If you’re even slightly into Star Wars, there’s no better place to be on May 4th than Disney's Hollywood Studios.

This isn’t just a theme park day—it’s a full-blown galactic celebration inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge where fans, collectors, and die-hards show up in full force.


🚀 What Makes May the 4th Different?

“May the 4th be with you” isn’t just a phrase here—it’s an event.

  • Exclusive merchandise drops (and yes… lines get wild)
  • Fans in full cosplay walking around Batuu
  • Cast members leaning all the way into character
  • Energy that feels more like Comic-Con than Disney

If you’ve been to Hollywood Studios before, this is a completely different vibe.


🎢 Must-Do Experiences (Don’t Wing This Day)

⚔️ Rise of the Resistance

This is still the #1 attraction in the park—and on May 4th, it’s chaos if you don’t plan.

  • Get there early or use Lightning Lane
  • Expect high demand all day
  • Worth it every single time

🚀 Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

You’re not just riding—you’re flying the Falcon.

Pro tip: ask for pilot if you want the best experience.


🥤 Oga’s Cantina

This place turns into a party on May 4th.

  • Unique drinks (yes, some glow)
  • DJ droid spinning music
  • Reservations go FAST—book ahead

🛍️ Exclusive Merch Drops (This Is Serious)

Collectors know—this is where Disney goes all out.

Expect:

  • Limited-edition lightsabers
  • May the 4th apparel
  • Rare collectibles you won’t see again

👉 If you want something specific, get there at rope drop. No joke.


💡 Pro Tips to Survive (and Enjoy) the Day

  • Get there early – this is not a “roll in at noon” day
  • Mobile order everything – saves you serious time
  • Stay hydrated – Florida heat + crowds = no joke
  • Dress the part – even subtle Star Wars gear adds to the experience
  • Have a plan – or you’ll spend half your day in lines
