Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is set to open in both parks sooner than previously announced. It will open at Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida on August 29th, 2019. And it will open at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California on May 31st, 2019. This was announced during Disney’s annual shareholder meeting in St Louis, MO by CEO Bob Iger.
However, this decision comes with a trade-off. It will only be opening one of its two marquee attractions this early. Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run will be ready on opening day. This ride lets fans go in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. But the second marquee attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which is a much longer ride, won’t open until later in 2019.
It has been announced that the park will require a separate, no-cost reservation. A post on Disney Parks blog elaborates:
The Nerd Stash has been following announcements of this theme park and will continue to bring you more details as they are revealed.
