Star Tours – The Adventure Continues

Here at Mouse Travel Matters, we have a love-hate relationship with coasters but Star Wars-themed dark rides don’t count. This updated jump to Hyperspace with its small drops is sure to thrill. This is a 3D, motion-simulated space flight throughout a galaxy far, far away. It’s not a coaster but you will experience a Jedi mind-trick.

March of the First Order

In Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Hollywood Boulevard, you WILL encounter the ‘First Order’. Keep an eye out and clear the way for Captain Plasma as this ruthless commander marches her squad of Stormtroopers up Hollywood Boulevard to Center Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios—witness the First Order’s obedience and strength through this energetic demonstration.

Star Wars – A Galaxy Far, Far Away

In front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre situated on Hollywood Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios witness a powerful live show that will get you right into the Jedi spirit.

Here legendary characters from the Star Wars franchise come to life bringing you some of your favourite scenes from all the classic Star Wars films.

Characters of the past and current franchise movies appear. There are several showtimes throughout the day featuring such characters as C3PO, Chewbacca, Yoda, BB-8, and more.

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks

A nighttime show at  Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks is a must-see during your Disney stay! The show features fireworks, projection mapping, fire, lasers, fog effects, and searchlights complete with Star Wars imagery projected on Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
