This Part of Disneyland Just Got WAY More Crowded

Some BIG changes just came to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland…and we’re surprised by just how popular these changes seem to be.

Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

We’re talking about the melding of timelines in Batuu that now sees some characters (and music) from the Star Wars original trilogy hanging out and meeting with visitors. Yep, you can now see Darth Vader, Imperial Stormtroopers, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. But if you’ll be visiting this land soon, we’ve got to warn you about one thing: crowds.

Yes, the new characters are a very popular addition to Disneyland, and due to that, you’re going to run into some crowds there, like we did. Once we got to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, there were a ton of people hanging around the base of the Millennium Falcon, just hoping to get a glimpse of Luke, Leia, and Han.

Waiting

There were parts of Batuu, though, that still felt pretty normal. Most of the crowds were focused on meeting the new characters in the land.

It wasn’t all bad

Most of the other parts of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge felt pretty busy, though. There were a lot of people visiting the land on a not-so-random Wednesday.

Yes, it’s busy

Let’s just say these characters seem to be a HUGE draw for Disneyland right now. Hey, Chewie!

These characters are popular!

Needless to say, you’ll probably be seeing crowds in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for a while, at least until the “newness” of these characters wears off. So you’ll want to plan for that if you want to visit. To see when characters will be out, make sure you have the Disneyland app…you can check the appearance times for each character in the app. Now, it’s my experience that sometimes those times are more like “suggestions” than rules, but if you wait around, you’ll get to see the characters eventually.

We’ll keep an eye out for more Disneyland news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
