One of the things that has been teased about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the fact that the new land will be immersive in a way that even the Disney Parks have never been before.
It seems that the use of the app might be the way that this integration will work.
While we still don’t have a lot of detail about how that will work, we do know the land will use some sort of optional integration with the Play Disney Parks app to accomplish this feat.
Currently, the app is mainly used to let guests play games while standing in line, but it seems that it will be taken to another level as part of Galaxy’s Edge.
