Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland — Everything You Need to Know Before You Go

Galaxy's Edge is the most immersive themed environment Disney has ever built at Disneyland Resort. Fourteen acres of the planet Batuu, detailed down to the weathered texture on cargo crates and the alien language on storefront signs. The Millennium Falcon sitting in a landing bay. Cast members who stay in character. Two rides that represent some of Disney's most ambitious attraction engineering.

Most guests spend 90 minutes in Galaxy's Edge racing through the rides and leaving. The guests who have the best time slow down, look at everything, and understand what they're walking through before they get there.

Where Galaxy's Edge is at Disneyland

Galaxy's Edge sits at the back end of Disneyland Park, accessible from Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Bayou Country. The land doesn't have a single obvious entrance — guests typically flow in from one of these three directions depending on where they are in the park.

The 14-acre land is larger than it feels from a single vantage point. The first-time experience of walking around the Millennium Falcon and seeing it from different angles surprises guests who didn't realize how substantial the structure is.

The two rides

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (40-inch height requirement) is the centerpiece attraction — a 20-minute narrative experience that moves through multiple rooms, multiple ride vehicles, and a story that puts guests inside the middle of a Star Wars film. Access is through Lightning Lane Single Pass, purchased through the Disneyland app after entering the park. Return windows sell out early on busy days.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (38-inch height requirement) was updated in May 2026 with a Mandalorian retheme — guests now fly for the Mandalorian and Grogu on missions to Tatooine, Cloud City, or Coruscant. The cockpit seats six: two pilots, two gunners, two engineers. The single-rider line is one of the best fast-access options at the resort.

What else is in Galaxy's Edge

Oga's Cantina is the bar inside Galaxy's Edge — a walk-up drinking experience serving specialty cocktails, mocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks in an alien dive bar setting. DJ R3X spins music over the bar. Worth doing at least once.

Savi's Workshop is a lightsaber building experience. Cost: $249.99 per saber. Reservations required — book through the Disneyland app at 60 days.

Droid Depot is a droid-building experience — guests assemble a custom R-series or BB-series droid. Cost: $119.99 base.

The Ronto Roasters Ronto Wrap — roasted pork and grilled sausage in a flatbread cooked on a vertical spit heated by an old pod-racing engine — is the food standout.

How to actually experience Galaxy's Edge

Before your visit: Know the basics of the land's story. You're on the planet Batuu, an outpost at the edge of the Outer Rim. The First Order has arrived. The Resistance is operating undercover. Cast members are in character and will respond to guests who engage with the fiction.

Give it time. The guests who experience Galaxy's Edge most fully spend two to three hours there across a full day, not 60 minutes. Ride Rise of the Resistance, go back for the Millennium Falcon later, eat at Docking Bay 7, wander the market, visit the Cantina.

Come back at night. Galaxy's Edge in the evening — when the blue-purple ambient lighting shifts and the structures glow against the dark sky — is a different visual experience from the daytime version.

Morning strategy for Galaxy's Edge

Open the Disneyland app immediately upon entry and buy your Rise Single Pass before anything else — return windows go fast. For Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, the single-rider line is the smart move throughout the day.
