Thanks to our resident His Stigness, my girlfriend and I were able to get into Galaxy’s Edge (the new “Star Wars Land” area at Disneyland) this weekend. While we definitely do not qualify as “Star Wars nerds”, we were very much still able to appreciate the opportunity to get into this new section of the park. You basically feel as if you are on a real planet within the Star Wars universe, tucked away into a back corner of Disneyland. The cast members really sell the whole “off planet” thing and the whole area is done with Disney’s usual extreme attention to detail. While I still don’t care that much for the magical Disneyland thing, it was still neat to go for a day and enjoy the experience. We never waited in a long line, it was not overly hot, and the crowds overall were pretty light. Plus I had an excuse to wear my new star wars themed blipshift shirt!
There was not a huge amount of things to do in Galaxy’s Edge but it was still a really awesome place to get to go to. The one ride available right now was quite neat and worth the adventure alone. It was unique from other rides in the park and the styling of the line to get in was pretty sweet. Overall, it was a really cool place to visit and I am glad to have gotten the chance to go.

It looks fantastic!
My wife and I are going to Disneyland in November and I’m already getting pretty hyped up about it. We’re not really Star Wars fans and we are hoping a lot of the crowd is drawn over there while we enjoy the rest of the park. I would like to take a walk through Galaxy’s Edge just to see it though.

By then the hype should hopefully die down a little bit and there will be another ride open as well. So you will at least be able to get in for sure. Right now you need reservations for a 4 hour time slot but its soon opening up fully to the public. I’m sure it will continue to grow into a really cool spot.

Nifty.
If I worked there, I’d pitch them letting me build a buy here pay here spaceship lot.
I’d tell everyone who asked they can only take a test drive if their credit checks out. And since Republic credits aren’t good out here...

I did find it neat that when buying something from one of the bodegas, they told you the amount was in “credits” instead of “dollars”

Do they take Apple Pay in Republic or Imperial systems now?

I’m not sure, I am part of the Android resistance.

The Black Spire Outpost has initiated a system to do a fair trade of Credits to Dollars via the NFC system.
(Disney has updated all their pay terminals to take Google and Apple Pay)
