Star Wars Experiences at Disney Parks, Cruise Line, and Beyond
Star Wars has always been more than movies. It is a living universe built on beloved characters, epic adventures, and the kind of fandom that never really fades. Now, with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu heading to theaters on May 22, 2026, and a brand-new mission launching the same day on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, there has never been a better time to suit up and explore everything Disney has to offer across a galaxy far, far away.
Whether the plan is to set foot on Batuu or cruise the high seas, here is a breakdown of every Star Wars experience waiting across Disney Parks and beyond.
New Mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
A brand-new mission is about to begin aboard the most famous ship in the galaxy. Starting May 22, riders will join the Mandalorian and Grogu on a bounty-hunting run for the New Republic, with coordinates beamed directly from the cockpit of the Razor Crest.
Hondo has supplied the location of three wanted targets -- two Imperial officers and a pirate -- in exchange for any cargo collected along the way. Flight crews will pilot the Millennium Falcon to Tatooine before chasing bounties across iconic Star Wars locations: the gas-mining city of Cloud City on Bespin, the sprawling city-planet of Coruscant, and the wreckage of the second Death Star orbiting Endor.
The cockpit looks and feels as lived-in as ever, so buckle up and get ready.
Star Wars at Disneyland Resort
Star Wars has called Disneyland home since Star Tours first launched in 1987, and the storytelling has only gotten richer since. Here is what is waiting across the resort right now.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park
Step onto the planet of Batuu and into the story. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland park drops visitors directly into Black Spire Outpost, where every corner holds a new encounter, attraction, or edible adventure worth writing home about.
Attractions, Characters, and Entertainment
Character Encounters: Darth Vader, Imperial Stormtroopers, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, the Mandalorian, Grogu, R2-D2, Rey, and more all make appearances throughout the land.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance: This showstopper of an attraction hides inside the forest beyond Black Spire Outpost. Board a Resistance transport, get captured by a First Order Star Destroyer, and find a way out through a gauntlet of Stormtroopers. It is as epic as it sounds.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run: Take the controls as a pilot, gunner, or engineer aboard the Millennium Falcon. A new mission with the Mandalorian and Grogu kicks off May 22, 2026.
"Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga": A nightly projection show that turns the spires of Batuu into a canvas for the Skywalker saga, complete with an iconic score and sweeping galactic visuals. Gather near the Millennium Falcon for the best view.
"Fire of the Rising Moons": On select nights, the skies above Black Spire Outpost fill with color and music from across the Star Wars universe. Catch it from near the Millennium Falcon, Droid Depot, or Black Spire Surplus -- each spot offers a different angle on the Disneyland fireworks.
Dining at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Disneyland Park
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo: A fully operational hangar bay turned galactic diner. Settle in inside the spacious hangar or grab a seat in the outdoor area surrounded by ancient marketplace walls.
Oga's Cantina: Bounty hunters, smugglers, and weary travelers all land here eventually. Droid DJ R-3X keeps the energy up while guests sip on inventive drinks sourced from across the galaxy.
Ronto Roasters: The smell alone is worth following. Fan favorites like the Ronto Wrap, the Ronto-less Garden Wrap, and the Ronto Morning Wrap are all on the menu.
Milk Stand: Blue milk or pink milk -- both chilled, both delicious.
Kat Saka's Kettle: Grain merchant Kat Saka's stall is the place for specialty popcorn mixes and refreshing drinks with a distinctly Batuu flair.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge on the Disney Wish
For an elevated evening experience, the Hyperspace Lounge on the Disney Wish offers an adults-only cocktail tasting journey inspired by the Star Wars saga.

It is a space-hopping tour unlike anything else on the open seas.
