Galaxy’s Edge is truly a sight to behold! Disney has definitely pulled out all the stops to make you feel like you have left Earth and entered a planet worthy of being in a galaxy far far away. Smugglers Run and the soon-to-open Rise of the Resistance are wonderful...
Restaurants You Need to Try: Whispering Canyon Cafe
Walking into the Wilderness Lodge, the sheer grandeur of the concourse unfolds in front of you. If this is your first time walking into my favorite resort, you have earned my envy. I still love the sight every time I walk in. Massive wooden columns hold aloft the...
