food IS a theme park
We have a long wish list of Disney-inspired homes we would love to live in.
We want to live in a castle!
We loved the Haunted Mansion airbnb, as well as the California home designed by a Disney Imagineer and an actual castle of a home near Disney World. But we might have just found the most EPIC home of all — especially if you happen to be a Star Wars fan.
It’s time for another round of what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

During our more recent trips into the park, we spotted some new merchandise and spent a lot of time experimenting with the new Disney Genie service! Let’s take a virtual trip through the park to see the latest updates.
Ready to help the Resistance, escape from Kylo Ren, and go on a grand Star Wars-themed adventure? Then you might be looking to hop on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
The ride debuted some time ago, but continues to be INCREDIBLY popular. Right now, there are 2 main ways to get on this ride — through the standby lane and by purchasing an Individual Attraction Selection (pay-per-ride). But, if you REALLY want to get on this ride, you might want to take a special extra step.
Disney World’s upcoming Star Wars-themed hotel is going to be an immersive experience in a galaxy far, far away.

This hotel — called the Galactic Starcruiser — is basically a Star Wars lover’s dream come true. Guests can not only stay in the Star Wars-themed rooms, they can also dress up like their favorite characters, take part in an immersive storyline, dine on some strange-looking space food, and enjoy activities like lightsaber training or learning to steer the ship. Bookings aren’t open for most guests until October 28th, but starting today, some people can make reservations immediately.
The holiday season is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to start shopping!
Simply haaaving a wonderful Christmas timeeee
Disney already has some of its holiday merchandise out in the parks and online. And, Amazon just released its 2021 “Toys We Love” list, which predicts what the most popular toys are going to be this holiday season. There are about 40 Disney items on the list, so we picked out some of our favorites to help you get your shopping started!
The Star Wars hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) is opening on March 1st, 2022, and we’re pretty excited!

We’ve learned so much about the hotel, like what activities could be included, what food will be like, the room designs, and the pricing. Select groups, like Disney Vacation Club members, Annual Passholders, and Club 33 members, have already been able to book their reservations on the ship thanks to early booking windows. And now, another early booking window has opened for a certain group!
We have many happy childhood memories reading Little Golden Books. And we love that so many Disney titles are available!
We love Disney books!
And some of the recent titles are sure to be big hits with kids, including one all about the 999 Happy Haunts of The Haunted Mansion, a book about The Mandalorian, a book about The Jungle Cruise, and even a Little Golden book adaptation of The Nightmare Before Christmas. But there are even MORE Little Golden Books coming soon, and you can pre-order them now on Amazon.
Another week has gone by and we’ve got LOTS of Disney news to share with you.

The experience is going to be like no other. Your 2-day, 2-night stay on the Starcruiser will be completely immersive, with you getting to interact with characters, train with a lightsaber, and play games like sabacc. Not to mention, you’ll go on an excursion to Galaxy’s Edge! Spots on the ship are expected to be in high demand, but some groups get to book their stay EARLY starting today!
Happy October! After MONTHS of preparing and waiting for the 50th Anniversary Celebration this month, it’s finally here! So much has changed in Disney World since the beginning of the year; it would take a novel to break down all the changes and announcements since January.
