Let’s face it, some of the snacks that you can find in Disney World are just plain out BORING. And, you didn’t shell out thousands of dollars to chow down on popcorn, pretzels, and other eats that you could pick up from your local grocery store and have on your couch!

So, as people who make a living off of snacking, we’re bringing you ALL the ways that you can take your dining game to the NEXT. LEVEL. in Disney!
Think the only place you can truly “eat and drink around the world” is at EPCOT? Well, you’re WRONG. 😱 Maybe you’re thinking — “oh, okay, I can eat some Indian and African-inspired dishes at Animal Kingdom or Animal Kingdom Lodge. That’s what you’re talking about right?” NOPE. Once again, WRONG!

You’ve heard the words mentioned — maybe just a rumbling in the distance — *whispers* the Star Wars Hotel. You’ve heard about the undeniably HIGH prices for this experience, and how it’ll have blue shrimp and Star Wars characters and all kinds of other stuff. You’ve heard about these things and maybe even seen the concept art. But what is it REALLY like? What food is available? What does lightsaber training actually look like? Well, friends, you’re in the right place.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Entrance
If you’re thinking about traveling to a galaxy far, far away but you’re not sure if the brand-new Star Wars hotel in Disney World is right for you, we’ve got you covered.

One of the most popular add-ons to a Disney World vacation is PhotoPass. This one-time purchase of $169 via Memory Maker (prior to arrival, or $199 in the parks after you arrive) gives you access to all of the digital downloads of pictures taken of you and the family while in Disney World, whether it’s an on-ride photo or a picture taken by one of Disney’s PhotoPass Cast Members.
Cinderella Castle
There are some big changes coming with PhotoPass, however. Keep in mind that PhotoPass is NOT included with the new Genie+ service (instead, users get special augmented reality lenses to use while snapping pictures on your phone), nor does it come with Disney World’s new Annual Pass system — Annual Passholders who want PhotoPass on their next vacation, will have to purchase it separately for $99 per year, per pass.
