Your Ultimate Guide to "Season of the Force” 2025 at Disneyland
I have to say, stepping into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for the first time was an incredible experience. Even though I wouldn’t call myself the biggest Star Wars fan, I was blown away by the level of detail in this land. My fiancé, however, is a lifelong Star Wars fanatic, and I wish I had recorded his reaction upon entering Batuu for the first time. His face lit up like a kid in a candy store! It truly feels like you've been transported to another planet.
So if you’re a Star Wars fan like my fiance, then get ready for the highly anticipated Season of the Force, which is making its grand return to Disneyland Park from March 28 to May 11, 2025.
This limited-time event brings new nighttime experiences, ride overlays, exclusive merchandise, and delicious galactic treats to immerse guests in the epic world of Star Wars.
To experience Season of the Force, guests need a valid theme park ticket and a reservation for Disneyland Park on the same day. No additional ticket is required specifically for Season of the Force activities; they are included with standard park admission.
