Disney has certainly done a lot with the Star Wars saga since acquiring it in 2012, but bringing it into the theme parks was inevitable. Like any Disney Park fixture, Galaxy's Edge is also the backdrop for special events and hot ticket celebrations that make fans drool.
Seasons of the Force is a spring celebration of all things Star Wars for the Disneyland Resort, bringing in new experiences and opportunities for visiting guests for a limited time. This year, Disney is doing more than adding overlays and new food items, including an appearance from one of the galaxy's legendary heroes.
The Force awakens this summer at Galaxy's Edge
This isn't the first time Disneyland has played host to Seasons of the Force, but it is the first time it will be incorporating several new features. The Disney Parks Blog has released a comprehensive guide to the event (found here), listing out all the exciting additions. However, here are a few perks Disney's PR team kindly shared with us.
Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga
In a new Nighttime Spectacular, fans will see epic moments of the Skywalkers' story as it unfolds in a grand and glorious display of projections and pyrotechnics. The new show will also be accompanied by original music from famed composer and Disney Legend, John Williams.
Luke Skywalker at Galaxy's Edge
It was recently teased that Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 were seen lurking about Baatu one evening, and Disney confirms it in the new guide to Seasons of the Force. Along with other iconic characters like Chewbacca and Vader, these two can be found at the event for a limited time.
Southern California resident deal
Star Wars fans local to the Southern California region also have an opportunity to reap savings benefits for Seasons of the Force and more. For $199, residents can enjoy three days, one park per day, of Disneyland fun. However, this offer is only available through May 15, 2025.
Other perks
Along with the bells and whistles mentioned above, Disney Park guests attending Seasons of the Force can also enjoy special food and merchandise items exclusive to this celebration, as well as the Hyperspace Mountain overlay at Tomorrowland's iconic coaster. Needless to say, it definitely sounds like a blast!
Seasons of the Force promises to be an exciting event for Star Wars fans of all ages, and this writer can certainly agree with that. Now, if only Disney's Hollywood Studios could get a piece of the action.
Seasons of the Force runs from March 28 through May 11, 2025 at the Disneyland Resort.
