Magical Mickey Mondays: Disneyland's Season of the Force

It is Monday so we are linking up with another Magical Mickey with John at run.geek.rundisney and Katie from Adventures by Katie.

​Hi all! I just spent a great Saturday night and Sunday checking out all that Season of the Force has to offer. Here is an overview: 
  • new menu at Galactic Grill (formally Tomorrowland Terrace)
  • Hyperspace Mountain
  • updated scenes from Star Tours
  • Path of a Jedi
  • Launch Bay
  • Shopping
  • SuperHero HQ! 

Let's hop in!

Above is the breakfast menu. The people in our group got the Darth Tamale, Bantha Blue Milk (basically french toast with blue swirls), and the Lars Family Breakfast platter. Everyone enjoyed their food! They have a separate lunch menu also redone in theme. You can also get the Chewie mug and the Han in carbonite lunch box here.

Next up is Hyperspace Mountain. This ride is just everything Disney could do right-I mean look at our faces!!! We were very systematic. We did rope drop, got fastpasses, and rode with a 5 minute ride and then rode it with our fastpasses about an hour later waiting about 10 minutes. 

I don't want to give too much away from the ride but basically you are put on a mission from Admiral Ackbar to go to Jakuu and it puts you in the middle of a battle (see the top of the picture). It brings together effects, projections and music that makes an amazing experience. Not going to lie-when I rode it during the soft previews over Avengers, I may have cried. It was just so overwhelming. It definitely has repeatablility and I can't wait to ride it again! This will definitely be around for a long time to come! 

They also updated some of the scenes in Star tours. SPOILER ALERT (SKIP TO THE NEXT SECTION TO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS). we saw: darth vader opening with boba fett added, the new scene on Jakuu that everyone will see featuring Finn, BB8 asking us to assist with rebels, and Naboo but instead of the guy breaking the viewport, he just throws paint on us. The scene in Jakuu was great and I can't wait to see it again!

​Another attraction added was the Path of Jedi. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would and it is basically using scenes from episode 1-6 to show where we have been, with Anakin/Darth, Luke, and Leia using the force and where we are going. It was a great pump up for the movie!

Launch Bay is on the bottom level of Invoventions and basically has photo opportunities with Darth Vader and Chewbacca as well as unique shopping opportunities. It has many props that have also been out at Star wars Celebration, comic con and D23 so it may not be new to you. They also had a photo opp in a cantina! we want the real one! 
Picture
There is ton of new merchandise in Star traders as well as around the parks. The biggest item was the make your own nametags! I got one made (you can see it in the Hyperspace mountain pic above), with my name in Aurebesh and it says Jedi Master! haha! So much fun and still vary affortable. 
Picture
Superhero HQ still has the meet n greet for Thor, the suit of armor, but now you can meet Spiderman! He was great character interaction and I can't wait to see who else they bring! 

Overall, I had an amazing time at the Seasons of the Force and it pumps me up to see the movie in less than a month! I think it came together nicely and I definitely see this all staying around for a year, if not more. I highly suggest getting up early and doing rope drop so you can see everything. We got to see everything before 11AM without having to wait in line. However, make sure to pack your patience. The area will be VERY crowded and busy, especially during Star wars: light side race weekend. 

Anyone else have an opportunity to participate in Seasons of the force yet? What were your thoughts?
