It’s a little hard to declare anything in Galaxy’s Edge unusual when the whole land is designed to be that way. No alleyway, building, or path is supposed to look familiar. That’s the point. So when pulling pictures for this post, I instead tried to think about areas I don’t see much – whether on […] Read more…

As you walk through Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll see Storm Troopers and First Order flags clearly marking their territory. But on the outer edges of the land, you’ll see signs of a Resistance outpost.

I’ve talked about my love of so called “hidden gems” from the onset of this blog. For me, the best part of Disneyland is the attention to detail. The tinier the hidden gem, the better.
