I’ve written a number of posts about my experience there on the blog (with a few more to come!) so make sure you go back and check those out if […]

A morning on Batuu: my day in Galaxy’s Edge
Wow. I had the opportunity to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and it was honestly better than I could have hoped for. With the reservation system that they have in place until June 23rd it wasn’t overly crowded, and we got to experience a lot of what the land had to offer. There […]
