Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Rides and Attractions
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
This interactive flight simulator lets you take on one of several crew roles—pilot, gunner, or engineer. Each role affects the outcome of the mission. Even if you’ve never flown a starship before, the controls are easy to understand, and the ride offers enough thrills for both kids and adults.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Often considered one of Disney World’s most impressive attractions, Rise of the Resistance is a multi-part experience that places you directly into a battle against the First Order. The attraction mixes trackless vehicles, screens, and lifelike sets for a dramatic ride from start to finish.
Dining and Food Experiences at Galaxy’s Edge
Oga’s Cantina
This lively cantina offers themed drinks and fun music spun by DJ R-3X. Reservations are recommended because it tends to fill up quickly. Even without alcohol, the cantina has creative options for all ages, making it a fun stop during your visit.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
If you want a full meal, Docking Bay 7 is the main quick-service restaurant. The menu includes hearty bowls and plates inspired by galactic ingredients. Portions are generous, making it a great option for families needing an energy boost before tackling more attractions.
Blue Milk and Green Milk
No trip to Galaxy’s Edge is complete without trying Blue or Green Milk. These frosty drinks are dairy-free and lightly fruity. Many guests enjoy the Blue Milk for its softer flavor, but both are worth trying at least once.
