This ceremony, which took place at 10:00 AM this morning, was led by Bob Chapek and a few Star Wars characters. Bob Chapek shared a few words about the creation of Galaxy’s Edge and the immense amount of storytelling involved in the process. He also thanked Disney Imagineers for their hard work.

Guests will enter through one of the two entrances. One is located inside Toy Story Land and the other is located near Star Tours and Muppet*Vision 3D.

Once inside, guests can head to dining locations and merchandise shops, or they can hop in line to ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
The dining locations include Oga’s Cantina (which could possibly be full due to reservations), Ronto Roasters, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Kat Saka’s Kettle, and the Milk Stand.

Merchandise shops can be found throughout the land, but many of them are found in the land’s marketplace. The land has many different types of shops from Dok-Ondars Den of Antiquities to Resistance Supply.
Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities
Pieces of merchandise to be on the lookout for include Galaxy’s Edge metal gift cards and Kyber Crystals! Both of these sold out QUICKLY at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland.

A few other unique places that you may want to check out are Savi’s Workshop and Droid Depot — which are also taking reservations!!
Savi’s Workshop gives guests the opportunity to build their very own lightsaber. The four themed lightsaber building options include Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, and Protection and Defense. And though this experience is SUPER COOL and UNIQUE, you will have to pay $199 before entering.

Droid Depot will give you the opportunity to customize and build your very own droid friend!! We had SO much fun building our droid friend, which we named Fred.
