If you’re heading to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, then there are several treats that you’ll probably want to try!
The most controversial milk in the galaxy!
You’ll want to stop by the Milk Stand to try out blue and green milk, and you may want to snag a reservation at Oga’s Cantina to test out some of the more “unique” drinks in the galaxy. A fan-favorite snack that we highly recommend is the Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters — but did you know that you can find it elsewhere with a BONUS side?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some exciting new experiences on the way!
Tree of Life
We’ve been celebrating Easter all around Disney World with sweet treats and seriously impressive egg displays, but you may have forgotten about another special occasion comin’ up in April! Earth Day is April 22nd, and Animal Kingdom is celebrating with a whole bunch of Earth Week celebrations.
