Attention Star Wars fans! May the 4th will soon be here and today we have an early look at exclusive Star Wars merchandise and a few of the out-of-this-galaxy park experiences to celebrate the day with us at Walt Disney World Resort.

During the annual fan-proclaimed “Star Wars Day,” we’re releasing several new items, including a Star Wars T-shirt, drinkware and several pins. The special themed merchandise will be available on May 4 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Tatooine, Launch Bay and Mickey’s of Hollywood and at Disney Springs at Star Wars Galactic Outpost and Star Wars Trading Post. Merchandise available while supplies last.
Also, tickets are now on sale for a special Disney After Hours celebration of May the 4th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you aren’t familiar with Disney After Hours events, they’re your opportunity to experience the magic of a Disney theme park for three hours after regular park hours, with limited attendance, which means little-to-no wait for attractions, experiences and character greetings.
On May 4, you’ll have the opportunity to encounter Chewbacca with Rey, Kylo Ren with Captain Phasma and more at the park during Disney After Hours! There will also be themed merchandise and special treats available for purchase. You can grab Disney After Hours tickets for May the 4th right now. *Be sure your costume fits within these park guidelines.
During May the 4th, it’s also a great time to ride Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and enjoy other Star Wars experiences, including:
Star Wars Guided Tours – The full Force of Star Wars fun happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with this all-access tour.
Star Wars: Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Enjoy Star Wars-themed desserts and drinks (with a souvenir stein) while watching the show from a reserved viewing area.
Star Wars Launch Bay: Meet Chewbacca – Get ready for a rebel rendezvous with this legendary Wookiee warrior.
Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple – Train in the ways of The Force and put skills to the test against the Dark Side.
March of the First Order – Clear the way for Captain Phasma as this ruthless commander leads her squad of stormtroopers up Hollywood Boulevard.
