Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Entrances
We’ll start with where you’ll enter and exit Black Spire Outpost from Earth. For opening day (and we expect many days after), the entrance to Galaxy’s Edge will be adjacent to Grand Avenue.

This entrance has been used through the land’s preview period as well. This entrance is closest to the Resistance area of the land and leads to the Marketplace…

…and the land beyond.

During the land’s opening days, the Toy Story Land entrance will be used for guests going “off planet” (that’s Batuu for leaving Galaxy’s Edge to return to Hollywood Studios). This entrance is near Droid Depot (pictured below).

Friendship Boats, which service the Epcot-area Resorts Yacht and Beach Club, BoardWalk Inn and Villas, and the Swan and Dolphin Resorts, will run from 3:30AM on Thursday the 29 and from 4:30AM August 30 through September 28. They’ll be running late into the night (or early into the morning, as the case may be), too.

Virtual Queues and Boarding Groups Are In Effect
When Galaxy’s Edge opened this morning (well, as I’m writing this the land still hasn’t officially reached it’s 6AM opening time…but alas) it quickly filled up and boarding groups went into effect.

When you get into Hollywood Studios, you’ll have the option to (potentially — if they’re not completely sold out) join a boarding group. When the land dips below capacity and your boarding group is called, you’ll have 2 hours to get over there and enter Galaxy’s Edge. After you’re in, you can stay as long as you’d like.
We’ll continue updating you on the boarding groups as we get more information! Stay tuned!
