Tips for Enjoying Star Wars Day at Disneyland Paris
Ready to make the most of your Star Wars Day adventure? With so much to see and do, a little bit of planning can go a long way in ensuring your visit to Disneyland Paris is as smooth as a speeder bike ride through Endor. Here are some practical tips to help you get the most out of your galactic day:
1. Arrive Early to Catch the Action
Star Wars Day at Disneyland Paris is packed with exciting events, and the earlier you arrive, the more you’ll be able to see and do. Whether you’re aiming to meet characters like Ahsoka or snag exclusive merchandise, starting your day early gives you the best chance to get ahead of the crowds.

2. Check the Entertainment Schedule
Character meet-and-greets, Jedi training sessions, and other Star Wars experiences are often scheduled throughout the day. Make sure to grab a copy of the entertainment schedule (or check the Disneyland Paris app) to plan your visit around key events. That way, you won’t miss out on any of the fun!
3. Wear Comfortable Shoes
You’ll be doing a lot of walking – and possibly even running to catch up with your favourite characters – so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Trust us, your feet will thank you after a day of exploring Discoveryland and beyond!
4. Don’t Forget the Weather
Paris weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to check the forecast before your visit. Whether it’s sunny or a bit rainy, make sure to pack accordingly. An umbrella or light jacket could come in handy, especially if you’re planning to be outside for character meet-and-greets or shows.
5. Bring Your Camera (or Fully Charge Your Phone)
You won’t want to miss a single moment of your Star Wars Day adventure. From epic character photos to stunning views of the park, make sure your camera or phone is ready to capture those unforgettable memories. And pro tip: If you plan on using your phone for photos and the Disneyland Paris app, keep a portable charger handy – you’ll be snapping photos all day long!
6. Plan for Meal Times
With all the excitement, you’ll need to fuel up, but the special Star Wars-themed food can get pretty popular. If you’re planning to dine during peak times, consider making a reservation ahead of time (if possible), or plan for a slightly later lunch to avoid the crowds. And don’t forget to try those exclusive treats – you’ll definitely want a taste of the Darth Vader waffles and Yoda burger!
7. Keep an Eye on the Time
If you want to experience everything, time flies faster than the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive. Keep track of the schedule to ensure you don’t miss key moments, like the BDX Droids’ interactions or the Jedi training. And remember, even though the fun lasts all day, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement – make sure to take a breather to recharge!
