So, the day has come!  Galaxy’s Edge is opening to the public today.  Well, actually, only to the few who scored reservations.   The new guide maps available to pickup at the park gate are the new Millennium Force family cover with a new layout inside.  It looks like DCA still is going to be handing out the Disney PhilarMagic maps probably until the Festival of Lion King starts on June 7th.

Some notes on the new Disneyland map layout.

• The legend has been moved away from next to the map to the inside flap
• Space Mountain didn’t switch to the HyperSpace Mountain name like they did in the past.  It’s even advertised in the inside flap still as Space Mountain.

For those die hard collectors, they are also handing out a very high quality special edition Disneyland Map with an inside flap detailing the features of the new land and the new Disneyland Map on the inside.  I’ve been told these are being handed out one per person at the gate and I have yet to hear for how long.  Perhaps while supplies last?  Happy Collecting!

Interesting, Disney Fan Site Micechat posted a preview of the map that is supposedly coming out tomorrow and it features a painting of the land on the cover with beautiful metallic printing.  It also has an inside unlike any previous maps.  This is a different cover than the one displayed on the Disney Blog that featured a Father and Daughter in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.  Is this perhaps a one day map for the opening?  We’ll find out tomorrow.  Also, looks like there will be a merchandise and food guide for those diehard guide collectors.

Mickey’s Most Magical Map Yet! – Galaxy’s Edge New Park Map REVEALED!

Disneyland Blog posted a preview of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Map today.  The cover seems pretty boring to me but the land itself looks great in the map.

First Look: Guidemap for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park

 

Just a reminder, these new May maps are out with the new rule changes included inside.  This should be our last Disneyland map before it becomes Star Wars everything for what I’m sure will be years to come.   I’m hoping the Star Wars covers will at least be nice scenic shots of the land and not just Kylo Ren on the cover.  Fingers crossed.

Codes are DLR-050119-ENG and DCA-050119-ENG

Inside Scans:   Disneyland & DCA

Happy Collecting!
