Disneyland Paris for Star Wars Fans: The Force Is Strong Here
You don’t need to go to a galaxy far, far away…
…Disneyland Paris has everything a Star Wars fan could dream of, right here on Earth!
Now, we aren’t the biggest Star Wars fans (don’t come for us, please!), but we can definitely appreciate a job well done—and Disneyland Paris has absolutely nailed it.
No matter if you’re a lifelong Jedi enthusiast or just starting your journey to the dark side, Disneyland Paris has an incredible lineup of attractions, experiences, and merch to fuel your Star Wars obsession.
While you won’t spend every second battling Stormtroopers, you’ll definitely find more than enough to keep your Star Wars theme alive from morning till night.
From incredible rides to themed snacks and out-of-this-world souvenirs, Disneyland Paris has nailed it.
Here’s everything at Disneyland Paris for Star Wars fans
If you’re a Star Wars fan planning a trip to Disneyland Paris, you’re in for an intergalactic treat. Here are some tips and tricks to maximise the experience.
Stay at a Futuristic Hotel
Okay, so it’s not technically Star Wars-themed, but hear me out. Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is the closest you’ll get to galactic vibes without booking a private jet to Galaxy’s Edge in the US.
The sleek, superhero-inspired décor and futuristic touches will have you feeling ready to take on Darth Vader (or maybe just the queues) before you even set foot in the parks.
Plus, it’s just a short walk to the magic, so you can easily go from battling Thanos (figuratively) to taking on the Empire in record time.
If you’re after a budget-friendly option with Star Wars theming, Ki Space Hotel & Spa might just be the droid you’re looking for. It’s a short drive from Disneyland Paris and has a sleek, minimalist design that’ll have you feeling like you’re chilling on a starship (minus the stormtroopers).
The rooms are roomy enough for any budding Jedi, and there’s even a spa—because, let’s face it, taking on the dark side can be exhausting.
Star Wars Attractions at Disneyland Paris
Disneyland Paris has 2 fantastic Star Wars rides that will transport you straight into the galaxy. Here’s what you can’t miss:
Hyperspace Mountain
Take the legendary Space Mountain and throw in X-Wings, TIE fighters, and John Williams’ epic soundtrack, and you’ve got Hyperspace Mountain. This high-speed roller coaster puts you right in the middle of a galactic battle, and it’s every bit as thrilling as it sounds.
Pro tip: Ride during parade times or late in the evening to avoid long queues.
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
This 3D motion simulator is a must for any Star Wars fan. With randomized scenes, you’ll never know where the Force will take you—maybe to Hoth, Tatooine, or even an audience with Darth Vader.
Pro tip: Aim for a middle seat for the best 3D experience, and watch out for Yoda’s surprise
Meet and Greets with Star Wars Characters
No Star Wars trip is complete without a run-in with some intergalactic icons, and right now at Starport in Discoveryland, you can meet none other than The Mandalorian himself—and yes, Grogu is tagging along.
Din Djarin’s skills are impressive, but let’s be honest, we’re all here for Baby Yoda’s big eyes and tiny ears.
This is your chance to snap a photo with the galaxy’s coolest duo before they jet off on their next mission.
Check the Disneyland Paris app for their schedule—these two don’t hang around long, and you don’t want to miss the chance to say hi.
Star Wars Inspired Dining
Alright, so there’s no Star Wars restaurant at Disneyland Paris (yet—looking at you, Disney Imagineers), but that doesn’t mean you’ll go hungry for galactic-inspired treats.
There are plenty of clever bites around the parks to keep your Star Wars theme alive, and honestly, some of them are just too good to pass up.
Café Hyperion
Café Hyperion in Discoveryland is where you can grab a bite while watching Star Wars clips on giant screens—it’s like dinner and a movie, but faster.
If you’re feeling peckish, go for the BB-8urger, loaded with bacon, onions, and cheddar. It’s hearty, tasty, and exactly what you need after zipping through Hyperspace Mountain.
Grogu Biscuit
This one’s for the Grogu fans. Head over to Cool Station and grab the pistachio and chocolate-hazelnut Grogu biscuit.
It’s cute, it’s delicious, and it’s an excellent excuse to stop and refuel while exploring Discoveryland.
Darth Vader Waffle
If you’re wandering near Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, swing by Rocket Café for a Darth Vader waffle. It’s a fun snack that tastes as good as it looks—and let’s face it, biting into Vader feels oddly satisfying.
Boba Fett Shortbread
For those of us who can’t say no to something sweet, the Boba Fett shortbread is a winner. Chocolate-filled and decorated with the bounty hunter’s helmet, it’s almost too cool to eat… almost.
Shopping for Star Wars Souvenirs
Star Traders
Next to Hyperspace Mountain, this shop has everything from lightsabers to Grogu shoulder buddies and Star Wars Mickey ears. If you’re after a custom lightsaber, this is where you’ll want to stop.

It’s a great spot for unique goodies you won’t see elsewhere.
