So…A Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook is Now Available for Pre-Order

Who’s excited about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, opening in Disney World and Disneyland THIS YEAR?? (See everything you need to know about Galaxy’s Edge HERE.)

We’re always looking for new insights and information about the new lands. And while there are a few books and comics being released to introduce us to Black Spire Outpost on the Planet Batuu, we here at DFB are a little more interested in the FOOD!

We had a few hints at what might be served at Oga’s Cantina here. But now we’ve seen a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge COOKBOOK pop up over on Amazon today.

The recently released book “Star Wars: Pirate’s Price” reveals some really cool info about some of the backstory for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge… including hints about what we could possibly expect from Oga’s Cantina!

Want to Guarantee The Best Day Ever at Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge? Looks Like You Can…for $12,000.

By AJ and the DFB Team 14 Comments

Ever wanted to guarantee the PERFECT day at Disney World? Your favorite foods, your favorite rides, a private car whisking you from park to park through backstage access? Your dreams are coming true… . A new V.I.P. Tour is now open for booking for Walt Disney World guests: the completely customizable World of Dreams Tour!

Cinderella Castle

Based on our discussion with Disney World VIP Tour cast members, the inclusions are like no other… in fact, the tour is so customizable that interested guests can work with planning partners beforehand to plan their “dream day” — accommodating a party of up to six guests for up to 12 hours — in Disney World.

This could include experiences in any (or even more than one) of the four theme parks such as a pre-park opening photo shoot in Toy Story Land or even a tour of the Suite in Cinderella Castle. From attractions to dining in some of Disney World most popular restaurants (with meals and snacks included in the price), this tour can also potentially include hard-to-get access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when it opens this fall in Disney World.

There’s a Skyliner gondola in the station again! This gondola looks like it is more operational than the gondola we saw in the station last fall. Learn more about this new transportation option coming to Disney World this fall here.

We already knew that Sleeping Beauty Castle would maintain its classic color scheme of warm pink and bright blue while it underwent some needed repair work. But Disney has revealed that the Castle will also receive a subtle sprinkling of “pixie dust.” [Read more…]

Construction Update: Galaxy’s Edge and Skyliner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

By DFB Sarah 1 Comment

If you’re anything like us, you’re anxiously seeking details about Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2019, work continues in earnest… at least as much as we can see.

On a visit to the park yesterday, we were able to capture a little more detail of this building that’s being constructed adjacent to Tatooine Traders.

Grand Avenue Structure

Wrapping is down on this project (it was there just last week), so we can see a lot more detail, like the green tile roof and linear, simple overall design.
