Hey friends. I am excited to announce that I will be attending this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim! The event begins in just two weeks and there’s a lot to do to prepare. In addition to covering the entire experience here on my blog and over on my Instagram and TikTok, I thought it would be fun to also cover how I am preparing!

To-Do List
Here’s a pre-trip list of things I am doing to prepare for my trip.
- Arrange Flight
- Plan ground transportation to and from the airport
- Arrange hotel reservations/ find roommates
- Make sure Celebration tickets arrive safely
- Plan outfits
- Assemble all tickets and important documents (including badges, Disneyland tickets, flight info, etc.) into a safe place
- Pack
- Virtual Check-in for flights
Important Document and Ticket List
While this might seem intuitive, I’m primarily jotting this down so I don’t forget these items myself when packing!
- Disneyland tickets
- Star Wars Nite ticket
- Star Wars Celebration Anaheim badges
- Autograph and Photo Op Tickets
- After-hours event tickets
- Hotel Reservation
- Passport/License
Outfit Planning
I am going to be Star Wars bounding for each day of Celebration, which is something I am very excited and nervous about. In preparation, I have been assembling different outfit items for each day.
Here are my plans:
Thursday (Day 1): Rebel Pilot
Friday (Day 2): Dark Jedi
Saturday (Day 3): Han Solo
Sunday (Day 4): Punk Leia
In addition, for each day I am going to have a casual backup for the evenings/if I get tired of wearing my bounding outfit.
Packing
- Clothes
- Shoes
- Toiletries
- Hair accessories
- Makeup
- Tech including chargers
A full packing list can be downloaded here.
Day Bag
Each day, I am planning on carrying a backpack with a few essentials to get me through the day. Here are some ideas for what I might put inside.
- Phone charger and power bank
- Hand sanitizer/anti-bacterial wipes
- Hair ties
- Extra face masks
- Painkillers
- Extra pair of socks
- Small reusable bag
- Notebook / Pen / Sharpie
- Deodorant
- Headphones
- Printed itinerary of panels (idk this just seems practical?)
- Proof of Vaccination (click here to see SWCA’s Health and Safety requirements)
- Snacks
- Breakfast bars (my snack of choice)
- Gum
- Water
Okay, after all this organizing I am now starting to feel a little less overwhelmed by the planning process. We can do this!
