According to Walt Disney World’s park reservation calendar, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has reached capacity for Annual Passholders on May 4, 2025.

May 4th, commonly known as Star Wars Day, has previously featured special entertainment and offerings. In recent years, however, the event has been limited to merchandise releases and themed snacks. Disney has not yet announced plans for this year’s Star Wars celebration at the park.

However, a new addition has been confirmed for Star Wars fans. Beginning May 4, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will introduce the “Reclaimed and Reforged” lightsaber experience at Savi’s Workshop. This new storyline, also featured at Disneyland’s Season of the Force, allows guests to build unique lightsabers using materials tied to the galaxy’s ancient conflicts and forgotten legends. The experience will be available while supplies last.

If you’re still hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 4th, you can book a reservation at another park and park hop to Hollywood Studios, or enter the park without a reservation after 2 pm. Checking the park reservation calendar regularly is also recommended, as Disney often adds additional capacity closer to sold-out dates.

Reservations for May 4th remain available for guests with regular park tickets and those staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

IMHO, its more of a wake in memory of what the franchise once was. We wont be sticking around for it this year.

If all those pesky people who complain about this one day nonsense filled with cupcakes and "special lightsaber sales" but remember when they held Star Wars Weekends would just die off... Bob and Josh would appreciate it.

Won’t even attempt to go there !

That park is going to be a mess with all the local APers flooding it with the detritus of their peanut butter sandwiches.

As long as it's whole wheat bread and natural peanut butter without any added sugar or salt, I don't see a problem. 😏

Why does the hat make it look like the Millennium Falcon was peed out of R2's robot body?

In an unsurprising turn of events, none of the merchandise appeals to me, a long-time SW fan. 🤷‍♂️

May the 4th 2025: New Star Wars Food, Buckets, and Sippers at Walt Disney World

The merch looks pretty solid. They do know what they are doing when they put their mind and resources to it.

I do agree that the reduction to one day vs. a period (with May 4 being the big day) is a strange choice. Even if it was the two weekends surrounding May 4 (or before/after if it falls on a weekend), you would think you would have better return - especially with the focus of most of their current target audiences.

Still feels incredibly weird they seem willing to throw money down the drain by ignoring May 4th. They're usually all over this sort of thing, why would you put so little effort into something people seem actually willing to spend money on.

It's right after the new season of Andor comes out, throw in a couple of Andor specific pieces of merch, a basic little storm troopers walking in a line through the park parade and you've got a few extra million quid profit every day for the week or two you run it for.

It commemorates the time the Millennium Falcon was an Exogorth's kidney stone.
