Are YOU excited about Disney World’s Star Wars Hotel? ©Disney Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is the upcoming Star Wars Hotel experience coming to Disney World and we can’t WAIT to experience it. It will be pricy, but there’s sure to be a LOT to see. If you know us though, you know we’re concerned with the FOOD. So, let’s check out everything there is to know about dining at the Star Wars Hotel! Before we dive into the specifics, let’s mention how the dining works aboard. Galactic Starcruiser is more like a cruise ship than a traditional hotel. All of your food and drinks (excluding alcohol) will be included and there are set dinner times in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room. Crown of Corellia Dining Room The Crown of Corellia Dining Room is the main dining space aboard the Galactic Starcruiser. It’s a breakfast and lunch spot by day and a supper club by night complete with entertainment. Breakfast and Lunch Breakfast and Lunch will be served in this space featuring a menu of some fare from around the galaxy (and some more familiar offerings from Earth). ©Disney Breakfast will feature options of hot and cold small plates and a variety of beverages including juices, freshly-brewed coffee, and Bubo Wamba Family Farms Blue Milk. ©Disney Lunch will present options of small bites like sandwiches, soups, mini flatbreads, assorted salads, and sweets. Dinner Dinner is the main event in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room. On night one of the two-night stay, the restaurant will transform into “an enticing table-service supper club with a special musical appearance by a galactic superstar.” This night will feature special dining, entertainment, and time to socialize with passengers and the crew. ©Disney Night two will feature The Taste Around the Galaxy that will bring you courses inspired by the geography and environments of iconic destination planets throughout the galaxy. Each course will be served as you hear a brief introduction presenting the name, inspiration, and ingredients for the dishes. The meal includes group appetizers for the table, a choice of entrée, and a specialty plated dessert. ©Disney As mentioned, each night features two dinner seatings and you can indicate your preference for your seating based on when you book your vacation package. Captain’s Table The final option in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room is the Captain’s Table. This experience requires an additional fee and features extra courses of the captain’s favorites and the prime seating of the center of the room. Captain’s Table ©Disney Sublight Lounge The other dining location aboard is the Sublight Lounge. This space is inspired by the ship’s historic voyages through the galaxy. It’s a classic lounge space where you can grab a drink, interact with the ship’s characters, and even play a game of holo-sabacc. Sublight Lounge ©Disney Other Information The other dining you will experience during your stay takes place during your excursion to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Your stay also includes a quick-service meal at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo or any other quick-service dining location in the park.

We know more about the cost of the experience, what each room will look like on board, and what’s included in the experience!

That trip to Batuu (aka Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios) is scheduled to take place on the second day of the journey. ©Disney We also wanted to point out some interesting activities scheduled throughout the stay, like sabacc lessons from 3:30-4:00PM, a Captain’s reception from 4:30-5:00PM, a droid racing competition from 2:30-2:50PM, and a one-hour “spectacular finale” to finish off the trip!

If you weren’t already excited about Disney World’s Star Wars Hotel, you might be today! ©Disney We just got a TON of new information about the upcoming immersive hotel experience — including the pricing. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience when it opens in Spring 2022 but some guests will not get to try the much-anticipated lightsaber training experience! One of the earlier details announced for Galactic Starcruiser was that the hotel will feature an immersive and interactive lightsaber training experience. The concept art for this looks AMAZING and we’ve even dug into how the experience will work. ©Disney Guests of all ages are welcome aboard, but Disney just announced that the Lightsaber Training experience WILL have a minimum age requirement. Guests must be at least 7 years old to participate. ©Disney This could be a pretty major detail for your family! If you’re forking out thousands of dollars for a stay on Galactic Starcruiser, you don’t want to expect your 6-year-old to be able to wield a lightsaber, only to be disappointed. ©Disney If you know that the Lightsaber Training Experience is a must for your kiddo, you might want to wait to plan that Galactic Starcruiser-based vacation until after they are old enough.

We’ve gotten a lot of news recently about the new Star Wars-themed hotel opening next Spring in Disney World! The Halcyon Model Now, there are even more updates as Disney has released details about pricing, rooms, and more experiences onboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! Here’s a closer look at what kinds of hotel rooms will be available! We’ve already seen a peek at what some of the rooms will look like in the new Star Wars hotel! ©Disney (Posted by Jeff Vahle via Instagram @jeffvahle) There’s going to be bunk beds and windows with views of the galaxy far far away! ©Disney (Posted by Jeff Vahle via Instagram @jeffvahle) Now, we know even more about the rooms onboard. There will be three options for hotel rooms on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — the Standard Cabin, the Galaxy Class Suite, and the Grand Captain Suite. Let’s see what each of them will look like! Standard Cabin The Standard Cabin room sleeps four to five adults, with one queen bed, two bunk beds (that fit one adult each) and a pull-down bed that also sleeps one adult. The cabin has a window with a view out to space as well! ©Disney The Standard Cabin has a pull-out table and some chairs (which you can see towards the back of the room in the picture above) and a TV that will be showing normal channels. Disney has said that the TV has “entertainment from your home planet.” ©Disney Other amenities in the Standard Cabin include a mini-refrigerator, a hairdryer, an in-cabin safe, a phone with voicemail messaging, an interactive TV, and the H2O Plus toiletries you can find in most Disney hotels. Galaxy Class Suite The Galaxy Class Suites are one-bedroom suites with an “integrated seating area.” The rooms sleep four people with a queen bed and two pull-down beds that fit one adult each. ©Disney These suites have a double vanity bathroom, a bar area, and two windows with outer-space views! Disney mentioned that this room has “a few extra Star Wars surprises,” which they haven’t revealed yet! ©Disney Galaxy Class Suites have the same amenities as the Standard Cabin, including a mini-refrigerator, a hairdryer, an in-cabin safe, a phone with voicemail messaging, an interactive TV, and H2O Plus toiletries. Grand Captain Suite The Grand Captain’s Suites are two-bedroom rooms with a “posh living space” that also has a seating area! There is a double-vanity bathroom, a second bathroom that has a single vanity, a bar area, and three windows for viewing outer space! Disney also mentioned some extra Star Wars surprises in these suites! ©Disney The Grand Captain Suite sleeps eight people, with two queen beds, two bunk beds (one adult in each), and two pull-down beds (one adult in each). ©Disney You’ll find the same amenities here as well, such as a mini-refrigerator, a hairdryer, an in-cabin safe, a phone with voicemail messaging, an interactive TV, and H2O Plus toiletries.

Buying a Disney MagicBand is one of the fun planning things the whole family can do. Taking a closer look! A long time ago, in a resort far, far away, Walt Disney World resort guests and annual passholders would get MagicBands for free. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t that long ago, but the fact of the matter is that now, we all have to pay for our MagicBands. Many are a pretty basic $20. But why are some Disney MagicBands SO expensive? Let’s see if we can figure this out. As we cover ways your MagicBand could end up costing you lots of $$$, we’re going to highlight the different types of MagicBands and places you can find them so you know what to expect ahead of time. No sticker shock here! Not Ordering Ahead of Time The option to pick your MagicBands before you leave for your trip is still a thing, even now that you are paying for the MagicBands. This is totally optional but before you leave is the best time to order. If you buy your band more than 10 days before your arrival, you are eligible for pre-arrival pricing. That could save you up to $15! Definitely order in advance when possible if you’re interested. There are a TON of colors and styles to choose from! To take advantage of the pre-arrival pricing, you’ll need to make sure to select and order your MagicBands through the My Disney Experience App in advance. According to the Disney World website you should plan to order your MagicBands at least 11 days before your arrival if you would like your MagicBands shipped to your home and at least 6 days before your arrival to have them shipped to your Resort hotel. Read the ultimate guide to MagicBands here! Not Ordering Before a Price Change If you have a vacation coming up and you waited to order your MagicBands, you may have noticed the price increase that took place in May 2021. The price of the MagicBands went up by a few dollars back in May, and you’ll now find that they typically cost $5 more than they did before. MagicBand Prices at Mouse Gear at EPCOT It helps to order your MagicBands in advance, especially if you’ve planned your vacation well ahead of time. It might help you avoid future price hikes if they happen to occur. Click to read everything you need to know about the recent price increase. Choosing Something Other Than a Solid Color Solid color MagicBands are generally the most affordable at about $20 each (standard price, not pre-arrival). If you are looking for something a little fancier, perhaps with your favorite character or your favorite park represented, you’re going to pay a bit more. These themed MagicBands start at about $10 more than the plain, solid color bands, but some run even a little bit higher. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker MagicBands They do make cool souvenirs after your trip, though, and that’s not a bad price for a souvenir. Check out the new look for Disney’s Key to the World cards! Purchasing a Pre-Arrival Exclusive Sometimes, when you are choosing MagicBands for your upcoming vacation, you’ll come across pre-arrival exclusive MagicBands. These bands are ONLY available to Disney resort guests, and you can only purchase them in advance of your arrival. This means you won’t necessarily find them for sale around Dinsey World. Typically, these bands can cost as much as $15 more than the plain, solid color bands. MagicBand Upgrade Options ©Disney You won’t find these later on shopDisney so if you want them, ahead of time is the only time to get them. Learn about discounted MagicBands here! Forgetting to Use An Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club Discount If you don’t have time to pre-order your MagicBands, or if you just prefer to pick them out when you get to Disney, you’ll find them for sale just about everywhere merchandise is sold. But if you aren’t purchasing them with discounts you may be eligible for, you could be paying up to 20% more than you have to! Annual Passholder Card Show your annual passholder card or your DVC card and a photo ID to get as much as 20% off on your MagicBand purchase (if you happen to have one of these options!). Find out about Walt Disney World annual passholder dining discounts here! Matching Your Disney Dooney & Bourke Bag If you’re like a lot of us, you have fallen in love with at least a few of the Disney Dooney & Bourke handbags and accessories. You may not know that you can find MagicBands to match. Most are limited runs of 1500—2500, and they come in specialty-themed boxes. Some also have special “sliders” — the little charms that slide onto your band. They start at around $50 — which is about double the price of a plain MagicBand. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dog Collection MagicBand Keep in mind, you ARE paying for, essentially, a designer band with a big name behind it. So if you’re in the market for a matchy-matchy purse/MagicBand situation, this is a great option for you (albeit pricier!). Which rare Dooney & Bourke MagicBand did we spot recently? Find out here! Swarovski Crystal and Other Specially Made Custom MagicBands If you’ve been browsing your MagicBand options, you may have come across some of the custom-decorated MagicBands on sites like Etsy. Some are super elaborate, adorned with Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, decals, and more. The more elaborate MagicBands will run you close to $100. That’s a lot of…sparkle! Keep in mind, these custom bands are NOT officially recognized by Disney, so buy at your own risk! Waiting to be bedazzled! They may be really beautiful, but consider the amount of use you’ll get out of it, and you never quite know what you’re buying, unlike purchasing from Disney directly. Maybe check out some actual Disney-themed jewelry instead if you want more mileage out of your bling. Click here to see if MagicBands are right for you! Limited Release MagicBands Some MagicBands are available all the time, and they can be the most reasonably priced. Sometimes, however, Disney releases MagicBands that are only available for a short time. These Limited Release MagicBands are going to cost a bit more. They generally start in the $30 range, but they can go up higher. There’s no way to tell how long they’ll be available, so if it’s something you want, snap them up when you see them. Passholder Magic Band Disney tends to release new MagicBands for many special events like runDisney, holidays, After Hours Events, and lots of other unique celebrations. Click here to see some recently released MagicBands for glitter fans! Limited Edition MagicBands Like the Dooney & Bourke bands, these bands are limited to runs of somewhere between 1500—4000. Some of these bands offer special effects when you touch them to the Mickey head checkpoints going into the theme park. You’ll find these Limited Edition MagicBands in special boxes — sometimes with a surprise of their own — we’ve seen some that came in scented boxes! Limited Edition Baby Yoda MagicBand The price of these MagicBands starts at about $40. See the latest limited edition MagicBands here! Purchasing MagicBands on Amazon, eBay, or Through a Personal Shopper Finally, there’s one other option for MagicBands but it’s not one we recommend. Still it’s worth noting here so you know what you could be getting yourself into. You may have been looking for a specific band or a certain color, or maybe you want your MagicBands earlier than Disney will send them so you can surprise someone. Using an Amazon seller or a personal shopper (often running their own resale sites or working off eBay) is a way to get the MagicBands you want when you want them, but there is often a hefty upcharge and a lot of headaches that can come with it. Limited Edition of a Disney Classic Attraction These sellers are typically not in any way authorized by Disney. Prices can be increeeedibly hiked up (we’re talking a 30 dollar band being sold for HUNDREDS at times!). On top of that, you don’t know if the band you’re purchasing has already been used. Once a band is linked to an account, it can’t be transfered to someone else to use instead. Minnie Mouse: Main Attraction MagicBands resold for a LOT of $$$ It’s not too uncommon to buy (what you think is) a new band only to find you’re out of luck and it has been used! Plus, MagicBand batteries, according to Disney, last about 2 years. You could get a band with a dead (or close to dead) battery and not realize it til too late. Basically, if you’re in the market for bands, this option is there…but we wouldn’t recommend it. Stick to Disney and know you’re getting what you pay for with your bands. We SPOTTED a brand new limited edition MagicBand! Find out which one here! And that’s it! There are quite a few reasons why one Disney MagicBand might cost more than another. You can save money across the board by opting for using the MagicMobile app, which works as well as a MagicBand for entering the theme parks and opening your resort room door (but it’s…you know…still FREE!). But even if you prefer a MagicBand, you don’t have to go all-in where the budget is concerned. Keep this list in mind to keep your MagicBands from getting so expensive.

After canceling its previous program earlier this year, Disneyland Resort has finally released information on its new annual passes! Legacy Passholders finally have answers on what’s next! The new program is called Magic Key and comes in four tiers, each with different prices and benefits. It will launch on August 25th, 2021, and there’s a lot that you need to know before you buy a pass for yourself. So today, we’re sharing the little (but important!) details that you may have missed! Some Things Are Only for California Residents The Imagine Key, which is the cheapest tier of the bunch at $399, is only available for residents of Southern California. It still has the same merchandise and food/beverage discount of 10% as the Enchant and Believe Keys, but you’ll only be able to book 2 days of theme park reservations with this level. You’ll want to check and see if you qualify. Also, the Magic Key payment plan is only available for Southern California residents (living in zip codes 90000-96199). The payment plan offers the chance to do a one-time down payment followed by 12 months of payments based on your remaining balance. After a $179 down payment, the Dream Key is $102/month, the Believe Key is $65/month, the Enchant Key is $40/month, and the Imagine Key is $19/month. The First to Purchase Get a Welcome Package If you purchase your Magic Key within the first 66 days that they’re sold, you’ll get a free welcome package! This is in honor of the 66th Anniversary of Disneyland Resort. You’ll get a new magnet! The package includes items like a premium branded pin, celebratory button, magnet, and more. What a special gift! There Are Some Brand-New Perks! And besides the welcome package and the typical discounts, there are some new perks for Magic Key holders. Disney notes that key holders “may also be able to enjoy special benefits such as a dedicated dining experience and custom menu items at the Magic Key terrace, special offerings at our festivals just for Magic Key holders, a Magic Key holder celebration month, plus other unique surprises!” ©Disney And starting on September 1st, those with a Magic Key can head to Starcade in Tomorrowland for an exclusive, limited-time hangout. Here, you’ll find access to charging stations, a special photo opportunity, and more. It’s Getting Its Own Section on the Disneyland App With the addition of Magic Key, the Disneyland app is getting an upgrade! The new Magic Key portal is coming soon so that Disney can more deeply engage with its community of Magic Key holders. ©Disney Here, guests will be able to manage their passes, access an interactive admission calendar, and book their theme park reservations. It sounds like this is going to be a great planning tool for your next visit! There Are Quite a Few Blockout Dates! And finally, the most important thing you should note if you’re interested in buying a pass other than the Dream Key is that there are quite a few blockout dates. For the Believe Key, there are 48 blockout dates between the time that the pass goes on sale August 25th and September of 2022. ©Disney For the next category, the Enchant Key, there are a total of 151 blockout dates. That’s including all of July, most of December and June, plus large chunks of November, January, April, and August. ©Disney But things are REALLY blocked out for the “cheap” pass, the Imagine Key. 235 dates are blocked out, which is over half of the year! We know that this is the cheapest option, but WOW. The pass is $399 and you’ll be paying that price to only visit on select weekdays in the “off” months. ©Disney If you’re planning on buying a Magic Key, make sure to do your research ahead of time, because some of this stuff is a BIG DEAL! We’ll continue covering all the details and important information as it’s released, so stay tuned to DFB. Click Here to Get All the Details on Magic Key!

Disneyland just announced a NEW annual pass program called Magic Key! Disneyland! Magic Key is taking the place of the former annual pass program that Disneyland announced they were discontinuing earlier this year. We have details on the pricing and tiers as well as when they’ll be released, but let’s talk about HOW to use the new Magic Key program! In order to use your Magic Key to go to Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure, you must have a theme park reservation in addition to a valid Magic Key pass. Here are the steps you need to follow: 1. Access the Calendar The first step to using your Magic Key is to access the calendar. You need to check the Magic Key access calendar, which will show admission and blockout dates for your pass as well as current park reservation availability. Disneyland You can see which Magic Keys have blockout dates here. 2. Make a Reservation The second step is to make a reservation! Make sure you’re signed into your Disney account and your Magic Key ID is linked (which is the 18-digit number you receive upon purchase). Then, go to Park Reservations to start the reservation process. Pick the date and park you want to visit from what’s available. You can make reservations for one park only OR both parks, depending on availability. Disneyland 66th Anniversary Cavalcade If you choose both parks, you can pick which park to start your day at and can switch between parks beginning at 1PM that same day, depending on capacity. You HAVE to enter the first park that you made a reservation for that day before going to the other park. California Adventure Right now, a park reservation for your second park is NOT required after visiting your first park of the day, but it will still depend on if the second park you’re trying to visit has reached its capacity limit. 3. Review and Confirm Your Visit The third and final step is to look over your theme park reservation and agree to the Terms & Conditions (including the COVID-19 liability waiver) and then hit “Confirm” to complete your park reservation. You need to provide an email address to receive your reservation confirmation. Iron Man When arriving at the theme park you’re visiting, present your Magic Key pass in the Disneyland app to enter the park. Disney California Adventure That’s how you use the new Magic Key pass system! Remember, the passes go on sale on August 25th. Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates!
