Ever since opening in Downtown Disney this past September the Star Wars Trading Post has been a very popular destination for guests visiting Downtown Disney. Today the Disney Parks made the following announcement:
The Star Wars Trading Post, which we first told you about in September, will soon be moving to an exciting new spot at the west end of the Downtown Disney District, becoming a destination for all things Star Wars. Walt Disney Imagineers have created a design inspired by a hidden jungle Resistance base, and it even includes Rey’s iconic speeder prominently displayed at the entrance.
From robes and lightsabers to creatures and toys, there’s something unique for every traveler on their galactic journey. The opening assortment will feature merchandise straight from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edgealong with classic Star Wars and The Mandalorian, with apparel, accessories, souvenirs, creatures, droids and more. Select items direct from the planet of Batuu also will be available on shopDisney.com.

Though Disney didn’t directly state that the Rainforest Cafe location is where the Trading Post was moving it is easy to deduce that it will be the new location due to Asian Street Eats recently being removed. A cast member also confirmed in person that it was “becoming something Star Wars” on a recent visit to Downtown Disney. A bonus of this news is that the WonderGround Gallery is returning to Downtown Disney. Are you excited to visit the new Trading Post location and to return to the WonderGround Gallery?
