Disneyland Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and What Changed in 2026

Disneyland Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is inside Disneyland Park in California and opened on May 31, 2019. The land spans more than 14 acres, according to Disney’s April 2026 Fun Facts sheet, and includes two attractions. Its location is the starting point for choosing the right park admission and checking the details that apply to a California visit. For broader coverage of the franchise, see the Star Wars page.

The two attractions listed by Disney are Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Disney also lists Savi’s Workshop, Droid Depot and food and beverage locations within Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, so a visit can involve choices beyond the two rides. The attraction names matter when checking height requirements because each ride has its own minimum.

The land’s 2026 changes happened on separate dates. Disneyland expanded the story represented in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge beginning April 29, while Disney announced May 22 as the start date for the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. If you are comparing information from different points in 2026, use those dates to identify which update an account covers.

Beginning April 29, 2026, Disneyland expanded the story of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to include the Galactic Civil War and New Republic alongside the Resistance and First Order era. Disney described that wider scope in its land fact sheet. The change concerns the stories represented within the existing land, which had opened at Disneyland Park on May 31, 2019. If you visited before the expansion, the date helps you distinguish the earlier setting from Disney’s 2026 description.

Disney also announced May 22, 2026 as the start date for a Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. The mission is an attraction update with its own date, separate from the April expansion of the land’s story. The two developments sit alongside the existing Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction, which Disney continued to list in its April Fun Facts sheet.

The dates provide a useful way to read information about a 2026 visit. An account published before April 29 could describe the land before the broader story took effect, while an account published before May 22 could predate the announced mission start. Check current Disneyland attraction information when planning, particularly if the mission is central to your visit.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has two attractions listed in Disney’s April 28, 2026 Fun Facts sheet: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. The mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu belongs to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, so it is an update to that attraction. Disney announced May 22, 2026 as the mission’s start date. Use the full attraction names when checking details for a visit.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run requires riders to be at least 38 inches tall, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance requires riders to be at least 40 inches tall. Those separate minimums matter for a family planning to visit both attractions. Someone who meets the first requirement may still fall short of the second, so check each rider against each attraction’s stated minimum before setting expectations.

Disney’s land also includes experiences and venues that sit outside the two attraction count. Savi’s Workshop offers a lightsaber experience, Droid Depot offers an astromech droid experience, and Oga’s Cantina is a food and beverage venue. Each has its own practical considerations, including price, reservations or availability. Start with the two attraction requirements, then check the other experiences that interest your party.

The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu was announced to begin on May 22, 2026. It is the specific attraction update associated with the later of the two main Galaxy’s Edge dates in this guide. Disneyland’s expansion of the land’s story began on April 29, nearly a month before the announced mission start. Keeping those dates separate helps when comparing accounts of the land during spring 2026.

The mission is part of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, one of the two attractions listed in Disney’s April 28 Fun Facts sheet. The other listed attraction is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. If a description mentions the Mandalorian and Grogu mission, use the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run name to find its attraction information and the rules that apply to it.

Disneyland states that riders on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run must be at least 38 inches tall. That requirement applies to the attraction information checked for this guide and is a useful first check for families considering the mission. Check Disneyland’s current attraction page before your visit for the latest details, and allow for the possibility that operating information may change after the November 9, 2026 check.

An August 9, 2026 planDisney answer said Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was included with a standard one park per day Disneyland Park ticket and required a Disneyland Park reservation. The answer applies to the land inside Disneyland Park in California. Before buying admission, check Disneyland’s current ticket and reservation rules for the date you plan to visit, because the cited answer reflects guidance given in August 2026.

Entry to the land is a separate question from the price of an optional experience inside it. As checked on November 9, 2026, Savi’s Workshop listed $249.99 per lightsaber plus tax, and Droid Depot listed $119.99 per astromech droid plus tax. Those figures help with a budget for either activity, but they do not change the admission guidance given by planDisney. Check current experience prices before making plans around either purchase.

Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite also has its own event dates. Disney announced four dates in 2026: April 28, April 30, May 4 and May 6. Those dates had passed by the November 9 check, so the announcement should not be treated as a schedule for a later visit. Confirm any current event dates and admission arrangements directly with Disneyland before purchasing.

Savi’s Workshop offers a lightsaber experience, and Droid Depot offers an astromech droid experience at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Disney’s April 28, 2026 Fun Facts sheet describes more than 120,000 possible lightsaber combinations using the available Savi’s Workshop pieces. The same sheet describes nearly 280,000 possible combinations for an R-series or prototype BB-series droid using Droid Depot pieces. These figures describe possible combinations, so check the current offering when deciding which experience interests you.

As checked on November 9, 2026, the reservable Savi’s Workshop experience cost $249.99 per lightsaber plus tax. Disneyland accepted reservations up to 60 days ahead and required cancellation at least one day beforehand to avoid the full per builder charge. Disney’s land fact sheet recommends advance reservations for Savi’s Workshop. If you want to include the experience, check the current price and cancellation terms when arranging your visit.

Droid Depot listed a price of $119.99 per astromech droid plus tax as checked on November 9, 2026. Disney’s land fact sheet says walkups are welcome at Droid Depot and reservations are not required. The two experiences therefore have different arrangements in the cited guidance, as well as different prices. Check the latest Disneyland information before choosing a time or setting your budget.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge included five food and beverage locations in Disney’s April 2026 fact sheet, including Oga’s Cantina. The count describes food and beverage locations across the land, while the information checked for this guide gives a specific entry arrangement for Oga’s Cantina. Check the current details for any venue you want to visit, since one location’s arrangements should not be assumed to apply across the land.

As checked on November 9, 2026, Disneyland’s Oga’s Cantina page said the venue used walkup availability with a traditional standby queue and no longer offered reservations. That gives visitors a specific starting point for planning an Oga’s Cantina stop. Availability can matter on the day, so check the venue’s current information close to your visit and leave room in your plans for its stated entry arrangement.

The April location count and the November Oga’s Cantina check answer different planning questions. One tells you how many food and beverage locations Disney listed in its fact sheet, while the other describes the arrangement at one named venue. Neither establishes current menus or prices for every location. Look up the current details for the venue you choose before relying on an older description of its food, drinks or entry policy.

Disney announced Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite dates for April 28, April 30, May 4 and May 6, 2026. All four dates had passed by this article’s November 9, 2026 check. The event dates help place spring coverage in context alongside the changes to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Check Disneyland for any current event schedule before planning a visit around a later date.

Disneyland began expanding the story of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on April 29, 2026, between the first two announced Star Wars Nite dates. The expanded story included the Galactic Civil War and New Republic alongside the Resistance and First Order era. The event dates and the start of that land update answer different questions, so use the date in a report to identify which announcement it discusses.

Disney announced May 22, 2026 as the start date for the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. That date came after all four announced 2026 Star Wars Nite dates. For more about the franchise behind the land, visit Star Wars.
