Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
If you can believe it, we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland park. Easily one of the most anticipated theme park projects in recent years, the best word I can find to describe the journey to Batuu is “impressive.”
The Disney Parks offer a wide variety of special tours for guests. Especially at Walt Disney World, where you can have experiences like snorkeling with sea creatures at Epcot, get a closer look at elephants at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, take a historic look at Magic Kingdom, or even go behind-the-scenes all over the resort. But are these tours worth the additional cost? My answer is an emphatic “Yes!” …but not for everyone.
If you were to ask me what I think one of Universal Studios Hollywood’s greatest strengths is, I would say the character interactions and meet & greets. Every time I enter that park there seems to be a large amount of characters in a fairly small area with lines of guests waiting to interact with them.
I often see jokes made about how expensive it can be to visit your favorite theme park. It’s not uncommon to find a guest in a theme park wearing an Etsy-made shirt reading “Most expensive day ever.”
