food IS a theme park
Disneyland’s annual Season of the Force event is almost upon us, and this year the resort is planning to celebrate the Star Wars saga in some exciting new — and interesting — ways.
Smuggler’s Run
The 2025 Season of the Force event is scheduled to run from March 28th through May 11th at Disneyland, and will feature a new nighttime experience in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, a first-time visitor to Batuu, plus a look at new food and beverage, merchandise, and more.
When Disney first introduced Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to Disneyland and Disney World, the land of Batuu was specifically designed to take place in the Star Wars universe in a timeline that happens just after Episode 8, The Last Jedi.

However, that timeline has become a little muddled now that certain characters have been seen walking through the land, including the Mandalorian with Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, and other characters that come from earlier Star Wars timelines. Well, Disney just teased that a character previously BANNED from the land will be appearing soon, and this character, Luke Skywalker, was confirmed by The Orange County Register. So, what is going on here?
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, or even Disneyland, you might be in the market for a new MagicBand+.
MagicBands
Sure, you don’t NEED a MagicBand for your trip, but it does make things a lot more convenient, especially for scanning into the park, scanning into Lightning Lanes, and paying for merchandise in the parks. If you love Star Wars and have been looking for a new MagicBand for your next trip…well…the perfect MagicBand+ design has now arrived on The Disney Store.
When you think of a Disney Cruise, you probably think about a sunny destination, tons of food, and relaxing.
Hyperspace Lounge on the Disney Wish
What if your fellow cruisers were not just humans but also droids? The Disney Wish is home to a few Star Wars-themed areas, including the Hyperspace Lounge and an area dedicated to all things out of this galaxy in the Oceaneer Club. While these spaces are made for humans to enjoy, who says that droids also don’t deserve a vacation sailing the high seas?
Okay, so we’ve had some pretty nice surprises when it comes to Star Wars casting recently.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
First, it was a stroke of genius when Disney cast The Good Place’s Manny Jacinto as a Sith in The Acolyte (and I will forever mourn the loss of that show and what could’ve been). Then we got Jude Law in Skeleton Crew, and as a longtime Jude Law fan, this made me really happy. Well, another of my favorite actors could soon be in Star Wars, and y’all, this one BLEW MY MIND. It’s Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling might be in a Star Wars movie!
We love finding Disney items on Amazon for a great price.

This got even better when we found an Amazon outlet with Disney items marked way down.
There’s one important accessory you need when visiting Disney World…
Loungefly bags are great park bags!
…the perfect park bag! Sometimes, people pack different bags for each day of their trip, while others stick with one trusty option for the whole vacation. But whether you’re a purse or a backpack person, Loungefly has you covered with Disney fan-inspired styles! And right now, we’re sharing 13 Amazon-exclusive Disney Loungefly bags.
I have a confession to make: I hate camping. I do not go out into the great outdoors unless it involves visiting Disney World or Disneyland. Animal Kingdom is my idea of roughing it, y’all. That’s why you’ll never find me pitching a tent at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. NOT. FOR. ME.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
BUT…I just learned about a glamping opportunity (that’s glamorous camping, where you have a more luxury kind of camping experience that doesn’t usually involve waking up with insects or animals inside your tent with you). It’s Star Wars-themed, and y’all…I kinda want to go. No. I REALLY want to go.
Happy New Year! It is officially 2025, and we have a lot to look forward to from Disney, including many new movies like Captain America: Brave New World, Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia 2, and Freakier Friday. Plus, there is also lots of new content coming to Disney+ including shows like season 2 of Andor!

While we will have to wait a bit to watch the new movies and for season 2 of Andor, Disney just released a full list of the new shows coming to Disney+ this month!
I love it when my two favorite things come together. First, I’m a Disney Parks fan and try to visit every chance I can (and when my budget allows). But I also LOVE Star Wars, which means when I’m headed to Disney World or Disneyland, I’m going to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge FIRST.

That also means multiple rides on Star Tours, at least until I finally get chosen as the Rebel Spy (y’all, I literally dressed up as Jyn Erso and STILL didn’t get to be the Rebel Spy, so I have NO idea how that works, but tell Disney I really really want that honor, please?). Okay, I digress…I also love the new Star Wars shows that we’ve been getting on Disney+, including the latest series Skeleton Crew. But the best part of Skeleton Crew is that it has obviously been created by people who love Disney, specifically Disney Parks. That means you’ll find TONS of Disney Parks Easter Eggs in each episode — and I AM HERE FOR IT.
