Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opened at Disneyland Resort This Week In 2019
What a year it’s been Disney friends! It is so incredible to think that with everything going on here on Earth that last year at this time we were blasting off to a galaxy far, far away at Disneyland Resort.
That’s right. 52 weeks ago, the theme park was readying for the dedication ceremony of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge after over 10 years of collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm. This dazzling new land officially opened to the public on May 31, 2019.
The opening ceremony of Galaxy’s Edge was a momentous occasion as many Star Wars icons showed up including George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams.
Though there currently aren’t any flights available to Batuu just now, once re-opened, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the perfect playground to live out your own Star Wars adventures in a galaxy far, far away.
Guests can start by taking control of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
You can also join a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance in the incredible Rise of the Resistance attraction. This ride is being hailed by theme park enthusiasts as one of the best in the world and opened to guests on January 17, 2020.
But Galaxy’s Edge is about so much more than just the rides. While exploring this 14-acre land you’ll encounter Black Spire outpost, a bustling marketplace on the edge of the galaxy where you’ll find galactic food and drink, eclectic merchant shops, alien inhabitants and the occasional droid.
