Animal Kingdom is getting a new Tropical Americas land, and we can’t wait!

A NEW Disney Villain Is Coming to Galaxy’s Edge

By Leave a Comment

Disneyland’s Star Wars area is getting a massive upgrade! Galaxy’s Edge is a Star Wars-themed land on both the East and West Coasts, and they’ve been very similar. You’ll explore Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu that the First Order has overtaken. You can meet Kylo Ren and his Stormtroopers, ride the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca, and help Finn, Rey, and the Rebel Alliance take down the First Order. Both lands have been set during the sequel trilogy – until now!

Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge

While Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World will stay the same, the West Coast’s Disneyland area will be completely rethemed to be set during the original trilogy. This means new characters from “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Return of the Jedi” will be roaming around the park. But how will these changes impact the characters currently in Galaxy’s Edge?

REVIEW: This Disney World Dole Whip Won’t Last for Long

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is known for its DOLE Whips, from classic flavors like pineapple to more adventurous seasonal flavors that rotate often. So when we were in EPCOT yesterday, we were so excited to see that they added a different DOLE Whip flavor!

Yum!

Refreshment Outpost in the World Showcase offers both permanent menu items and rotating festival sweet treats. EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts begins January 16th, and while we can’t wait for all the new goodies, we’re pretty sure this DOLE Whip will be taken over by a festival offering at the end of this week.
