food IS a theme park
Shout out from the West Coast to all our DFB friends! HOLLA!
Clarabelle and Oswald!
We’ve been to Disneyland Resort, hanging around Disney California Adventure, Disneyland, and Downtown Disney to check in to see what’s been up since we were last there. And we’ve got TONS of updates for you, so let’s get to them!
We love visiting Batuu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios if only to see what cool new Star Wars merchandise ends up there.
Star Wars plushes!
And we’ve seen some VERY cool stuff, including Chewbacca socks, a Droid Depot backpack, and some pretty sweet lightsabers! But today, we spotted some brand new items that you might just want to give a big hug!
Boy has it been a BIG day for Star Wars fans.
Happy May the 4th!
After all, it’s May the 4th! We’ve already heard LOTS about the new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel, taken a peek at some new merchandise, and even checked out the celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But there’s MORE on the way! And according to Disney, if you’re visiting Black Spire Outpost in the next month, you’re in for some special surprises.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Greetings from Hollywood Studios!
This is where we rustle up all the construction, food, and merchandise updates we’ve spotted around this Disney World park for you!
Whenever a new land opens at Walt Disney World, the hype is always extremely real. But we all know that like anything else, that excitement can flicker out pretty quickly (AKA any YA novel fandom).
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disney World
The question is: how do you test if a land is a hit in Disney after it opens? It’s not only its initial popularity that keeps it high on the list but the continual visits from guests, how long the wait times are, and even what’s inside the land itself (still not over the Viewmaster slides in Toy Story Land tbh). And the differences between Pandora’s opening in 2017 and Galaxy’s Edge’s opening this year seem to show — at least anecdotally — that the two don’t stack up very similarly in terms of overall popularity.
We’re stepping into the Toydarian Toymaker to explore all the whimsy and wonder of TOYS in Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park
has opened its gates, and we’ve explored the planet of Batuu and its pock-marked village, Black Spire Outpost, to bring you the Ultimate Guide to this brand new land.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
The citizens of Batuu (a/k/a cast members!) use many unfamiliar expressions when interacting with each other and with guests. You might start your visit hearing “Bright suns”, which is Batuu for hello. “Till the Spire” is one way to say good-bye. But if you’re leaving Black Spire Outpost to return to Earth (i.e. Disneyland Park), you might hear a citizen ask if you’re “going off-world”.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There are some Star Wars-themed expressions that contribute to the spirit and backstories of the land. [Read more…]
Attendees at Star Wars Celebration Chicago got a sneak peek at the merchandise coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the Galaxy’s Edge booth at the Star Wars fan event.

And while we’ve known for some time that the merchandise coming to Galaxy’s Edge would be incredibly unique and sold in immersive locations like Toydarian Toymaker, the Creature Stall, and more, Disney has shared more than a few peeks at the merchandise on the way for everyone to see! [Read more…]
