A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we used to NEVER be able to get reservations at this Disney World lounge. Oh, how times have changed!
Galaxy’s Edge
There’s been a shift in the force at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Do you feel it? What once was impossible to get into at Galaxy’s Edge, is now dryer than Tatooine. What once was the most hard to get reservation throughout all of Disney World, is now BEGGING people to step inside. Let’s talk about Oga’s Cantina!
When Galaxy’s Edge first opened at Hollywood Studios in 2019, everyone had to go check it out! For the very first time, Star Wars fans could live their dream of walking into a droid factory, exploring a market in the outer rim, checking out a space cantina, and flying the Millennium Falcon. That’s literally only to name a few things, because there are seriously so many details and things to check out in this land!
Savi’s Workshop
While everyone loved all that Galaxy’s Edge had to offer, the three most talked about things were Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and Oga’s Cantina. The two rides always saw high wait times (and continue to do so), while Oga’s Cantina was genuinely the hardest lounge to book a reservation for. Not just at Hollywood Studios, but at Disney World!

Since opening, you had to make sure you were ready to book a reservation at Oga’s Cantina as soon as the next window opened on the Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app. If you weren’t fast enough, all the time slots would get full. Walk-up wasn’t even a thing you’d think about, because you just most likely weren’t getting in if there were no reservations available.

It was like this for years and years…until now. There’s been a huge shift with this popular lounge, and when we say huge, we mean HUGE.
The drinks at Oga’s Cantina are so unique!
We recently went to Hollywood Studios, and what we’re about to tell you is something we would’ve NEVER imagined we’d see at this park. As we were strolling through Galaxy’s Edge, we saw Cast Members walking through Marketplace, advertising Oga’s Cantina, trying to get customers to come. Um…hold on…they were ADVERTISING Oga’s Cantina?! They were ASKING guests to come?!
What Will You Have?
As far as shocks go at Disney World, there aren’t many we’ve had like this one. Now, with the holidays just around the corner, we can’t imagine the popular Star Wars lounge will be empty like this for long. That being said, if you’re at Hollywood Studios or have a trip coming up, you might be able to get in easy-peasy. So, take advantage of it, especially if you’ve never been before!
Ohh secret menu item
The lounge is well known for its unique concoctions, and it has choices for kids and adults. You can try themed cocktails like the Fuzzy Tauntaun and Jet Juice, as well as non-alcoholic specialty drinks like the cookie-topped Blue Bantha. It’s definitely worth checking out.
Super yummy
