When guests visit Star Wars Celebration later this week, there will be multiple health and safety guidelines in place to make it as safe of an experience as possible. Guests will be required to provide proof of full vaccination against Covid-19 or proof of a negative antigen or PCR Covid-19 Test. Star Wars Celebration has shared its guidelines for guests wishing to attend. DAPS MAGIC is sharing those guidelines today to make sure that there are no surprises for those who intend to visit. Check them out below.

HOW TO GET INTO STAR WARS CELEBRATION ANAHEIM

Star Wars Celebration requires all attendees, exhibitors, media, guests, and show management staff to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or proof of a negative antigen or PCR COVID-19 test to enter Celebration.

“Full vaccination” means that your date of entry to Celebration is at least 14 days after completion of your primary series of an FDA/WHO approved or authorized vaccine. For our full FDA/WHO approved/authorized vaccine list, please see our FAQs.

For unvaccinated attendees – proof of a negative antigen COVID-19 test conducted no more than 1 day prior to event entry or PCR COVID-19 test conducted no more than 2 days prior to event entry.

Please note that the vaccination or negative test requirement applies to all participants, including children.

Use CLEAR Health Pass for fastest entry into the show

Star Wars Celebration has partnered with CLEAR Health Pass, to allow for easy proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test status and faster entry. To get started, download the CLEAR app and enroll for free.

How do I get into Star Wars Celebration?

To enter the Anaheim Convention Center, you will need a wristband to indicate that you have verified your vaccination status or provided proof of a negative antigen or PCR COVID-19 test, as well as your badge to enter Star Wars Celebration.

We have two locations available to pick up your wristband.

If you have to pick up your badge at Will Call, there’s an offsite wristband location at the Anaheim Marriott (700 W Convention Way, Anaheim, CA 92802) in Marquis Ballroom on the first floor that will make it quick and easy for you to verify your vaccination status or provide proof of negative test and receive your wristband. You can then pick up your badge at Will Call in that same location.

If you already have your badge, you can still head to the Anaheim Marriott Marquis Ballroom to obtain your wristband OR you can utilize the secondary wristband check location outside the Anaheim Convention Center on Katella Avenue.

Please Note: If arriving by ride share, please ask your driver to drop you off at the designated area on Katella Avenue or at the Anaheim Marriott to obtain your wristband. The Transit Plaza drop off location is for ADA vehicles only.

To obtain a wristband you will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative antigen or PCR COVID-19 test.

The wristband confirms that you have provided proof of full vaccination or negative test and will be valid for all the days you’re attending Star Wars Celebration. Wristbands are non-transferrable. Please ensure you wear your wristband each day you are attending Star Wars Celebration. You will need to re-verify your vaccination or negative test if you remove or lose your wristband. 

After you complete the Vaccine & Negative Test Verification and receive your wristband, click here for specific instructions on how to enter the Star Wars Celebration campus and where to queue each morning for the events you would like to attend.
