food IS a theme park
It’s FINALLY time to travel to a galaxy far, far away…in Disney World!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge
While many of us will have to wait until August 29th to see Galaxy’s Edge in person, the newest Hollywood Studios land will be opening the doors to Batuu for Annual Passholders a little bit earlier.
Hey, Disney pals! We’re back with another What’s New in Hollywood Studios.
Tower of Terror
And this time, we’re exploring updates to the security bag check area, new Harvey’s Star Wars bags, a new Porg Shoulder Plush, and MORE. Are you ready to get the show started? Then…ACTION!
Tiny bodies, big eyes, small frowny mouths — how can you not love Porgs?!
Tatooine Traders Sign
The bird-like creatures were the most adorable addition to the Star Wars universe in The Last Jedi. We’d want a whole flock of them in the Millennium Falcon during our time as its Pilot (you can see their nests in the queue for Smugglers Run!!). Now, you can snuggle up against a Porg all day long with this new plush in Hollywood Studios!
It’s time for another What’s New in Disney Springs, everybody, and we have so much to tell you about! New menus, Minnie Ears Ornaments, and The Lion King lattes are just the beginning of our list. Let’s dive right in to see what Disney Springs has to offer!
Disney Springs
The Lion King
had its opening premier in theaters this weekend, and there’s no better way of celebrating than with a few themed treats!
At Wolfgang Puck‘s quick-service window, we spotted the adorable sugar Lion Paw Cookie for $5 and the Grub Jar for $7.50. Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba would definitely approve (except they’d want more bugs in their Grub Jars)!
Wolfgang Puck Lion King Treats
Speaking of the King of the Jungle, the Lion’s Latte is now steaming over at Joffrey’s Coffee in Disney Springs. We previously saw the hot or iced coffee blended with espresso, white chocolate, and coconut in Animal Kingdom, but it’s now journeyed into other Disney horizons. [Read more…]

In case you didn’t know, there are a number of runDisney events held throughout the year, such as the Disney Princess Half Marathon and the Wine & Dine Half Marathon! Each one has a different theme and allows for different race opportunities. And now, Star Wars fans, the time has come to register for the runDisney 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend in Disney World!
BB-8, Mickey Mouse, and Woody? SIGN me up!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a major makeover with all the additions arriving into the park over the next few years. What better way is there to showcase those changes than with a brand new sign?!
Calling all Resistance Pilots and First Order Captains: we spotted some out-of-this-galaxy phone cases in Disneyland that you NEED!
The Star Trader
The Star Trader in Disneyland Park is always chock-full of Star Wars goodies, and this is no exception! Let’s start with these awesome Black Spire Outpost specific cases:
We have some new out-of-this-galaxy treats to tell you about in Disneyland Resort! White Water Snacks at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel has introduced Star Wars Donuts AND a Darth Vader Cupcake!
Star Wars Donut
The Star Wars donuts are vanilla cake donuts with “berry swirl” frosting, some completely awesome iridescent chocolate rocks, and white chocolate pieces shaped like R2-D2 or an X-wing Starfighter.
opens in under a week (that’s wild to say!!), and one new technology in the land will fit right in the palm of your hand: your cell phone! That’s because your smartphone will transform into a datapad when you enter Black Spire Outpost. It’s all part of the Play Disney Parks app, and the latest update of the app — live NOW — allows users to interact with the Star Wars Datapad features for Galaxy’s Edge!
Play Disney Parks App
Upon opening the app, you’ll navigate to the Disneyland map where you’ll notice a few new images on the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge portion of the map. (You can take a closer look around Galaxy’s Edge on the app by clicking here.) [Read more…]
Disneyland Park’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens in a matter of days
, and last evening, Disneyland President Josh D’Amaro shared a picture on his Instagram that is blowing. our. minds. It’s a sea of “inhabitants of Batuu” gathered for a cast member rally in Galaxy’s Edge, and it’s EPIC!
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Inhabitants of Batuu
In the image we see hundreds of cast members in costumes designed to help them set the stage as Citizens of Batuu. (Click here to see Galaxy’s Edge costumes up close!) In the background: the impressive Millennium Falcon showcased in the land’s first major attraction Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Further back, we spy a delivery shuttle on the top of the land’s fast casual dining spot Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. The skyline of Black Spire Outpost features jagged rock outcroppings, while buildings show the wear-and-tear of galactic life.
Yeah, we want to go to there. 😉
