You may not have reservations for opening day at Disneyland’s highly anticipated Star Wars land, but there is still a way to feel a part of the experience: limited-edition merchandise.

But snagging that collectible may cost you sleep as well as cash.

Disney announced that a host of limited-release Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge items will be on sale May 31 on the upper floor of Star Wars Launch Bay in Tomorrowland. But if you’re planning to scoop up enough collectibles to fund your child’s college tuition 15 years from now, know this — the line starts forming at 2 a.m.

And if the past is any indication, that line will be long in a very short time.

DISNEYLAND'S NEW STROLLER RULES: Will yours be rejected?

What merch you can expect to see

While Disney didn’t specify exactly what limited-edition items will be available, among the most popular are likely to be enamel pins featuring various Star Wars characters as well as the opening-day date.

And don’t be surprised to find T-shirts, stuffed animals, action figures and assorted toys, some of which may be dated, making them that much more valuable (or so hopes the collector in all of us).

Where to find more opening-day items

Other not-so-limited Galaxy's Edge items will be available throughout Disneyland and California Adventure. In Disneyland, find officially licensed Star Wars merchandise at the Emporium (Main Street), Star Trader (Tomorrowland) and Pooh Corner (Critter Country). In California Adventure, try Elias & Co.

WORRIED ABOUT CROWDS? So is Disney, and here is what it's doing about it

Just getting into Disneyland will require its own investment – a valid park admission, which costs $129 for May 31. If the Force is still with you, even if your budget is not, opening-day merchandise will be on sale inside World of Disney at Downtown Disney, and at shops inside the Disneyland Hotel. No admission required.

Be sure to remember what Yoda would have said if he were a marketing genius rather than a Jedi master: "Quantities, limited they will be."

And if you can't make it to Disneyland?

Should you want to get your hands on opening-day items without heading to Disneyland, it's extremely likely the secondary market will be strong in this one. Look for resellers to offer their otherworldly wares on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and other sites used by those looking to make a few bucks.

Just know that a limited-release Galaxy's Edge pin may be selling for a price far more than its face value, perhaps fittingly since it's from a galaxy far far away.

The special-edition merchandise will also be available inside Galaxy's Edge, which requires a reservation and valid park admission through June 23.

Planning to go simply to be part of the experience? Parking opens at midnight as May 30 turns to May 31. Bring coffee and patience.

If you miss out, you'll have another shot Aug. 29 when Galaxy's Edge opens in Hollywood Studios at Disney World. At this point, no reservations are required.
