May the 4th be with you! Yes, we’ve made that joke all day, and no, we’re not tired of it yet.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There is no better place to celebrate Star Wars Day than by going to Disney Parks! Now, we’re not the only people who want to celebrate this iconic holiday in the theme parks, and that means the crowds have arrived like the Millennium Falcon.
Starting us off in Hollywood Studios in Disney World, it was BUSY, but that’s to no one’s surprise. Here’s a look at the marketplace…

…and Ronto Roasters (gotta get those Ronto Wraps!).

Ronto Roasters
Busy, busy.
Galaxy’s Edge
Wait times weren’t too wild. We saw Rise of the Resistance get up to 95, but later in the day, it was only at 80 minutes. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run was around 40 minutes, too. Our underrated favorite, Star Tours, was a walk-on (per usual).

A lot of the crowds come for the evening, when there’s a lightsaber meetup. When it gets dark, everyone lights up their lightsabers in front of the Millennium Falcon. Check out the pictures from last year!
Lighting up the night with lightsabers
Over in Disneyland, the crowds looked very similar (partly because the lands look so similar).

We definitely felt the crowds in the walkways.

A bit hard to walk through
There were quieter moments while walking around, which we appreciated. Again, people are likely waiting to come till the evening, so it’s a bit darker (and cooler) out.

Moments of calmness
Wait times looked very similar in Disneyland, with Rise of the Resistance being at 75 minutes, but Smugglers Run was only 15 minutes, while Star Tours was at 25 minutes, so a bit of a switch-a-roo. There are a lot more cabins in Star Tours in Disney World!
