May 4, 2025, Star Wars Day at Disney's Hollywood Studios Reaches Capacity for Annual Passholders

Posted: Monday March 24, 2025 11:06am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

According to Walt Disney World’s park reservation calendar, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has reached capacity for Annual Passholders on May 4, 2025.

May 4th is currently at capacity for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders

May 4th, commonly known as Star Wars Day, has previously featured special entertainment and offerings. In recent years, however, the event has been limited to merchandise releases and themed snacks. Disney has not yet announced plans for this year’s Star Wars celebration at the park.

However, a new addition has been confirmed for Star Wars fans. Beginning May 4, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will introduce the “Reclaimed and Reforged” lightsaber experience at Savi’s Workshop. This new storyline, also featured at Disneyland’s Season of the Force, allows guests to build unique lightsabers using materials tied to the galaxy’s ancient conflicts and forgotten legends. The experience will be available while supplies last.

If you’re still hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 4th, you can book a reservation at another park and park hop to Hollywood Studios, or enter the park without a reservation after 2 pm. Checking the park reservation calendar regularly is also recommended, as Disney often adds additional capacity closer to sold-out dates.

Reservations for May 4th remain available for guests with regular park tickets and those staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

The more I look at the embroidery on the hat the worse it gets, it's incredibly poor quality.

Spend less money and go to Universal Studio's Fan Fest instead.

Ah yes, of course its a VQ. I'm being dragged there on the 4th despite my protests. I'm a star wars fan but have zero desire to be there that day. It'd be different if it was an actual thing with special events and such, but nothing is going on, just expensive merch and hoards of people wearing their best target star wars t-shirts.

Don't forget a couple of cringe-worthy photos of said merchandise. The Hoth recreation and the guy trying to look ... I don't even know. "Hold out your hand like you are reaching for your phone... Perfect!!! *click*"

Imagine paying theme park admission of $100+ to be able to join a VQ and then wait in line to buy overpriced merch, which will likely be sold out by the time you get a chance to actually buy it, all made in factory by people making $1 per day, all based on a once beloved franchise that the company you're buying it from completely ruined.

It commemorates the time the Millennium Falcon was an Exogorth's kidney stone.

Still feels incredibly weird they seem willing to throw money down the drain by ignoring May 4th. They're usually all over this sort of thing, why would you put so little effort into something people seem actually willing to spend money on. It's right after the new season of Andor comes out, throw in a couple of Andor specific pieces of merch, a basic little storm troopers walking in a line through the park parade and you've got a few extra million quid profit every day for the week or two you run it for.

The merch looks pretty solid. They do know what they are doing when they put their mind and resources to it. I do agree that the reduction to one day vs. a period (with May 4 being the big day) is a strange choice. Even if it was the two weekends surrounding May 4 (or before/after if it falls on a weekend), you would think you would have better return - especially with the focus of most of their current target audiences.
