Season of the Force at Disneyland Resort

Holidays at Disneyland Resort are finally here!!! the boys and i are especially excited because this year there is something new happening. besides all the Holiday decorations, and the Christmas Parade, Disneyland has a brand new Star Wars holiday experience called Season of the Force. the boys and i were already able to check it out, and i am beyond excited to share our experience with you. hopefully you and your family can make it to Disneyland Resort this holidays season and experience it for yourselves. there's always lots of magical fun at Disneyland...and Season of the Force is the icing on the cake.

Season of the Force is taking place in Disneyland's Tomorrowland. as you walk in, you will first come to the Star Tours ride. Star Tours has been upgraded to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, with a glimpse into a new journey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which premieres Dec. 18th. he ride is the same except scenes from the new movie will be added to your experience.

next up is The Star Trader Shop. before now, it had Star Wars merchandise along with lots of general Disney merchandise. but now is holds exclusively Star Wars merchandise....and lots of it.

from Star Wars toys, to collectables to boutique style clothing. its a Star Wars fans dreamland.

my boys' favorite thing was the build your own lightsaber section – where you can build the lightsaber of your dreams. you choose the color, the feature and the blade. you can imagine how hard it was to get my boys to leave this area. to the left of The Star Trader, you will come to Tomorrowland Theater where you can see "Path of the Jedi", a short compilation of the Star Wars saga. plus they also show the trailer to the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. my husband especially loved this, and i really enjoyed seeing a round-up of all the Star Wars films since i haven't seen all of them yet. big contrast from my husband and boys who have seen them all multiple times.

next up was my personal favorite part of Season of the Force, Hyperspace Mountain. the beloved Space Mountain ride has been transformed into a Star Wars adventure.

you get to take a space ship into outer space and be a part of the action. there are Star Wars in the sky and awesome Star Wars music throughout the ride. Space Mountain is like a whole new ride with and awesome sound track!

after you ride Hyperspace Mountain, you need to head over to the Star Wars Launch Bay. it is located in the lower level of Carousel Theater which previously hosted the Carousel of Progress, America Sings, and most recently, Innoventions.

walk on in....you are about to be amazed with some Star Wars awesomeness.

Star Wars Launch Bay, is full of Star Wars experiences – from character encounters, video games, authentic replicas of film props to Star Wars merchandise and more!

filling most of the space are many display cases with movie memorability, costumes and models. so much, we didn't have time to check it all out.

you can sit and relax while watching films about Star Wars...
or you can head over to the Star Wars Game Center, and play Disney Infinity to your hearts content. you can even play with the new Star Wars figures. the Star Wars Launch Bay Cargo area has lots of Star Wars merchandise for purchase, much of which is exclusive to Disneyland Resort.
plus there is a great selection of boutique style items and room decor. can somebody please get me this cute purse for Christmas?and there are lots of great items like this Star Wars sand box filled with kinetic sand and small Star Wars figurines.
the movie grade costumes really impressed the boys.and a life-sized replica of Yoda watched my boys as the shopped for Star Wars souvenirs. then there are the character experiences. you can meet Darth Vader and Chewbacca, and even ask them questions are snap a quick picture.it was so much fun to see the boys interact with Darth Vader. as you can see, Vann had to hide for a minute.

the boys had so much fun in the Star Wars Launch Bay that is was hard to get them to leave. there is so much to see that we will definitely be back again and again this season.

finally, when you visit Season of the Force at Disneyland, you are going to want to go on an empty stomach. probably the most exciting thing of all is the new Galactic Grill. located in the heart of Tomorrowland, the Galactic Grill hosts an exclusive menu that is sure to excite Star Wars lovers. from the Cheese 3-PO to the Chopper Salad, there is a Star Wars meal perfect for any Jedi.

you have never seen kids so excited to eat as mine were to try all of the Star Wars inspired food. it was a real treat. Jackson got the "First Order" specialty burger, complete with a dark bun.there are lots of fun options...you got to check them out on this Galactic Grill menu.

the hubby and i got these awesome Dark Side/Light Side drinks. the hubby got The Light Side, which had popping bobas and a light-up Millennium Falcon, and i got The Dark Side which has a light-up Death Star. i guess you could say we each got our personalities LOL.

and don't forget to get dessert. there are some yummy options...i highly recommend Darth By Chocolate!

and besides the Star Wars food items you can get at the Galactic Grill, the food carts around Tomorrowland also have some fun food items to indulge your Star Wars Sweet tooth.

from the cute bb-8 driod drink sipper...

to Chewbacca popcorn tubs....
to this Han Solo Carbonite Bucket!

there is so much fun going on when it comes to the Star Wars food at Disneyland Resort.

we had the best time checking out the new Season of the Force at Disneyland Resort. the boys have told me over and over since our visit that they had the best time. it feels so good to be able to share this special experience with them.

Season of the Force opens November 16, 2015 and will continue throughout the holidays. it's always fun when new adventures open at the park and we are super excited to visit again and again.
