This area, located in Fantasyland between It’s a Small World and the Haunted Mansion is a charming location where you’ll step right into Rapunzel’s kingdom from the film Tangled. Yes, this area may just only have restrooms, but this is the most beautifully themed area and restrooms. Here you can find the floating lanterns, which illuminate at night, murals painted by Rapunzel, hidden Pascals, and Rapunzel’s tower off in the distance. Make sure to visit this area at night for a special photopass opportunity where you can hold one of the floating lanterns with the lanterns flying behind you!

Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and the Millennium Falcon
You’ll find so many amazing photo spots in the many paths and corners around Galaxy’s Edge. Our favorite though of course is the Millennium Falcon. Pose for a photo that is out of this world next to Han Solo’s famous ship, located in the back of this galaxy. You’ll also be able to hop on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run after where you be able to fly this ship on a mission throughout the galaxy.
