Millennium Falcon Courtyard Hits Capacity During Star Wars Day at Disney World

Overview

• Cast members restricted entry to the Millennium Falcon courtyard Monday night after the plaza in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reached capacity.
• The gathering centered on an annual, unsanctioned lightsaber meetup that fans stage under the full‑scale Millennium Falcon.
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which sold out of park reservations for May 4, drew heavy attendance that funneled more guests into Galaxy’s Edge by evening.
• Limited‑time snacks and collectibles offered only for May the 4th pulled visitors to specific spots and kept many in the land longer.
• The restriction applied only to the courtyard, with rides, dining, and shops still open as staff managed entry and reopened space when guests left.
