food IS a theme park
Disney loves to do seasonal overlays and merch! From celebrations like Boo Bash to events like the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, Disney rings in the seasons with all sorts of special touches to the parks.

However, there was an…unusual seasonal item at Disneyland today that doesn’t quite belong in summer.
Until Friday, many details about the new Star Wars hotel have been kept under wraps. We had (more than a few) questions about the timeline, story elements, and food that would be available on the Galactic Starcruiser, but now we’ve got some answers!Â

In a pretty lengthy new video, Disney Imagineers sat down and explained tons of new information about the Star Wars: Galatic Starcruiser.
More and more Disneyland spots are reopening!
It’s back!
Today, we stopped by the newly reopened Hearthstone Lounge at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort to see how it was!
On May 20th, BoardWalk Ice Cream replaced Ample Hills Creamery as the new ice cream shop on Disney’s BoardWalk.

In the past, we’ve loved sundaes like the Thundering Surf Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae and the Bayside Brownie a la Mode. Now, BoardWalk Ice Cream has a brand-new offering and we checked it out!
We’re excited about many of the new projects coming to Disney World soon, but if there’s one that intrigues us the most, it would probably be the new Star Wars Hotel!
The Halcyon Model
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to open in 2022 and it’s unlike any other Disney Resort. It’ll be similar to a cruise ship experience, where guests are “onboard” for two days. However, there are also many interactive elements of your stay — and today we got a fresh look into what it’s going to be like!
It seems like there’s a new pair of Mickey or Minnie ears every time we turn around!
Studded Ears!
We just saw the release of the studded Mickey ears, EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival has some super cute apple orchard ears out, and the Black and Gold Minnie ears got a serious upgrade! And GUESS WHAT?! We have another NEW pair of ears to show you!!
We’ve all seen those dads in Disney who wear the funny shirts that say things like, “Most Expensive Day Ever.” Or maybe a simple #BROKE will suffice.

It’s funny because it’s TRUE! Because Disney World trips are so EXPENSIVE! HOWEVER, there are some things in Disney World that — shockingly enough — won’t break the bank to experience.
