Star Wars Merchandise
Well, the first thing we noticed when we arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning was that there were a LOT of folks looking to snag some Star Wars merchandise.
We had to scan into a virtual queue to be able to snag the merchandise at select Hollywood Studios locations and right at 9AM, there were already 849 PARTIES ahead of us.
Whew! It seems like there’s QUITE the demand for these new items!

A LOT of new Star Wars merchandise is set to be available today including apparel featuring the new Disney+ series “The Bad Batch” (also debuting today) and new Star Tours Wishables!
They’re v. cute.

While we waited our turn, we were able to pop into Celebrity 5& 10 to see the Star Wars Starbucks Been There Series featuring mugs inspired by Tatooine, Batuu, and Endor.
We weren’t able to spot the Endor Mug in Disney World just yet but it IS available online!
