We LOVE It When Disney Listens! Imagineers FINALLY Fixed This Glaring Ride Problem

By Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that sometimes Disney rides just don’t operate the way they’re supposed to. In many cases, that means the rides are still functional, but some effects may not be working or the ride is operating in “B Mode.”

Rise of the Resistance

One of the most NOTORIOUS rides to have a lot of technical problems is Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Even when it’s not temporarily closed due to some issue or another, things on the ride are often not working properly. In Disneyland, it’s been a hot minute since the cannons in the latter portion of the ride were moving (they’ve been stationary for a while), but we’ve got great news: those cannons are working and are *pew-pewing* again!

The Popcorn Bucket We’ve Been MISSING Is Now Available in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Okay, where are our Disney World popcorn bucket collectors?

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

We know, we know, collecting popcorn buckets is a THING, and well, we get it — Disney releases some pretty cool ones. That Elf Mickey Popcorn Bucket from Christmas? That thing was FIRE. The new Figment Popcorn Bucket coming to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts? WE NEED IT. Well, there’s one popular Disney World popcorn bucket that is actually BACK in Disney World — so if you didn’t get it the first time around, here’s your chance.

Disney Figured Out My Secret Fireworks Viewing Spot, and Now They’re Selling Dining Packages There, Too

By 2 Comments

Okay, so the last time I was in Disneyland, as a Star Wars nerd, I ended up spending a LOT of time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

So while my friends rode Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run (and sorta got stuck on it), I was enjoying a Cold Brew Black Caf and sitting UNDER the Falcon, just enjoying a quiet evening in Batuu. Then, a Cast Member came up and told me I had to move because the fireworks were starting soon. Okay, so I was confused. But wait…then Cast Members came out and blocked out an area near the Falcon for fireworks viewing. Yes, you could see the Disneyland fireworks from there (but without the music) — and not a lot of people even knew about it. It was AWESOME…but now things have changed.

We Hope You’re Sitting Down Because This Disney Popcorn Bucket Is Pretty Creepy

By 2 Comments

The holiday season is coming to Disneyland, and that includes some new offerings this year.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

However, there’s ANOTHER holiday that Disneyland celebrates that Star Wars fans might know about. It’s Life Day, which is a Wookiee holiday that celebrates family, joy, and harmony. So, basically, it’s sort of like the Wookiee version of Christmas. Now, Life Day gets celebrated in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland every year, and this year, the celebration is bringing a new popcorn bucket and snacks.

NEWS: Disney Just Announced a NEW Fireworks Dining Package

By 1 Comment

We hate to admit it, but it seems like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland just goes a little harder than Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World.

Bard droid in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

Why? First, ALL the characters that come to the Disneyland version of Batuu are mind-boggling. Hera Syndulla? Ahsoka Tano? CHOPPER? It’s WILD. Then there are those little droids that wander around the area when Disney feels like testing them out. Also, Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge goes a little harder with the food, too, and is constantly adding new snacks and meals. Well, now, there’s a new Star Wars dining package — SAY WHAT?!?!?!

Something SPECIAL Happened in Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Last Night!

By Leave a Comment

Disney often works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes for seriously ill children.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Disney has released special Make-A-Wish merchandise in the past, often hosts children and their families in its parks, and often brings awareness to the organization. Over the years, the foundation has helped grant the wishes of over 300,000 children, with many of those wishes involving the Walt Disney Company in some way. Over the past weeks, Disneyland has hosted 19 children and their families for its first multi-day Make-A-Wish event “Blaze Your Path: A Star Wars Adventure.” Last night, on September 11th, Disney hosted a special finale for that event.

Lies About Disney’s Hollywood Studios You Thought Were True

By 2 Comments

Hooray for Hollywood…Studios! Okay, so Hollywood Studios is a super fun park and we’ll admit that we sometimes prefer it over the other parks in Disney World.

Hollywood Studios

There’s just something special that happens when you step into Hollywood Studios and find yourself in old Hollywood with a very questionable hotel in the background (we hear the elevator keeps having problems), seeing a replica of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre right in front of you, complete with hand prints and autographs of some pretty famous people right in front. Then you can step INTO the movies, like Toy Story and Star Wars. However, there are some outright lies we keep hearing people tell about Hollywood Studios, and we’re about to bust those wide open!

The SECRET Reason ‘Star Wars’ Fans Flocked to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

By 1 Comment

Star Wars fans may be some of the most dedicated fans of all time.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Since 1977, fans of the Star Wars franchise have spent millions of dollars on movies, streaming subscriptions to watch new Star Wars TV shows, Star Wars Celebration, and visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in both Disney World and Disneyland. However, we just recently attended a VERY special Star Wars event that you might not even know about, and it’s all about lighting up the night with lightsabers.

GOOD NEWS! It’s About To Get Easier To Walk Around Disneyland

By Leave a Comment

If you’ve been to Disneyland recently, you’ll know that it has a LOT of construction going on right now. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is under construction, although the ride is set to open on November 15th. The area around the ride, though, is currently closed as it gets re-themed and renamed as Bayou Country. Hungry Bear Restaurant, which is also located nearby is getting a reimagining and will soon become Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree.

Disneyland

There’s also some construction happening to the queue for Haunted Mansion in nearby New Orleans Square. This means that some of the pathways in these areas have been closed due to construction. We’ve got some good news, though: one of those pathways will soon reopen.
