food IS a theme park
Happy Star Wars Day, everyone! May the 4th be with you!
Star Wars time!
We’re checking out all the Star Wars snacks and popcorn buckets you can get right now in Disney World. From tiny lightsabers to chocolate X-Wings and more, here’s your full guide to Star Wars snacks in Disney World.
Disney adults do not casually prepare for vacation. We research. We optimize. We pack like we’re heading into a lightly themed wilderness survival scenario with snacks, chargers, backup chargers, blister bandages, and at least one purchase that makes other people say, “You bought what for Disney World?”
Enter the Oura Ring.

And honestly? I get it. If you’re the kind of person who wants to know whether you’re actually rested enough for rope drop, whether that EPCOT festival day cooked your battery, or whether your body is quietly filing a complaint after three straight park days, the Oura Ring has become a very tempting little piece of tech. The Amazon angle makes it even more appealing, because this is one of those purchases that practically begs to be bundled with the accessories you already know you’re going to want five minutes later.
May the 4th be with you! Yes, we’ve made that joke all day, and no, we’re not tired of it yet.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There is no better place to celebrate Star Wars Day than by going to Disney Parks! Now, we’re not the only people who want to celebrate this iconic holiday in the theme parks, and that means the crowds have arrived like the Millennium Falcon.
It can be hard to decide whether to stay at the theme park during your vacation or somewhere off-property, which is usually cheaper.
Universal Orlando
While it can be a bit more magical to stay close to the parks, do the perks really outweigh the price? Well, we’re adding another perk to the hotel list, and this might just make a stay totally worth it.
You may be tired of hearing the words “major changes,” “closures,” and “Disney World” all in the same sentence, but we’re here, yet again, to warn you that in just ONE week, a massive change is going to take place in Magic Kingdom that you need to know about!
The Diamond Horseshoe
Disney World’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event is set to begin on May 26th and run through September 8th, and as part of the event, numerous additions are coming to the four theme parks. Over in Magic Kingdom, there’s one restaurant that’s about to close to make room for a summer experience, which means this will be your last week to dine here for quite some time!
We go to Disney World almost every day, which means we’re always on the lookout for new gear and travel essentials that should make it into your park bag.
We wore poncho pants in Disney World
We’ve tried everything from water bottles to rain hats to mobile chargers to neck fans. Let’s talk about rain gear, though. Now, we’ve already discovered that shoe covers and ponchos are VERY handy to have in the theme parks, but what about poncho pants? No, really…those are a thing that exists, and we tested them in Disney World.
May the 4th is here, and the iconic merch has arrived! Now, if you didn’t get the chance to visit the parks today, don’t panic, because we have a list of all the best merch that is available online!
Millennium Falcon
SO let’s dive into everything and see what new Star Wars merch you need to grab to celebrate May the 4th in style.
We are less than a month away from piloting the Millennium Falcon with the Mandalorian and Grogu, and Disney just gave us a new look at the attraction.

Be prepared to see one of the cutest Grogu appearances ever. No, really. If you thought he couldn’t get any cuter, you’re wrong.
A new Star Wars store dropped on Amazon just in time for Star Wars Day! There are deals up to 50% off toys, apparel, and more, and Star Wars fans are going to want to get in on this.

There are lots of LEGO sets, Squishmallows, and collectibles, and we seriously can’t pick a favorite.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is reopening at Magic Kingdom soon, but when will be the best time for you to ride it?
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
This coaster has been closed for a lengthy refurbishment, and it will reopen on May 3rd. Disney has announced that when the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” reopens, it will not be available during Early Theme Park Entry for Disney resort guests. That leaves many guests wondering, when will be the best time to ride?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
