Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
If you’re headed to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, you should know the area recently experienced some intense weather which may affect your ability to ride one of its star attractions.
Ah, Droid Depot! There’s nothing quite like building our own custom droids that makes us feel so ALIVE!
Droid Depot
Now that Disney’s Hollywood Studios has reopened, not much has changed in regards to Droid Depot’s process! You still need to make a reservation in order to build your own BB-Series droid (like BB-8) or R-Series droid (like R2D2), but we did spot a new discount on parts for your new pal!
Is there anything better than strolling the streets of Hollywood Studios with that old Hollywood music playing?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re not sure there is! Well, we swung by Disney’s Hollywood Studios to grab and update on all things cinema. Last time we were here we spotted some WACKY Mickey Glove Ears and we couldn’t find a droid we were looking for — what’s in store today? Here’s everything new in food, construction, and merchandise!
Disney World and Disneyland have LOTS of construction planned for multiple attractions and experiences around the parks over the next few years (we can’t wait to see the new The Princess and the Frog ride).
Rey and Chewbacca
Construction has just started to pick up in the parks after the closures, with other projects being postponed until later dates. However, Disney continues to be one step ahead in planning the next big thing coming to the parks. And, there might be an entirely new line of space cocktails that could come with the creation of Disney’s next bar!
When you go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, getting a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance can be a bit of a challenge. But when you DO get one, all that panic refreshing at 10AM or 2PM feels soooo worth it.
Rise of the Resistance
This massive Star Wars ride, however, is quite technologically advanced, which means that it breaks down and experiences little glitches from time to time.
An intergalactic trip to Batuu, otherwise known as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, can be filled with twists and turns. Whether we’re navigating the updated (and then updated once more!) Boarding Group distribution system for Rise of the Resistance or we’re experiencing an eerily empty Oga’s Cantina, Galaxy’s Edge sure knows how to keep us on our toes!
Stormtroopers
One of the ways Disney provides the fully immersive experience in Galaxy’s Edge is through their merchandise. So you could imagine our surprise when we noticed merchandise in a new spot!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is not only a Star Wars fan’s dream, but the lands in Disney World and Disneyland have so many gorgeous details.
Rise of the Resistance
While we’ve been back to piloting the Millennium Falcon on Smugglers Run and joining the Resistance on Rise of the Resistance, there is so much more to explore in Galaxy’s Edge.
If there’s one thing in the universe we’re totally and completely OBSESSED with, it has to be Baby Yoda, a.k.a., The Child!
Baby Yoda Plush
This little guy is EVERYWHERE. He’s on our shoulders, on our leggings, on our bedsheets, and in our toybox.
If there’s one ride we want to get on when we’re in Hollywood Studios, it’s Rise of the Resistance.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Rise of the Resistance has been crazy popular since it first opened, and that hasn’t changed in the reopened Disney parks. If you’re hoping for a trip to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to take a spin on this immersive ride, you’ll need to nab a spot in the virtual queue. Now, Disney is CHANGING the times that boarding groups are released! Learn when you can get them!
If you happen to be one of the Walt Disney World Annual Passholders who currently has a Disney Park Pass Reservation to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the next few weeks, then you will have the chance to take advantage of a pretty great discount!
