The Meta Quest Virtual Reality Experience featuring ILMxLAB's StarWars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge Coming is now open at Disney Springs.


Located in the former NBA Experience building on the West Side, this new limited time experience gives you the chance to tryout the Quest 2 preview of Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge from May 2 through July 21 2022.


The hands-on preview showcases a short version of ILMxLAB’s virtual reality experience Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge. Once inside the Quest 2 headset, you are immersed within sweeping 360° views of the Star Wars galaxy. The adventure takes place on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, which you may be familiar with from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

There are ten gameplay booths, and a representative helps you get setup and explains the concept of the demo.

The experience takes about 15 minutes, including orientation and the actual 8 minutes of game play. A waiver is required to. be signed, and guests need to be aged 13 or older.

At the end of the demo, completing a short survey gets you a water bottle and a $25 discount on the purchase of the $300 VR system.

This complimentary preview experience is offered daily, 12pm to 10pm, next to City Works Eatery & Pour House at West Side.

Yeah, my misspellings show how much not a fan I am of Star Wars. So, I could care less...😏

I’ve seen multiple ads for this recently, during Hulu commercial breaks. Normally don’t pay attention to Hulu ads, and I had to see it a second time to figure out what was being advertised.

Such an odd size for the marquee.I guess they don't want you to know it's there...It's like the DVD Screensaver waiting to hit a corner..

Truth. The argument that people give for having to change EPCOT - that the "new" just isn't exciting any more - is so strange to me.

Zuck involved is a hard stop for me.

The whole thing is a publicity stunt for a Galaxy's Edge VR game Disney will start selling for the Meta Rift (or whatever they're calling it after they bought Oculus). I'm guessing they'll conveniently be selling the hardware & the game at some point in there

Believe it or not, it was still available until recently. There's one Cinemark movie theater in Dallas where they still had the Star Wars VR. It got closed due to covid, but they not only had the Star Wars Secrets of the Empire experience, they also had Wreck-it-Ralph: Ralph Breaks VR & where showcasing a trailer for The Avengers' Damage Control VR Experience, along with the things they had before like the Ghostbusters' VR Experience. The whole breakup with Disney in Orlando is weird

Ah! So swag for experiencing the commercial! That makes sense and also seems to clear up the question a few people had about who is paying who here. I wonder how many dish washes it would take to get that logo off... 😏

They are free!
