Do you have to pay extra to get into Star Wars at Disneyland?

Ticket Prices for Star Wars Disneyland 2023 Just like you can experience Frontierland or Tomorrowland, you can enjoy Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge with no additional ticket fee.



No, you do not have to pay an extra fee to enter Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during regular park hours. Access to the land, its shops, and the two major attractions—Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance—is included with your standard Disneyland park admission ticket. However, you will need to pay extra for specific "upcharge" experiences within the land, such as building a custom lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop (approx. $250) or building a droid at the Droid Depot (approx. $100). Additionally, while the land is free, during peak capacity periods you may need to join a "Virtual Queue" via the Disneyland app to enter. In April and May 2026, there are also separately ticketed "Star Wars Nite" events that cost roughly $174+; these are after-hours parties with special characters and food that require a dedicated ticket.

Yes, you generally do have to pay extra beyond the standard Disneyland park admission to experience the main Star Wars attractions.

Here’s a breakdown of what costs extra and what’s included:

Included with Park Admission (No Extra Charge):

  • Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Land: Simply entering the land itself—walking around the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, seeing the Millennium Falcon, and soaking in the atmosphere—is included.
  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run: This ride is a regular standby or Lightning Lane attraction (more on that below).
  • Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance: This flagship ride is also included with admission, though it often uses a virtual queue (free) during peak times, which requires joining via the Disneyland app at designated times.
  • Character Interactions: Meeting characters like Rey, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, and Stormtroopers roaming the land.
  • Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities: The famous collectibles shop.
  • Various Dining & Snacks: Eating at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Ronto Roasters, or getting a drink at Oga’s Cantina (though a reservation is highly recommended for the cantina).

What Costs EXTRA:

  1. Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane (ILL):

    • Genie+ (paid daily add-on): This service includes Lightning Lane access for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, allowing you to skip the regular standby line.
    • Individual Lightning Lane (ILL) (separate à la carte purchase): This is typically used for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. You pay a per-person fee (price varies by day, often $20-$30) to guarantee a specific ride time without needing the virtual queue.

  2. Oga’s Cantina Reservations: While the drinks/food themselves are an extra purchase, getting a spot often requires significant advance planning or luck. It doesn’t have a cover charge, but you must have a reservation to enter during busy times.

  3. Build Your Own Lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop: This immersive experience costs around $250-$270 (including tax) for the custom lightsaber and carrying case. Requires an advance reservation.
