No Downtown Disney trip is complete without visiting the Star Wars Trading Post! This was our first time visiting Disney since they acquired 20th Century Fox, which includes the Star Wars franchise, so we haven't seen all the Star Wars stuff yet until this visit. My dad is a huge Star Wars fan and he ended up passing his interest down to me. This would be his own candy store if I ever brought him down here. OMG, they have everything and anything Star Wars in here, including Grogu (my favorite character of them all). I ended up taking home a huge Grogu plush doll, which was on sale for about $20 off. I wanted to buy all the Grogu stuff but although he's adorable, I couldn't. I also bought a magnet to put on my car. My LTP got himself a Darth Maul ceramic cup, although he doesn't drink coffee. So basically this cup is just for show on his end. I noticed too late that they accept Disney gift cards (we both got one each specifically for this trip as a Christmas present). I have plenty of balance left and I hope to save it for our next trip here. I tried not to overdo on buying things, but the Grogu plush and the magnet were just enough for myself. You can also build your own lightsaber here, which is totally awesome. You can't miss this place if you're a huge Star Wars fan visiting the Downtown Disney District. Well worth coming here! May The Force Be With You. read more

First, I'm a big fan of the Star Wars franchise and grew up watching in the theater the first films that came out. Decades later, our grandchildren are now enjoying the storytelling and the marketing magic that continues to connect the generations to the age old story of hardship and despair and the story behind the power struggles. So, the Star Wars Trading Post is a small part that is taking advantage of the popularity of the franchise. They offer a variety of unique items to relive the excitement of the Star Wars saga. The newest phenomenon that technology makes possible is the creation of a Galactic ID with your photo in minutes. A great souvenir for $15 each. There are 2 kiosks and the line moves quickly. Quality of the Galactic ID is awesome. Line up to the left of the main entrance. read more

Get ready to pay Luke Skywalkers arm and no leg for the outpost toys and supplies. Want a Porg? That'll be $35 Girls, want some earrings? $25 All you lightsaber people prepare to drop $150 or more. Anyone who wants a Jedi robe, the cheaper kids version is $120. Galactic rip off. What sucks is that nothing has prices so they have to scan it. They have like Pink, Yellow, Violet "codes" but looking for the signs with the prices is almost impossible to find! Small selection too. 3 out of 5 stars meh. read more

True confession time, I am not a big Star Wars fan which may give this review more credibility. Located in Downtown Disney, in the old Rainforest Cafe, this is a true spot to get a full selection of paraphernalia without having to go into Disneyland. The staff are truly friendly and knowledgeable, giving information and insights along the way. Items are not inexpensive, but inline with amusement park prices. You can get a four hour parking validation with a $20 purchase read more

The force was strong at this spot! I came for the merch and stayed for the Millennium Falcon feels. The Star Wars Trading Post is definitely a must visit when going to Downtown Disney District. Visiting this spot is like stepping into a Star Wars movie. From the music to the decor, they definitely got a little bit of the Outer Rim right in the middle of Anaheim! The merch here is on point too. It's total galaxy vibes meeting Disney magic. R2-D2 always steals the show and my heart! This Jedi was definitely impressed with this corner of the galaxy at Downtown Disney District! read more

This store used to be Rainforest Cafe. It has character and theme. The merchandise in here is on point with the theme. It happened to be raining and the staff were using the lightsaber umbrella. They are so cute. They were selling out fast due to the rain. I can't imagine spending 89.99 for an umbrella I will hardly use in Sunny California. My son did end up getting a make your own lightsaber. The staff that helped him was very helpful. Disney knows how to upsell. Anyway, when he was finished, he flicked open the saber and I thought it was a ripoff. The light didn't extend out far enough. The handle was almost as long as it! That's Disney for you! read more

We always enjoy checking out Star Wars gear. There was an employee outside letting kids run R2D2 with a remote. We didn't buy anything, nothing really called to us but it was still fun to checkout! read more

Star Wars Trading Post - Outside - Toy Stores Near Me - Anaheim, California

This shop at Downtown Disney sells all things Star Wars. It opened in 2021 and replaced the old Rainforest Cafe restaurant that use to be here. Star Wars Trading Post was designed to look like a hidden jungle Resistance base. In front of the store is Rey's speeder from the movies. Star Wars Trader Post has all sorts of merchandise and apparel inspired by the Star Wars movies and Disney+ shows. The nice thing about shopping here is that you don't need a themed park ticket to visit. You just have to pay the parking rates at Downtown Disney and go through security. You can find more Star Wars merchandise at the nearby World of Disney store. read more

This spot used to be a Rainforest Cafe, and I hadn't been to Downtown Disney in ages. I kept eyeing this store from the outside and finally decided to step in and wow! It truly feels like you've entered another galaxy... yes, a Star Wars galaxy! The store is clean, well organized, and full of amazing merchandise. I originally came in hoping to find some Chewbacca Mickey ears (no luck), but ended up getting my son an awesome jacket instead. One of the coolest features is the lightsaber building station, where you can handpick the parts to create your own. Such a fun experience! I'll definitely be coming back for more Star Wars merch! read more

This used to be a Rainforest Cafe and while I loved that restaurant, I'm so glad they turned it into a bit of Star Wars heaven for those don't want to pay for park admission but can still experience a taste of the Galaxy's Edge shops and merch. I was looking to buy a Rebel X Wing Fighter helmet and a Princess Leia Organa Legacy Lightsaber Hilt and Blade that day...I was on a mission! I received such wonderful service from one of the gals there who gladly assisted and showed me how to attach the blade and work the hilt. I was immediately sold and said "TAKE MY MONEY!!!" We even got into a conversation about cosplay and Star Wars Night at Disneyland. Gotta love folks who love their jobs! The store is outfitted with pretty much everything you need as a hardcore geek. They have a ton of Star Wars merch to include clothing, accessories, artwork, pins, patches, toy lightsabers and figurines. It is pretty spacious and they have an outside post that sells additional items to reel you in. Such an easy sell if you are a Star Wars fan. I love their Droid section as well mainly because I am a fan of R2-D2 and the classic characters from the original trilogy and on. Always a favorite spot to shop when I visit Downtown Disney! read more

Star Wars Trading Post - Star Wars shopping! - Toy Stores Near Me - Anaheim, California

We came in here 4/6/25 to look for a gift. I asked a sales lady if she could point me to the directions of where the pins are and was immediately being scolded by her. She was short and older lady. I understand she was with a guest helping them with a lightsaber, but she could have A) handled it better or B) just simply point to the direction of where they were. Unknowingly to my mom she went to the same lady who was cold, mean, unfriendly response. I have a hard time seeing and my mom found someone to help us. Her name is Cali S and she was a huge blessing. Not only was she kind and patient, but so helpful and understanding and helped us find the perfect pin for our friend. She went above and beyond. That older lady should take notes from Cali about how to treat customers and customer service. I hope that someone will acknowledge Cali for being an absolute superstar. If it were not for her we would have not bought anything and would have told others to steer clear of this place. However because of Cali's kindness that is not such a bad issue. read more

Where Rainforest Cafe once stood is now Star Wars Trading Post. Given the size of Rainforest Cafe, I was expecting the store to be larger. The upstairs is not utilized for retail space. Disney did repurpose the large tree that was inside/ towards the front of Rainforest Cafe. The tree helps make the inside of the shop look like it is part of a hidden Rebel outpost. Nets and greenery on the ceiling help round out the feel. There is a setup along a wall that looks like a command center. The shop is well themed. This shop has mostly Star Wars themed clothing. Along with clothing, there are pins, kitchen goods, home decor and toys. They also have Halloween quality costumes for kids. read more

We love going into this store when we visit Downtown Disney. Our family loves anything Star Wars so it's fun to see all the new merch for the franchise.

I always stop here while in downtown Disney. This location used to be the rainforest cafe, but I'm so happy they replaced it with something that had that over the top feel that Rainforest cafe brought to downtown. The storefront is completely Star Wars themed, both inside and out. They only sell Star Wars merchandise and have customizable lightsabers alongside prebuilt ones. This is my my favorite store by far! read more

A must stop location if you are a Star Wars fan, especially if you are only visiting Downtown Disney and do not have a park ticket to Disneyland.

My third favorite store in downtown Disney. Disney is getting so expensive so if you can't afford to buy a ticket for Disneyland to see Starwars land then come down to downtown to get your Starwars fill for free. if you buy Starwars merch that's just a plus. The whole trading post makes you feel like you in the Starwars galaxy at a local trading post. All the workers are in their uniforms that fit the theme. But if you are trying to find this outpost if you come from the Disneyland side of downtown Disney you will have to walk to the end of the town to find it. But if you come from the downtown Disney parking lot side you will find it on your left side by the entrance of Disney springs. Please check it out if you haven't! read more

Star Wars Trading Post - Ahmahgawd these ear rings(!) - Toy Stores Near Me - Anaheim, California

If you do not want to pay the mooko bucks to get into Disneyland but still want to experience a bit of Star Wars, check out the Star Wars Trading Post in downtown Disney. Long gone is the Rain Forest cafe. They transformed the space into a Star Wars themed shop that looks like a rebel base, on the planet Baatu. Rey's speeder, from Jakku, is on display in the front. Great backdrop for a photo. Inside the shop, the designers added decor touches to resemble a covert rebel base with fuel containers, equipment lockers, and a wall size digital computer screen with a control panel. Neat! It was so cute watching the youngins get excited and play pretend with the control panel. Inside the shop you will find clothes, costumes, stuffed animals, $70 mini backpacks shaped like Yoda and Chewbacca, action figures, toy light sabers, helmets $200 (stormtrooper, Rebel X Wing), BB8 robots, plushies, mugs, pins, toys, T-shirt's, Rebel jackets and knapsacks, and custom made legacy light sabers. You can make your own light saber or buy a legacy. In the back left corner of the shop is a glass counter displaying the legacy lightsabers of Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan, Rey, Darth Vader, Ben Solo, Kylo Ren, and Darth Maul. Those range around $150. So cool to see all the lights sabers displayed together. It gave me an opportunity to visually compare all of them. read more

A great retail shop to come to, especially if you are a Star Wars buff. While you have all the normal themed paraphernalia to choose from, the crown jewel is the display of different light saber hilts and the ability to build your own light saber. read more

The souvenirs are strong with this one I would have missed this shop if not for map in the middle of Disney downtown. And boy am I glad I decided to check out the map. Located off the main strip, most of the items here you can get at World of Disney (I know you read that review) however they have one thing that WoD didn't sell. When I was filming Savi's workshop (I know, I know), my son had the opportunity to build any lightsaber but Kylo Ren's. They didn't offer the material to build Ren's hilt. At the trading post, they sell the hilt and the blade. Sweet. In fact, they have all the other charter's hilts here and blades. I found out it's a standard blade the changes colors according to which hilt it's attached too. Not going to lie, I brought one right away including the blade. The problem was they didn't sell any form of protective sleeve. At Savi's they gave you one. The least they could do at the price to attend the workshop. So I did what any fan would do, I brought the limited edition Darth Vader and Bo-Katan masks along with the hilt and blade. And I had Disney ship them since they ain't fitting in my luggage. It cost an additional $74 for shipping and to my surprise they all came in two days before Christmas via UPS. Overall five stars. The geek in me loved it and even if I could buy it using Disney's website, I got to see it and hold it before purchasing any of the items and that was important before laying down the cash. Now excuse me, I want to see what other things I missed. M read more

Star Wars Trading Post was legit and awesome place to drop in especially because there was no line or hassle to get in. My son is an extreme Star Wars fan and this was our first stop in Downtown Disney because well it's very eye catching and cool. SWTP has something for everyone. If you're a beginner fan or advanced this store has got you covered. Service was excellent and the staff answered questions we had about some items. My son got to build a light saber for his birthday gift and he was stoked the entire day and is still stoked. They also validate parking here so don't forget to do that while you are paying. read more

A treasure trove of Star Wars merch!! Located on the north-west side of Downtown Disney by the Disneyland Hotel inside security near the Lego Store in what looks like an old ruin, there are so many Star Wars themed items. Clothes, light sabers, stuffed animals, costumes, helmets, theme appropriate Minnie ears, mugs, collectibles, the list goes on and on. This is a Star Wars fans mecca. It does get super crowded so be prepared to dodge and weave. Also you will find things, put them down, and end up going back for them later if you like the universe. The only area that I have seen that has some more unique items is inside the parks at Galaxy's Edge. Great perk here is you do not need a park ticket to partake in the fun. read more

They are in their new location as of 2/19/21! I was finally able to get to visit as we were able to get on the virtual wait list. Other times I've been here, the virtual line has been closed as we usually come later in the day. The Trading Post was originally in the Wonderground store for a short time during the pandemic, but got moved to this bigger standalone location taking over the old Rainforest Cafe spot. They did a great job redecorating the space to feel like you're inside the Star Wars universe. I love that they brought in Rey's Speeder as the main prop in front of the store. The store itself is pretty big, they have some merch outside the physical store along with lots of security in the area. The indoor section has most items they offered in Galaxy's Edge. They do offer the legacy character lightsabers, robes, toys, pushes, adult & kids clothes, and collectables. Don't forget to pick up their exclusive reusable bags for $1! I've heard rumors that there is enough room for a Star Wars dining spot. Fingers crossed! We do need another Cantina! All precautions are adheard to: masks, partitions and social distancing. The Trading Post is located in Downtown Disney (outdoor shopping & dining promenade) that is free to the public. It's located on the Disneyland Hotel end of the district. Recommended! ********************* JOINING THE VIRTUAL QUEUE Scan the QR code from the signs Enter your name & phone You'll receive a notification in the app & a text that you are in the queue At this point, I'd ask a Cast Member to see how long the call back is. CM said 2.5 hours but it ended up being 4 hours before we got the 2nd text. Once you get your second text to check in, go back to the store and you will be in a short line to go in. You'll have 60 minutes to check in once you get the second text. There is a medium line to get into the store from this point. We waited about 25 minutes in this queue. read more

I can't explain how excited I am that they turned the old Rainforest Cafe into the new Star Wars Trading Post!! It has been closed for awhile now and it's perfect that they chose to open a store for all Star Wars needs! We miss Disneyland and Galaxy Edge so much since we haven't been able to go due to the pandemic. Disney always goes all out and really know how to transforms a space into a reality! Since we can't go to Galaxy Edge for now, this place is a great alternative. Star Wars fan will geek out! You'll want to buy everything! Can't wait to go back and buy more grogu (aka baby yoda) stuff!!! Woo hoo! read more

I recently purchased 2 lightsabers from the Star Wars trading post. My complaint is they have a glass case that says 30% off. I noticed majority of lightsabers that were 30% off were priced at $219.99. I have been to this store a lot and know for a fact these lightsabers were initially priced at $169.99. If you do math then $169.99 times 30% is $219.99. You take $219.99 and knock off the 30% and you get $169.99. You are paying original price. Nice try Disney. I hope others don't fall for this. I made sure the sabers I got were either $169.99 original price or the dark saber which has been $219.99 for a long time. Unfortunately Disney's prices have continued to go up and the quality and material are cheap. Disney use to have good quality merchandise, but now are just trying to make money. In this instance you mark things up by 30% then people think they are getting a deal when you take off 30%. SMH, the mouse would be ashamed at the current price gouging of Disney. read more

Star Wars fans rejoice! This whole store is, as its name indicates, all about Star Wars. This used be the Rainforest Cafe a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...Well not quite, but the space that was formerly the Rainforest Cafe has been totally transformed so that it feels like walking into a store in Jakku or on a resistance base. The store itself is an experience. There were plenty of Star Wars merchandise, but some items on the website weren't in the store and there didn't seem to be many home items that I'd seen elsewhere. There wasn't a virtual line available when I visited. While it took awhile to move through the line, the wait wasn't too bad. The cast members kept things moving. No one mentioned that we all had to take a number, and it was placed a bit askew, so that part was a bit confusing. There were still quite a few people in the store despite the line to keep people socially distanced, but at least one side of the store is pretty much open to the outdoors. read more

This place is awesome! If you love star wars and want the best star wars merch, this is the place to shop! As other reviews noted, you don't have to purchase an entrance ticket to go to galaxy's edge to find the merch. This store pretty much has all the same stuff there without the price of admission.

All the employees there were super friendly and nice, they helped me and my husband with such an amazing attitude

This is such a pleasant and reassuring place to visit if after visiting galaxy's edge and you realized you actually do want to make further Star Wars related purchases. Rejoice! You can get most items or good amount of them here without having to buy another park ticket to get that item you now wish you grabbed before rationalizing whether you would really use it once you leave the park. Seriously, this was a great bandage and gives you hope for a quick purchase if needs be. Was impressed by the selection of outfits to light sabers to droids. read more

Great stuff for the Star Wars nerd, and enthusiast like me and the family. We Love all the things they offer and own sadly the majority. My son spends an insane amount of time staring and evaluating everything here, and throughout Galaxy's Edge. That being said when it first opened the Disney magic was there. The shops to buy light sabers in the midst of the rebellion were hush hush. The characters that worked these shops stayed in character to the land. Questioning weird credits like cash and Visa. Now this store and our beloved Galaxy's Edge are flooded with employees that know nothing of the Saga, the defenders of the empire, or the rebel scum that tries to fight. And for that.... You lost a star. When inquiring about the new legacy gift set of Luke's last week the attitude I got from the girl behind the counter would have been grounds for a unnoticed assassination in Mos Eisleys. I'm quite aware of how expensive the regular legacy light sabers are as we own quite a few, and I don't accept "it's really expensive" being the answer to my kid (on his birthday) with me standing behind him. Side note being his birthday he was getting a new saber and had propositioned a 50/50 split on the gift set with us which we were going to do. So for that you lose a star. Get it together Disney, it's bad show. read more
