RUMOR: Could We See Shadows of Memory at Disney World?

Hey Disney Vacationers! Starting March 28, 2025, Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga will debut as part of the Season of Force at Disneyland. This new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge projection show will immerse guests in the legacy of the Skywalker saga. Right now, it’s only scheduled for Disneyland. However, rumors suggest we might see Shadows of Memory at Disney World too. Let’s break down what we know.

Shadows of Memory: What’s Confirmed

Disney has confirmed that Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga will:

• Feature projection effects on the spires of Batuu near the Millennium Falcon.
• Play on a 15-minute cycle, allowing more guests to experience the show.
• Include an iconic musical score with themes from the Skywalker saga.

This repeat show cycle follows the same strategy as the Hogwarts Castle projection show at Universal Orlando and the Tree of Life holiday projection show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The goal is to maximize guest viewing opportunities, given the limited space in Galaxy’s Edge.

The Rumor: Will Shadows of Memory Come to Disney World?

On the February 17, 2024 edition of the Disney Dish podcast, Jim Hill hinted at the possibility of Shadows of Memory coming to Disney World. While there’s no timeline yet, it could happen sometime after the Season of Force concludes at Disneyland.

Bringing the Shadows of Memory to Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge makes a lot of sense, especially considering Disney’s strategy heading into summer 2025. With Universal’s Epic Universe opening that summer, Disney is planning new entertainment offerings, including:

• A brand-new Villains Show at Hollywood Studios.
• A new nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom.
• More character interactions and entertainment across the parks.

If Disney is looking to boost attendance and guest engagement, bringing Shadows of Memory”to Disney World would fit into that plan.

Could Luke Skywalker Also Come to Disney World?

Disneyland is taking the Season of Force one step further by introducing Luke Skywalker to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for the first time. Jim Hill confirmed that the version of Luke Skywalker we will see at Disneyland will be from Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. On February 7, Disney Parks teased his arrival with a video on Instagram. The post included this statement:

“Joining other familiar encounters in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, for the first time, a shadowy visitor will appear on Batuu for a limited time. Wearing what seem to be Jedi robes, there are rumors it might be the legendary Luke Skywalker!”

This raises the question—could Disney bring Luke Skywalker to Disney World, too? If Shadows of Memory makes the jump to Florida, a Luke Skywalker meet and greet could be the perfect addition. Fans would love the chance to meet one of the most iconic characters in Star Wars history.

What Happens Next?

Right now, Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga is only confirmed for Disneyland. But if the rumors are true, we might see it in Disney World before too long. Given Disney’s push for more entertainment offerings in 2025, the timing could align perfectly.

Will Shadows of Memory become a permanent addition to Galaxy’s Edge in both parks? Could we finally see a Luke Skywalker meet and greet in Florida? Time will tell, but for now, Star Wars fans should keep their fingers crossed.

Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about the future of Shadows of Memory at Disney World!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
