The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is going to go down as one of the most fascinating projects undertaken by the Walt Disney Company. Some would argue it was an ahead of its time, unforgettable interactive experience that immersed users in the Star Wars universe. Others may refer to it as an overpriced boondoggle that underdelivered on its premise. What can’t be denied is that, for the 19 months it was open, there was no shortage of opinions on the Star Wars hotel.

I Go to Disney World Every Day. These 28 Snacks NEVER Get Old.

By 2 Comments

Our DFB reporters go to Disney World literally every single day. We visit the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. We spend HOURS collecting information, taking photos, and — yes — EATING. After decades of visiting the parks, you’d think we’d be completely sick of all the food in Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

That assumption would be partially correct. There are definitely days when we think we might puke if we have to eat one more cupcake. But there are a few (well, more than a few) snacks that we NEVER get tired of eating, even after having eaten them dozens of times! [Read more…]

We’ve gotta be honest here. This is a safe space, right? OK. Here goes. Confession time.
