Where is Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Located in Disneyland?

What To Do At Star Wars Galaxy Edge in Disneyland? 

Below is everything you can enjoy in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland as far as attractions.

What Rides are in Star Wars Land? 

• Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

As you can see Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland features two new main attractions: The first of the Galaxy Edge Disneyland rides is the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Star Wars attraction Disneyland, where guests are invited on a thrilling interactive smuggling mission. You can quite literally take control of the fastest ship in the galaxy. This ride gives me similar vibes to Star Tours, so if you enjoyed that one you will definitely love this.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is an experience. This is a must do at Galaxy’s Edge. It’s an extremely immersive battle against the First Order, complete with multiple ride systems unlike anything before at Disneyland. This is very popular, but very worth it. Note: to reduce long lines at Star Wars Galaxy Edge, there may be times when guests will be required to join a virtual queue to experience this attraction. It will not be required every day; however, the virtual queue will be used as needed. After entering the park, you can request to join the virtual queue and will be assigned a boarding group. The virtual queue is not a physical line, so you can enjoy the rest of Galaxy’s Edge California while you’re waiting.

Guests can only join the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance once per day. This policy allows as many people as possible to have the opportunity to experience this amazing new attraction and to keep Disneyland Star Wars lines reasonable.

Dining in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

The new dining options in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge include:

Oga’s Cantina: This local cantina at Disneyland Star Wars Galaxy Edge specializes in fantastical drinks sourced with ingredients from across the galaxy and includes musical entertainment courtesy of a droid DJ. But to order selections with alcohol—like the Jedi Mind Trick cocktail—you will need to show your ID.

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo: Located in Disneyland Galaxy Edge, visitors are invited to fuel up on “galactic grub” at this eatery. This restaurant lives in a working hangar bay and offers dishes prepared with ingredients from across the galaxy—all of it delicious, none of it familiar—including items such as “Batuu-bon” and “Moof Juice.”

Milk Stand: Also located in Star Wars Galaxies Edge Disneyland, this place offers “Batuu’s legendary blue or green milk, served frozen.” According to reports, the backstory involves Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope, in which Luke Skywalker can be seen enjoying blue milk, and green milk in Star Wars: Episode VIII—The Last Jedi. No visit is complete without trying this frosty confection.

Ronto Roasters: This exotic meat stall features a savory grilled sausage and roasted pork wrap. A pitmaster droid turns the mechanical spit, grilling a large side of “ronto”—a massive beast native to the planet Tatooine.

Kat Saka’s Kettle: You can’t miss the “Outpost Mix” here—a sweet, savory snack made with popcorn. The backstory alleges that this joint is “run by the grain merchant Kat Saka and offers customers a unique taste of Batuu.” A true Star Wars experience.
