food IS a theme park
It’s Rising Moons over Batuu as we are all eagerly awaiting the upcoming arrival of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge BIG e-ticket attraction, Star Wars: Rise of The Resistance.
Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge at Night
Expected to open on December 5th at Walt Disney World (and Disneyland on January 17th) we felt some serious hype at D23 this year when we were treated to the first real look at the attraction. And later when we got to actually GO INSIDE and experience it for ourselves!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about the AH-MAZING ride technology Disney has to offer!

There are some incredible rides currently in progress throughout the parks (and we are sooo excited)! We’re here to spill all the deets on what you can expect with the new attractions coming to Disney World.
Whenever a new land opens at Walt Disney World, the hype is always extremely real. But we all know that like anything else, that excitement can flicker out pretty quickly (AKA any YA novel fandom).
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disney World
The question is: how do you test if a land is a hit in Disney after it opens? It’s not only its initial popularity that keeps it high on the list but the continual visits from guests, how long the wait times are, and even what’s inside the land itself (still not over the Viewmaster slides in Toy Story Land tbh). And the differences between Pandora’s opening in 2017 and Galaxy’s Edge’s opening this year seem to show — at least anecdotally — that the two don’t stack up very similarly in terms of overall popularity.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has FINALLY opened in Hollywood Studios. But after years of anticipation, what can guests look forward to now?

Luckily, there are a lot of exciting events, festivals, and changes taking place throughout the parks. So, we’re taking a look at ALL of the opportunites to look forward to for the rest of 2019!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge finally opened the gates to Batuu in Disney World this past month!
Star Wars Rise of the Resistance
And, while Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run has allowed guests to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, we can’t help but wonder… What is the newest attraction coming to Galaxy’s Edge, the Rise of the Resistance, going to be like? Will the Force be with it, or will it give in to the dark side of Disney misses?
Happy weekend! We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember… .

Since the announcement of a one-of-a-kind Rise of the Resistance attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we’ve been on the lookout for more glimpses into the ride. During yesterday’s D23 Expo presentation, we spotted some new peeks into Rise of the Resistance in a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge promo video — and we grabbed some screenshots to share with you!
