Overview
Live your dreamed Star Wars adventure in a galaxy that's not so far away! Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (also known as the Black Spire Outpost) is an exciting land at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, FL. Thanks to Walt Disney Imagineering and inspired by the Star Wars universe, the 14-acre land at Walt Disney World is an extensive expansion that includes a plethora of Star Wars themed rides, shops, restaurants and unique entertainment experiences.
In addition to extraordinary rides and attractions, entertainment, and character greetings, this entire land immerses you in a Star Wars universe straight out of the movies. Explore the remote planet of Batuu, home to smugglers, rogue traders and adventurers.
All your Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Questions Answered!
Located inside Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Star Wars land replaced most of the park's Streets of America section as well as the surrounding backlot facades, shops and restaurants.
No, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is included with regular admission to Hollywood Studios theme park at Walt Disney World Resort.
With the Play Disney Parks App, you can turn your mobile device into a Star Wars Datapad. Explore the planet Batuu, interact with door panels and droids, look inside cargo crates, translate signs throughout Black Spire Outpost, and more. The App will guide you deeper into the galaxy and help you uncover stories and secrets throughout the land. With each job you complete, you'll enjoy digital rewards including star maps, ship schematics and galactic credits.
Whether you're a Star Wars fan or not, visiting Galaxy's Edge at Disney World is absolutely worth it. This out-of-this-world land has detailed story elements from the movies and feels like you've left Earth to enter another world, with petrified trees, blaster-scorched buildings, a marketplace inspired by real-world street scenes, and interactive characters.
Reserve a spot at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for a delicious restaurant experience, or reenergize with a beverage off of Oga's Cantina's expansive menu. If you're looking for a quick service kiosk, head to Ronto Roasters for a grilled sausage, roasted pork wrap, or other meals and snacks. Finally, enjoy a green milk or blue milk at the Milk Stand - coconut and rice milk served frozen.
