This is How Disneyland Paris Is Celebrating Star Wars Day on May 4th!
May 4th is right around the corner, and we all know what that means. It’s Star Wars Day!
Every year, Star Wars fans around the galaxy commemorate this special date by filling it with all things to do with this phenomenal franchise.
And, one place which is renowned for taking the celebrations to the next level is the one and only Disneyland Paris!
Whether you’re a Sith, a Jedi, or anything in-between, Disneyland Paris welcomes all on May 4th for an out-of-this-world celebration of all things Star Wars. From exclusive treats to unique experiences and more, there is so much to see, do, and enjoy across the resort.
So, grab your lightsaber, your droid, and anything else you need for intergalactic travel, and let’s see what the resort are planning for Star Wars day this year!
The Opportunity for Guests to Dress-Up
Arguably one of the most exciting parts of May 4th is that it is one of the only days in the Disneyland Paris calendar where guests are permitted to enter the parks in costume!
To commemorate the high fashions of the franchise, guests are invited to visit the parks dressed in tribute to their favorite Star Wars characters – a fantastic opportunity that is only permitted on this special day.
Although the usual dress code regulations are lifted for May 4th only, Disneyland Paris have specified that guests over 12 years old are still prohibited from wearing any outfit or mask which completely covers the face, for safety reasons.
To make the dressing-up even more fun, unique, Star Wars-inspired photo opportunities will also be offered across the resort, including a Magic Shot with the adorable Grogu!
We can’t wait to see some of the costumes, cosplay, and Disney-bounding that goes on in the parks this Wednesday!
Exclusive Themed Snacks and Treats
Like all good Disney park events, Star Wars Day will see the release of some fun, limited-edition snacks across Disneyland Paris!
Café Hyperion, Hyperion Cart and Cooling Station will each offer exclusive treats, all of which themed to Star Wars icons. We’ve already seen a sneak peek of the Boba Fett shortbread and, if previous celebrations are anything to go by, we might see the return of the BB-8 Burger, too! We can’t wait to find out…
Unique Character Meet & Greets
Special guests from all across the Galaxy have traveled to Disneyland Paris to celebrate May 4th! Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Boba Fett will all be there to greet guests, take selfies, and probably encourage you to join the light/dark sides!
Plus, May 4th will see the temporary return of the intimidating “First Order March,” where Captain Phasma herself will lead a battalion of Storm Troopers through the park. You’d better be on your best behavior to avoid interrogation!
Special Activities & Experiences
As well as all these fun experiences, guests can of course enjoy all the usual Star Wars-themed activities across the Disneyland Paris resort as part of this special day.
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain are both waiting to be explored in Discoveryland, and the dazzling Disney Illuminations will light the sky with its Star Wars-inspired sequence come nightfall.
Star Wars Day is always a special occasion across all the Disney parks and resorts, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you once May 4th arrives.
