Inside Star Wars Land: First Look at Disney\u2019s Galaxy\u2019s Edge

Disney is traveling to a galaxy far, far away.

The famed theme park giant’s much-anticipated 14-acre Star Wars Land: Galaxy’s Edge attractions premiere May 31 and Aug. 29 at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and DisneyWorld in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., respectively.

With Disneyland set to lift the hatches first, on Friday, there’s a host of top-secret attractions franchise fans can’t wait to see. Here are five sneak peeks:

1. You can drink blue (and green) milk.

Fans have long wanted to try the alleged rich, sweet Bantha milk that Luke Skywalker chugged on Tatooine, as well as the green variety from “The Last Jedi.” The Milk Stand will have both versions, and lactose intolerants and vegans can rejoice — they are plant based and non-dairy. Guests can also head over to Oga’s Cantina for a third variety which incorporates cookies.

2. Speaking of Oga’s Cantina …

3. Get ready to learn a new language.

The 14-acre park is cast as the Black Spire Outpost in Batuu, on the outer rim of the galaxy, just before wild space.

Thus, all cast members will all confer in Batuuese, which luckily is a lot like English with a bit of a poetic twist. So, good morning is “Bright Suns” and good evening is “Rising Moons.” You get the gist.

Expect them to ask if you are loyal to the First Order, or a rebel with the resistance. Their resulting reply will likely depend whether you are in pro-Empire or renegade territory within the land.

4. It’s all about the app.

The Disney Play app will unlock all sorts of Easter eggs throughout the park as well as allow interaction with droids, translate Aurebesh (check out the cool Coca-Cola cans labelled in the intergalactic language) and scan cargo crates.

5. There’s only one ride, for now.

The Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run puts you and a small group of other parkgoers into the helm of the hunk of junk for a simulated smuggling mission. You’ll each be assigned various tasks (pilot, gunner, etc.) with myriad outcomes for the ride depending on your choices.

What to know before you go

Opening day at Disneyland: While the park officially opens May 31, only guests with reservations will be allowed in until July 23. These coveted spots are available to those staying at Disneyland hotels, plus a few were released by lottery and snatched up like hot porgs on a stick. You might get lucky, but realistically, right now your chances of a reservation at one of the four hotels are slim.

The land opens fully June 23: When that date rolls around you might need to crack out the camping gear to get into the park — full capacity is expected. Entrance to Galaxy’s Edge is not guaranteed and will be limited to four hours. Luckily, guests will queue virtually via a paging system through the app, so they will be able to enjoy the parks while waiting for the call.

There will be no fast passes for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run: Expect several hours (at best) in line. There will be drinks and snacks available up and down the rows and there’s a handoff service for the necessary bathroom breaks. (Are we having fun yet?) The app and the pre-ride queue is promising all-out entertainment and distractions, but bring your patience.

Next up in the fall: Galaxy’s Edge is also opening Aug. 29 in Florida’s DisneyWorld, which should help spread the wealth, though Disney is not yet saying whether this will have a staggered opening. A second ride, Rise of the Resistance, comes to both parks later this year for a fresh wave of intake.

Customer service hotline: For help pricing and booking your visit, call 407-939-5277 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Guests under 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.
