food IS a theme park
Getting ready for a Disney World vacation can mean a LOT of planning: where to stay, how long to go, and WHERE TO EAT!
Disney World
Booking your Advance Dining Reservations is SUPER important. There are a LOT of Disney World restaurants that have hard-to-get reservations. To make sure you’re prepared to tackle your upcoming Disney World vacation like a pro, we’re sharing the dining locations that will be the HARDEST to grab a reservation for in 2022!
Disney’s theme parks and Disney as a company celebrate quite a few holidays.
Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
At Disneyland alone, we’ve seen some awesome Halloween decorations, beautiful holiday decor, and even a shop that will celebrate various holidays throughout the year. But, now Disneyland is celebrating something extra special…Life Day!
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…]
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
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!
In a galaxy not far, far away, people will soon be able to “board” the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (aka the Star Wars hotel) for a 2-night immersive Star Wars experience in Disney World.

Disney is still releasing information about what’s included in this 2-night itinerary, which carries a hefty price tag, and you’ll probably want to know about one Galaxy’s Edge spot that is NOT included in the price of a Star Wars hotel reservation. So if you’re budgeting for a visit to a galaxy far, far away — read on.
Can we let you in on a little secret? Sometimes we dream about driving away and just ~escaping~ for a bit. Do you relate?
Welcome to Disney World!
Maybe you’re thinking about escaping over to — oh, I dunno — Disney World, perhaps? No judging here. We love that place (did our name give it away? 😂). Gives us something to write about on a daily basis. But before you make the trek out to the Most Magical Place on Earth, let’s play a rousing game of Red Light, Green Light.
A (not so) long, long time ago in a galaxy (not so) far away, a quaint little watering hole named Oga’s Cantina opened up in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.
Oga’s Cantina
We’ve tried every drink this spot has to offer! But there’s ONE DRINK guests — including us — keep coming back to time and time again. The Fuzzy Tauntaun. It’s easily the most unique drink on the menu for good reason: IT MAKES YOUR MOUTH NUMB! 🤯 So what are you to do if the craving for one strikes “off-world” (AKA, your home)? Make it yourself! Not only that, but we have a BONUS recipe too. Put on your lab coats and bust out the pocket protectors — it’s about to get sciencey up in here.
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!
