It’s becoming more and more fashionable to join the Resistance.

In case you weren’t already motivated enough to rise up against the First Order, we found a snazzy NEW piece of headgear in Disney World that’ll get you suited up in style!
Disney World is a snacker’s paradise, but obvi not ALL snacks are made the same, and not all snacks are necessarily worth your while!
Dole Whip!
In a land of iconic treats, there are inevitably going to be some worthwhile hits, and some…meh? To really dig in, we conducted a scientific study (aka conducted an Instagram poll) to determine the most underrated and overrated snacks in Disney World!
Rise of the Resistance remains an extremely high-demand attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

With a virtual queue in use, this Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ride is one of the most challenging attractions to get a seat on in all of Disney World. Now, Disney is changing the distribution times for accessing the virtual queue AGAIN.
Character meet and greets in the Disney parks are a little different right now.
Pixar Motorcade
Each of the parks has character cavalcades — “mini parades” that allow guests to see their favorite characters strolling through the park for a short time. However, we’ve also seen a number of physically distanced meet and greets in Disney World, like Buzz in Tomorrowland, Captain Jack in Adventureland, and Winnie the Pooh next to the Imagination Pavilion. The character meets have also changed over in Galaxy’s Edge, and today we noticed some new differences…namely an outfit change with one of our heroes!
There has been a TON of news about lightsabers in Disney World recently!
Ahsoka Tano White Lightsaber Hilts
Two new Legacy Lightsabers arrived in Galaxy’s Edge not too long ago (Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano), then we spotted a sale on lightsaber blades at Dok Ondar’s, and just yesterday, the voice of Ahsoka Tano, Ashley Eckstein, stopped by Disney Springs to autograph several lightsabers that sold out incredibly quickly! Disney’s been releasing new lightsaber designs left and right, and now we have THREE more lightsaber hilts that just dropped online!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has some truly AWESOME merchandise!
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
Jedi robes, droids, plushes of weird galactic animals, if it’s Star Wars related, they’ve probably got it! We’ve especially been loving the lightsabers and lightsaber accessories! You can build your own saber at Savi’s Workshop, or you can buy one that’s already made. And if you’ve got a lightsaber (or an interest in buying one), there’s a great sale on blades in Galaxy’s Edge TODAY!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is FULL of great merchandise for Star Wars fans!
Porg Shoulder Plush
You’ve got plushes, lightsabers, droids, Jedi robes, even olive oil! And yesterday, a brand NEW droid joined the lineup of options in Galaxy’s Edge, and it’s one you may recognize!
There has been some great news for Star Wars fans today.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World
We got a super exciting look at the rooms inside the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, and now we learned that THREE brand new toys will be making their way to Batuu soon!
For months, getting a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance meant waking up ridiculously early to be in Disney’s Hollywood Studios as soon as the morning boarding groups were released.
Rise of the Resistance
But, recently Disney announced that a new boarding group sign-up process would be put in place for the release of morning boarding groups. We shared a list of top tips and things you NEEDED to know about this new process, and today it finally went live! Check out our experience with this new system.
