A long time ago (well, 2015 and then again in 2024) in a theme park far, far away (depending on how far you live from Anaheim), there was a Disneyland event called Season of the Force. This annual celebration returns to our galaxy from March to May 2025. Disneyland is taking Star Wars Month (May) and spreading it out over two months in 2025. This way, "Star Wars" fans have more time to attend the Season of the Force, which includes May the Fourth and additional Star Wars Nites — separately ticketed Disneyland After Dark parties. Let's go over dates and what to expect!
It's time to party! Save up to $35 per ticket on 3- and 4-day Disneyland® Resort tickets for visits from May 16, 2025, through Aug. 14, 2025 — just in time for Disneyland® Resort's 70th Anniversary Celebration!
What to Expect at Disneyland Season of the Force
Season of the Force is the special months-long "Star Wars" celebration, which takes place from March 28 through May 11, 2025, at Disneyland Resort. The celebration brings ride overlays, debuts new ride adventures and characters, and introduces special foods, beverages and merchandise. Plus, it also brings more parties and a new way to watch Disneyland fireworks in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. In 2025, there is a new projection show, as well as the limited-time appearances of Luke Skywalker!
Grand Californian Hotel & Spa Lobby
Over in the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa you'll find one of the most impressive pieces of Star Wars art. A ginormous Death Star made entirely of cake and rice crispy spins around slowly. Check out the Great Hall Cart for special Star Wars treats (as well as the Death Star popcorn bucket) and the GCH Craftsman Grill for themed donuts and other snacks.
Attraction Overlays During Season of the Force
Hyperspace Mountain
Hyperspace Mountain attraction is a popular overlay during the Season of the Force in which the "Star Wars" franchise takes over this classic Tomorrowland ride. As soon as you take off and start to climb, you'll hear music from the films and experience special lighting to get your heart racing. Oh no! It's a trap. Join an X-wing starfighter in an exhilarating battle. You'll encounter a Star Destroyer and dodge TIE fighters along the way. It’s worth the wait!
Get Lightning Lane Multi Pass and book Hyperspace Mountain as soon as you enter the park. This ride also has a Single Rider line at select times.
Star Tours — The Adventure Continues
In 2024, during Season of the Force, new adventures debuted at Star Tours — The Adventure Continues. The new characters can still be found during the ride in 2025, including Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) and Grogu. You'll even encounter Purrgil (sacred space whales)!
You can skip the lines for both these rides by reserving with Lightning Lane Multi Pass service. Space Mountain also has a Single Rider line!
Galactic Fireworks Show During Season of the Force
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge was a lesser-known spot to watch Disneyland fireworks, but you got an out-of-this-world view of the bursts over the blue spires at night. It was oddly quiet (except for the booming explosions) without any accompanying music that you might experience at other fireworks viewing spots at Disneyland. Well, that has changed! During the festival and beyond, galactic music (with selections from composer John Williams’ "Star Wars" film scores) sweeps through the spires while you watch the show.
"Fire of the Rising Moons" takes place on select nights with fireworks (subject to weather). During this special gathering, villagers and visitors join together to celebrate their freedom. As the skies over Batuu light up in bursts of color, guests can hear the iconic music associated with heroes and legends from across the galaxy. Hop tip: Watch fireworks in Batuu with Star Wars music, or watch the show on Main Street or near "it's a small world" or Rivers of America with the standard soundtrack. (It's the same fireworks show no matter where you choose to watch from! Just the sound, music and lighting will differ.)
The show music is synced with the music for whatever fireworks show is currently hoppening, so it might be slightly different, depending on the day you see it and the show that is playing. Here's a look at the show on opening weekend, when it was synced with Wondrous Journeys! You're going to need a multi-day ticket so you can watch the fireworks in Galaxy's Edge one night and at one of the other fireworks viewing spots elsewhere in the park to watch Together Forever another night! If you have a MagicBand+, make sure to charge it since it interacts with the show with lights and vibrations.
Viewing areas in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge include the Black Spire Spaceport, the TIE Echelon docking platform and the speeder garage. Be sure to charge your MagicBand+ as it responds to the show with colorful lights and vibrations.
New Nightly Projection Show
A new nightly projection show called “Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga” debuted on March 28, 2025. The show takes fans on a storytelling adventure across the galaxy, following the lives of the Skywalker father and son. Stunning projection transforms the spires of Batuu near the Millennium Falcon. Watch some of the greatest moments in galactic history unfold, accompanied by iconic music from the films of the Skywalker saga.
You can find showtimes at Disneyland.com or in the Disneyland app.
Characters in Batuu
You'll see familiar characters, such as Rey, Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, R2-D2, Chewie, Boba Fett, The Mandalorian with Grogu, Ahsoka Tano and others from the "Star Wars" galaxy walking — or rolling — about. When in Galaxy's Edge, keep an eye out for characters (and droids)! In 2025, keep an eye out for the legendary Luke Skywalker!
This is a great season to spend extra time in Galaxy's Edge. You never know who you might run into!
