food IS a theme park
Have you heard of Disney World’s Metaverse? If not, we’ve got you covered.

The future of Disney is all about the cutting edge of technology with the merge of technological and physical experiences, from rides and attractions to accessories and more in Disney Parks. So…what does all of this mean? Let’s go over it!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a fully immersive land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios where you can enjoy the world of Star Wars!
Galaxy’s Edge
One of the best parts of Galaxy’s Edge is its awesome merchandise, from Porg plushes to build-your-own lightsabers! But today, we’re taking a look at some Star Wars merch that’s…a little more unexpected!
We’ve seen various versions of the iconic Star Wars lightsaber over the years, but never a REAL one — until recently. During Disney’s D23 event, we got the inside scoop on some of the exciting new things coming to the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, including another look at Disney’s REAL lightsaber!

Josh D’Amaro, the current Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, gave a live preview of the lightsaber. Let’s check it out!
You know it’s a good day when you find not one, but TWO new pairs of Minnie ears in a Disney park! Lately, we’ve been in the mood to go shopping. Maybe it’s because the holidays are coming, or maybe it’s because Disney just released a ton of new holiday merchandise!
The Force is calling us… to shop!
Either way, we headed over to the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney, and we were not disappointed by what we found!
Happy October! After MONTHS of preparing and waiting for the 50th Anniversary Celebration this month, it’s finally here! So much has changed in Disney World since the beginning of the year; it would take a novel to break down all the changes and announcements since January.

Instead, let’s look back at all the new things we found out in September! (There’s a lot — see if you remembered it all!)
Disney’s Fastpass+ service is no longer in place, but there’s a NEW Fastpass+ replacement coming soon to Disney World called Disney Genie+. If you miss strolling through the Fastpass line to board your favorite attraction, you might be interested in paying for Disney Genie+, which will give guests access to over 40 attractions in Disney World.

As we wait for Disney Genie to take over, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for new Lightning Lane signage around the parks. We put together a handy little list of ALL the Disney attractions that will use Lightning Lanes (AKA the old Fastpass lane).
The new Star Wars hotel, located right in Hollywood Studios’ backyard, is shaping up to be Walt Disney World’s most immersive experience ever.

And Disney has been giving us a BUNCH of details over the past several months! We know when it’s going to open (roughly), what some of the food will look like, what the itinerary might include, and got more information about pricing. We’re getting really excite about this galactic adventure, and with all of the information we’ve gotten so far, we wanted to make sure nothing gets left behind! So, we compiled a list of 4 things you forgot were coming to the Star Wars Galatic Starcruiser.
Disney World’s more than just riding Space Mountain and eating copious amounts of Dole Whip. (Don’t tell us to *shush*. It’s TRUE.)
Dole Whip!
In fact, it’s SO true that we’ve created an ENTIRE LIST of all the things you probably didn’t realize you could do in Disney World. (And if you DID know these things, well…then you need to share them with your friends who are riding Space Mountain for the thousandth time in a row! Variety is the spice of life so vary it up!!)
A (not so) long, long time ago in a galaxy (not so) far away, a quaint little watering hole named Oga’s Cantina opened up in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.
Oga’s Cantina
We’ve tried every drink this spot has to offer! But there’s ONE DRINK guests — including us — keep coming back to time and time again. The Fuzzy Tauntaun. It’s easily the most unique drink on the menu for good reason: IT MAKES YOUR MOUTH NUMB! 🤯 So what are you to do if the craving for one strikes “off-world” (AKA, your home)? Make it yourself! Not only that, but we have a BONUS recipe too. Put on your lab coats and bust out the pocket protectors — it’s about to get sciencey up in here.
Oh man, a controversial snack has once again appeared in Disney World!
Outpost Mix
When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it brought with it space popcorn from Kat Saka’s Kettle. This polarizing spot reopened last month and now its sometimes-loved-sometimes-hated feature offering has returned!
