food IS a theme park
It’s finally happening!
Smugglers Run
Back in August 2024 it was announced that changes would be coming to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run to bring the upcoming storylines from the upcoming Star Wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu, hitting theaters in 2026, to the ride. Now we finally know that the change will be happening on May 22nd, 2026!
What could possibly make a Corkcicle sling bag better? Star Wars, of course.

Corkcicle bags have become a hot new item recently, as these stylish crossbody bags offer a fashionable way to carry water bottles, keys, and personal essentials. Now, the brand is offering two adorable new Star Wars options on Amazon.
It can get pretty hot in Disney World during the summer, and it is important to stay hydrated while you are enjoying the parks.
Target just dropped some great water bottles!
We just found some water bottles at Target that would be PERFECT to take into the parks! (Or just an everyday water bottle, you can never have too much Disney stuff!)
This is the ride update you’re looking for (finally)!
Star Tours
It’s been a while since Star Tours was updated from its original ride form to include a random mix of scenes, storyline, and surprise characters to take you through your entire adventure. While it’s a tease that’s been in existence for quite some time now, we finally have a lengthy array of Star Wars spin-off series on Disney+ to unite fans no matter when your first exposure to the franchise was. Now, the day has finally come to experience it together and see all the changes! [Read more…]
At the 2023 Destination D23 event at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Disney World, we learned that Star Tours, the ride in Hollywood Studios and Disneyland, would be receiving some new updates.
Star Tours in Hollywood Studios
Over the years, this simulator ride and the show at its premise have undergone several changes, including new characters and new missions. Well, the day has finally come. This classic Star Wars ride that was created by Disney and Lucasfilm is getting another upgrade. Let’s take a look at what you might experience the next time you take a ride on Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
One of Disney’s most legendary attractions is getting an upgrade TOMORROW!

Star Tours first opened at Disneyland to massive hoopla in 1987, and almost immediately became one of the park’s most popular – and most beloved – attractions. Clones of the revolutionary-for-the-time simulator attractions came to both Walt Disney World’s MGM Studios theme park and Tokyo Disneyland in 1989, and opened with Disneyland Paris in 1992. For decades, Disney and George Lucas teased the idea that new ride films could be added to the attraction, which finally came to pass in the early 2010s when each version closed, only to be reopened as Star Tours: The Adventure Continues, with alternating randomized experiences featuring differed locales and characters from the Star Wars galaxy. Since the new versions opened, they have been continuously updated with additional alternating scenes from new Star Wars projects.
It’s almost time to head over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for some CHANGES!
The AT-AT was misting the guests down below!
That’s right! We are going to be seeing some updates to a ride in a land far far away. If you’re familiar with Star Tours — The Adventures Continue, you know that no two rides are ever the same (okay, that’s a slight exaggeration, but still.) That is something we LOVE about the ride, but now we have something even BETTER to look forward to when we hop on this ride in the future. [Read more…]

Happy Thanksgiving, DFB Readers.
An annual tradition!
We’re still in the midst of enjoying the holiday season in Disney World, meaning we’re still eating all the holiday snacks and enjoying the holiday decorations. But on Thanksgiving, we also watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, and this year, we saw several Disney floats and balloons.
