Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a major makeover with all the additions arriving into the park over the next few years. What better way is there to showcase those changes than with a brand new sign?!
Calling all Resistance Pilots and First Order Captains: we spotted some out-of-this-galaxy phone cases in Disneyland that you NEED!
The Star Trader
The Star Trader in Disneyland Park is always chock-full of Star Wars goodies, and this is no exception! Let’s start with these awesome Black Spire Outpost specific cases:
We have some new out-of-this-galaxy treats to tell you about in Disneyland Resort! White Water Snacks at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel has introduced Star Wars Donuts AND a Darth Vader Cupcake!
Star Wars Donut
The Star Wars donuts are vanilla cake donuts with “berry swirl” frosting, some completely awesome iridescent chocolate rocks, and white chocolate pieces shaped like R2-D2 or an X-wing Starfighter.
opens in under a week (that’s wild to say!!), and one new technology in the land will fit right in the palm of your hand: your cell phone! That’s because your smartphone will transform into a datapad when you enter Black Spire Outpost. It’s all part of the Play Disney Parks app, and the latest update of the app — live NOW — allows users to interact with the Star Wars Datapad features for Galaxy’s Edge!
Play Disney Parks App
Upon opening the app, you’ll navigate to the Disneyland map where you’ll notice a few new images on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge portion of the map. (You can take a closer look around Galaxy’s Edge on the app by clicking here.) [Read more…]
Disneyland Park’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens in a matter of days
, and last evening, Disneyland President Josh D’Amaro shared a picture on his Instagram that is blowing. our. minds. It’s a sea of “inhabitants of Batuu” gathered for a cast member rally in Galaxy’s Edge, and it’s EPIC!
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Inhabitants of Batuu
In the image we see hundreds of cast members in costumes designed to help them set the stage as Citizens of Batuu. (Click here to see Galaxy’s Edge costumes up close!) In the background: the impressive Millennium Falcon showcased in the land’s first major attraction Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Further back, we spy a delivery shuttle on the top of the land’s fast casual dining spot Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. The skyline of Black Spire Outpost features jagged rock outcroppings, while buildings show the wear-and-tear of galactic life.
Yeah, we want to go to there. 😉
We were able to literally set foot into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge last week to catch a glimpse of the incredible land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While photos were not permitted, you can read about what we saw here!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
But today, YOU can take your own first look, because D23 has released photos which will allow everyone to peek inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And it looks seriously INCREDIBLE. So, let’s explore this insanely detailed land together!
Naturally, those famous Disney details will extend to all five dining options in Galaxy’s Edge, including the land’s fast-casual restaurant, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo where below you’ll see examples of details that tie in important Star Wars history and information.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo will be packed with crates carrying the finest food ingredients from all over the galaxy to the kitchen of Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs. The 80 seen in these two photos (above and below) is a reference to the year that The Empire Strikes Back debuted in theatres. Pretty cool, right? Also, be on the lookout for 77 and 83, the years that the other two films from the original trilogy were released!
