Ahsoka Tano Day 2025 at Disney World in Florida

Join us Saturday, January 25th as we celebrate Ahsoka Tano Day with a lightsaber meetup at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida!

At this time, no special guests are planned.

NOTE: This event listing for the Ahsoka Tano Day lightsaber meetup at Walt Disney World in Florida. See our Ahsoka Tano Day 2025 at Batuu West event for details about our meetup at Disneyland in California on Sunday, January 26th.

We will tentatively meet at 8:45 PM ET at the TIE Echelon and take photos in front of the TIE Echelon and the Millennium Falcon. Please arrive promptly, as photos may start any time after the meetup time.

We strongly encourage Ahsoka Tano bounds, Batuu bounds, and any other Star Wars-related attire that meets the Disney Parks restrictions on costuming. All lightsabers are welcome as long as they are not actual weapons. Per Disney Parks requirements, blasters are not allowed.

Depending on the number of guests, we may ask you to line up in advance to streamline the process for both our volunteers and Disney Cast Members. The line begins near the Refreshers in the Service Yard between the Courtyard Antenna and the Milk Stand.

Our event photos typically take place after official park close, but guests and Cast Members may still be moving around the park. Please keep all pathways clear so other guests and Cast Members can safely move through the park.

Please follow instructions from all SWGEDiscord volunteers as well as all Disney Parks cast members. Our volunteers will help line you up at each location, give instructions on different photo poses, and provide crowd control for both sabers and spectators.

Look for volunteers wearing SWGEDiscord shirts, buttons, glow bracelets, and other official identification.

Ahsoka Tano Day Lightsaber Meetup Details

This lightsaber meetup is completely free but does require admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

If you want to volunteer to help with the event, please post in the #Reservations-And-Meetups channel on our Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server or message us through Facebook or Instagram.

As a reminder, every member of our team is a volunteer. We do not hire or pay our crowd handlers, photographers, videographers, streamers, content creators, or celebrities who attend our event.

Anyone is welcome to take personal photos or videos during the event.

Content creators are also welcome, but please check in with our volunteers at least 15 minutes early so we can help facilitate a spot for you during the event. However, we do request that you do not attempt to sell your content to event guests.

Meetup Reminders

• Lightsaber dueling is strictly prohibited, and we will ask guests to leave.
• Meet in the courtyard by the TIE Echelon promptly at 8:45 PM.
• Please do not gather early, as it makes non-saber meetup guests think there is a show. If you are hanging out, please consider the marketplace, the garage, or the pathway leading off-world.
• Depending on how many beings come, we may ask you to line up so we can break into smaller groups.
• SWGEDiscord volunteers will be wearing glow bracelets, SWGEDiscord buttons, or other identifying items if you have questions.
• As always, please be kind and respectful of Disney cast members, SWGEDiscord volunteers, and other meetup guests.
• If you see something or feel uncomfortable, please talk to a SWGEDiscord volunteer. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and we will ask guests to leave.

What to Know If This Is Your First SWGEDiscord Meetup

Our meetups are fun and inclusive events where you can meet and chat with other Star Wars fans, show off your latest sabers, and, most importantly, join in group photos in front of the TIE Echelon and Millennium Falcon.

If this is your first meetup, here is what you can expect:

• Photos take place right after the park closes and usually take about 30 minutes.
• We will have SWGEDiscord photographers at the TIE Echelon and the Millennium Falcon.
• Depending on the number of guests, we may break you up into smaller groups.
• There are opportunities for individual photos once we finish with all group photos.
• We kindly ask that you wait until SWGEDiscord photographers are done before taking photos. SWGEDiscord volunteers will let you know when you can take your photos.
• Photos from SWGEDiscord photographers are usually available within one to two weeks. The added time is needed to process their photos so they look amazing.
• Event photos will get posted on the SWGEDiscord server, the SWGEDiscord website, the SWGEDiscord Facebook Event and Group pages, and the SWGEDiscord Twitter and Instagram accounts as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, ask in the #Reservations-And-Meetups channel on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord server or message us through Facebook or Instagram.

What Is Ahsoka Tano Day?

Ahsoka Tano Day is the annual celebration of the Star Wars character Ahsoka Tano. Tano first appeared as one of the lead characters of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.

We celebrate annually on January 29th, the day Ahsoka was first introduced in 2008. The first known mention of an Ahsoka Tano Day was in 2015 when Twitter user AhsokaTanosLife used the hashtag #AhsokaTanoDay.

Since then, fans have celebrated the day by sharing posts on social media, making Ahsoka artwork, and watching their favorite The Clone Wars episodes. Since 2021, the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord has celebrated Ahsoka Day with lightsaber meetups in the Disney Parks.

For more information, view our guide to Ahsoka Tano Day.

What Is a Lightsaber Meetup?

A lightsaber meetup is a fan gathering to celebrate lightsabers. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord group is best known for hosting lightsaber meetups in the Disney Parks and at some Star Wars-related conventions. However, we are not the only group that hosts meetups.

Each meetup is a fun and safe environment to show off lightsabers and talk about Star Wars with other fans. While they are the focus of the event, you do not need a lightsaber to participate. We also encourage cosplays, Batuu bounds, or other Star Wars-themed clothing.

We coordinate our events with the Disney Parks events team or convention organizers in advance. Our lightsaber meetups are always free, but you may need to pay to attend events at the Disney Parks or certain conventions. Ticketing requirements are outlined in each event listing.

Our team is comprised entirely of volunteers. No one is paid or compensated to work or appear at our events. This includes our event coordinators, crowd handlers, photographers, videographers, streamers, content creators, and celebrities. Also, we are not compensated for hosting our events.

What Is the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Discord?
