Disneyland will restrict visitors with free Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservations to a 4-hour time limit during an initial “soft opening” period of the highly anticipated new themed land at the Anaheim theme park.

Disneyland has begun issuing reservations that will provide access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during an initial 24-day soft opening beginning with the May 31 grand opening of the new 14-acre themed land.

Hotel guests who booked a room at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel or Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel during the soft opening period between May 31 and June 23 began receiving emails Monday, April 22, with their reservation time to enter the new land.

Some Galaxy’s Edge reservation times that were sent to hotel guests had the incorrect day. Disney resolved the errors and resent the reservation times, officials said.

Hotel guests will receive only one Galaxy’s Edge reservation for their group’s entire stay. Groups will be required to leave Galaxy’s Edge at the end of their 4-hour reservation period, according to Disney officials. If you leave early you won’t be allowed to reenter.

Rooms that include a Galaxy’s Edge reservation are still available at the three Disneyland hotels during the soft opening period. The lowest price available during the 24-day reservation period appeared to be $412 for a standard view room at the Paradise Pier Hotel, according to the Disneyland website. Available rates during the reservation-only period are running $503 per night for the Paradise Pier Hotel, $617 for the Disneyland Hotel and $763 for Disney’s Grand Californian, Disney officials said.

“Star Wars” fans hoping to explore Galaxy’s Edge during the 24-day soft opening will need to secure a free reservation. Additional details on reservations will be available at the Disney Parks Blog at 8 a.m. May 2. Non-hotel guests wanting to secure a reservation will need to sign up for a Disney account.

No stand-by visitors will be permitted to enter Galaxy’s Edge between May 31 and June 23, according to Disneyland officials.

Galaxy’s Edge visitors will need a Disneyland ticket and a free advance reservation providing access to the themed land during the soft opening period. Galaxy’s Edge reservations are void if transferred or sold.

Each registered guest staying at the three hotels during the initial 24-day window will receive one reservation to Galaxy’s Edge during their group’s stay or the day they check out. A limited number of theme park visitors not staying in one of the three Disneyland hotels will be able to make reservations for Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland will limit the amount of time visitors can spend in the new 14-acre themed land during the soft opening period.

The reservation will provide access to Galaxy’s Edge and the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction. The new land’s Rise of the Resistance trackless dark ride won’t open until later this year.

Disneyland will allow overnight lineups before the May 31 grand opening and the June 24 post-reservation date. The overnight lineups will be handled in a similar way to the queues that were formed for Disneyland’s 50th and 60th anniversary celebrations in 2005 and 2015.

No reservations will be needed to enter Galaxy’s Edge beginning June 24. Disneyland is developing a virtual queue system for Galaxy’s Edge that will allow visitors to wander around Disneyland while waiting to enter the new Star Wars land.

The digital system will issue a “boarding pass” that will provide visitors access to Galaxy’s Edge. Boarding pass groups will be permitted to enter Galaxy’s Edge as the land empties rather than at specified times.

Beginning June 24, there will no longer be any restrictions on how long visitors can stay in Galaxy’s Edge. While entry to Galaxy’s Edge will be controlled, visitors will be able to leave through any of the land’s three entry points.
