Review: Oga's Cantina at Galaxy's Edge

December 18, 2019 by Allison Tripolitis in Here for the Food

Once upon a time, a 30-year-old woman bought a park ticket so she could spend approximately two hours at Galaxy’s Edge while she waited for the rest of her friends to arrive in Orlando. The woman excitedly made a reservation for one at Oga’s Cantina and looked forward to experiencing the array of drink options available. When the day arrived the woman dashed from her hotel to make her reservation…only to find out that she had forgotten her wallet back at the hotel upon arriving to the park. However that woman’s trip (spoiler alert: that woman was me) did not go to waste and was totally worth the experience.

Cheers, mates! I’ve just returned from a delightful romp through Ireland with a short pit stop in London. While I experienced a myriad of incredible things while abroad (like holding a baby lamb and staying in a castle), I also made time to find pixie dust everywhere I traveled. I also got the chance to experience a lifetime dream celebrating one of my other obsessions—Harry Potter!

Run Like the Wind, Bullseye! How to Survive a runDisney Race (Part 2)

Once you arrive in Orlando, one of the first things you’ll need to do is attend the Race Expo. This is where you’ll get your race materials and where you can shop for cute apparel! There is official RunDisney merchandise but also lots of other vendors. One of the most crucial pieces of merchandise at the RunDisney merchandise area is the “I Did It!” shirt. Now, while you might feel superstitious about buying your “I Did It” shirt before you actually do it, they sell out very quickly and you run the risk of not getting one in the size that you want if you wait until you have actually done it. The earlier in the week that you can make it to the expo the better; it gets very crowded. If you can’t make it until the day before the race try to get there right when it opens; you don’t want to waste your time at Disney waiting in line!
