food IS a theme park
In Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you can find gear for both Jedi and Sith.
Galaxy’s Edge
And that includes lightsabers! We’ve previously seen hilts for Rey, General Leia Organa, and Count Dooku. And now, there’s an EPIC new option.
You’ve probably heard that Disney World will be getting its very own IMMERSIVE Star Wars Hotel!

We’ve slowly but surely been learning tidbits about Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. The delayed opening was recently announced, the hotel will feature a new kind of lightsaber, and there will be a pretty cool featured dining experience onboard. Now, we know a little more about the current behind-the-scenes progress on the upcoming offering!
As Disney World gets busier, we’ve seen some longer wait times for attractions.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Marketplace
But we’ve also seen long lines for shops. There’s a small marketplace of shops at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that is NOTORIOUS for long lines because of the area’s limited capacity (and its small space).
It’s almost June, which means Disney is gearing up for Pride Month!
Rainbow Collection
Disney tends to celebrate Pride Month each year with a special Rainbow collection, which we’ve already seen debut. As you may guess, you can snag MagicBands, collectible keys, ears, and so much more. But you can snag a more unique Pride souvenir, too…and you’ll find it tucked away in Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
It is a good time to be a Star Wars fan!
Which Lightsaber Would You Choose?
Recently, we celebrated May the 4th (a.k.a. Star Wars day) with some awesome discounts, special food, and some epic lightsaber hilts. And now a NEW legacy lightsaber hilt has arrived in Disney World!
As much as we love Disney World, not everything that they try to pull off in the parks is a slam dunk.
Some things don’t go over as great as Disney hoped they would.
We’ve seen some interesting ride ideas, some weird snacks, and a ton of things that just made us scratch our heads (Donald Duck being replaced by a hat-wearing plant, anyone?). Today we’re breaking down the times that Disney World tried to do something interesting and it didn’t go quite as planned. Hey, we’re still giving them an ‘A’ for effort!
We’re VERY excited for a certain hotel offering coming to Disney World soon. Can you guess which?

Yep, it’s the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. This totally immersive offering will debut in 2022 and we can’t WAIT to visit The Sublight Lounge, see a “REAL” lightsaber in person, and more! Now, we’re checking in on behind-the-scenes progress!
We are BACK at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
May the 4th be with you
There’s just something so glamorous about this park, right? So while we were busy digging the old Hollywood vibe — and getting our Star Wars fandom on — we also checked around to see what might be new since we last visited. So on with the updates!
May the 4th is a pretty exciting day for Star Wars fans!
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
Why? Because it’s Star Wars Day! Get it? May the FOURTH be with you. We’ve been snacking on a whole slew of intergalactic treats already today like the Galactic Swirl Funnel Cake (and even wielding some Lightsaber CHURROS), but now we’re headed over to Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to see how they’re celebrating!
Boy has it been a BIG day for Star Wars fans.
Happy May the 4th!
After all, it’s May the 4th! We’ve already heard LOTS about the new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel, taken a peek at some new merchandise, and even checked out the celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But there’s MORE on the way! And according to Disney, if you’re visiting Black Spire Outpost in the next month, you’re in for some special surprises.
