When is Star Wars opening at Disneyland? It seems like the answer is July, but it depends on how the park’s Phased Opening works. The blockout calendar for the Annual Pass season suggests June, but there are also rumors of a media event confirming an early July opening. We’ll update this story as more details emerge. However, one thing is for certain: you can’t miss it!

Rise of the Resistance

When visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you may be wondering when the best time to ride Rise of the Resistance is. The answer to this question is very different depending on the time of day. On low and medium-crowd days, Rise of the Resistance sells out around noon and before 10am, but it can also be crowded prior to that time. To avoid a long wait, consider arriving early to the park. The lines can get long, especially if you don’t rope drop.

The new Star Wars attraction is one of the most technologically advanced and ambitious of any theme park attraction. It involves an intense battle with the First Order. Guests board a transport shuttle and launch into space. During this mission, they are captured by a First Order starship and chased by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, an omnipresent force in the world of Star Wars. The ride is highly immersive, with many elements and moving parts.

Galaxy’s Edge

With Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening at Disneyland, it’s easy to see why the attraction has been on everyone’s bucket list for the past few years. Inspired by exotic markets in Marrakech and Istanbul, Imagineer Chris Beatty’s design features shops and merchant stalls that look like those seen in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Fans can also buy toys and collectibles that feature the iconic character, the droid, Toydarian.

One major change to the park will be the elimination of reservations for this new attraction. Before this attraction opens, guests can make reservations for a minimum of four hours. The wait times for the new attraction will still be very long and lines will be long, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Make reservations up to 60 days in advance to avoid disappointment. In addition, if you have a reservation for dining at any of the Disneyland Resort hotels, you’ll get a guaranteed spot for Galaxy’s Edge.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The 14-acre Star Wars Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened on August 29, 2019. Guests can tour the village of Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, or take a planet excursion to Batuu. Two new attractions and five restaurants make up the new land. Guests can also meet some of their favorite characters, or join a spontaneous meet-and-greet.

The new land will be open to the public on March 1, 2022. The California version of the attraction opened in the spring of 2018. In Orlando, the Galaxy’s Edge will be open at 4:30 a.m., an hour before its original six a.m. opening time. Early birds had an early opportunity to reserve a spot, but now many dates have sold out. If you’re planning on visiting the park on opening day, it’s worth waking up early and checking out this new adventure.

Cost

The cost of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is estimated to be $1 billion. Imagineers came up with the idea on a table shaped like a Star Destroyer in 2015. It was a huge secret, and Disney did not want to reveal it too early. Instead, executives solicited the input of 5,500 trade workers, artisans, and construction workers. They decided to keep the cost low while keeping the excitement of the new ride high.

The Galactic Starcruiser is an immersive experience, and the price for a family of four will run $6,000 per night. The prices include meals, entertainment, and lodging. However, there are other, cheaper options. A family of four will pay about $6,000 for two nights at the immersive Orlando, Fla.-based Star Wars hotel. But these prices are not cheap. Disney rarely lowers prices, and if you’re not planning a trip just yet, make sure to check out these budget-friendly options.

Wait times

With the recent opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests can expect lengthy wait times. Even before the new land opened, early reports suggested that some attractions would have six-hour wait times. But in general, wait times at Disney attractions are much shorter than they were during the previous year’s soft opening. It is difficult to gauge the impact of a new attraction on existing wait times, but these figures provide a general idea of what to expect.

The best time to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is around 11 am. Although the posted wait time will still be in the triple digits, the wait times are lower. That’s because many park-goers are leaving for lunch. During lunchtime, there are fewer people waiting, so wait times will decrease. This is the optimal time to ride if you’re staying late at the park.
