15 Unique Ways to Celebrate May the 4th in Disney World
There’s a MASSIVE holiday coming up soon.
Celebrate May the 4th at Disney World!
No, we’re not talking about Easter or Earth Day. We’re talking about May the 4th (aka Star Wars Day), and chances are, if you’re a huge Star Wars fan, you celebrate BIG every year. But what if you find yourself at Disney World on May the 4th? Well, we’ve put together a list of unique things you can do to celebrate!
By the way, we might’ve suggested booking a stay on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, but at the moment, May the 4th is all booked up. But we can’t imagine a better way of celebrating Star Wars Day!
Ride Star Tours as Many Times as Possible
Okay, so here’s the thing — you know that Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has multiple ride scenarios, right? Have you seen them all? Even if you have, have you seen them all IN ONE DAY? Well, if you’ve got the time and inclination, you could ride Star Tours over and over until you’ve seen every single scenario!
Ride Star Tours at least 54 times
So how many scenarios are there? Well, there are a total of 54 ride sequences. Are you up for the challenge of riding it until you see all 54? (Tip: you’ll probably want to keep notes on which scenarios you get as you ride).

Make a Lightsaber and Build a Droid
Want to celebrate big? Head on over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and make your own custom lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop! Note that this is not just a thing you do — it’s a whole experience. You’ll use Saber pieces, kyber crystals, and tales of the Force and the Jedi as told by the Gatherers to create a lightsaber that’s JUST FOR YOU.
Yes, it’s a little pricey at $219.99 per lightsaber, but you’ll also have something that’s uniquely you and an experience you’ll never forget.
Showing a Kyber Crystal
You can also build your very own custom Droid at Droid Depot! You have a choice of the droid’s body style to which you can attach various parts to make it your own. Even better? Once you’ve built your droid, you get a remote control to operate it. You can also use your new Droid to interact with other droids AND other things in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
You can build your own droid!
This experience costs $99.99, but you can also choose to upgrade your droid for an additional cost by adding a personality chip, accessories, and more.
Here’s How to Bring ‘Star Wars’ to Your Front Door — Literally!
Get ALL the Star Wars MagicShots
There are a ton of PhotoPass Magic Shots available in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, so be sure to look for Disney photographers and ask to get them all. You can get a shot with Baby Yoda, have a Porg sit on your arm, or get a Super Zoom shot from the Millennium Falcon.

You can even pose with a Kowakian monkey-lizard and get a Tiny World Magic Shot. Most of these shots are available through a PhotoPass photographer, so be sure to seek out every photographer in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Tip: you can find PhotoPass locations on the My Disney Experience app! Just search for “Disney PhotoPass Experience” and then click on “Map” to see ALL the locations where you’ll find a photographer.

Take Photos With EVERY Star Wars Thing at EVERY Park
There are Star Wars references ALL over Disney World — in nearly every park, but can you find them all? Sure, you know about everything you might find in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but don’t forget to snap a photo of the 50th Anniversary statues of R2-D2 and BB-8 at Hollywood Studios.

Ride Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
Okay, so these are no-brainers, but you can’t celebrate May the 4th at Disney World without riding Rise of the Resistance (suggestion: skip the long lines by purchasing Lighting Lane access through Disney Genie). It’s the most technologically-advanced ride that Disney has done TO DATE, and is not to be missed.
We’ve got a bad feeling about this
Likewise, you’ll want to purchase Disney Genie+ to hop on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run faster. If you get a chance, ride it as many times as you can to try to get the highest — AND LOWEST — score!

Visit Oga’s Cantina and Order EVERYTHING
Okay, so this one might require you to bring a group of friends, and you’ll need to nab a reservation at Oga’s Cantina to make it happen (and that isn’t always an easy thing to do). However, if you do manage to snag a reservation, you could try EVERY single drink at Oga’s Cantina because they’re all unique to the bar — you won’t find those drinks anywhere else at Disney World.
Oga’s Cantina
Plus Oga’s Cantina is just SO cool — you really feel like you’ve stepped into a space bar where Han Solo could show up at any given moment. If you don’t happen to drink alcohol, though, don’t worry — Oga’s also has an exclusive selection of non-alcoholic drinks you can try!
Here’s Our Most Recent Review of Oga’s!
Eat at Ronto Roasters and Kat Saka’s
Yes, there are several quick-service spots to choose from in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but Ronto Roasters should ALWAYS make your list. Both the breakfast and lunch/dinner wraps are DELICIOUS, and we won’t lie — they’re probably some of our favorite foods at Disney World!
Ronto Wrap
While you’re at it, go grab some unique popcorn flavors from Kat Saka’s Kettle — this is NOT your typical Disney World popcorn! You’ll definitely want to try the sweet, spicy, and savory Outpost Mix! Also, if you don’t know how to get the secret popcorn mix, you’ll want to read this.

Treat Yourself to Some Skywalker Wine or Olive Oil
George Lucas owns Skywalker Vineyards, and if you’ve never tried Skywalker wine, you have the opportunity to do so at Disney World. Some restaurants, like EPCOT’s Le Cellier, carry the “Disney family of wines,” including Skywalker Vineyards wines, so order up a glass. You can often find bottles of Skywalker wines in gift shops, too, along with Skywalker Olive Oils.

Be sure to whip out your phone and open up the Play Disney Parks app while you’re in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Why? Because you’ll want to use the datapad, which will unlock a TON of interactive activities and features while you’re in the land. So make sure you download the app, turn your Bluetooth on, and open up the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge datapad within the app.
Star Wars Datapad
You’ll soon be able to unlock all kinds of secrets because you’ll use the datapad to translate the Aurebesh you see all over Batuu, as well as take on jobs, hack into tech (including droids!), scan QR codes to find hidden objects, and more!
