I can’t quite recall exactly which Disney Vacation it was but I remember it definitely being within the last few years. I travel to Disn ..read more

I say the argument is fundamentally flawed. The topic is just too broad in nature to even have a rational discussion. I mean what are we really talking about here; is it the cost of Disney theme park admission, is it the cost of concessions in the parks ..read more

News reporters, YouTubers, Bloggers, Instagram influencers, you name it; they all came out of the woodworks to comment on the disastrous launch of both world’s at each respective Disney theme park. But what really happened? Is Galaxy’s Edge REALLY empty? If so, is the fictional planet of Batuu, which Galaxy’s Edge is based on really a desolate planet at both Disneyland and Disn ..read more

The Millennium Falcon ride at Disney World is truly a sight to behold. I can’t remember the last time I was visually stunned by a structure, but in October of 2019, I was taken aback upon first sight of this legendary fictional spacecraft situated inside of Galaxy’s Edge, or as some still refer to it, Star Wars Land at Hollywood Studios. Now, just to clarify, I’m not yet talking about the Smuggler’s Run ride inside the Millennium Falcon, I’m taking about THE Millennium Falcon; the spaceship itself that you gaze upon in this new land at Hollywood Studios. Truth be told I’m not even a huge Star ..read more
