Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
We just took a walk around the park to see what’s new, so here are the latest updates!
Character meet and greets in the Disney parks are a little different right now.
Each of the parks has character cavalcades — “mini parades” that allow guests to see their favorite characters strolling through the park for a short time. However, we’ve also seen a number of physically distanced meet and greets in Disney World, like Buzz in Tomorrowland, Captain Jack in Adventureland, and Winnie the Pooh next to the Imagination Pavilion. The character meets have also changed over in Galaxy’s Edge, and today we noticed some new differences…namely an outfit change with one of our heroes!
Do you ever get bored in the middle of the day and start browsing Amazon for Disney merch? YEAH, us too!
There’s no shortage of stuff out there to buy. Some of it is VERY normal, like Funko Pops or Baby Yoda toys. But some of that merch — even a familiar face — can leave us with our mouths on the floor!
Love LEGO toys and brick sets?
Then you’re in luck! The LEGO Store is open in Disney Springs and we’re even getting a LEGO Star Wars holiday special on Disney+ soon! We stopped by the Disney Springs LEGO Store recently and saw some incredible new outdoor sculptures. You’ve got to check them out!
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to pilot the Millennium Falcon? Have you been dying to meet Rey, Chewbacca, and perhaps even Kylo Ren?
Well, Good Housekeeping is here to be your very own Fairy Godmother, because they’re ready to make some wishes come true! That’s right — Good Housekeeping is giving away a trip to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World!
IT’S HERE! The Rise of Skywalker has premiered at theaters around the world, wrapping up the saga and the story of our heroes (and villains).
Whether you’ve seen the movie or you’re going to soon, you can step right into the action of the film in Disney World! Y’know, before or after you visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for Rise of the Resistance, that is!
Epic journeys, ancient dragons, and secret pasts?!
The recent D23 Expo has given us all the feels with the news they’ve dropped. After getting an inside scoop at the Disney+ Panel (Lizzie McGuire is coming back — this is what dreams are made of!!) and the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Panel (have you seen the three neighborhoods coming to Epcot??), we made our way to The Walt Disney Studios Panel… And, we’ve got ALL THE DEETS about what’s in store for Star Wars, Marvel, Disney live-action adaptations, Pixar, and The Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Welcome back to another roundup of What’s New in Disney Springs!
We have a lot to cover today, including a brand new food truck, Halloween merchandise, and a refreshing new drink — let’s get started!
In the Star Wars universe, Takodana is a beautiful planet covered in picturesque lakes and stunning greenery where Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs previously created dishes for Maz Kanata in her castle. Now that he’s docked for a bit in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu in Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge, he’s created a Takodana namesake drink that may take green to the next level!
Rebels, spies, and DFB readers alike can take a soft landing in Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge for a quick, boozy drink before continuing on their journeys throughout Batuu.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park
has opened its gates, and we’ve explored the planet of Batuu and its pock-marked village, Black Spire Outpost, to bring you the Ultimate Guide to this brand new land.
The citizens of Batuu (a/k/a cast members!) use many unfamiliar expressions when interacting with each other and with guests. You might start your visit hearing “Bright suns”, which is Batuu for hello. “Till the Spire” is one way to say good-bye. But if you’re leaving Black Spire Outpost to return to Earth (i.e. Disneyland Park), you might hear a citizen ask if you’re “going off-world”.
There are some Star Wars-themed expressions that contribute to the spirit and backstories of the land. [Read more…]
