food IS a theme park
We’ve seen a LOT of Star Wars news released recently. We got more information about the release of season three of The Mandalorian, a sneak peek at new merchandise coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and even seen new characters roaming around Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland!
Boba Fett
If that’s still not enough Star Wars for you, then you need to check out the new Star Wars cars (yes, cars) from Volkswagen!
Father’s Day is right around the corner and there are so many ways to show your dad you appreciate him!
Father’s Day
We have a whole gift guide if you still don’t know what to get for Dad! But, if you’re in Disney World, you can find themed treats like an adorable Father and Son Cupcake or a very unique looking Father’s Day caramel blondie. And we recently saw a NEW treat just in time for the holiday!
IT’S HERE! The Rise of Skywalker has premiered at theaters around the world, wrapping up the saga and the story of our heroes (and villains).
The Rise of Skywalker Opening Night!
Whether you’ve seen the movie or you’re going to soon, you can step right into the action of the film in Disney World! Y’know, before or after you visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for Rise of the Resistance, that is!
Looking for something to quench your thirst – with a little kick – during your Star Wars Weekends adventure at Hollywood Studios?
If so, then there’s something you have to do first: you must Choose Your Side.
Star Wars Weekends Specialty Beverages
Two specialty beverages are available during Star Wars Weekends: The Dark Side and The Force. You can find them at temporary mini bars throughout Hollywood Studios, such as this one near Mama Melrose’s…
Mini Bar outside of Mama Melrose’s
… or this one near Sci-Fi Dine-In.

We’ll be looking at the two signature drinks served at each of these bars, but they also carry a small assortment of other beverages available for purchase.

The Dark Side, as you can see on the sign, is a mix of Coconut Rum, Cointreau, and Pomegranate Lemonade. As nice as that sounds, let’s face it — it’s all about the souvenir that comes with it: a Death Star glow cube!
The Dark Side

Attempting to submerge the Death Star
It popped back up less than a second later. I tried to submerge the Death Star several times. But the Death Star would not be submerged. True story.
Pop Up Death Star
Awesome Death Star notwithstanding, you still want to be sure you’ll enjoy the drink, so here’s what’s good to know: I was able to pick up on each flavor in the drink, from the Coconut Rum to the Cointreau and the lemonade.

Your other choice is, naturally, The Force. This beverage consists of Grey Goose Vodka, Chambord, and Wildberry Lemonade. The souvenir piece is a glowing Light Saber.
