Disney just brought brand new experiences to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Which are you most excited about?
May the 4th
Many Star Wars fans enjoy celebrating “May the 4th” as the unofficial Star Wars Day. Around the Disney Parks, Disney offers many great offerings with special merchandise, delicious treats, and this year a brand new Grogu sipper available for a limited time.
Guests can also meet many of their favorite Star Wars characters this month. Be sure to check out the entire lineup of new characters HERE. If you find yourself at home this May the 4th, Disney also has a fun experience for you.
Simply visit Disney PhotoPass Lenses on the My Disney Experience app. You can design your Mandalorian beskar armor.
This special experience is available for everyone from May 4 through May 11. Starting May 12, this will be available exclusively to Annual Passholders or those purchasing Disney Genie+ service.
New Experience at Galaxy’s Edge
At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests can only enjoy a few brand-new experiences for a limited time. Disney has an amazing way of delivering unique experiences for a limited time. This is what keeps guests visiting the parks time and time again.
Although you can meet BB-8 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can also pose with him for a MagicShot around Black Spire Outpost. This is a fun experience and should make for a great souvenir of your day.
“Created more than a thousand years ago by Tarre Vizsla (the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi Knight), the Darksaber is an ancient weapon with a long and legendary history. It has been wielded by many beings over the years, and now it’s your turn.”
Guests can have a photo taken wielding the Darksaber after dark across from Oga’s Cantina. This is an ultra-rare experience that you do not want to miss.
This is the droid that we have been looking for. Never underestimate droids, especially those that beep in the face of danger.
Be sure to capture a scan with this droid companion before setting out on your next adventure. BD-1 is ready for his closeup with this fun MagicShot.
These special MagicShots will only be available on May the 4th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios except for the Disney PhotoPass lens shot.
Finally, guests can pose with a great, new holopuck MagicShot. With the special MagicBand+ guests can explore Galaxy’s Edge like never before as a Bounty Hunter.
Now, a PhotoPass photographer can help reveal your next target. This little guy looks pretty familiar. Be sure to be on the lookout for him over in the Marketplace.
These special MagicShots will only be available on May the 4th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios except for the Disney PhotoPass lens shot.
