Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

opened at Disneyland a few weeks ago, and we were galactically excited to try ALL of the new food — like the Ronto Wrap and Blue Milk. We piloted Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and built our very own droid at Droid Depot.

Now, we are turning our attention to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, which will open on August 29th. But friends, Disney just announced something HUGE for select Disney World Annual Passholders!

Disney has revealed that “Platinum, Platinum Plus, and Premier Annual Passholders will be among the first to experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with special preview opportunities planned before the land’s opening on Aug. 29.”

This is a MAJOR deal since the crowds at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are expected to be massive. This will give select Annual Passholders the opportunity not only to see the land before everyone else, but they will likely be able to do so with shorter waits and fewer people.

But be forewarned: capacity is LIMITED and these reservations will only be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Disney has also announced that information and registration details will be shared at a later date. So: be on the lookout for updates!

We did get a piece of interesting information from a reader. She recently had a call with Disney World and they let her know that in order to access the Galaxy Edge Passholder Preview, she must activate her pass prior to the preview week. This is only one reader’s experience, so make sure to do your own research to know for sure.

Are you as pumped as we are to travel to a galaxy far, far away at Walt Disney World? Let us know in the comments below!
