food IS a theme park
Hey, remember a few days ago when Oga’s Cantina mysteriously vanished from the list of reopening restaurants in Disney World?

Maybe it was just a Jedi mind trick, because Oga’s Cantina has just magically reappeared on the list AGAIN!
Ah, the T-shirt wall — one of our favorite spots to pick out new graphic tees at Walt Disney World!
New T-Shirt Designs at World of Disney
We’re always checking this massive display at World of Disney for new designs, and we spotted one today that looked strangely familiar!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th.
Oga’s Cantina
We’re most excited about the return of dining and we’ve got an eye on a few of our favorites. Last week, Disney announced the restaurants that will be reopening with the theme parks on July 11th and 15th. We noticed that most of our favorite Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge dining spots would be opening. Now, though, one has been removed from the list.
Oh, Disney World restaurants — how we miss you!
Garden Grill Restaurant
While you know our affinity for spots like Wine Bar George (thank goodness the flaming cheese is back) and Garden Grill, there are a few restaurants around the parks we are missing more than we thought we would!
We’ve seen some wild things over the years in Disney World (remember when Cinderella Castle was turned into a giant pink birthday cake for the 25th anniversary?).
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Although there have been so many sights that we will never forget in the parks, there’s Disney entertainment that has been lost to time. With all the new lands and the giant EPCOT Transformation, many guests don’t realize that Disney has hosted some delightfully strange shows and attractions over the years.
It’s been quite the day so far with exciting news coming out of Disney World. For those itching to get back to Galaxy’s Edge when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens in Disney World on July 15, they may be happy to know that many of the major attractions and shops will be open.
Lieutenant Beck on Rise of the Resistance
And yep — the reopening list includes the fan favorite Rise of the Resistance! This attraction has been the must-ride choice since it opened in December of 2019.
But we’re also getting word of another MAJOR development that will change the way we’ve come to experience “getting in line” for this ride!
Disney World can get BUSY, you guys (two hours for Peter Pan’s Flight is sometimes a norm in the summer). And while each family has a method to the madness on what they’d like to do their vacation, a lot of people don’t realize exactly how important it is to visit the parks in the morning.
Walt Disney World
Even though being an early riser many not be your forté, we’re telling you that these things in Disney World are worth waking up for!
The last year has brought some significant changes to theme parks.
Hollywood Studios Before Park Opening Waiting to Get Boarding Groups for Rise of the Resistance
We’ve been seeing a TON of changes as Florida theme parks (and beyond) reopen from their historic closures this year, but our focus is on an even more noticeable change. Prior to the closures, we started to see Virtual Queues in theme parks, and now they’re expanding more as a health measure. So, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of Virtual Queues, and how YOU can navigate them like a pro!
We have to hand it to Disney, they definitely know how to get our attention!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
As a company, Disney does a lot of things exceptionally well. And one thing at which they seem to consistently excel is capturing our attention (and imagination)! Here are seven times that Disney’s marketing efforts had us totally captivated!
Can you believe it’s already been a FULL year since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disneyland? The ambitious new land, which takes guests to the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, first opened to guests on May 31, 2019.
