Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo trades Hawkins for Orlando with Disney World trip
By Mia Johnson
A bit of a Disney-Netflix crossover happened recently, as Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo visited Walt Disney World in Florida — and specifically spent some time at Galaxy’s Edge.
This was revealed by the Disney Parks Blog (H/T to the DisInsider), who featured Matarazzo on a new installment of Walt Disney World Minute.
In the video, Gaten, who plays Dustin on Stranger Things, poses with Chewbacca in front of the Millenium Falcon and then shows off his best Chewie roar. After that, Disney asks him a few rapid questions about himself, all as he walks through the streets of Batuu at Galaxy’s Edge.
According to his Q&A, the young Star Wars fan revealed that his favorite character is Chewbacca. And his favorite ride that he’s looking forward to going on is the coveted Rise of the Resistance.
The one thing he couldn’t give an answer on: what he’s working on next. So sorry to any fans who were hoping to hear him spill any deets on Stranger Things 4. At the very least, we know it’s coming out in 2022. So you can make sure Stranger Things is in the lineup of shows you watch among our Andors and Obi-Wan Kenobis next year.

On social media, the star didn’t seem to post anything about his trip to Disney World. But, he did happen to share an Instagram post from another park in Orlando Florida, Universal Studios.
There, he shared on his page that he was thankful for Universal Studios for having him — all while wearing a Spider-Man hat and posing with some butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
So, just like many of us, it looks like Matarazzo is a man of many fandoms!
