food IS a theme park
We love Disneyland normally, but Disneyland during their After Dark events, meaning lower crowds, special experiences and meet and greets, exclusive snacks and merchandise, and more? Yes, please!

Sweethearts’ Nite is coming to Disneyland Park this year on January 22nd, 25th, and 27th, and February 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 12th, and 17th from 9 PM to 1 AM, and while they’re already sold out for the year, if you got your ticket, now we know what special snacks you can grab during the event!
Disneyland’s Star Wars area is getting a massive upgrade! Galaxy’s Edge is a Star Wars-themed land on both the East and West Coasts, and they’ve been very similar. You’ll explore Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu that the First Order has overtaken. You can meet Kylo Ren and his Stormtroopers, ride the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca, and help Finn, Rey, and the Rebel Alliance take down the First Order. Both lands have been set during the sequel trilogy – until now!

While Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World will stay the same, the West Coast’s Disneyland area will be completely rethemed to be set during the original trilogy. This means new characters from “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Return of the Jedi” will be roaming around the park. But how will these changes impact the characters currently in Galaxy’s Edge?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland is about to undergo one of the biggest pivots since the land opened, and it’s happening fast.
Galaxy’s Edge
Beginning April 29th, Disney will officially expand Galaxy’s Edge’s once-strict timeline, allowing characters and storylines from multiple Star Wars eras to coexist in Batuu. That means familiar faces from the original trilogy, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and beyond will now appear together in the land, marking a major change from Disney’s previous insistence on keeping Galaxy’s Edge locked into a single point in the sequel trilogy timeline. So why the sudden change of heart? And why now? Let’s break down exactly what’s changing and what Disney really stands to gain from it.
If you need a drink in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? You have a few choices. You can always grab a Cold Brew Black Caf at Docking Bay 7, but if you want to have a drink in a real hive of scum and villainy, there’s Oga’s Cantina.

Well, things at Oga’s Cantina has been changing in Disneyland. First, Oga’s got rid of advance reservations and now only has walk-up availability (meaning you might have to stand in line to get inside). But this popular bar is going to be closing soon, and although we originally thought the closure was only going to be for about five days, it looks like it might be closed longer than that.
On January 14th, Disney announced that BIG changes are coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Disney is expanding the timeline for Galaxy’s Edge to include more Star Wars eras, unlocking the timeline in the biggest way yet. Changes include new characters, updated stores and merchandise, and updated music. The changes will be coming to Disneyland starting April 29th.
Galaxy’s Edge
The timeline is being rolled back several decades to include characters and storylines from The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka. New characters, including Darth Vader, Leia Organa, and Han Solo, will be coming to Galaxy’s Edge. The music will be getting updated to include scores from the iconic composer John Williams. Multiple stores will also be updated. First Order Cargo will become Black Spire Surplus. Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities will display a different array of one-of-a-kind items from its past, changing with the times. An earlier generation of the Mubo family will now be operating Droid Depot, and you might even spot Luke Skywalker meeting with Savi in his search for information on lightsabers and the Force at Savi’s Workshop.
It’s hard to believe that 70 years old, one man’s dream became a theme park that eventually launched theme parks all across the world. But that’s exactly what Walt Disney did when he dreamed up Disneyland and created The Happiest Place on Earth, even against all odds.

Now, we’ve learned a lot from shows like The Imagineering Story about how Disneyland and its rides were created, but a brand new documentary about the creation of Disneyland, Disneyland Handcrafted, goes even deeper with “the sights, sounds, and first-hand accounts” of those who helped create this iconic OG Disney theme park. Well, we got some NEW details about that documentary recently at a media event.
