Star Wars Trading Post has moved from the former Wonderground Gallery (which has now returned!) to the former Rainforest Cafe, now open from February 19th. I heard stories of four hour waits so I went early to Downtown Disney, 8 a.m. I was second in line. By 9 a.m. the queue went down to the street. I headed straight to Star Wars Trading Post, there was a queue with social distancing markers, but I followed them to the entrance and was let right in. I heard that there was a virtual queue that was hours later. I would recommend going early if you can. There is some theming with antennae, netting, and Rey’s speeder outside. Several areas inside continue the theming with a screen, a console with buttons, cables, and some boxes. Right inside is a ticket dispenser if you want to go to the lightsaber table. There you can see an opened box with a training remote replica. To the right is a replica closed hover pram with Baby Yoda stuffies in a box. To the right is Droid Depot merch, figures and Astromech Personality Chips, and to the left is Savi’s Workshop merch, shirts, pins and patches.
In the center of the store is Galaxy’s Edge merch, shirts and ornaments. Continue on past the registers is Imperial and First Order gear, towards the end of the store is Baby Yoda merch, and the left rear wall is all of the Creature Stall beasties, I did see a display of Dianogas, kinda cool. In a corner is some Imperial and bounty hunter shirts. Sorry no food items, no Ronto Wraps or Blue Milk. A little walk from there is the Lego Store, outside is a Lego statue of Chewbacca. Continuing on, we will enter Disney’s California Adventure, Buena Vista Street. The Red Car Trolley has been moved right next to the entrance. The open gate next to the waterfall is where you can get a good look at the back of Avengers Campus and get some popcorn and drinks. Heading left is Hollywood Land, past Award Weiners, is the Sunset Showcase Theater. This is at Mickey’s PhilharMagic. The marquee features WandaVision. Once you queue up, you can head in for a WandaVision photo op. There are stacks of televisions from different eras. You set your cellphone or camera in a slot in the back of the televisions. Set timer and take the photo op on a couch right out of WandaVision! There is some good reasons to make a visit to Downtown Disney!
