    All things Star Wars are sold here. Seriously, all of it. They have a whole section just for baby yoda. I wanted to buy it all lol They had a Mando section with his helmet and gloves. I found an area for Princess Leia with her costume and everything. You can make your own lightsabers. And there's storm troopers above making sure no one steals anything hahaha This is a great store for all the Star Wars fans out there.

    WOW! Look what I found. Get them before the turn to silver.

    WOW! The Star Trader in DTD?!!!!! Need to pickup some Star Wars themed items b4 leaving Disneyland? The Trader in DTD is the perfect place. Located where Rainforest Cafe use to be, it's an easy walk from the DTD monorail station. Found the Mandalorian collectible medallions a treat. Only available at the DTD location. The merchandise seems similar but not the same as the Disneyland store in Tomorrowland. Go check it out next time you're in DTD. Happy Shopping

    The Star Trader is the largest of the retail stores inside Tomorrowland. Before Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, The Star Trader was the main location for Star Wars Merchandise in the park. With Star Tours, the shop still carries a substantial amount of Star Wars items. At this location, guests may customize and build their own lightsaber for purchase. There are other Disneyland space themed goods as well. If pin trading, there is usually a pin trading board available. If planning on riding Star Tours, you may want to save visiting this shop until then. Star Tours exits into the retail space. One must walk through the majority of the store before existing. One of my favorite parts of Star Trader is the sign outside. At night, the sign lights up to show Mickey dressed in a space suit, tumbling in space. It's an old neon sign. It's probably more nostalgic than truly a must-see.

    This store is located in the downtown Disneyland district. They do require a bag check to get inside the shopping district. The store is one of the 1st stores you see on the left. My nephew wanted to complete his collection of life sabers so I was shopping for him. The workers at the register were very helpful. They looked through his list and helped me via the phone with him. We did find the one he needed and they boxed it up and helped make a tape handle for me to carry. I found the store to be helpful and convenient. They could not ship it for me because it was a limited edition but I found a UPS store nearby.

    Star Wars meets attraction posters...OMG, yes!  Haunted Mansion!!!

    When you exit Star Tours you are flooded with anything and everything Star Wars. DIY light sabers, kids clothes, pj sets, books, plush, Loungefly mini backpacks, Her Universe, souvies galore!! Half of the location currently has Mickey 2019 souvenirs...I'm hoping this location stays and isn't being weeded out with Galaxy's Edge opening! Some days I just want to pop in and get my SW fix on. GE will be so hard to shop through for a lonnnng time.

    My nephew wanted a light saber for a Christmas gift so I let him build his own. They were very friendly in assisting him what pieces he needed.

    Cute store as you exit the Star Tours ride. My son had been wanting to do a "build your own" lightsaber. Their build station was amazing! We had a little trouble at first trying to figure out how to put it together and thought that we had it right. When we got to the counter to pay, a cast member told us that we were missing pieces and took us to the back to show us which ones. That was SO nice of them as we would have never known we were missing anything. We did not have to pay for the anything extra and we had already paid. I can't express how nice that was for us. Highly recommend this store and the cast members here!

    This is my favorite store to go into every time I am In tomorrow land! This is any Star Wars fan place to be! I always say I'm going to look but I end up buying something no matter what! I love to look at all the new pins that they have or build a droid and R2D2. They recently added a section where you can have your name engraved onto a name tag in starwars language! It's so awesome and it's only $9.99!

    Build your own!

    "It's Great to be a Kid Again!" One of my favorite shops at Disneyland, this store is the themed shop for Space Mountain/Hyper Space Mountain. They are always stocked and have more variety than most other stores for other rides. The shop is always rotating inventory and every visit to the park calls for a trip here to check out the new items. My little one loves this shop. We have purchased everything from pins, Ray shirts to light sabers and the BB-8 Robot. This is one of her favorite shops. The store is always organized, This is true even with the mobs of people making a mad rush during the 60th Anniversary Celebration, Christmas shopping and the Star Wars release. Customer service is always good and the cast members are most helpful. I especially like the 20% savings with the pass! Overall, I am a fan!

    Review #600: If you're a fan of Disney and a fan of Star Wars, then you'll love this shop at Disneyland. Star Trader can be found at the exit of the Star Tours ride in Tomorrowland. There are the basic Disney themed items but the majority of the items sold here relate to Star Wars in some way. You can build your own lightsaber. You can buy a mini ewok or Chewbacca. You can even buy Star Wars themed bath toys like I did for my nephew. Everything in here is a mix of sci-fi fantasy with a dash of Disney thrown in. The staff is nice and amicable. It tends to get busy later in the day but for the most part you can always find something that you can't find elsewhere in the park. So take a ride on Star Tours, and then get lost in the Star Trader.

    Makes a great refrigerator door lock.

    The build-your-own lightsaber station. Besides trying to cross the parade of lights to get to the other side of Disneyland there's nothing more frustrating than the build-your-own lightsaber station. There are two types of people at this saber station. The ones that hog up the limited area and build sabers but have no intention to buy, and those that want to buy but have no room to build.. It's a little convoluted on actually how to build a proper lightsaber. There are simple pictures of various saber models that you can make but it's picture only. Tip - Just grab one of the workers manning this station and ask them to help. This will save you a lot of time and frustration. These "Disneyland" lightsabers have been pretty reliable so far ( one month in). Cheaper unlicensed light sabers at SeaWorld are unlikely to survive the walk to back to the car because they're so cheap and brittle. These Disneyland ones are about 30 bucks but I think they're worth it. Strategy - Disneyland will hold your purchases at will call until you leave (Per - Wendy H San Marcos, CA) - Check prices of their Star Wars merchandise on Amazon first.

    Friend figures out how everything goes together.

    This is the shop that you get dumped into after you exit Star Tours. If you love Star Wars, it is the greatest shop in the park, and if you REALLY love Star Wars, it is one of the greatest shops ANYWHERE! I could easily dump my entire Disney budget in this place alone, so it was with extreme care that I started looking around the other night, fresh off of Star Tours and 5 minutes before park closing. I figured I couldn't do much damage in 5 minutes, right? So here I was, trying to decide what ONE thing to buy (plush backpack designed to look like Yoda holding onto your back? AWESOME. Jedi robe for toddler? AWESOME. T-shirt with a picture of a Storm Trooper holding a Mickey Pop that says "The Dark Side is Sweet." AWESOME.) And then I saw it: the Build your own Lightsaber bar. Let me repeat that. BUILD YOUR OWN LIGHTSABER! I felt a little faint from the giddiness. Oh, I thought, this has GOT to be expensive. Nope--only $19.95. I grabbed Friend (fellow Star Wars junkie) and Toddler, and we got to building. OH.EM.GEEEEE. It was SO much fun! And the resulting lightsaber is really cool! It comes with three different "crystals" that cause the lightsaber to make different noises--you can change them out at will. Of course, you get to choose your color (Toddler chose red--BADASS!). Put the whole thing together and then when you check out, the cashier installs your "power source" (2 C batteries). The thing lights, up, makes noise, and is the actual size a lightsaber should be. AAAAAWESOOOOOOME. The best $20 I spent in the park. Hands down.

    So bright, the future is. Shades I must wear.

    One of my favorite shops at Disneyland. Offering "Star Wars" items as well as fusions items that include the original Disney characters, you can't really go wrong in this store. One of my favorites for unique Disney items for fans of all kinds.

    Oh my, this is a very cutesy place. I've eyed Jini Mini a lot as I'm often nearby but didn't know…read morewhat they had in store. Recently, I came across them on a hunt for cute bag charms (thanks, Yelp Assistant) and I was blown away by the selection! In addition to tons of plushies, they have a whole wall of bag charms. I didn't find what I was looking for (something Disney and/or cherry-themed) but I found a cute charm for a friends birthday gift and the claw clips on the shelf below caught my eye because many of them were metal and large. Perfect for thick hair! The cashier confirmed this as well which made me feel confident and I can confirm they hold up with long, thick, hair. It seems like this place does a lot of limited drops so definitely get there early if you're looking for a trendy item. But, it wasn't too crowded when I went around 11am.

    I walked in expecting a full Jellycat selection. The shelves looked almost empty. It felt…read moremisleading and frustrating. My excitement disappeared instantly. This was not what I came for. The only options were the Lunar New Year one. There was also a random softball plush. That was it, nothing else. No variety, no classics, no fan favorites. The selection was honestly disappointing. I drove out of my way for this. The display felt poorly stocked. It seemed careless and unprepared. Three stars only because the plushies were decent. I expected far more than this. .
