Celebrating 4 Years of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
This week we met up with a light saber celebration to commemorate the opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. This greatest addition to the Studios park came with enormous anticipation. We’ll dial back the clock to commemorate those moments and talk about the most galactic memories I’ve had experiencing this corner of the cosmos. We’ll also go through the land, the attractions, the food/beverage, the retail experience and more as we note what works best–and what really could still be improved upon. Join us as we celebrate the first four years of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.
