Guests visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge experience galactic travels like to no other in the city of Batuu.
We love docking on the planet and spending the day on missions for the rebel forces and can’t wait for the new Star Wars-themed hotel to open. But, for those looking to travel through even more galaxies from the hit films, there’s a new Star Wars edition of a classic game.

Last year, the pandemic caused the closure of every Disney park in the world. And some parks are still closed.
Although Disney World reopened last summer, the park is currently operating at limited capacity (which was recently raised from 25 to 35 percent), with new health and safety guidelines that include temperature checks upon entry into the park and a mask requirement for all guests over the age of two.
It has been a BUSY week for Disney merchandise!
We’ve seen a LOT of Valentine’s Day merchandise get dropped a month ahead of the holiday, several runDisney items in the parks, and even MORE Disney Dog and Disney Cat clothing! If you like to do some Disney shopping, you currently have no shortage of choices. Besides these things, a TON of new products arrived online, and we’re sharing all of them with you today!
Some people who visit Walt Disney World eat and stay exclusively on property. But, if you and your family like to also explore some of the surrounding areas in Orlando, you might be familiar with the Crossroads of Lake Buena Vista shopping center near Disney Springs.

Walt Disney World Gateway
This center was home to several businesses including TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Buffalo Wild Wings, and more. Back in 2019, the State of Florida acquired the complex. Now, a historic MILLION dollar agreement with the state has been finalized, and all stores at the center will soon be closing.

As much as we LOVE new Disney merch, we love not having to pay full price for it EVEN more. I mean, Disney released almost 100 pairs of ears in 2020! That adds up FAST!
Luckily, Disney will offer discounts on all of those ears, clothes, plushes, pins, and toys from time to time, and for D23 Gold Members, there’s a great new deal available!
