Where else can you take a shot at flying the Millennium Falcon or going head-to-head with The First Order for the Rebellion? Where else can you see the Mandalorian and Grogu wandering about, along with Chewbacca?

This $3,000 Souvenir at Disney’s Hollywood Studio Made Our Jaws Drop

By Leave a Comment

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to some fantastic treasures — you’ve got some of the most popular attractions in the whole resort, two entirely new lands on the way, and, what many people don’t know, is that you can find some truly incredible souvenirs here.

You can find some amazing souvenirs in this park!

While this park is less themed towards the MAKING of films in comparison to how it was when it first opened and in its first few decades of operation, there are still some gems you can find that nod towards how the movies are made. Over at Tatooine Traders right near Star Tours, we found some PRICELESS souvenirs that any Star Wars fan would love to have in their home, but there’s one catch — they’re EACH nearly $3,000.

The WORST Disney World Ride Seat Is Getting a HUGE Upgrade in 2026

By 1 Comment

Listen, I love Disney World rides with my whole heart. I don’t care where I sit as long as I get to fully experience the ride, but there are also some seats that just aren’t as good as others. We’re not talking about the front versus the back on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or on Cosmic Rewind, but on Smugglers Run.

New missions will be added to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu.

If you didn’t know, Smugglers Run is getting an update on May 22nd at both Disney World and Disneyland, and with that comes a change to the engineer seat.

The Harsh Reality of Buying Lightsabers in Disney World

By 5 Comments

One of the best souvenirs Star Wars fans can get in Disney World is a lightsaber from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re getting it from Savi’s Workshop, it’s not just a purchase…it’s an EXPERIENCE.

Millennium Falcon

Nothing beats walking out of the park as a brand-new Jedi, lightsaber in hand. While the experience of getting a new lightsaber is amazing, there are some issues that come up after you purchase it. You don’t know the struggle until you’ve had to carry an unwieldy lightsaber through the park for the rest of the day trying to figure out how to get it on rides. It can also be a hassle carrying it around in the airport (but, at least it qualifies as a carry-on item on the plane).

Does Anyone Else Miss This Terrifying (but AWESOME) Part of Rise of the Resistance in Disney World?

By 1 Comment

There was a time when Rise of the Resistance took guests even closer to the Dark Side.

Beck!

Over my 30+ years visiting Disney’s theme parks, I can’t recall too many major attractions that have quite as mixed a reputation. On the one hand, the massive Star Wars E-Ticket is hailed by many as one of the best attractions Disney has ever created, with its trackless ride system, massive immersive sets, and multi-experience queue that almost counts as an attraction of itself. Others will counter that while the ride system is extraordinary, it’s also prone to breakdowns, delays, and long waits. However, both sides of the argument wish that this one rarely seen element would return.
