Disney Launches Imagineering Labs App for Magic Key Holders, Targeting Full Rollout in Early 2027

Q: What secret rewards await those who choose the Rebel Alliance over the Empire in Disney's newest interactive park experiment?

Disney has not publicly revealed any specific “secret rewards” for siding with the Rebel Alliance in *Secrets of the Spire*. What is known from Disney’s description is that, after players find and hack the hidden Imperial signals in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, they can either give the coordinates to an Imperial officer “for a reward” or send them to the Millennium Falcon to support the Rebels. Disney’s materials confirm that the experience can trigger in-land effects such as lights or music and that the story branches based on the player’s choice, but they do not spell out a distinct Rebel-side prize. So the likely answer is that the Rebel path currently offers a story-driven outcome and possible immersive park effects rather than a publicly identified bonus item or perk. Because this is an Imagineering test, Disney appears to be keeping some outcomes flexible or intentionally undisclosed while it gathers guest feedback. In short, choosing the Rebel Alliance seems to unlock narrative participation in Leia’s mission and potentially different interactive responses in the land, but no confirmed secret reward has been announced.

Disney has released its free Imagineering Labs iPhone app to Disneyland Magic Key holders ages 13 and up, opening a limited test bed for in-park features still under development.
The first experiment, Secrets of the Spire in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, sends players on a Princess Leia-led hunt for hidden Imperial signals that can trigger real-world effects such as lights or music.
A second feature, Enchanted Guide, is set to arrive soon as an AI assistant that uses location, wait times and party details to answer questions and suggest rides, restaurants and alerts.
Early tests also exposed limits: the app is separate from Disneyland’s main app, lacks access to reservations and pass items, and voice activation on connected devices missed about half the time.
Disney says the standalone app follows the September shutdown of Play Disney Parks and is meant to gather guest feedback before features change, disappear or expand to a broader launch early next year.
