Over 600 Anaheim Children Enjoyed an Unforgettable Experience at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

This week, over 600 Anaheim children enjoyed an unforgettable experience at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The kids were given the opportunity to explore this all-new land and all that it has to offer.

The kids, from many non-profit organizations in Anaheim, were invited to explore Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on Thursday afternoon. The organizations included the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Boys and Girls Club. This was a whole new experience for all involved as previously, only VIPs, cast members and their guests and the news media had been permitted to enter the land.

The kids were able to spend 4 hours building their very own lightsabers, eating in the new restaurants, exploring the shops and of course, riding the newest attraction – Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.  The kids also had some great photo opportunities with the iconic ship and beloved Star Wars characters including Stormtroopers, Chewbacca, and even Rey!

Many of the kids came by bus to visit the park but a few were so close that they were able to walk! Some of the kids had never visited Disneyland Resort before. The Anaheim YMCA CEO, Rick Martens, points out that for many of these kids, it was a “life-changing experience” to come to the park for even one day. Martens said that the YMCA After-School program helps 7,000 of Anaheim’s neediest kids, including 180 homeless children.

What a wonderful way to encourage a love of Star Wars in these younglings, giving them an unforgettable first look at the land of Batuu!
