And if you’re a person who enjoys the growing complexity of planning a trip to WDW, we totally feel you on this!

Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The weather is chilly and the holiday crowds have arrived, but we still have lots of fun updates to share with you this week.

2019 is fast approaching, and the year — for Disney and Star Wars fans — is highly anticipated, since it’s the year that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open in Disneyland (summer) and Disney World (fall). The crowds that Galaxy’s Edge will bring to the parks are anticipated to be unprecedented, and there are some issues we think Disney will need to address (and, indeed, in some ways already are) before the land opens. So join in the discussion after checking out our latest DFB YouTube video! [Read more…]
With only three weeks left in 2018 we are getting closer and closer to the opening date of Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Land in the fall of 2019. Now, it looks like Disney is getting just as excited as we are because we spotted the previously seen Galaxy’s Edge merchandise in a more permanent location in Hollywood Studios! While we were in the park we also checked on the progress of the construction of the new land as well as renovations at Tatooine Traders.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge T-Shirt
Take a close look at the shirt — can you see the Millennium Falcon on there between “Landing” and “2019”? That’s a cool and subtle nod to the new ride, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
Last week we shared a birds-eye view of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, where construction of the Millennium Falcon appears to have reached completion. And now, we have a from-the-ground perspective to share thanks to @DisneyParks on Twitter!

YOU will get to take control of the Millennium Falcon in one of three unique flight crew roles when the attraction, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run opens in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in both Disneyland and Disney World in 2019. And in Disneyland (where Galaxy’s Edge will open next summer prior to the fall opening in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios), they are one MAJOR step closer to this new experience… because construction of the Millennium Falcon is now complete!
