food IS a theme park
The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser may be gone, but it’s not forgotten.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
To say that the Star Wars hotel-that-wasn’t-really-a-hotel was controversial might be an understatement, and there were some things about the whole interactive LARP-like experience that still leave Disney fans scratching their heads. However, a lot of things about the Galactic Starcruiser just outright shocked fans, so let’s take a look at those things that had us all like 😲.
Springtime in Disney World means new treats, fun activities, and warmer weather. But you can celebrate the season Disney-style even if you won’t be in the parks this year!
Gorgeous flowers!
We’ve already spotted some spring-themed merchandise online at shopDisney, but you can also get Disney merch for the season at other stores as well! Come with us to check out one item at Target, which is only available online.
Your reservation has been made. Your hotel is booked. But one more thing — arguably the most important detail — remains…what are you going to wear?
She’s a beauty
Okay, maybe it’s not the most important detail. But it matters to us! Loving what you’re wearing in the parks is such an underrated feeling, and we found some shirts for your next trip that are sure to boost your serotonin levels!
Struggling with the wait until your next Disney trip? Us too.
Magic Kingdom
Bringing some Disney magic into your home can help make the wait a little easier, which can be done with blankets, art, kitchenware, and even pet toys. But what about the exterior of your home? Well, we just found the cutest Star Wars-themed doormats that will bring a touch of Disney to the outside of your home too!
The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser has a lot of activities you can do while you’re on the ship, like playing sabacc, interacting with characters, or trying the fun drinks in the Sublight Lounge.

But, one of the activities that we’ve been the most hyped up about (as we’re sure other Star Wars fans have been, too) is the lightsaber training! We know we’re not alone in saying that we’ve wanted to wield a lightsaber (and actually FEEL like we’re using it) since seeing the movies years ago. Is there even a cooler weapon in cinema?! Well, we finally got to try out the lightsaber training aboard the Galactic Starcruiser, and we’re here to tell you if it’s worth the hype!
Baby Yoda is everywhere these days! Even in food. As it turns out, a deviled with a bit of food coloring manages to perfectly capture his adorableness.

We can’t get over how cute they are. They aren’t too challenging to make and will impress any Star Wars fan! We’ll walk you through how to create these little guys yourself. Cressie on Instagram created the most adorable recipe that we just had to share with you.
Can’t make it to the parks this week? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Wouldn’t it be lovely to have THIS view every day?!
Tons of the same items that you find in Walt Disney World appear on shopDisney, and we’re constantly scoping out the site to see what’s new. Whether you’re looking for a cute new backpack, a collector’s item, or a new Disney tee, there’s something for you to buy this week! (But do it fast, because some of this stuff is only around for a limited time or selling out quickly!)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
