*Disney graciously provided us with tickets to Disney World (and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World). All opinions and thoughts are my own<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love all things Star Wars, then Hollywood Studios is the park for you! In addition to Star Tours and Star Wars Launch Bay, this park has added an entire Star Wars-themed land – Galaxy’s Edge. Even if you are not the world’s biggest Star Wars fan, you will probably still enjoy Galaxy’s Edge. I love it here, and so does my whole family. So, what do you need to know? Read on, my friend…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. You might want to make a sandwich or grab a cup of coffee. We have a lot of ground to cover and I took 8 million pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I get there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, all you have to do is head to Disney World in Florida. Then, make your way to Hollywood Studios. Once in the park, walk to the back of the park. Head left (from the front of HS) and you can find the entrance of Galaxy’s Edge right past Muppets Vision 3D on Grand Avenue. If you go right (again, from the front of HS), you’ll find the entrance right after you pass Alien Swirl Saucers in Toy Story Land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you download the My Disney Experience APP, you can find a map of Hollywood Studios (see screenshot below). Here, you can see a map of the whole park and the two entrances to Galaxy’s Edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now That We’re Here…Where in the Universe Are We?!?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the very second you set foot into Galaxy’s Edge, you know you’re in another world. But, where<\/em> exactly? Galaxy’s Edge takes place on the remote planet of Batuu. It is located around the borders of the Outer Rim and Wild Space. And, exactly when<\/em> are we?! In Star Wars terms, we were some time in the year between the events seen in The Last Jedi<\/em> and The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll find yourself at Black Spire Outpost. It is the largest settlement on the planet of Batuu and is a hotspot for smugglers, traders, droids, and explorers. It’s also a great hiding spot for those who want to avoid the First Order. Shortly after entering Galaxy’s Edge, the sights and sounds make you realize that you are now a fellow space traveler, exploring this land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spires located here are actually the petrified remains of huge, ancient trees. Now, the Resistance has created a hideout here among the spires and ancient ruins. The Resistance and the First Order have both arrived on the planet, looking for a mysterious treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While here, you’ll notice that the local language here is Aurebesh. Many signs and labels (even the water bottles) are in this language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now that we know where<\/em> and when<\/em> we are, what should we do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
