Happy Star Wars Day everyone! Today I had to talk about Star Wars Galaxy's Edge! This is opening this month in Disneyland and in August for Walt Disney World.
There are a lot of technical aspects about getting into the land that I don't know a lot about. I know Disneyland has a reservation system that I'm not exactly sure about. I don't think Walt Disney World has that same reservation system as of yet... I'm sure if you are going to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge... you can probably tell more about it than I can. I also know that there's no Fastpass for the ride that is opening yet. Not sure if and when they will do that... but right now there's no fastpasses for Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
This land is probably going to be the most themed land yet. You're really going to feel like you are going to be a part of the Star Wars Story. In the Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run ride you actually board the Millennium Falcon and you will be able to fly it and have a mission that you could pass or fail. And the end of the ride will show the falcon in good shape if you pass, or in rough shape if you failed. And with your magic band- the cast members at the park will interact with you based off of that. It sounds really fun and kind of cool too.
Plus the ride has a really advanced Animatronic named Hondo Ohnaka- a Space Pirate that I think gives you your mission... he really looks like a Cast Member in a costume... but he's an animatronic... which is pretty awesome.
There's also a Play Disney Parks App that will give you missions to follow and play inside of the land. This sounds like a fun idea for kids... maybe for when you're waiting in line. Personally... I'm not sure how much I would want to be on my phone at a theme park... but that's just me. Maybe this will make the wait go so much faster for you guys!
They have Coke and Water Bottles themed to the land. They have the star wars writing on the bottles and the Coke Bottles are shaped kind of like BB8. This is a little detail they didn't really need to do... but I think it is super, super fun that they did that. It would be kind of fun to see them do this in other lands too. I'm not sure how- but it'd be fun if they had Toy Story or Pixar themed coke bottles anywhere.
They have a few dining options too. They're all quick service- but they have a lot of detail to them. Oga's Cantina will make you feel like you're in the Cantina from the movie... and that sounds like a lot of fun. They have another location too that I believe is like a kiosk... but it has more detail to it than most. And they'll have a popcorn location... which sounds great too! I think it has some spicy, sweet popcorn options... which is my favorite type of flavor combo.
The Rise of The Resistance Ride sounds amazing... but it will not open with the land itself. I believe it is Disney's Longest Attraction and it has a trackless ride system that pulls you through a lot of stuff... it sounds like it will be incredibly detailed and advanced and really fun. This one sounds incredible and I'm looking forward to knowing what it's like!
The land itself sounds incredible- even if you can't get on the ride... it seems like there's a lot to explore, a lot to eat and a lot to do.
May The Force Be With You!

Disney Favorites This Week (4.25.18)
First off I won't do a total review on this because I just mentioned it yesterday- but my Pirate Life fragrance Oil from Magic Candle Company. This is just a nice, summery scent that brings me right back to my childhood. It is just a great scent! Check out my review here.
I have a lot of youtube favorites this week too. First off The Tim Tracker! Tim and Jen are daily vloggers that usually post about Disney World and other theme parks and Water Parks in Orlando. This week has been kind of exciting because Disney invited them on a Mega Trip basically where they started out at an Adventures by Disney in California and Disneyland, a 2 day Disney Cruise to Mexico, and then they're going to stay at Aulani. Right now they have their Adventures by Disney and Disney Cruise videos up and I'm sure their Aulani videos will be up soon. Here is the first video in the series- it seems like they're having a great time so far and the videos are really fun!
Another fun vlog I watched was from Corey Fiasco. He and his wife Hayley just did a fun vlog of their typical weekend living right near Disney. They ate dinner at The Contemporary, the next day they went to Disney Springs and Epcot. This wasn't their most recent vlog, but for some reason it popped up in my homepage- so I'll post a link right here. It's just a fun vlog and it makes me want to find more fun things to do around where I live.
Disney Food Blog has done 2 really helpful videos this week too... they always have super helpful videos- but 2 of their latest have been incredibly helpful. They've basically assembled like The Avengers to bring all of their knowledge together and show what their team has learned from eating at every single restaurant, and from being in the parks almost every day. Someone from their team is at the parks all times of the year- and I guess almost every day... which is super helpful and awesome. Here is the video about going to disney almost every day and here is their video on eating at every restaurant.
One last video that isn't all Disney related- but it still did mention Disney and it can probably be helpful... so I'm going to post it on here anyway. It's from Dreams Unlimited travel and it's all about traveling as a same sex couple. I'm not in a same sex relationship- but I still watched the video and I thought they did a good job and I feel like it could maybe help some people. They also share some stories that are kind of funny about people being overly friendly or people reacting differently. It's a good video- you can watch it right here.
And I should probably mention some of these videos are kind of long. The DFB Food video and the Dreams Unlimited Travel video are around 30 minutes I think... the vlogs are a little shorter for the most part. I just thought I'd mention that too...
I'm also super, super excited for Avengers Endgame! I just watched Infinity War again to prepare for Endgame- which I'm seeing on Monday. I probably won't post anything the rest of the weekend just because I'm staying off the internet to avoid spoilers... but I'm really excited. I loved Infinity War, I loved Captain Marvel... I'm just so excited to see what's going to happen.
I also love the Mickey Bars that you can get in the grocery store right now. I think these are still available... but they're really good ice cream bars that just remind me of those classic Mickey Premium Bars at the parks... which is one of my favorite snacks to eat at the parks... it's just really great.
The new Star Wars Trailer too! I'm so excited guys! This looks so good- I love Star Wars and I'm wondering how they're going to follow up The Last Jedi. Plus LANDO CALRISSIAN! It's just going to be a fun one!
Alright guys- I think that is everything! Sorry this is so video heavy... that's just kind of what my favorites were this week! I'll see you guys next week! I think I'll do a "Marvel Monday" post on Infinity War and then I'll do a post about Endgame after I see that.
Hope you guys like this post! Let me know what your favorites for the week were- Disney favorites or general favorites... I love it all!
TTFN!
