Walt Disney World News

• We’ll start off with the big detail that everyone wants to know. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be opening in two phases at each park. Phase one will include the debut of the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction as well as select food & beverage and merchandise locations. Phase one opening will take place on May 31, 2019 at Disneyland® Park in California and on Aug. 29, 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® at Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida. Phase two opening will take place later in 2019 and will debut the rest of the land and the attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
• When you visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll be transported to the Planet of Batuu, a far-flung destination along the galaxy’s Outer Rim. Batuu is home to Black Spire Outpost, an infamous port for smugglers, traders and adventurers.

• Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – climb into the cockpit of “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” and take control of the Falcon as you assume one of three unique and critical roles of the ship – pilot, gunner, or flight engineer. Both thrilling and interactive, the smuggling mission kicks off on May 31, 2019 at Disneyland® Park and on Aug. 29, 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. Guests must be 38″ (97 cm) or taller.
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – places you in the middle of an epic battle between the Resistance and the First Order. The fight against the First Order is just part of your journey inside a full-size starship and aboard a nearby Star Destroyer. Your chance to join the Resistance will come later in 2019! Guests must be 40″ (102 cm) or taller.

For more than four decades,  we’ve all been wondering what does Blue Milk actually taste like? That question and more will soon be answered thanks to an expansive array of food and beverage offerings that will be available at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

• Kat Saka’s Kettle – home of the Outpost mix, a unique popcorn snack with a combination of sweet, savory and spicy flavors.
• Oga’s Cantina – visitors of all ages will enjoy exotic beverages served in unique vessels while listening to spirited musical entertainment provided by the cantina’s DJ R-3X, otherwise known as Rex. You may remember Rex as the former Starspeeder 3000 pilot droid from the original Star Tours attraction. Rumor is that he’s as quirky and talkative as ever!
• Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo – is a designated location for traveling food shuttles on Batuu and the place to head to fuel up galactic favorites. Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs is in much demand for his culinary skills, so his travels across the galaxy in a mobile kitchen allow him to fill his pantry with exotic ingredients used to make new and unusual dishes.
• Ronto Roasters – this location’s large recycled podracing engine fires up a barbecue pit for mouth-watering exotic meats. In addition to the tasty Ronto fare, a variety of exotic non-alcoholic drinks like the Sour Sarlacc or Tatooine Sunset will be available.
• Milk Stand – will offer two favorites of the locals direct from Bubo Wamba Family Farms – Blue Milk (as seen in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope”) and Green Milk (as seen in“Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.”).
• Be on the lookout for specially designed Coca-Cola bottles that are being made specifically for and are only available for purchase on Batuu.

Reservations will not be accepted for any of the food and beverage offerings in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Food is just one of discoveries you’ll find while wandering the lively market of Black Spire Outpost. You’ll also find a robust collection of merchant shops and stalls filled with authentic Star Wars creations.

• Droid Depot – step into Mubo’s workshop and construct your own astromech droid to take back with you to your home planet. Picking pieces and parts off of a conveyor belt,  you’ll build one of two core models (R-series or BB-series) that will interact with various elements throughout Batuu. Further customize your droid by adding additional programming chips. The Droid Depot will also offer pre-built droids, droid-inspired products and more.
• Savi’s Workshop ~ Handbuilt Lightsabers – customize and craft your very own lightsaber with some help from the Gatherers. These workshop Masters not only guide you in building your unique lightsaber, but they’ll also instruct you on the ways of the Jedi.
• Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities – find a selection of rare and uniquely-valued items for sale representing different eras of the Star Wars galaxy.
• First Order Cargo –  step into a temporary First Order storage dock and pledge your loyalty by purchasing pins, caps, gear, model ships and more.
• Resistance Supply – manned by Resistance members and local sympathizers, this makeshift stall supplies Resistance uniforms, pins, badges, hats, helmets, jackets, maps, tools, training supplies, food rations and other items.
• Black Spire Outpost – market featuring several stalls selling a variety of items:
  • Creature Stall – interesting critters that you can take home with you
  • Black Spire Outfitters – clothing
  • Toydarian Toymaker – toys
  • The Jewels of Bith – accessories and other trinkets to treasure
