As we’ve previously shared, the highly anticipated attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open on Dec. 5, 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Jan. 17, 2020 at Disneyland park in California.

We’re excited to share that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been named one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Greatest Places 2019. This annual list recognizes 100 destinations around the world that are breaking new ground, leading industry trends and offering guests an experience that’s unlike any other.

I know you are as excited as we are for the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the Disneyland Resort on May 31, and a fun summer ahead!

You never know what strange things will materialize when happy haunts are involved. It’s been a couple of years now (though it feels like 50) since I’ve had the chance to write, or in this case “ghost” write for the Disney Parks Blog, and I’ve very much missed so many of you kind souls …  

Sugarboo & Co., a new specialty boutique every bit as sweet as it sounds, is now open in the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort!  They call themselves a “Dealer in Whimsy” and you’ll see why. What you will find here is a treasure trove of imprinted jewelry, handmade ceramics, paper goods and decor with inspiring sayings that make great, meaningful gifts or something special for yourself.

In just days, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will welcome its first guests at the Disneyland Resort! And to celebrate, we’re thrilled to announce that the Disney Parks Blog will be hosting a special #DisneyParksLIVE stream presented by AT&T covering the dedication ceremony of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort on May 29.

Last month, Disney Parks Blog readers were among the first to see the Disney Parks Wishables – the all-new, collectible and adorable additions to our merchandise offerings at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
