food IS a theme park
is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge’s quick service restaurant. Like the rest of this new land — officially open TODAY at Disneyland Park!! — Docking Bay is highly themed. The restaurant is recognizable for the multi-transport shuttle on its roof, so if you’re looking for some galactic eats, head toward the shuttle!

We’re back at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World to bring you a few What’s New updates from the Park! Come along as we share new construction walls (yes, new…), some new-to-us merchandise, and a couple of menu changes!
Hooray for Hollywood!
On Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Brown Derby has removed Braised Beef Short Rib from its menu. [Read more…]
We know that many of you planned your Disney World vacation BEFORE the Galaxy’s Edge dates were released, so we want to do our best to help you navigate and alleviate the stress of some of those crowds! If you’re a morning person then you’re in for a treat with new EXTRA Extra Magic Hours! Not sure what that means? No problemo — we’re gonna tell you all about it!
Regular Extra Magic Hours allow Disney World hotel guests to access the parks with low crowds first thing in the morning to enjoy the cooler temps, shorter lines, cool photos with fewer guests, etc. Now…you HAVE to be staying at a Disney resort in order to have access to these Extra Magic Hours. This is one of the many perks that Disney puts in place to get you to stay at one of their hotels over off-property hotels.

So, what are Extra Extra Magic Hours and why were they created? Well, Disney often has Extra Magic Hours, but these are typically just an hour or two in the morning or evening at the parks. Extra Extra Magic Hours are additional park hours that have been added for resort guests DAILY.
Our guess is that Disney has done this to try to alleviate some of the Galaxy’s Edge crowds since an insane amount of guests will be heading to the parks for the opening of the new land this fall. Galaxy’s Edge is set to open on August 29th, which is why the Extra Extra Magic Hours will be offered every day starting September 1. They will continue until November 2, 2019, at the following theme parks and times.
Happy weekend! Here’s all the Disney food news from this week in a nice little package for ya!

We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
Some of our favorite Disney friends are making their way to the big screen again this summer with the release of Toy Story 4.

And to get us even more excited to see the gang back in action, Disney has been releasing tons of new merchandise like t-shirts, cups, and plush. (You can see even more here!) To keep the momentum going, Disney has announced that previews of scenes from the film will soon be shown at Disney World, Disneyland, and on Disney Cruise Line.
If you’re heading to Disney World with your fabulous Disney squad, you’re going to want to share some good eats — and we’re talking ultimate foods! And you KNOW that we at DFB know all about THAT!
Beaches & Cream‘s Kitchen Sink is the ULTIMATE ultimate food to share with your Disney squad. This massive sink-bowl is packed with scoops of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chip ice cream and then topped with every ice cream topping in the restaurant (and a full can of whipped cream!). Yeah, it’s amazing.
Classic Kitchen Sink and Chocolate Lovers Kitchen Sink
The menu says the Kitchen Sink serves four — but if you’re with your squad of more than four, we’re pretty sure you’ll all feel satisfied after this one. [Read more…]
Wow, Toy Story merchandise has been popping up on the shelves around Disney World like crazy!
Toy Story Merchandise
We already showed you a TON of new merchandise that has shown up in preparation for the release of Toy Story 4 on June 21st – you can check it all out here! And today, we’re bringing you EVEN MORE.
We were able to literally set foot into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge last week to catch a glimpse of the incredible land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While photos were not permitted, you can read about what we saw here!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
But today, YOU can take your own first look, because D23 has released photos which will allow everyone to peek inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. And it looks seriously INCREDIBLE. So, let’s explore this insanely detailed land together!
Naturally, those famous Disney details will extend to all five dining options in Galaxy’s Edge, including the land’s fast-casual restaurant, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo where below you’ll see examples of details that tie in important Star Wars history and information.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo will be packed with crates carrying the finest food ingredients from all over the galaxy to the kitchen of Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs. The 80 seen in these two photos (above and below) is a reference to the year that The Empire Strikes Back debuted in theatres. Pretty cool, right? Also, be on the lookout for 77 and 83, the years that the other two films from the original trilogy were released!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
