Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening Dates

Recently the Walt Disney Company announced the opening dates for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Hollywood Studios! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios on August 29 and in Disneyland on May 21. I can’t wait for it to open!

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will be open on August 29 in Hollywood Studios but Rise of the Resistance will not and will open later this year. In Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run you will get to be the pilot of the Millennium Falcon! The height restriction for this ride is 38 inches. When Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opens, the height restriction will be 40 inches.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will also have Star Wars themed restaurants and shopping. There will be five restaurants or food stands, such as Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Kat Saka’s Kettle, Milk Stand (serving blue and green milk!), Oga’s Cantina and Ronto Roasters. There will be multiple shopping areas, such as Droid Depot(where you can build your own droid!), Savi’s Workshop (where you can build your own lightsaber!), Toydarian Toymaker, Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, Creature Stall and Black Spire Outfitters.

So far Disney World has not given a lot of information yet. Stay tuned for more Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge information here at DisneywithIzzy!

Jedi Training

Jedi Training is a Star Wars show at Hollywood Studios that you can be a part of and you even get to wear a Jedi robe! Only kids between the ages of four and twelve are allowed to participate and attempt to complete the Trials of the Temple.

My little brother fought Darth Vader when he was 4!

To complete the Trials of the Temple, you will be trained as a Jedi and then must fight a Sith with a lightsaber. The Jedi Masters instruct you how to use your lightsaber and teach you how to fight the Sith. It’s really fun!

On my last two Disney World trips I had to go against Kylo Ren and last year I had to fight Darth Vader. Kylo Ren was trying to use the force on me to read my mind! It was scary! Once everyone is done dueling you take off your Jedi robes and get a badge. Most recently they gave me a water bottle afterwards, which helps in the summer time. This is a super fun and exciting activity!

Toy Story Mania! Review

Mr. Potato Head greets you on the way in!

What I Like About It

Toy Story Mania! is in Toy Story Land, located in Hollywood Studios. It is a ride where you wear 3D glasses and shoot arrows, rings and other objects at lots of different targets. You sit two people side by side. The one who gets the most points wins. I usually don’t get the most points, but my accuracy is usually better.

What I Don’t Like About It

When the ride is changing from one screen to another, it whips you around. Besides that, this ride is great!

Slinky Dog Dash Ride Review

Height Restriction: Must Be 38 Inches

What I Like About It

Slinky Dog Dash is located in Hollywood Studios in the new Toy Story Land. When you walk into Toy Story Land you feel like a small toy in Andy’s backyard!

Giant Woody at the entrance to Toy Story Land

Slinky Dog Dash is new and opened in June 2018. It is a roller coaster that is located outside. The ride seems like a small kiddie ride but DON’T be fooled. This ride is FAST! Towards the middle of the ride it speeds up. My favorite parts of the ride are when the ride goes up and when there are about five bumps that make the roller coaster bounce up and down.

What I Don’t Like About It

The ride is outside. Roller coasters that are outside scare me. Seeing all the people below me just freaks me out. This is probably why I enjoy Space Mountain so much.

Star Tours Review

Height Restriction: Must Be 40 Inches

What I Like About It

Star Tours is a ride at Hollywood Studios based on Star Wars. You and C3PO have to escape from Darth Vader or the First Order. Oh no! They are looking for the rebel spy on your ship (they flash a picture of a random person on the ride who is the “rebel”). Every time you go on Star Tours it’s different, meaning that if you first saw Darth Vader, the next time your ride you might see the First Order.

What I Don’t Like About It

When the doors open for you to exit, the other doors for the people to get on the ride open too. If you’re getting off the ride, you can feel stressed and rushed, especially if you have had to store your bag underneath the seat and you have to get it out. It will be okay! If you hold up the line, it is not the end of the world.
