Disneyland will begin accepting reservations Thursday for its $1 billion Star Wars land, which is expected to attract throngs of visitors when it opens May 31. The 14-acre Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land will feature two rides, four eateries, one space-themed cantina and five retail shops. The attraction is being replicated at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, but it will not open there until Aug. 29. For the first three weeks after opening at Disneyland,

A new Disneyland annual pass will require visitors to make advance reservations on busy days as the Anaheim theme park continues to tweak admissions policies ahead of the crowds expected to descend on the highly anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The $599 Disney Flex annual pass goes on sale May 21 and can be used starting the same day, Disneyland officials announced. The new Flex pass fills a price gap between the bare-bones $399 SoCal Select, which has

Disneyland is introducing a new annual passport option for guests, aimed at giving visitors more flexibility in scheduling their visits. Beginning May 21, the park's Disney Flex Passport will let passholders select between visiting Disneyland, California Adventure, or both parks on select "good-to-go" days. The pass includes limited blackout days and allows holders to book reservations on select days for more access, the park says. Guests can make reservations

Disneyland expects that four hours will be enough time for most visitors to explore Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge during the initial reservation-only period and that scoundrels who overstay their welcome will be dealt with by a squadron of stormtroopers. Disneyland will restrict visitors with free Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge reservations to a 4-hour time limit during an initial "soft opening" period of the highly anticipated new themed land at the Anaheim theme park.

Guests at Disneyland's "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" may find themselves at the start of their own Jedi - or Sith - origin at the table of one workshop. Guests at planet Batuu's Black Spire Outpost will be treated to the opportunity to create their own lightsabers at Savi's Workshop. There, guests will decide whether to follow the the Jedi way or the path to the Dark Side. At Savi's Scrapyard, "the Gatherers" have collected kyber crystals used to build

700 Items to Auction in One Day Van Eaton Galleries has announced The Art of Entertainment, a pop culture & Disneyland auction taking place May 4, 2019 beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT at Van Eaton Galleries in Sherman Oaks, California. A striking item included in the collection is a very rare, one-of-a-kind original presentation Nautilus used by Walt Disney in 1954 to promote the feature film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". The model can be seen with Walt Disney in

Oga's Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will give Disneyland visitors the opportunity to order an alien cocktail in a wretched hive of scum and villainy just like the one where Han Solo dispatched with a bounty hunter - minus the blaster aimed at you under the table. The Galaxy's Edge cantina at the center of Disneyland's new themed land will draw inspiration from the lively cocktail bars seen in "Solo," "The Force Awakens" and the original "Star Wars" film.

The first visitors to Disneyland's highly anticipated new Star Wars attraction will each be given a four-hour window to take in the $1 billion expansion - but how that deadline will be enforced is still unclear. With five weeks to go before the May 31 opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Disneyland sent out emails over the weekend to fans who were guaranteed access to the land by making reservations at any of the resort's three hotels. The Anaheim theme park

Disneyland will bring back the popular Hyperspace Mountain roller coaster overlay and march a legion of stormtroopers into Tomorrowland to celebrate May the Fourth, the unofficial Star Wars holiday. The May the Fourth event kicks off a countdown celebration leading up to the May 31 debut of the highly anticipated new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge themed land at the Anaheim theme park. The Star Wars-themed overlay of Space Mountain was first introduced during the

We've heard it again and again: "Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." It's an inspiring concept and an appropriate, if overused line that Disney trots out in order to justify any number of closures, revisions, and expansions they want to tack onto the parks. But Disneyland isn't a collection of new and shiny toys. It's a compelling blend of the new and the old, the vintage and the
