-Reservations are required to enter Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge between May 31 and June 23. Guests visiting during this time will need valid theme park admission and a reservation to enter the new land at Disneyland. There is no cost for a reservation, but the number of reservations is limited. Details on how to make reservations will be available on the Disney Parks Blog and Disneyland.com on May 2 at 8 a.m. PT. Guests must have a Disney Account to register for a reservation, so it is encouraged to create one before registration opens at 10 a.m. PT.
-Guests looking to guarantee a reservation to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge can get one by staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel between May 31 and June 23. Guests staying at one of the three Disneyland Resort hotels between May 31 and June 23 will receive a designated reservation to visit Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge during their stay (one reservation per registered guest; valid theme park admission required). Hotel guests will be notified of their reservation date and time. Guests may book a stay at Disneyland.com/Hotels or call (714) 520-5060.
