    The Star Trader
    Monique W.

    Star Trader is one of the go to stores located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park if you're looking for Star Wars themed items! On our latest Disneyland trip in June, one of the evenings we stopped by Star Trader before the store closed! This store originally opened up in 1967 and has changed during the years! When the debut of Star Tours opened, it was then transformed into Star Trader! Inside the store, you'll see a large X-Wing Starfighter hanging from the ceiling! Disneyland used to have the PeopleMover operating, but now the windows have been replaced with other projections. The store is open from 8:00 A.M to 12:00 A.M during the summer hours. There is so much merchandise in this store! You'll find limited edition collectibles, apparel and so much more! There is an assortment of Star wars merchandise, and Disneyland memorabilia. My daughter and I ended up picking up a 70th anniversary snow globe and shirts from here! There is also a unique experience at Start Trader. You can assemble a personalized lightsaber with different components and even adjustable sound effects! After riding Star Tours, you'll be dropped off into The Star Trader. This is one of the best shops in Disneyland and it's right next to Space Mountain too!

    This is the gift shop that you conveniently exit into after getting off of the Star Tours ride. It is located adjacent to Space Mountain and a restroom. Even if you don't ride Star Tours, this is a cool shop to check out for their displays and merchandise for any Star Wars fan. On my most recent visit, they were also selling those interactive keys to Disneyland for the 70th anniversary.

    Before Disney acquired Lucasfilm and Galaxy's Edge was built, this was the place to go to at Disneyland to get your Star Wars merchandise. It has been around for some time. The Star Trader is located in Tomorrowland next to Star Tours and Space Mountain. When you exit the Star Tours ride, they make you pass through this gift shop before you head back into the park. It is a pretty large shop that has a full size X-wing fighter hanging from the ceiling. The Star Trader sells souvenirs, clothing and toys. Majority of the items in the store is Star Wars merchandise along with other Disney and science fiction themed merchandise. You can even custom-make your own lightsaber here. They offer mobile checkout if you don't want to wait in the checkout line.

    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.

At first all was good, when we entered there was a couple other kids looking around so we allowed our kids to take a look around as well. My older daughter was having trouble deciding so my three year old son kept tossing around a dog he had decided on. While doing that he dropped it a few times on the floor, where a worker brought that to my attention, understandable, so I placed it in my basket. Finally we had all decided on a jelly cat and my son changed his option to another one I took a look at the dog and he was still in great condition so I put it back. When we were about to pay the cashier bluntly expressed if we would purchasing the dog since my son a dropped it. It wasn't the situation that frustrated me and it was the way I was approached about it. You know what I bought them all because I didn't want to ruin my children's experience that I had hoped would be different. She then tried to be nice about the situation but honestly my husband and me felt uncomfortable. We witnessed another child tossing and licking other stuff animals and left without buying anything, yet here we were buying 3 jelly cats and then almost forced to buy a fourth getting rude customer service. Definitely will not be shopping here ever again. I think specifically her name was Alysa who was the one out of the three who made us extremely uncomfortable. One of the worst customer experience I had in my life
