May 31, 2019 by Becky 8 Comments

June is upon us, which basically means… Star Wars! yes, Galaxy’s Edge is the big news everyone is talking about, and I’m sure you’ll find it all over every blog around in the coming weeks.  I’ll be posting about it as well, and hopefully I can find some interesting or unique angles to share about my experiences. And in the meantime I’m happy to bring you all of the OTHER Disney news going on!

The Disney Food Blog has one of the coolest Disney Bounds inspired by a Disney treat – they’re bounding as the Night Blossom beverage in Pandora!

    I love getting the inside Disney scoop from you! My husband and I are headed to Disneyland this month!! It is more of a coincidence than a plan that we will get to see Galaxy’s Edge while we are there, but that doesn’t mean I am any less excited! Guess we will have to make another trip in 2020 to see the Marvel additions!

About Me

Hi, I'm Becky!

I'm a huge Disney fan in my early 30's and always trying to find a way to put a little bit of Disney into everyday life. I live in Pennsylvania but travel to the theme parks several times a year - I'm an annual passholder at Disney World! In addition to Disney I love traveling, running, and theater.
