Disney World’s Hollywood Studios Has a Brand New ‘Star Wars’ Offering

Securing a spot at Oga’s Cantina has long been one of the trickier parts of a Disney’s Hollywood Studios day. Now there’s another way to taste what the galaxy’s most infamous bar has to offer.

Tucked inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Oga’s Cantina asks visitors to slip into the role of a bounty hunter, smuggler, or road-worn traveler stopping in before the next leg of a galactic journey. Longtime fans will recognize the DJ: R-3X, who once piloted the Starspeeder 3000 in the original Star Tours. Proprietor Oga Garra keeps her unpredictable crowd in line with a strict code of conduct.

There’s something on the menu for every age. Those of legal drinking age can order the Jedi Mind Trick cocktail, Bad Motivator IPA, or Toniray wine.

Booking and Check-In Basics

Walt Disney World strongly recommends booking ahead, since space is tight and separate theme park admission for Hollywood Studios is required. Your whole party has to be there at check-in, which opens no earlier than 15 minutes before your reservation, and you’ll need your confirmation email, photo ID, and the card used to book. Arrive late, and you may not be seated.

Once inside, expect to stand, as seating is limited. Each party gets 45 minutes, which some guests have recently voiced frustration over. You must be 21 or older with valid photo ID to buy alcohol, and there’s a two-drink maximum per guest. Disney also notes that offerings, prices, and experiences can change or be canceled without notice.

The New To-Go Option

Here’s the news for anyone who would rather skip the full visit. Oga’s Cantina has added a to-go service, so guests can collect drinks and stroll through Galaxy’s Edge with them.

According to photos from WDWNT, the dedicated line sits just right of the hostess stand, set off by roped stanchions and brown banners labeled the Oga’s To-Go Queue. Mobile ordering isn’t available, so you’ll join the queue and order face to face with a cast member.

The full menu appears when you order, but only drinks can be taken to go, and food isn’t part of the service. The two-drink limit carries over, tallied per form of ID.

Your drink will come in a plastic cup rather than the distinctive glassware served inside. Ordering something that normally arrives in a souvenir mug? You’ll still sip it from plastic, but a brand-new, packaged mug comes along separately for the trip home.

For a quick taste of Batuu between rides, the to-go queue is the easier play. For the music, the atmosphere, and the full cantina theatrics, a reservation is still the way in.

Thomas Hitchen

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his… More »
