over at Smugglers Run, there is a
Single Rider Line option which you can use in a pinch to get you on the attraction really fast.
Here are some additional recommendations for spending your time in Batuu. As a special treat, at 9:30 p.m. on October 27, 2024,
Fire of the Rising Moons will be shown in the skies above Black Spire Outpost. Imagine the majesty of a Disneyland Park fireworks spectacular coupled with John Williams' stirring music!
A
MagicBand+ can really enhance your experience on Batuu. Download the
Play Disney Parks App and you'll be drawn into the Star Wars Universe around you. You can even participate in
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters, a fun scavenger hunt game where you're tasked with tracking down bounties hiding throughout the Outpost! I'm proud to report that
I've achieved some renown within the Guild.
Don't forget to refuel at
Oga's Cantina or
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. The Cold Brew Black Caf at Docking Bay 7 is on many Guests' favorites list. My son makes it a point to also stop at the
Milk Stand for his Blue Milk.
Lori, I hope that this gave you some ideas of what to expect. I love just being there, soaking up the atmosphere, and feeling like I'm part of the Star Wars Universe. Spend long enough out there and you might even see some of your favorite characters casually strolling by! If you have any other questions, please write to us again (even though we like to call ourselves Jedis, the other panelists and I haven't yet mastered reading minds).
May the Force Be With You!
