food IS a theme park
There are some REALLY interesting people in the Disney parks.
Disneyland Park
No, we’re not talking about the guests or the random celebrities we spot from time to time — we’re talking about the Disney characters! We’re used to spotting Mickey Mouse and the princesses, and though we love them dearly, we get a little extra excited when we see those “rare” characters out and about. This week, we’re adding to that list with a very cool sighting in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Star Wars Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate! During the May the 4th celebration, we tried the Dark Side Chocolate Creation and a Galactic Swirl Funnel Cake in Hollywood Studios, and Mango (yes, mango) Blue Milk in Disneyland!
This is the droid you’re looking for!
One of the best ways to celebrate Star Wars year-round is with a visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. There you can get into the intergalactic spirit with a spin on Rise of the Resistance, grab a Ronto Wrap, or take a trip to Oga’s Cantina. We recently stopped by Oga’s Cantina in Disneyland to try some new menu items introduced for Star Wars Day and we HAVE to tell you about them!
Grab your lightsabers and droids and get ready to head to Batuu (if you’re able to get a park pass, that is), because tomorrow is May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day!
‘Star Wars’: Galaxy’s Edge
We’ve already gotten a sneak peek at the food offerings that will be available in both Disney World and Disneyland, as well as shared unique ways to celebrate this special holiday, and now, Disney has released some more details about how you’ll be able to make your day a little more intergalactic.
If there’s one thing you’ll always find at the Disney theme parks (besides fun times, great rides, and delicious food), it’s crowds!

Thankfully there are plenty of secret pathways and ways to avoid crowd burnout. Today, we’re talking about 5 places that are ALWAYS stressful in Disney parks and where to go instead!
Imagine that you’ve just spent THOUSANDS of dollars to go on a totally immersive experience. Quite literally — thousands. of. dollars. You’d want to milk that experience for all that it’s worth, right? Now comes the wild part. What if we told you that part way through that experience you’d have the chance to (and maybe even want to?) LEAVE the central location where the experience is conducted and go on some more missions in a different place?

Disney World’s new Star Wars hotel will soon be open, which means you’ll soon be able to live inside a Star Wars story for two nights. You’ve donned your costume, learned how to wield a lightsaber, and fueled up with some Blue Milk, so now it’s time to…leave the hotel in the middle of your trip? Why in the galaxy would you leave before the experience is done? Well, now we’ve got some answers on what you can experience if you DO take this excursion off of the Halcyon, and just what is included in this adventure.
The Star Wars hotel — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — is opening on March 1st, 2022.

With the grand opening approaching, we’ve found out more and more about what you can expect on the ship! We’ve seen some of the merchandise that will be available, a look at one of the characters on board, and saw what the rooms will look like. And now, Disney has released a special welcome message straight from the Starcruiser!
Over the years, Disney World has made quite a few BIG decisions!
Like changing the park entertainment options!
They’ve introduced new offerings, updated old attractions, and tried a variety of new snack and merchandise options. Some of these decisions have been popular, but others, well…not so much. Today we’re discussing the times that Disney World missed the mark a liiiiittle bit!
It’s been a wild weekend at Destination D23, and we have learned SO MUCH more about the Galactic Starcruiser, aka the Star Wars Hotel. We’ve gotten a better look at those fancy lightsabers that Halcyon performers will use, we’ve learned more about the characters onboard, and we even saw how each guest’s actions can affect the whole experience.
There are TONS of Easter Eggs for the Galactic Starcruiser in Galaxy’s Edge!
But we’ve still got MORE details to report, and this time, we’re heading over to Batuu, aka Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
In a galaxy not far, far away, people will soon be able to “board” the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (aka the Star Wars hotel) for a 2-night immersive Star Wars experience in Disney World.

Disney is still releasing information about what’s included in this 2-night itinerary, which carries a hefty price tag, and you’ll probably want to know about one Galaxy’s Edge spot that is NOT included in the price of a Star Wars hotel reservation. So if you’re budgeting for a visit to a galaxy far, far away — read on.
Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is one of Disney’s most popular and controversial rides.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Between breakdowns and not being able to get a boarding group, Rise of the Resistance has become a love/hate relationship for some people. Today, however, we saw something that we don’t tend to see. [Read more…]
