food IS a theme park
Eating at Disney World is a bit more complicated than you think.
Food
While the Disney World Resort offers a litany of food options, from sit-down restaurants to quick-service snacks and everything in between, eating at the resort isn’t always as easy as it seems. While many are aware that pretty much every restaurant on property requires an Advanced Dining Reservation, there are also some other Disney World dining rules that not every guest is aware of.
Disney folks are a passionate bunch — but throw Star Wars people into the mix, too, and you’ve got some of the most die-hard fans out there.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
So, when Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, lots of folks got the best of both worlds. There’s so much to explore, see, do, eat, and drink in Galaxy’s Edge — and now there’s one more reason for Star Wars fans to stop by!
Sometimes narrowing down juuussssst the right snack to try in Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be tough!

Galaxy’s Edge is full of some really cool snacks, like the Ronto Wraps from Ronto Roasters and the interesting popcorn flavors from Kat Saka’s Kettle. We even got to try a few exclusive options for May the 4th this year that seemed to disappear as quickly as they showed up. But what do you need to try out if you’re looking for something sweet, Star Wars-themed, and consistently around?
Oga’s Cantina in Galaxy’s Edge has become a fan favorite among Disney Parks fans and Star Wars fans alike! (And of course, those who fit in the middle of the Venn diagram of Star Wars fans and Disney Parks fans, we see you!)

And while going to Oga’s is fun, leaving Oga’s is NOT, but now there’s a NEW way to bring some of Oga’s galactic good vibes into your own home! [Read more…]
Have you been to a galaxy far, far away lately?

We’re, of course, talking about the planet Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World! We decided to swing by the most hoppin’ place in the system at Oga’s Cantina and we noticed some changes!
Bright suns, travelers! We’re headed to a galaxy far, far away (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, to be exact) to check out one of the hottest spots in Disneyland! Once the parks opened after being closed for over 400 days, we just HAD to get to Oga’s Cantina for a cocktail (or two!).
Oga’s Cantina
Oga’s Cantina is located in Black Spire Outpost, the village on the planet Batuu where Star Wars: Galaxy’ Edge is set. In reality…it’s kinda tucked behind Frontierland in Disneyland proper. 😉 It’s famous for out-of-this-world concoctions and being one of the HARDEST reservations to snag in Disneyland (and Disney World too!). We snagged a reservation right after it reopened. Let’s see if this “wretched hive of scum and villainy” (sorry, wrong Star Wars Cantina!) still holds up!
Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is one of our favorite places to grab a drink in both Disney World and Disneyland!
Oga’s Cantina
They have fun-themed drinks like the Dagobah Slug Slinger and Yub Nub, and even a drink that will make your mouth go numb! Oga’s also has a few snacks on the menu that are…let’s just say, unusual for our planet! The Rodian Ration is an alcoholic sort of jello with boba balls inside (which makes them look like fish eggs, in our opinion). And then there’s the notorious Happabore Sampler. Think of it as a charcuterie and cheese board, but WEIRD!
As we continue to celebrate the past 90 years with Mickey Mouse, we also look forward to all the upcoming adventures the Disney Parks have to offer! And today while we’re LIVE at the D23 Destination D: Celebrating Mickey Mouse event with Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman Bob Chapek, we have news about more Disney magic on the way to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort!
Destination D 2018
Let’s start with something HUGE coming to BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and let’s waste no time!!
