Updated: Premium packages for Star Wars Weekends booking now
Disney has quietly started booking three premium packages for Star Wars Weekends, which run May 15-June 14 this year. The weekends are notoriously crowded — some serious fans sleep on the sidewalk overnight to get into the park first; some stake out a shady spot for the morning motorcade hours in advance; and lines for Darth’s Mall average about 2 hours. Yes, that’s 2 hours to wait in line to go shopping. So it makes a lot of sense to pay a little extra to get special access to these popular attractions.
Three experiences are currently available. If you’re interested, book soon; the Premium Packages are filling up up fast.
Feel the Force Premium Package ($69 for adults)
Children (3-9): $39
- Legends of the Force: Star Wars Celebrity Motorcade viewing experience, where you get a prime spot to watch the motorcade and enjoy beverages and snacks (included).
- Reserved seating for one of the Celebrity Talk Shows in Theater of the Stars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Show time will be selected at check-in.
- Symphony in the Stars fireworks dessert party, which gives you a prime spot to view the show and a Star Wars-themed dessert party, which includes specialty beverages (even an alcoholic version for guests who are 21 or older).
You can book the premium package online now.
Feel the Force Deluxe Premium Package ($99 for adults)
Children (3-9): $69
In addition to the above, the deluxe package includes:
- You can join the the Star Wars Celebrity Motorcade and follow it down the street.
- Reserved seating for ALL of the Celebrity Talk Shows in Theater of the Stars on the day of the package.
- Priority access to Darth’s Mall throughout the day of the package.

You can book the deluxe premium package by calling (407) WDW-DINE; this package can not be booked online
VIP Tour: The Ultimate Day at Star Wars Weekend ($399)
