Are you ready? It’s officially less than a month until Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens at Disneyland on May 31! Guests planning to visit Disneyland between May 31 and June 23, 2019, hoping to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will need a reservation. Read on to get Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservation information.
Disneyland Resort Guests
The easiest way to guarantee a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservation is to stay at a Disneyland resort hotel. If you have a reservation at any of the three Disneyland resort hotels (Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, the Disneyland Hotel or Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel) during the “reservations required” window of May 31 – June 23, you will automatically receive a reservation for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during your visit.
In fact, you should have already received your designated reservation confirmation if you have a reservation at a Disneyland resort hotel during May 31-June 23, 2019. Your designated reservation confirmation shows your scheduled date and time window for your Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge visit. If you have not yet received your Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservation confirmation, please call 888-854-3104.
If you DON’T yet have a reservation at a Disneyland resort, and would like to guarantee a reservation to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it’s not too late! You can still book a stay at one of the three Disneyland hotels for any night(s) between May 31 and June 23, 2019. If you do, you’ll receive a designated reservation for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for each registered guest in your party. Email brooke@disneycastledreaming.com for more information. I would love to help you visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Disneyland Visitors
Guests planning to visit Disneyland between May 31 and June 23, 2019 that wish to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will need to make a reservation for their visit.
There is no cost for the reservation. Theme park admission to Disneyland is required to access Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Reservations will open on May 2, 2019 at 10 am Pacific Time. Disney is releasing “how to book” information at 8 am Pacific Time on May 2. I will post an update here as soon as “how-to” reservation information is available.
Disney put together this quick “Know Before You Go” video.
What You Will Need To Make a Reservation
While we don’t have exact “how to make a reservation” specifics yet, we do know a few things that you’ll need before you make your reservation.
-
- Make sure you have your Disney ID account set up at Disneyland.com. If you don’t have one, set it up NOW so you are ready to go when the reservation window opens.
- If you already have an ID for Walt Disney World’s My Disney Experience, you will be able to login at Disneyland.com with that ID. Double check to make sure!
- You will be making your reservation using your DisneyID, so it’s critical that you know what it is and that it works.
- Be prepared and ready to go at 10 am Pacific Time on May 2. Disney is anticipating the reservation “windows” filling up fast.
- Make a list of a few different dates that will work for you. If your first choice isn’t available, you don’t want to have to scramble for the calendar to figure out your second (or third) choices.
- Once you have confirmed your reservation for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you will NOT be able to change it.
- You can make ONLY ONE reservation for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge per email address (Disney ID at Disneyland.com).
- You’ll be able to add up to five additional guests to your Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservation.
- You will only be able to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ONCE during your visit with your Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservation. You’ll only be able to make one reservation for the entirety of the period of May 31 – June 23 with your DisneyID email. After the reservations required period ends, you will theoretically be able to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge every day, assuming new rules aren’t released, and crowd volumes don’t restrict admittance to the Land.
- Make sure you have your Disney ID account set up at Disneyland.com. If you don’t have one, set it up NOW so you are ready to go when the reservation window opens.
Visiting Later in the Year
What if you are NOT visiting Disneyland between May 31 and June 23, 2019? If you ARE planning to visit later this year, and want to be sure you’ll get access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, what should you do?
At this time, Disney states that no reservations are required to enter Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge after June 23, 2019. However, they are also saying that access to the land will be limited, and guests will not be guaranteed access. Admittance may be restricted, based on crowd volumes.
What if you plan to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios after it opens August 29, 201? Disney says no reservations required for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Florida. Of course that will be subject to change after Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening weeks.
It is possible that Disney may elect to extend the reservation window into future periods. It is also possible that Disney may use a Fast Pass/Max Pass type reservation to “schedule” access to the Land. Finally, it may just be a free for all. In that scenario, I suspect after a certain number of guests are admitted, no additional guests will be admitted until some guests exit the Land. We just don’t know yet.
Don’t Forget: May 2, 10 am PST Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Reservation Window Opens
I will keep you posted as soon as I know more. In the meantime, make sure you have your Disneyland DisneyID set up at Disneyland.com. Be ready to go tomorrow (May 2) morning if you intend to make Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservations for May 31 – June 23, 2019.
Happy Dreaming!
