Meta Quest Virtual Reality Experience featuring Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is located in Disney Springs West Side, near House of Blues.

There is no cost and admission is first come, first served. Children must be age 13 or older to participate.

Appointments were still available when we arrived at 5 pm. We booked 8:30 pm which was the first available appointment we could select.

Standby is available during the day. By 6 pm, they had stopped taking standby guests for the evening.

Only those with appointments were able to go in.

You can make an appointment to go inside by scanning a QR code at the entrance. You should do this as soon as you arrive at Disney Springs.

You’ll be asked for the number of people who want to try it out. If you have 2 people that want do it, be sure you make an appointment for 2. Do not include people who just want to observe.

You’ll need to fill out a waiver before you can begin. It takes only a minute to complete.

There’s a few minutes of set up and a brief tutorial on how it works. You are free to stop at any time.

The mission takes about 15 minutes to complete. You can trade off with other people in your party if others want to try it out.

In my son’s mission, we had to go on an galactic adventure through a forest in search of a crate of ingredients. There’s more to the quest, but no spoilers here, sorry!

MagicBands were introduced in 2013 along with the MyMagic+ program, also called My Disney Experience. If you haven’t noticed, Disney likes to create multiple names for basically the same thing: Disney Genie+ / Lightning Lane and Memory Maker / PhotoPass are good examples. It’s not that MagicBands are bad in anyway, in fact they are neat little gadgets. It’s just that we don’t need them anymore, they're outdated. Today most park people are using their smartphones instead. Yep, your phone comes with a hidden MagicBand inside. Smartwatches too. Disney World MagicMobile uses the wallet feature in your phone. If you've used your phone to pay for items in a grocery store or to board a flight, you have already used your phone’s wallet technology. If you haven’t used the your phone’s wallet feature yet, that’s ok! Disney’s app will walk you through the setup process in just a few steps. 📱 See the full article here (it's free!) https://orlandoparksguy.com/blog/magicbands-magicmobile #orlandoparksguy #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #magicband #disneyvacation #wdw #disneyparks #mydisneyvacation
