First Look at the Costumes for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland

As we get closer to the opening of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, we got a look at the costumes for this exciting new land. The costumes are nothing short of exciting and game changing. Calling it "Mix and Match" the costumes can be combined with different pants and tops and can be accessorized with various hats, jackets and scarves. This will allow Cast Members around 20 variations for each costume. The planet of Batuu will come alive with each of its citizens. Let's take a look at the various costumes we will see.

First, we were treated to the costumes that will be worn by the custodial Cast Members. Gone are the all familiar white costumes and here the custodial Cast Members will seamlessly blend into this remote outpost.

Next up were the costumes for the female citizens of Batuu which I believe are for the merchandise Cast Members. All of the materials used are soft and lightweight and breathable which should make it comfortable even during the summer months on Batuu.

Then came the male costumes for the citizen of Batuu. The individual styles of each Cast Member really shine and will make Batuu feel like a real place.

Star Wars Lands Coming to Disney Hollywood Studios and Disneyland

Star Wars-Themed Lands Coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Aug. 15, 2015) – Today at the D23 EXPO 2015, The Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced to an audience of more than 7,500 fans that Star Wars-themed lands will be coming to Disneyland park in Anaheim, Calif., and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., allowing Star Wars fans to step into the stories from a galaxy far, far away. 

Ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life in the two parks include creating Disney’s largest single themed land expansions ever at 14 acres each, transporting guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life.  

"I am thrilled to announce the next chapter in the long and exciting history between Disney Parks and Star Wars,” said Iger.  “We are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single themed land expansion ever.  These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.” 

These authentic lands will have two signature attractions.  Along with the thrilling battle experience, another attraction puts guests behind the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, as they take on a customized secret mission.

Iger also shared concept images of the Star Wars-themed lands, giving fans a glimpse at what is to come for Disney parks.

The partnership between Disney and Lucasfilm dates back to 1987, when the successful Star Tours attraction, inspired by George Lucas’s legendary Star Wars film series, opened at Disneyland.  The attraction was then redesigned, emerging as “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue” in 2011 and featuring more than 50 different story outcomes and the possibility to visit five different planets.

For 60 years, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has been delighting millions of people with fantastic storytelling, exceptional entertainment and extraordinary experiences, creating places where guests can make life-long memories with their friends and families.  This announcement marks an unprecedented time of growth with exciting developments happening around the world – from Disneyland Resort’s Diamond Celebration to the anticipated opening of Shanghai Disney Resort in China.  

Disneyland Trip Report (1/10/14) - Subs - Star Wars Land - and Simply Looking Up!

The first Disneyland Trip Report for 2014 is here! Just another lovely day at Disneyland! Don't you wish you were here? Well, sit back, enjoy your cup or coffee or tea and take a look at Disneyland on a beautiful day!

Watching one of the Disneyland artists hard at work in the Disneyland Gallery on Main Street!

Never looked up to notice this before. Maybe I should look up more often! I sense a trend coming up!

Love this Disneyland model showing how the park looked on Opening Day. You can find this in the lobby of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

Here you can see one of the benches from Griffith Park but at The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco you can sit on one of the benches!

Closer look at the plaque on the bench!

One of the original merry-go-round horses from Griffith Park.

A closer look at the plaque!

Love this display! Once again one of those you must look up to notice!

Feels so much like 1950s Disneyland classic!

How can you not take a photo of the Partners Statue?

How much longer will we see this as the entrance into Tomorrowland? The rumor is that the entrance into Tomorrowland will once again be opened up and not creating the pinch point that the rockwork and the Astro-Orbitor cause now.

Trying to be artistic. Didn't quite work!

Walking by the Matterhorn and thinking about the Star Wars Land rumors for Tomorrowland inspired me to take this photo. If the rumors prove themselves to be true and Subs and Autopia both close to make way for the moon of Endor area, then the transition from the forest of Endor to the forest of the Matterhorn will be fairly flawless!

Can't you just see the Ewok Village with meet and greets and maybe an awesome BBQ place for meats and such found on Endor?

Are the subs truly down for a rehab or just not coming back?

Are our subs going the way of Walt Disney World's?

So sad to think of the subs possibly going away forever.

One of my favorite subs.

Looking at the exit of the caverns.

The hatch is open inviting us inside!

Even the seagulls on the buoy are gone.

Love this shot with the ferns.

Sad to not see the waterfalls running.

One last look at the subs for now.

But as one attraction is getting ready for a massive rehab or a permanent closure, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is getting ready to re-open next month. I can't wait to go back on the Wildest Ride in The Wilderness!

A quiet day along the Rivers of America.

Fantasmic is down for a refurb right now. So weird to see people working on the infrastructure and surrounded by water.

Jack is making his way out of the mansion.

Looking up allowed me to find this Hidden Mickey in Adventureland.

I found all of these wonderful trinkets by looking up!

They need to sell these spears! Ok not really!

More observations by simply looking up!

I found the genie's lamp. What wishes should I make?

As a huge Mary Poppins fan I can't believe how many times I must have missed this display. The Bert doll looks way too much like Dick Van Dyke. Very cool and creepy at the same time!

You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! I love this Peter Pan display!

On last thing to notice by simply looking up! The light is of course on in Walt's apartment!

Hope you enjoyed this look at Disneyland! Look for more trip reports in the near future!
