There was a lot I wanted to see and do on our recent visit to Walt Disney World and much of it had to do with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Super cool rides, character interactions, amazing details (Disney Imagineers, you all are totally incredible!), fun shops, and interesting (and delicious) food and drinks – all of this can be found at the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu (which is the actual name of the Galaxy’s Edge area). But along with all of this, there are two truly interactive experiences there that, while not free, are really cool experiences. In one of them, Guests can create their own lightsaber. While that sounded interesting, it was the other one that really caught my eye, and was the one that I signed up to do. And as it turned out, it was literally one of the most fun things I’ve done at Walt Disney World in all the years I’ve gone. And that’s saying a lot. Read more
An important part of my recent visit to Walt Disney World was to check out everything associated with the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While there was a great deal to experience in this new “land”, important highlights for us were the two rides – Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and Rise of the Resistance. We greatly enjoyed both of them, but it is Rise of the Resistance that is the latest Disney attraction that is getting all of the buzz, and is causing the most discussion online, as this incredible ride has a unique process for riding it. And that’s what I am going to discuss today. Read more
Located in Liberty Square, the stately Haunted Mansion is definitely more than meets the eye! As you approach the house you will find several intriguing hints of things to come inside. There is a musical crypt, a leaky tomb and even a ghostly writer! There is also a cemetery as you walk along the stone path – and be sure to check out the tombstone writings and I bet there will be more than one giggle! As in true Disney fashion the queue is sure to keep everyone entertained. Read more
Splash Mountain is one of the “mountains” of Magic Kingdom. This fun attraction takes you on a ride through a southern bayou where you may see your favorites such as Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox. It will also send you plummeting down 5 stories into the briar patch, but don’t worry, you won’t get too wet – unless you are sitting in the front row, then you can get really wet! Read more
