Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge “Blue and Green Milk” ! What’s the fuss about these colorful elixirs ?

If you haven’t heard about the Blue & Green Milk at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland (Coming soon in Disney World in August 2019) , Well you’re about to find out now!

But, what are they made of, how much are they, where can you find them and how do they taste ?

“Well, your about to find out” !

You can first thank Mr. Luke Skywalker himself , since he drank both of them on the big screen, which apparently has had his fans in “aww” over these colorful elixirs!

Where can you get these in Galaxy’s Edge ?

Planet Batuu has its very own “milk stand” , so park guests can grab a glass of Blue or Green Milk of their very own !

(Right between the Droid Depot & First Order Cargo)

Even while waiting in line to grab one or both of these milks , you’ll find decorative jugs of the Blue & Green milk hanging from the ceiling !

So how much for these funky vibrant colored milks ?

Which ever milk you decide to get to tickle your fancy , will run you $7.99 each ….But for Disney prices , that’s about the ballpark one can expect to shell out .

Nope it’s not “Milk” per-say. Both have no dairy in them ! They have the same base of “Coconut and rice milk”, which is great for the lactose intolerant and vegan fans . And regular fans should as well not have an issue with that !

The Consistency ?

First off, it’s a frozen type of drink not a “thin” liquid and there’s lots of comments on this part .

Some say similar to a milkshake, some say its frothy but almost frozen, some have said similar to things like Lefou’s Brew at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom and others have said it’s similar to the Butterbeer In Harry Potters Wizarding World in Universal Studios!

So , apparently you’ll have to be your own judge on that part !

Blue Milk – (What’s in it & how does it taste)?

The frozen Blue Milk is flavored with dragon fruit, pineapple, watermelon & lime . Many have mixed reviews on the actually taste however!

Some say it’s fruity and they can taste some of the ingredients. While others say they don’t taste much of the ingredients at all , but they say it’s extremely sweet .

Again, you’ll have to make that call yourself when you mosey up to the counter for a “Blue Milk” !

Now the Green Milk , (There’s a mixed bag with this one) !

Like the Blue Milk, the Green Milk is also served frozen, however uniquely different regarding the taste . It’s being said it’s a mix of being an “exotic taste to even floral tasting” !

Many say there’s a strong citrus in the flavor (think oranges, grapefruits and other citrus based fruit), but not super strong .

There have even been comments stating similar to a “green” Pepto Bismol (Ewww) to a liquified floral candle !

These comments shouldn’t deter you from attempting the Green milk however, as everyone’s taste buds and palette are quite different!

Pinning down the exact flavors inside the green milk is becoming a huge magical Disney secret!

But, surely with time the truth will come out !

Disney Freebies for birthdays, anniversaries and other special Event’s!

Will you (or someone in your group) be celebrating a birthday, engagement, anniversary or other special event during your trip to Disney World?

If so, you’re bound to get some Disney freebies & extra pixie dust !

Here’s a little list of things you can get for “for free”, for those special times while at Disney World :

1.) Celebration buttons !

Get these at your resort front desk or any of the Guest Relations desks in the parks ! They are free, and can be for birthdays, first visits , anniversaries or a special accomplishment !

“Just let them know what your celebrating, so they can write your name on the correct button”!

2.) free “Icee” (your choice of flavor) at “Club Cool” in Epcot at the counter ! If it’s your birthday, let them know (they may ask for your ID) and they will tell you the Icee Flavors they have to choose from and you’ll be able to enjoy that yummy & refreshing freebie !

3.) Also while at “Club Cool” in Epcot, go enjoy all the free sodas from Countries around the world ! So many to try out and don’t forget to try the infamous “Beverly” flavor from Italy !

4.) Don’t be surprised how many times you may hear “congratulations or happy birthday/anniversary” while you have your free celebration buttons on !

“Enjoy it, it’s your special day“!

As well, Cast Members (employees) offer freebies to some people at random, so don’t be surprised if one stops you when they notice your celebration button for a surprise or treat !

Some of the things we’ve be given so far for our birthdays and anniversary have been things such as, free pins from Pin trading stations, being pulled to front of the lines on rides . As well, free chocolates, cupcakes , candy & other goodies !

5.) Have a Restaurant reservation ? Well, once again the cast members are quite the magical people !

And if they spot your celebration buttons you may find yourself getting a free dessert or a special card signed by characters .

Or you may even find cast members singing happy birthday to you !

6.) Heading to Disney Springs ? Many of the Sweet Shops give out samples/goodies (and not just for celebration folks) !

Make sure to check out , Ghirardelli Chocolate shop, Goofy’s Candy Company and the Ganachery to get some freebies to enjoy .

7.) Free Starbucks? If it’s your birthday, yep ! Sign up for “Starbucks Gold Rewards” prior to your trip and make sure you have the Starbucks app downloaded on your phone.

I wouldn’t wait to do this, since Disney Wi-Fi can be spotty and you likely won’t get your birthday reward in time.

With your reward ready, head to Starbucks in Epcot, Magic Kingdom or Disney Springs to pick any drink of your choosing !

Hey it’s your birthday , so try something wild on the menu. You can even pick a “secret menu” drink , so the sky’s the limit!

8.) Get “Pixie dusted” to celebrate your special event !

Head straight through the Castle and back to the “Castle Couture” shop !

Find any cast member in there and let them know about your special day or celebration, and ask to be “Pixie Dusted” !

Why not sparkle through the parks to make your event even more magical !

So don’t forget to enjoy these freebies & celebration freebies during your next stay in Walt Disney World!

You ”can” do a Disney vacation , if you stick to a strict budget .

Don’t think you can afford to do a Disney vacation ?

You can IF you make a point to save up for it and IF you stick to a strict budget once there .

Here’s many ways to do Disney on the cheap , so you can stick to the budget you have in place !

1.) Drive to Disney, instead of flying –

Airfare (even what’s called Cheapo air flights) is expensive!

Save a couple thousand depending on the size of your family and drive it .

2.) Go at off-peak times –

You’ll even find there are lower crowds by going during off-peak time , and you can usually save 25-30% on resort costs . (January, February, parts of March are great off-peak Times)

3.) Pass on the meal plans –

Buy food for your room for breakfast , and pack lunches for the parks ! And enjoy dinner at a more budget friendly restaurant in the parks . You’ll be saving a ton on food costs .

4.)Stay on Disney property –

You get free Disney transportation to the parks and also enjoy extra Magic Hours and other perks.

5.)Skip the Park Hopper Pass –

Hopping between parks at Walt Disney World is time-consuming and expensive. Save money by picking your park for the day and staying there . Plus, you’ll be saving a lot of money by not buying Hopper Passes !

6.)Skip the “Bings & Whistles” –

When it comes to Disney, you will be tempted to buy everything they offer to make sure your trip is “magical”. But even the most budgeted trip to Disney , is still quite “magical” !

So don’t buy the Memory Maker photo package (Take your own photos) and don’t pay extra for water parks (remember, your resort has one or many pools to use ) .

7.) Let kids pay for their own souvenirs

Set a souvenir budget before leaving for the trip, as well , they can add their allowances and gift money to that budget .

Kids are better at evaluating their options when their own money is on the line. Once you are done with purchases, make a point to quit visiting souvenir shops.

When kids understand their own spending limits up front, it works .

8.) Purchase Disney trinkets/souvenirs at home (Walmart/Target/Dollar Store) before you arrive –

Bringing souvenirs from home is a great way to give a child /kid a surprise souvenir.

Slip the souvenir/s near them while their sleeping (maybe a stuffed Mickey or Minnie) , so when they wake up in the morning , the Disney Magic gets them as they open their eyes !

You can get creative with this , and save money as well !

9.) Beverages/Souvenir Mugs –

Disney Resorts sell refillable souvenir mugs for $16.99, but the catch is that this mug can only be used at Disney resorts and not at the 4 theme parks . (Don’t get sucked into these unless you know you’ll be at the resort a lot) .

Explain and remind to your family about your budget . Maybe you could have one sugary drink a day (maybe at dinner? ) and bring your own water bottles and keep them filled with water the rest of the day .

10.) Bring rain ponchos –

Bring rain ponchos from home and DON’T leave the parks when it rains. People tend to leave the parks or hide in stores/restaurants the entire time it’s raining .

Well, if there’s no lightening, throw those ponchos on and hit the rides ! Yes, most rides are open during rain and you’ll have hardly any wait times and get to enjoy more rides !

11.) Split Snack Food –

Disney has a huge abundance of snacks , and they add up . But if you have budgeted some “splurge snacks” into your money. Here’s an idea to try for say a family of four .

Consider buying two Mickey Pretzels or Churros (instead of four) and splitting them . Which can save for snacks for another day as well !

12.) Extra Magic Hours –

Another great way to maximize your family time at Disney World is to beat the crowds by arriving early (or staying late). Guests of Disney resorts can enjoy extended Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom .

It’s a “Perk” for staying at a Disney Resort and won’t cost you anything extra! So you get more time in parks & don’t interrupt your budget.

13.) Have groceries delivered to your Resort –

If you do drive and can’t fit groceries/food in your car , you can utilize things such as Amazon Prime and Garden Grocer , Which deliver food/water/drinks/snacks right to your resort.

So you don’t have to waste vacation time by driving to try to get food for your room !

So In a nut shell, by sticking to a budget you really can do a Disney vacation, and enjoy it .

And remember, just because for this trip you don’t have the top Resort , purchase Park Hoppers or get all the Bings & Whistles , Your still experiencing all the Magic of Disney !

Disney is not going anywhere, don’t forget that ! So future trips can be planned/saved for and include a different resort or some of those “extras” then !

Disney’s “Service Your Way” Program

Service Your Way’ was introduced late last year at select Walt Disney World Value & Moderate Resort hotels, and it can save you $10 a night, if you are prepared to lose housekeeping services.

Here is how it works –

At your resort check-in, you can decline any housekeeping services and in exchange receive a $10.00 per night credit.

Opting out of housekeeping means your room will not be cleaned and beds will not be made at all .

It isn’t possible to choose which nights of your stay to opt out of – So basically, it is all or nothing.

Resorts where ‘Service Your Way’ is available include :

*Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort

*Disney’s All-Star Music Resort

*Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort

*Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

*Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort

*Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

*Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground (Cabins)

*Disney’s Pop Century Resort

*Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter

*Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside

“Housekeeping for the last night of your stay cannot be declined”.

If you are staying in a dog-friendly room at :

*Disney’s Art of Animation Resort

*Disney’s Port Orleans Resort

*Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground , you cannot take part as housekeeping will need to be done .

If you decline housekeeping, you can still call up housekeeping on the room phone to request fresh towels, glasses, garbage removal and toiletry items.

Daily visual room inspections will still be happen even if you have opted out of Housekeeping.

Your Disney Gift Card will be sent to the email address provided at check-in, and is usually received within a few hours of check-in.

Note that “Service Your Way” may not be offered at all times, so check with the front desk at check-in if you want to take part in the program !

First look inside the new Disney Skyliners & some questions answered!

The Orlando Sentinel was treated to a first look inside the Disney Skyliner gondolas — and got answers to top questions and concerns about the Skyliner System and its gondolas.

The Sentinel reported that the Skyliner System will carry 300 gondolas between Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and the Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach, and Riviera Resorts.

The capacity of the Skyliner System will come close to matching the capacity of the Monorail system.

The announced opening date for the system continues to be a very generic “Fall 2019,” but the Orlando Sentinel learned that guests will see the system running at full capacity — in test mode — starting in August.

The tests will last “for months around-the-clock” according to the Orlando Sentinel.

There are going to be 22 different character themes on the gondolas in eight colors. There will also be some brightly colored gondolas without character theming.

The gondolas will be running on the system at 11 mph and anywhere from 15 feet to 60 feet in the air.

The entire cable system is 6 miles long. Each ride is anticipated to take approximately 15 minutes.

Each gondola will have two benches facing each other with a capacity of 10 people.

Thomas Mazloum, a Disney Senior Vice President , also addressed ventilation concerns, telling the Orlando Sentinel that the gondolas were designed for the Florida climate.

According to Mazloum, the gondolas include reflective windows to block the sunlight, as well as mesh screens on both sides to allow for a breeze.

Another concern of Disney vacationers has been wheelchair accessibility.

The gondolas will be constantly running in the stations and guests will be able to climb into the gondolas as they go.

Operators will have the ability to pause gondolas for wheelchairs and guests requiring extra boarding time, however.

Sudden Disney Rules set for May 1st 2019

Disney has updated their policies on a few key items. Beginning May 1, 2019 all of these items will be prohibited at both Walt Disney World (and Disneyland):

• Strollers larger than 31″ (79 cm) wide and 52″ (132 cm) long

• Stroller wagons (like the popular Keenz variety shown below)

• Smoking & Vaping inside of all parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon), ESPN Wide World of Sports, and Disney Springs.

•

• Smoking areas will be provided however outside the entrances, at this time the exact locations aren’t known as of yet .

•

• Loose ice and dry ice inside of coolers

• Disney has said that “…you may continue to bring ice inside water bottles or resealable bags. The new rule applies to ice that is loose within a container such as a cooler.”

•

• If you have a freezer available to you (however, most of the small fridges in the rooms do NOT) you can also use re-usable ice packs, or, you can also get cups of ice from counter service/quick locations for free.

•

A LOT of people are quite upset with these sudden changes and rightfully so.

With the amount of money it takes booking these trips , it would have been fair to those who had already been booked well in advance to give more time on these changes .

Supposedly through the grapevine all of these overnight changes may be due to the Galaxy’s Edge Opening announcement .
