Southern
California’s Disneyland
Resort has just released fresh details about the offerings guests can
expect to see during the highly anticipated Season of the Force limited-time
event, coming April 5 through June 2, 2024. The celebration of all things Star
Wars universe will feature new experiences, including attraction overlays, nighttime
spectaculars, character encounters, and themed food, beverages and
merchandise.
All-New Experiences
This year, guests
can look forward to the never-before-seen park productions and experiences,
like the new nighttime spectacular “Fire of the Rising Moons” at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. On select
nights, starting April 5, this unique spectacle will showcase Disneyland’s stunning
fireworks display from a very different vantage point, presented alongside iconic
musical selections from legendary composer John Williams’ Star Wars film
scores.
Also starting April
5, the epic Tomorrowland attraction, Star
Tours – The Adventures Continue, will introduce new elements inspired by
popular Disney+ series, such as “Ahsoka,” “Andor,” and “The Mandalorian.” It
was recently revealed that the planet Seatos will be Star Tours’ newest
destination, but Star Speeder passengers might also encounter urgent
transmissions from newly introduced characters like, Ahsoka Tano, Cassian
Andor, and Din Djarin and Grogu.

Limited-Time Delights
Regardless of
whether you consider yourself a First Order loyalist or a rebel, a devotee of
the dark side or the light, everyone can agree that Star Wars-themed attractions
overlays are a highlight of the Season of the Force.
The fan-favorite
overlay of the high-speed coaster Space Mountain, known as Hyperspace Mountain,
will return to Tomorrowland for a limited time only, maintaining its residency
through June 2. Guests will once again be able to board their rocket-cars and
race through the cosmos, this time dodging laser blasts from some pretty
terrifying TIE fighters and even soaring past a Star Destroyer along the way.

During the Season
of the Force, be on the lookout for the many limited-time food and beverage
offerings, brand-new, limited-edition merchandise and more. Star Wars-themed specialty
treats, snacks and sips are sure to be everywhere you turn, including the Star
Wars sugar cookie. We’ll know more soon, as the full menu will be rolled out
once the Disney Eats: Season of the Force Foodie Guide is released in the
coming weeks.
Other new releases
include a never-before-seen collection of Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
merchandise, which is making its way to both the Disneyland Resort in California
and Walt
Disney World Resort in Florida. You can find it at Tomorrowland’s Star
Trader retail outlet in Disneyland park or the Star Wars Trading Post, located
in Downtown
Disney District.
Select retail
items will also become available online at DisneyStore.com later in the year,
but, if you want to choose your galactic gear from among the full selection,
you’d better come to the parks in person!
