2.  Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland

Come live your very own Star Wars™ story in a whole new land where a galaxy far, far away unfolds all around you. Welcome to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, opening May 31, 2019. Around corners and through back alleys, you can build your own droid and custom lightsaber and sample the curious concoctions of the local cantina. Then, gather your crew and take control of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy on Millennium Falcon­­­: Smugglers Run. And, after opening later in the year, find yourself caught in an epic battle between the Resistance and the First Order in Star Wars:Rise of the Resistance—where the incoming laser fire of a towering AT-AT is matched only by the red crackle of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber. Soon the time will come to live your adventure at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

 Disclaimer:
Reservations and valid Theme Park admission required to visit Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge between May 31 and June 23, 2019.
