As a child of the 80s, Star Wars brings a sense of nostalgia. I spent many Sunday afternoons watching the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS at my grandparent's house with cousins, and many summer days running around my neighborhood with school friends playing "Star Wars". One of my first Disney memories, and the most ingrained, was a visit to Disneyland in the late 80s when the Star Tours attraction had just opened. My family waited in a VERY long line to experience this super high tech attraction. It was ahead of its time and out of this world.
When Oga's Cantina, part of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, opened, I was eager to check it out. Oga's Cantina, along with the other new Star Wars attractions can be found inside Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World or Disneyland Park at Disneyland. Since it's opening I have been there a handful of times. While I have personally enjoyed each visit, reviews for this watering hole have been mixed. Here's a few things I think you should know before planning your visit so you can arrive ready to make the most of your experience.
Disney describes Oga's Cantina as a "local cantina, where bounty hunters, smugglers, rogue traders, and weary travelers of all ages come together to refuel, enjoy music, and conduct meetings—no questions asked." This stand up bar is located just outside of Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run, which makes it a it's a great spot to grab a drink right after taking a ride on the fastest ship in the galaxy.
You'll need a reservation. Reservations can be made up to 60 days prior to your visit.
Oga's Cantina is a stand up bar. You are visiting for a drink or two. Don't arrive expecting a meal.
There's limited seating. Guests will be taken to a stand up table, counter space at the bar, and a few guests will be seated at tables.
Spaces are not private. You will most likely be grouped with other parties.
You are limited to two drinks and 45 minutes for your stay.
Be sure to view the menu prior to your visit. The menu can be found on the Walt Disney World or Disneyland website as well as on your mobile device by visiting the my Disney experience app. There are fun galactic drinks for guest of ALL ages. (My kids love the Carbon Freeze, this drink uses dry ice to create bubbles.)
Manage your expectations prior to your visit. This stand up bar is an experience. Some guests question a time limit, drink limit and community seating, but keep in mind you are there to experience the Cantina. Enjoy a creative concoction, take in the scenery, say hi to your table-mates. When you are done you can always grab a bite to eat and a private table at a the quick service Star Wars restaurant Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, which does not require a reservation and is located very close by.
