There have been a few complicated open-ended refurbishments to Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance and Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Each now have reopening dates, returning earlier than the impending unique trilogy timeline adjustments. Right here’s the most recent in regards to the closures, what to anticipate and no longer be expecting.
Let’s get started with Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance, which closed for refurbishment again on January 20, 2026. We prior to now showed with Disney that there’ll NOT be any tale adjustments to Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance right through the refurbishment. That is purely common, regimen upkeep that’s unrelated to the unique trilogy timeline adjustments (mentioned under). The timing of the downtime is totally coincidental.
Disney additionally suggested that the Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance was once anticipated to closing just a few weeks, despite the fact that a reopening date was once by no means supplied nor was once one added to the calendar when the flagship experience went down. On the contrary, Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance was once indexed as closed for refurbishment as some distance out because the reputable calendar is going. Between this and a big set of development partitions going up round Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance, we have been slightly anxious this was once in reality going to be a long closure. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case!
Disney has now added up to date the Disneyland refurbishment calendar, and Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance will reopen on February 13, 2026. The flagship experience closure is indexed as finishing on Thursday, February 12, 2026; the experience can be open on Friday!
As we ceaselessly warning, this calendar isn’t all the time right kind. For no matter reason why, Disney ceaselessly inputs boilerplate hours within the calendar, which can lead to finish dates (or the dearth thereof) mirrored within the reputable calendar being faulty.
We noticed this just lately on a couple of events with the long Large Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment, and there were numerous different examples during the last 12 months or so of the reputable calendar being incorrect. We’ve been burned via it many, time and again.
The secret’s that you’ll’t all the time depend on this calendar, particularly for finish dates that seem to increase past hours which can be lately posted. It’s about 50/50 with such initiatives. Alternatively, that virtually all the time applies to scenarios like what we prior to now noticed, and not using a hours indexed for far away dates in March. Or the calendar advancing and revealing a reopening date within the far away long term.
In a circumstance like that with Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance, the place the reopening date is abruptly the next day to come, the calendar is sort of indubitably right kind. That reopening date was once added deliberately. The chance of the calendar being correct is 90% or upper, and to the level it’s in all probability faulty, it’s the imprecise risk of an previous cushy opening. (Additionally not likely until the development partitions are already down when Disneyland opens nowadays.)
That is what we prior to now predicted for Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance’s reopening date, so it shouldn’t be an enormous surprise.
As we wrote earlier than, the most likely goal to reopen RotR is earlier than Presidents’ Day weekend. We’ve indexed February 13-23, 2026 as one of the most 10 Worst Weeks at Disneyland in 2026, which is because of Presidents’ Day/Mid-Iciness Damage/Ski Week/Mardi Gras.
Between this customary wintry weather destroy for lots of California faculty districts and the competitive price ticket deal, that may be one of the most worst 5 weeks of the 12 months. As defined in our prior posts, Disneyland would do the entirety conceivable to have Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance reopen on or earlier than February 13, 2026 because of this. Undertaking achieved!
We’re happy to peer Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance getting some TLC. The experience has a rocky document since its opening in early 2020, however uptime has normally stepped forward over the previous few years. A part of the cause of this is bizarre–simply normally getting the appeal firing on all cylinders.
Even supposing Disneyland restored the shifting cannon impact that have been damaged for ~3 years, it nonetheless breaks so much–as do different results. Upward thrust of the Resistance will surely take pleasure in the refurbishment.
Once more, don’t be expecting any substantive adjustments to Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance when it reopens. As prior to now famous via Disneyland, the forested house at the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost will proceed to constitute a time impressed via the Age of the Resistance. That means you’ll nonetheless to find Rey round this Resistance camp, and the entirety else it’s essential to see nowadays. It’s the opposite fringe of Galaxy’s Edge that’s seeing the unique trilogy adjustments beginning on April 29, 2026.
Talking of which, if you ignored it, Disneyland will “release” and amplify the timeline of Superstar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on April 29, 2026. Even supposing the Upward thrust of the Resistance and Oga’s Cantina initiatives (under) seem to coincide with the new announcement of the unique trilogy timeline shift on Batuu, that is most commonly coincidental. Right here’s a rundown of the important thing adjustments which can be coming as a part of the tale updates:
- Rolling again the timeline and produce new storylines to lifestyles on Batuu, spanning more than one eras of the planet’s wealthy historical past. Those updates will make the Galactic Civil Struggle and New Republic, in addition to the Age of the Resistance and First Order, a part of the tale in Superstar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
- Introducing Darth Vader, Han Solo, Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker as everlasting population of Batuu, along with present characters (albeit in their very own ‘areas’ of the land to maintain thematic integrity to the best extent conceivable).
- The addition of loved rankings from mythical composer John Williams, pulling subject matters from the primary six motion pictures.
- Updates to constructions and stores all the way through the land, together with the set up of latest props and graphics to raised replicate a broader historical past of Batuu with the brand new storylines.
After all, a handy guide a rough replace on Oga’s Cantina, which additionally now has a reopening date. We already up to date the 2026 Disneyland Refurbishment Calendar to replicate this, so it’s no longer precisely new-news…
The opposite large ongoing Superstar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge refurbishment that began on January 20, 2026 is Oga’s Cantina, the Superstar Wars Bar.
We now know that Oga’s Cantina will reopen on March 14, 2026. The calendar has additionally been up to date for that bar, indicating that the closing date of the closure is March thirteenth. That’s no longer coincidental timing, both. Oga’s Cantina is reopening simply in time for the busy Spring Damage season.
Much less notable, however Jat Kaa’s Coolers: J1-KC at Resistance Clearing (it’s a snack stand) can also be closed via February 14, 2026.
With Oga’s Cantina, it’s once more our figuring out that that is in large part a regimen refurbishment involving usual upkeep. There have been lets in closing 12 months involving this house that advised slightly mundane development.
Disneyland has additionally showed that Imagineering and Lucasfilm groups will make updates associated with the impending growth of the Superstar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge timeline right through the closure of Oga’s Cantina.
What this would entail is totally unclear to us. In relation to different retail and eating places in Superstar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Imagineering and Lucasfilm indicated that lots of the updates would fear graphics, new props and artifacts, and different updates to support the timeline shift.
In relation to Oga’s Cantina, Disney already showed that the tale would shift and that visitors will be capable of listen the enduring “Cantina Band” observe from the unique Superstar Wars. Within the technology of the Galactic Civil Struggle, owner Oga Garra handiest just lately opened this watering hollow, which is already turning into a well-liked spot for intergalactic vacationers as she appears to amplify her empire.
It is a vital departure from the prevailing backstory, through which Oga is a seasoned crime boss who had run the cantina for many years and regulated maximum of Black Spire Outpost from the shadows. Alternatively, it’s no longer a big departure from the bodily development, which has a coarse previous.
This timeline shift coupled with the closure ostensibly gives the chance for bodily adjustments within the Superstar Wars bar. In line with the backstory, the bar was once made over two decades previous, which gives latitude for Lucasfilm and WDI to make no matter adjustments to Oga’s Cantina that they may need. The probabilities are thrilling!
To not be a debbie downer, however the most likely truth is so much much less so. Truthfully, I might no longer be expecting a complete lot to switch at Oga’s Cantina. My robust trust is that each the Superstar Wars: Upward thrust of the Resistance and Oga’s Cantina refurbishments are totally coincidental to the timeline shift. Once more, lets in have been filed for the bar months in the past, and have been most commonly regimen paintings like ground and again of space updates.
The staff operating at the latter will profit from the downtime to make some refined or token adjustments to the Superstar Wars bar, however any individual hoping or anticipating Oga’s Cantina to be reimagined into Mos Eisley Cantina right through the downtime is destined for sadness. We’ll stay you posted.
