Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
If you’re trying to live out your own Star Wars story in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or from the comfort of your own home, then you’ll probably want a lightsaber of your very own.
Legacy Hilts
One spot in Galaxy’s Edge will soon carry some very special lightsabers that are the first of their kind. Fans of Ahsoka Tano and Star Wars: The Clone Wars: you’ll definitely want to check this out.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios is a mystical place filled with unique dining and merchandise offerings. Here, you’re truly transported to another planet (the planet of Batuu, if you’re wondering). You can sip on Blue Milk, pilot the Millennium Falcon, and even create your own droid.
Batuuan Spira Gift Card
And since you’re being transported to a new planet, of course, Disney wants guests to be able to use that planet’s form of currency, if they’d like. When Galaxy’s Edge opened, guests could purchase a gold Batuuan Spira metal gift card. This was popular and sold out quickly at both Disney World and Disneyland. Yesterday, we shared that a silver version of this gift card was on the way.
A new piece of exclusive merchandise will soon be landing in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
From clothes to accessories and, of course, allllll of the Baby Yoda, we’ve seen a ton of incredible Star Wars merchandise in Disney World! And tomorrow, a brand new collectible item will be dropping in Batuu!
If you’re ready to live our your very own Star Wars adventure, then Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the place to be!

But, if you won’t be able to make the intergalactic trip to Batuu anytime soon, there’s an awesome way to bring the excitement of the land into your home by going to Target.
We’ve loved spotting the new Park Life MagicBands throughout Walt Disney World, so you can imagine our excitement when we recently stumbled upon a new one. These MagicBands feature each park front and center and include some super-cute artwork representing many of our favorite attractions.

So far, we’ve spotted a Park Life MagicBand for Magic Kingdom (along with a Mickey Mouse Park Life plush we couldn’t resist). There’s also an adorable Park Life MagicBand for EPCOT!

Disney World definitely looks and feels a little different now than it did back in March before the historic closures began. And while the only constant at Disney is change, one thing has seemed to hold steady. Rise of the Resistance is just as popular as it has ever been!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
This highly immersive attraction is STILL running out of those coveted Boarding Groups in seconds each and every day. So if this ride is at the top of your must-do list, you won’t have an easier time getting to ride, even with limited park capacity! Here are three things you need to be aware of if you’re visiting Disney World in the near future and your travel must-dos include riding Rise of the Resistance!
Disney World is currently offering limited park capacity, and one of the biggest differences we’ve seen in the parks is shorter wait times across the board! Prior to the park openings, limited capacity and the other major changes we’ve seen at Disney World caused many to wonder how the Boarding Group process for Disney’s newest attraction, Rise of the Resistance, would be impacted.
Rise of the Resistance
What we’ve experienced, however, is a whole lot more of the same when it comes to snagging a Boarding Group. So with access to this attraction being nearly as tricky as it was pre-closure, here are tips and tricks to guarantee yourself that elusive Rise of the Resistance boarding group.
