The Darksaber Is Back in Stock at Disney World — Here’s Where To Find It!

Although many people only recently became aware of the Darksaber through The Mandalorian on Disney+, most Star Wars fans know a lot more about the lore behind the ancient weapon.

Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities

The Darksaber was seen in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and then later turned up in another animated series Star Wars: Rebels. It has a long history in Star Wars lore, but more importantly, it made a comeback on The Mandalorian and could play an important part in the future of the show’s story.

Are Single Rider Lines ACTUALLY Any Faster in Disney World?

By Zac Panza 3 Comments

As Disney World continues to open up and increase capacity, the wait times have gotten longer and longer. Higher capacity and no FastPasses means that there’s a ton of people going for those standby lines.

How Much Would You Pay To Ride Disney World’s Rise of the Resistance WITHOUT A Boarding Group?

By Robin Burks 12 Comments

UPDATE: A few days ago we called Disney’s VIP Tour phone line and spoke with a Cast Member. The Cast Member we spoke to at that point informed us that that Boarding Groups for Rise of the Resistance were not included in VIP Tours and guests would still need to try and sign up for them during the day. On July 16th, however, we spoke with another Cast Member and they stated that a single ride on Rise of the Resistance is included in the VIP Tours without the need to obtain a Boarding Group. On October 14th a VIP Tours Cast Member told us that the tour WILL include a ride on Rise of the Resistance, meaning if you’re on the tour, you can bypass the line for one ride. We’ll continue to look for more updates.

Until recently, the only way to get on the Rise of the Resistance ride in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was to get a boarding pass. And that could be really difficult!
