Things you need to know before going to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

1) The first thing you need to know is that the Disneyland version of Galaxy’s edge is nearly identical to the Orlando offering with a couple of compressed sections. In other words, the resistance area(compressed), first order area(compressed), the cantina(not compressed), Millennium falcon ride( the same), Rise of the resistance ride( the same but not open until Dec 5, 2019), etc.

2)Food offerings will be exactly the same which have started to appear on the Disney world website. The only tweak is that Docking Bay 7 has a combined lunch & Dinner menu which is not offered in the Disneyland version. Unfortunately, the widely popular solution garden spread is missing from the Disney world version as a result of combining the menus which can change in the future.

3)At this time, which is subject to change based on what happened at the Disneyland opening, you do not need to make a special reservation to visit Galaxy’s Edge. Now, there will be an Annual passholder as well as cast member previews( among others hehehe) before the land officially opens and those are limited and/or with reservations which begin this week and August 17-21 for AP’s. Additionally, for those of you who are staying at the onsite resorts there may be what’s called boarding groups which have a 2 hour window to go in and can stay for as long as you want.

4)Get there early because the early bird catches the worm. Keep in mind that Disney World sees more tourists than Disneyland because they cater primarily to Locals who go there all the time unlike here where you can meet people from all over the world year round. Now from August 29-31, Hollywood studios will be opening at 6am in order to accommodate everyone who is coming for the opening of galaxy’s edge but keep in mind that extra extra magic hours will come in handy for you resort dwellers thru Nov 2.

5)Visit the Cantina as well as building your light saber with Savi workshop first because those two particular attractions will be in high demand like it was in Disneyland. Reservations for those two is as follows: guests are only allowed to make reservations day of which open at 7am and there are no stand bys/walk ups spots so keep that in mind. After that, you can then finish your to do which is consists of Droid building, Millennium falcon, and Dok Ondar.

6)If you want to be a pilot, be one of the first two to board the ship because being the pilot is the best seat in the house guaranteed because you literally feel the ship move as your moving it. If that strategy doesn’t work, you can always try to switch cards with someone in the holding room who doesn’t know about the pilot being the best seat in the house.

7)If you like spending money, keep in mind that a lightsaber is $200, a droid $100, and a beer craft $75.

8)The Food Sucks there( blue and green milk eww yuck) next tip

9)Bad Guys are in the first order area, Good guys in the resistance area.

10)At the black spire outpost remember these sayings Bright Suns= Hello, Til the spire= goodbye, going off world= leaving, for the order= dedication to the order, 1 Galactic credit= 1 U.S. Dollar, the shops use symbols, your iphone can translate those symbols using the Disney app, etc.
