There are only a few months left before Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens at Disneyland and the park is clearly going out of its way to make sure it can accommodate all of the visitors who will be checking on the new expansion. Interestingly, Disneyland's enhancements in preparation for Galaxy's Edge is a cool reference to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland will undergo a refurbishment through spring. The blog noted that the refurbishment is part of Project Stardust, the series of enhancements that will ensure "a world-class guest experience" this summer.
The name of the project isn't lost to Star Wars fans. After all, Stardust was the nickname of Rogue One heroine Jyn Erso and also the code name for the Death Star schematics in the film. However, fans can rest assured that there are no plans to blow up Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland.
The blog also revealed what enhancements are being done to Disneyland ahead of the Galaxy's Edge opening.
"On Main Street, U.S.A., for example, curbs are being enhanced with slow inclines to help improve access when guests first enter. New brickwork adds to the storytelling of the iconic thoroughfare, and for the first time, the horse-drawn streetcar track was replaced in its entirety. In Fantasyland, reconfigured guest queues for Matterhorn Bobsleds, 'it's a small world' and Dumbo the Flying Elephant have improved guest access and comfort, while Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland now welcomes guests to a brand new area that was previously underutilized," the report read.
There is little doubt that Galaxy's Edge will bring in hundreds of new visitors this year. It's great to know that Disneyland is doing all it can to prepare everyone for a truly immersive experience.
