Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World is a Star Wars fan’s dream vacation. You get to dive into the galaxy and become immersed in the stories through shopping, dining, and rides.
Rise of the Resistance
One of the rides in this land is Rise of the Resistance. It’s quite possibly the BEST ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s a trackless ride, which keeps you guessing on where you’re going next, and it’s jam-packed with action from beginning to end, including your time in the queue. But if you want to make it even BETTER, we recommend doing this one thing!

It’s no secret that Walt Disney World vacations are expensive. From tickets and accommodations to travel and dining expenses, it can be tempting to try to save as much as possible to make the whole experience more cost-effective. However, some perks might be worth the splurge.
Cinderella Castle
There’s booking at a Deluxe Resort to take advantage of Extended Evening Hours, where on select nights each week, one of the parks stays open two hours past park close, or staying at a Value Resort like Art of Animation Resort or Pop Century Resort, the difference between a standard and preferred room is around a $25 up-charge, depending on the time of year. Then there’s the $185 Memory Maker package, a dream addition for those who want a large collection of professional photos documenting their trip, with a dash of Disney magic and pixie dust thrown in.
It’s been about a year since the popular — and somewhat controversial — Cake Bake Shop opened at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk, and we’re still asked often: “Is it worth the hefty price tag?”
A new cake slice!
After a construction process that felt like it lasted a decade, the restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers opened to positive reviews for its food… and some side-eye about its prices. So a year later, what do we think of the shop’s $20+ cake slices and other treats? Let’s find out…
