10 Must Try Star Wars Experiences at Disney Parks

May 4, 2024 by irving

Celebrating Star Wars Day with Unlocking the Magic

This time around, we’re diving deep into the wonderful world of Star Wars, especially for those who, like me, can’t seem to get enough of the epic universe that George Lucas brought to life. It’s Star Wars Day (May the 4th) and we’re sharing essential experiences every Star Wars fan should aim for at Disney Parks.

The Galactic Appeal of Star Wars at Disney

If you’ve been to Disney Parks, you know the magic that surrounds every corner, especially in areas dedicated to Star Wars. For fans, these aren’t just attractions; they are stepping stones into the universe many of us grew up dreaming about. According to Bruce, re-visiting these experiences is like watching a beloved movie after years—it feels new and exciting all over again. It’s about capturing those intricate details that missed your eye the first time.

The Must-Dos for Every Star Wars Fan

Bruce & Connie shared their top recommendations for a Star Wars-themed visit to Disney Parks. Here’s a rundown:

  1. Star Wars Land (Galaxy’s Edge): Top of the list, naturally. Home to attractions like the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, it’s a must for a fully immersive experience.
  2. Building Your Own Lightsaber: This is an experience that, while pricey ($249!), allows you to leave with a unique piece of Star Wars that you’ve literally built yourself.
  3. Creating Your Own Droid: At a more accessible price point ($119), this activity lets you construct your personal droid from parts picked at the Droid Depot.
  4. Tasting Galactic Snacks: From Ronto Wraps to the famed blue and green milks, the culinary delights at Galaxy’s Edge offer another layer of immersion into the Star Wars world.
  5. Character Encounters: Unlike traditional photo ops, characters roam freely around Galaxy’s Edge, offering spontaneous and memorable interactions.
  6. Jedi Training for Younglings: Kids get to learn lightsaber moves and face off against Dark Side villains, which is adorable to watch.
  7. Nighttime Shows and Entertainment: The parks host special Star Wars-themed nights and events that bring the saga to life with stunning visuals and sounds.
  8. Star Wars Launch Bay: For meeting all your favorite characters from the franchise in one place and diving deeper into the lore with props and exhibits.
  9. Riding Star Tours: The adventure continues with this ride that varies in scenes and storylines, making every trip unique.
  10. Celebrating at Home: Bruce suggests bringing the galaxy to your living room with Star Wars movie marathons, themed dinners, and creative play like making lightsabers from household items.

Wrap Up

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the saga, there’s always something new to explore and enjoy. So next time you’re at Disney or planning a Star Wars Day at home, consider these experiences to enhance your journey through the galaxy!

May the fourth be with you, always!
