May 4th Is a BIG Day for Disney's Hollywood Studios Fans, and We'll Be GLUED to Our Phones

May the 3rd be with you! Oh wait, too early…but, we do have some important news if you will be heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios tomorrow, May 4th, in celebration of Star Wars Day.

It is almost Star Wars Day!

If you are hoping to get your hands on some special Star Wars Day merchandise during your day at Hollywood Studios, you will want to read this post! It is very important, trust us.

May 4th is also known as Star Wars Day, because May the 4th be with you! The special day is fast approaching, and we want you to be prepared to celebrate. Hollywood Studios has various special offerings, including exclusive merchandise. However, if you are hoping to buy some merchandise, you will need to plan ahead a bit.

Rise of the Resistance

Hollywood Studios will be utilizing a virtual queue for its May the 4th Merchandise Event. This virtual queue will be very similar to the virtual queue you would get for TRON Lightcycle / Run or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We have also seen this type of queue recently for the Hollywood Studios 35th Anniversary Merchandise Event. You must have valid theme park admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios (including a park reservation if applicable). You will be able to join the virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app beginning at 7AM ET on May 4th, 2024. You can join the queue from anywhere.

Hollywood Studios 35th Anniversary Event

You will ONLY be able to join the queue at 7AM, there will be no option to join the queue at 1PM. So, make sure you are up early in the morning if you want to shop the merchandise. We do also want to note that getting a virtual queue does not guarantee access to the event or that the merchandise you want will be available. The merchandise is all subject to availability, so just keep that in mind.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Here are a few tips on joining a virtual queue:

Download the My Disney Experience app and ensure location services are turned on. Visit the “Virtual Queues” section in the app to begin.
Make sure your valid park admission is linked in the My Disney Experience App (and you have a park reservation, if applicable). Also, make sure you are linked with everyone in your party who wants to attend the merchandise event.
You can join starting at 7AM ET and you do NOT need to be at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to join. We recommend starting to refresh the page a bit prior to 7AM to make sure you are ready right when the clock strikes 7AM.

We hope you have a wonderful time during Star Wars Day, and May the 4th be with you! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news!
