food IS a theme park
Whether you’re more of a TIE Fighter pilot or a Millennium Falcon flyer, you can now travel to a galaxy far, far away in style!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
In celebration of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World, a new plane is jumping to hyperspace and soaring across the skies to take guests to the action in Hollywood Studios!
Whenever a new land opens at Walt Disney World, the hype is always extremely real. But we all know that like anything else, that excitement can flicker out pretty quickly (AKA any YA novel fandom).

The question is: how do you test if a land is a hit in Disney after it opens? It’s not only its initial popularity that keeps it high on the list but the continual visits from guests, how long the wait times are, and even what’s inside the land itself (still not over the Viewmaster slides in Toy Story Land tbh). And the differences between Pandora’s opening in 2017 and Galaxy’s Edge’s opening this year seem to show — at least anecdotally — that the two don’t stack up very similarly in terms of overall popularity.
Designer ears have been popping up like crazy for a while now.

Within the last few months, we’ve seen unique and fun designs from Harvey’s, Alex and Ani, Noah, Loungefly, Heidi Klum, and MORE. Now, it’s time for guests to travel to another galaxy with the Princess Leia designer ears created by Ashley Eckstein.
The dark side better watch out! A new strong female role model was just spotted at Disney World joining forces with the Resistance!
@Disney Serena Williams in Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge
That’s right — tennis champ and longtime Disney fan Serena Williams was seen at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios today celebrating her 38th birthday. And we’re thinking if she can wield a lightsaber as well as she handles a tennis racket, Kylo Ren should be shaking in his boots!

Serena Williams was also celebrating her two-year-old daughter Olympia’s first official trip to Disney World. The last time the two were here, Olympia was still in Serena’s tummy!

Happy Birthday, Serena! We hope you and Olympia are having a wonderful time at Disney World!

We’d hoped a treat like this would appear in the Disney galaxy and we finally laid eyes on one today!
When we first visited Oga’s Cantina in Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we noticed that quite a few items had higher prices than their counterparts in Disneyland.

And now, it looks like Disneyland’s menu has been updated to reflect higher prices as well.
Virgin Atlantic sure knows how to party! They’re celebrating August’s grand opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World by revealing a new Millennium Falcon-inspired Boeing 747 — but that’s not all!

Dubbed The Falcon, who wouldn’t love to see this giant flying homage to Star Wars in real life as it flies between London Gatwick Airport and the Orlando International Airport!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge finally opened the gates to Batuu in Disney World this past month!
Star Wars Rise of the Resistance
And, while Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run has allowed guests to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, we can’t help but wonder… What is the newest attraction coming to Galaxy’s Edge, the Rise of the Resistance, going to be like? Will the Force be with it, or will it give in to the dark side of Disney misses?
