food IS a theme park
Have you paid a visit to Disney World’s newest land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There are tons of things to see and do in the land, from building lightsabers to piloting the Millennium Falcon. Batuu is also known for having some of the coolest souvenirs around — Jedi robes, droids, and all kinds of fun toys. Today, one of the land’s most popular items returned…the space sporks!
Want to take a virtual trip around Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re constantly walking through the Disney World theme parks to see what’s new. During our most recent trip to Hollywood Studios, we got a peek at the crowd levels and wait times, a pastel clothing collection, and some NEW Star Wars Droid Light-Up Keychains! Join us now for a virtual stroll around the park to check it all out.

Star Wars fans, we’ve got GOOD news (but prepare your wallets).
Droid Depot
Recently, Disney introduced Star Wars Trading Post, an offering in Downtown Disney, Disney Springs, and online that lets folks buy Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise OUTSIDE of the parks. Now, another round of merch is coming to the Trading Posts!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to interactive experiences that allow you to build your own droid or create your own lightsaber.
Sith Holocron with Force Guidance Crystal
Well, Disney just upped the ante with a NEW way to customize your lightsaber and holocrons! The kyber crystal is the force behind any lightsaber and holocron. At Galaxy’s Edge, you can choose the color of your kyber crystal to fit your mood and display what side of the force you represent. Are you on the Dark Side or a Jedi fighting with the Resistance? You can represent your choice with kyber crystals. The crystals customize your lightsaber AND allow you to interact with a holocron!
Star Wars fans! You no longer have to enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios to snag some Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merch.
Star Wars Trading Post
Last week, a new Star Wars gift shop overtook WonderGround Gallery in Disneyland Resort. The new store is selling lightsabers, droids, and other souvenirs you can find inside Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Now, Walt Disney World is joining in on the galactic fun! Disney Springs is hosting a Passholder preview of the Galaxy’s Edge merch available at Star Wars Trading Post. We popped in to see what kind of space goodies we could find!
It’s been over six months since Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure closed due to the global health crisis.

But fortunately, those who on the West Coast who need to get a lil’ Disney fix (uh, us!) can head to Downtown Disney, the resort’s shopping and dining district.
An intergalactic trip to Batuu, otherwise known as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, can be filled with twists and turns. Whether we’re navigating the updated (and then updated once more!) Boarding Group distribution system for Rise of the Resistance or we’re experiencing an eerily empty Oga’s Cantina, Galaxy’s Edge sure knows how to keep us on our toes!
Stormtroopers
One of the ways Disney provides the fully immersive experience in Galaxy’s Edge is through their merchandise. So you could imagine our surprise when we noticed merchandise in a new spot!
We’re live from the grand re-opening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Queue
Shopping is a little different since Disney World re-opened. Some virtual queues have been implemented and social distancing markers are placed everywhere to create distance between guests. Earlier, we saw that The Marketplace Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was roped off and only allowing one guest per shop. We headed to The Droid Depot and Savi’s Workshop to see if the hands-on experiences were any different than before. [Read more…]
We’re back exploring Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Oga’s Cantina with Modified Seating
It’s not a trip to Batuu without a pit stop at Oga’s Cantina! Disney pre-warned us that the dining experience would be a little different than it was prior to closing and we got to see what that was all about today! [Read more…]
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened with a bang at Disneyland Park on May 31, and the Disney World version blasted off a few weeks later on August 29.
And with so much to experience in this immersive new land, we’re taking a look at seven things — big and small! — that you CAN’T miss when you visit Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu!
