My MagicBand is the Storyteller’s statue so appropriate that this was one of our last pictures.
BTW - To me the MagicBand is worth it just for the convenience of entering the Park alone, but if you’re gonna use Genie+ it’s a no-brainer. Photopass and FastPass, sorry “Lightning Line” both on your wrist. Brilliant.

Today we hung out at Disney's Stars Wars: Galaxy Edge hunting bounties using the Magic Bands. Great way to get steps in and be entertained at the same time. We ate at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo and highly recommend Gungan Broth Noodles for a delicious light lunch. Even the cylindrical ice is shaped different from the usual cubes. They did seem to melt slower than crushed ice. Finished the day with our first time riding the bow of the Mark Twain sitting and enjoying the peaceful lake view. Quite nice since the speaker is not as loud on the first deck level and do not smell the burning biodiesel fuel. #disneyland #disney #starswars #starswarsgalaxysedge #magicband #magicbands #magicbandplus #steps #10000 #10000steps #dockingbay7 #goodfood #icecubes #marktwainboat #boatride #riversofamerica #riversofamericadisneyland (at Disneyland/Califonia Adventure) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckm6TyUOLHg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I jumped into this fandom waaaay too late, but I loved their dynamics and along with a lot of other fans, I thought that by the series finale, Sasha would have lost her eye and got a tattoo, Marcy would have a scar on her face due to the helmet coming off, along with some trouble with her spine, and Anne would have lost her right arm (I mean, wrong character but right prediction). 
Anyways! I thought they deserved a trip to Disney and imagined the whole day they would spend at Magic Kingdom, so oh well. Here is the beginning of it!

The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser officially closes in just under two weeks, and as someone who experienced it in many different ways, I wanted to answer some FAQs that reveal exactly how unique, ambitious, and rewarding this experience has been, and why its closure shouldn't be a celebration.
Tumblr media
Q: Is it a hotel?
A: No. It is not just a hotel. This is a 3-day, 2-night immersive experience, and the best thing I can compare it to is an actual cruise. You probably spend the least amount of time inside your cabin, aside from getting a quick wink of sleep between each jam-packed day of constant activities.
Q: Why is it so expensive?
A: This has probably been the biggest comment I've seen even before it opened, and well before I played a part in its story. Again, no one's just paying for a room to sleep in. The price of this experience is all-inclusive. Here's what you would actually be paying for:
all your food, meals, and drinks (aside from alcoholic drinks)
a park ticket to Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park
2 Lightning Lanes, one for Rise of the Resistance and one for Smuggler's Run
16 total hours of constant immersive entertainment, with characters you get to know personally
top-tier concierge service, including luggage brought straight to your room
your room for 2 nights
additional perks and services
There's definitely more I could have added to this list as well. When it's broken down, it's similar to paying for a Deluxe Resort room along with park tickets and food. Yes, it's very expensive, but you're paying for much more than a bed to sleep in.
Q: How does it work?
A: Everything is facilitated through the datapad, a program that can be accessed through the Play Disney app with a valid reservation. This app allows passengers to view their scheduled events (including lightsaber and bridge training), share comms with key characters, access a map of the ship, and more. The datapad also works alongside unique MagicBands that can tap into ship consoles to complete missions and more.
Q: What's the story, and how do you fit into it?
A: It's the Halcyon's 275th anniversary voyage, and many special events are planned - including an excursion day to the ship's very first port of call, Batuu. Everything goes haywire when the First Order boards on suspicion of Resistance activity. The Halcyon Crew Members, the First Order, and more will call on you for help, and you're the only one who can determine your path. The story is set between the events of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
Q: If it's so great, why is it closing?
A: Your guess is as good as mine. I've witnessed this experience change people firsthand, bringing shy children out of their shells and creating communities of adults who get to truly play for the first time since they were kids. It's been a 3-day escape for people to forget the stress of their every day lives and just have fun in a galaxy they love. It's one of Disney's most ambitious projects yet, and to see them give up on it so fast is very disheartening.
Hopefully one day, it'll return in some capacity, and many of you will get the chance to see it for yourselves. Until then, as they say on the Halcyon: May adventure forever find you.

The Heathers+Veronica Trip to Disney World
I guess I should probably introduce myself, hello people I'm Heather and I talk about Heathers and thats about it
I made some earlier headcannons about this but I'm gonna be expanding upon them
Now onto the gays TM
PS I'm gonna explain all the Disney stuff for the people who haven't been
Mac had always wanted to go to Disney World since she was little kid
Her parents wouldn't take her because 1 they didn't want to deal with each other for that long and 2 they didn't want to spend all that time and money to go only for Mac to have a meltdown and not want to do anything
But now Mac is an adult and can do what she wants and she wants to go to Greedy Rat Park (also Disney implemented DAS which is for people who for whatever reason cannot wait in line for extended periods of time, it lets people come back to rides at certain times and skip the line)
Veronica was all in for it, she thinks it would be fun and a good time, and despite the fact they have all this money they don't really go on vacation that often
Duke was pretty iffy on the whole thing, it sounded like fun on paper but they would be in the heat and have to wait in lines and people, but she also knows it would make Mac so happy to go so eventually she gets on board
Chandler is the big holdout
She knows that to get to Disney World they would have to go on a plane and she is super afraid of planes, plus she's also not a huge fan of amusement park rides
It gets to the point that Veronica and Duke planned a surprise trip for as a gift for Mac's bday and they just told Chandler they're going, suck it up buttercup
Chandler throws a hissy fit but they remind her that it would make Mac so happy to go
Mac is like Chandler's kryptonite so when they brought that up Chandler decided to just deal with it
They also decide to take a trip to the beach for her at a later time to make up for this
So her bday comes around and it comes down to the final present
Mac opens it and there's 4 Magicbands (Its a bracelet that acts as a park ticket, payment method, room key and more) in their signature colors and a small note saying 'We're going to Disney World!'
She starts happy crying and pulls them into a big hug
She hugs them so tight that it starts to hurt
They plan to go in October bc it won't be super hot but also not super cold, and most of the kids will be in school so there won't be as many people, both of which are chosen to make the trip as least stressful for Mac as possible
Over the next few months Mac spends all day watching Disney World videos on youtube to know what to expect
She orders everyone matching shirts for every day so they can have cute group photos
She packs her suitcase months in advance and it just sits in the corner of her room
In the meantime Chandler is regretting her decisions
She's afraid of planes and Veronica spends a-lot of time reminding her that planes are safer than cars but she's still afraid
She also shows Chandler videos of the rides to show her exactly what they are gonna be when they get there
Fast forward to the night before, Mac is so excited she is bouncing off the walls while Chandler is internally freaking out because she doesn't want to go on the plane
Veronica seriously considers putting some NyQuil in her coffee so she sleeps the whole flight
They drive to the airport and go through TSA and Chandler is still freaking out but she doesn't wanna ruin it for Mac
Mac finally notices Chandler looking upset and they talk
Chandler confesses that she is afraid of planes but she wants to go on this trip bc Mac has been looking forward to it for months
Mac comforts her and when they get on the plane they get out the split headphones and watch Disney movies the whole ride there
Of course they watch Frozen bc it was their favorite movie during their childhoods
In a weird role reversal its Chandler being the one holding on to Mac's arm during takeoff and turbulence
Veronica and Duke sleep the whole way there bc between dealing with the ball of sunshine who barely slept last night and kept tossing and turning and giggling and the nervous wreck who did the same neither of them got much sleep either
They get to Florida and get their luggage and get on the bus to Disney World
The plan is to spend 5 days not including the day of arrival and departure, one for each park and a free day
They're staying at the Grand Floridian (Biggest, most expensive and fancy hotel) bc they have the money so why not
They arrive at their room and get settled
There's 2 queen sized beds so they have to decide who gets to sleep with who
Duke and Veronica quickly take one of the beds for them bc they would like to sleep and not deal with the other two not being able to sleep
They go have dinner at 1900 Park Fare (Restaurant, weird name ik) where they get to meet Aladdin, Cinderella, Tiana and Mirabel
One of the things they decided while planning was to get as much character dining bc they thought it would be something Mac would enjoy, and they were right
Mac makes a plan there to try and meet as many characters as possible and take pictures with all of them
After dinner they go take a dip in the pool before going rest for the night
Day #1: Magic Kingdom
They decide to go to Magic Kingdom 1st because both it and the Grand Floridian are on the monorail so it would be the easiest to get back to the room if Mac starts to not be able to handle it
They get up super super early bc Mac physically cannot contain her excitement
They have breakfast reservations at the Crystal Palace where they can meet the Winnie the Pooh gang which makes Mac excited (Pooh is her favorite bc he's yellow)
From there they go to Tommorowland
I'm not gonna go over every ride bc if I did that we would be here all day and I would have to make 10 posts to contain it all so I'm just gonna do hilights
Chandler usually stays outside the rides bc she's scared but there's a few that she will go on, usually those that are slow
She does go on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin (shooting ride) and obviously she goes with Duke bc she must beat her
They both fight over who gets to control the spinny stick in the middle
They have special spots that give more points which Duke looked up in advance so when they get to those sections her points skyrocket
Chandler is mad butthurt whenever they exit the ride and Duke is gloating
Veronica actually got more than her but she lets Duke have her victory (She also looked up the special spots in advance)
Mac tries to do literally everything which takes a minute
They go on the Carousel of Progress (show) which occasionally spins to the next scene but Chandler didn't realize this was gonna happen so when it does she screams
After they go on the Tommorowland Speedway (You drive a little car) which is hard to control and Chandler's life flashes before her eyes while Mac goes as fast as she can
They move into Fantasyland where they see Gaston
Gaston goes to Chandler and starts flirting
Mac intersects and asks for a pic and when Gaston poses with his flexed muscles she pulls down her sleeves revealing her toned cheerleader muscles and Gaston's mouth drops
Veronica and Duke are off to the side dying of laughter
When they get to the Haunted Mansion Chandler gets so scared that she has to go through the 'chicken door'
Veronica has never looked more embarrassed in her life when her 20-something-year-old gf has to leave a theme park ride bc she's scared when they went over it before they left
They have lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table (in the Castle) where Mac gets pics with Cinderella (duh), Aurora, Ariel, Snow White and Jasmine
When they go on Jungle Cruise (explanatory) Duke laughs so hard at all the stupid Dad jokes
They finish up the rest of the park and still have some time to spare so they go shopping
Chandler finds a couple of shirts and some cute Disney jewelry but not much else
Same with Veronica, but she buys a couple of pins and other random collectibles
Duke buys some pins of her favorite characters for her office at work plus a few other things
Mac buys so much stuff that she can barely carry it all, shirts, collectibles, pins, stuff for their home and so many stuffed toys
Thankfully they can get it all shipped back to their resort to pick it up when they get back so they don't have to carry it for the rest of the day
They have dinner at Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast restaurant) where they meet Belle and Beast
They try the grey stuff (its delicious)
Afterwards they go back and ride some stuff again
Chandler looked up where all the special spots were while everyone was on other rides so she goes for a rematch and she beats Duke and is celebrating but then Veronica shows that she got 100,000 points over her
Duke and Chandler mope for the next 15 minutes that they got beat by Veronica
They go find some of the characters that Mac missed on the first go round like Buzz Lightyear or Jack Sparrow who only come out randomly
They then go get a spot for fireworks which they watch
Mac happy cries again
They then go back to the resort and pick up their purchases
They have to make 2 trips because Mac bought so much crap
They all pass out because as much fun they had, they are exhausted
Chandler's Favorite Ride: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Duke's Favorite Ride: Jungle Cruise
Mac's Favorite Ride: Under the Sea; Journey of the Little Mermaid
Veronica's Favorite Ride: Haunted Mansion
Day #2: EPCOT
They get to EPCOT early
Mac wants to stay at each park from open to close and bc this is her trip everyone agrees
Veronica enjoys the more educational rides like Spaceship Earth (the globe) and Living with the Land (shows off EPCOT's farming) but Chandler and Duke are bored out of their minds
They go to Cosmic Rewind (Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster) which obviously Chandler sits out of but while she waits she goes into the gift shop
In there they sell Infinity Gauntlets and she decides why the hell not
She gets one of the Iron Man ones bc its red and thats her color
When they get out of the ride they see Chandler with the gauntlet on her hand they start laughing bc the sight of Chandler with this oversized thing on her hand is too funny
Chandler goes up to them and does a terrible Thanos impression and goes "I am inevitable" and tries to snap but she didn't realize that it physically cannot stop
She gets mad that she spent all that money on it and it can't even snap which is like its whole deal
Of course the other 3 buy one too
They go on Test Track (car ride) where you can design your own car and they create the dumbest looking car possible
The wheels are bigger than the rest of the car, it has all these stupid add ons like spoilers and giant exhausts and stickers
They dub it the Heathermobile
They have lunch at Space 220 (it simulates being in outer space) which is cool but Mac is disappointed there are no characters for her to see
They go around the countries on the World Showcase which also bores Chandler and Duke bc its just learning
When they get to Japan Duke and Veronica buy so much anime crap
They all get kimonos in their own colors
Duke debates buying a samurai sword but realizes that she probably wouldn't be able to put that on the plane
They buy a bunch of Japanese snacks including some pocky
Mac and Veronica play the pocky game, Mac loses bc she's giggling the whole time
At each Pavilion Duke makes a terrible impersonation of that country's accent and Veronica just facepalms every time
They go to the Norway Pavilion and Mac and Chandler are excited bc they have all the Frozen shit
They're slightly disappointed bc on the Frozen ride the faces of the animatronics are projected and they look kinda creepy
But after they get to go meet Anna and Elsa and this was like a dream come true moment for kid Mac and Chandler and they take a really nice picture
When they get home they frame it and put it on the wall
They have dinner at Akershus (princess restaurant in Norway Pavilion) where Mac meets most of the princesses she had already seen plus Aurora
Chandler takes a picture with her bc that's her favorite Princess and Disney movie
They get done with everyone pretty quick bc EPCOT is alot smaller than Magic Kingdom so they decide to go drinking around the world
Drinking Around the World refers to going to each country and doing their favorite activity, drinking alcohol
Veronica stays sober bc one of them has to make sure they get back to the room
By the time they get halfway around the Heathers are all wasted and Veronica basically has to drag them back to the room
Chandler's Favorite Ride: The Seas with Nemo and Friends
Duke's Favorite Ride: Cosmic Rewind
Mac's Favorite Ride: Frozen Ever After
Veronica's Favorite Ride: Living with the Land
Day #3: Hollywood Studios
The Heathers wake up hungover as hell
Veronica prepared for this and got some water and other makeshift hangover cures she could make with what they had in the resort gift shop
By the time its time to leave they feel mostly better
They get to the park and go straight for Toy Story Land
They go on Toy Story Mania (similar to Buzz lightyear) and Duke and Chandler had been researching to see what they can do to cheat and win
Upon finding nothing they both try new tactics
During the third section Chandler realizes she's down so she keeps ramming into Duke to try and throw her off balance
Seeing that Chandler is playing dirty, during the next round Duke kisses Chandler which stuns her for a few seconds which allows her to regain the lead
Duke gets the win but then Mac gets more points than her to the shock of everyone
She takes a victory picture and orders a shirt off of Etsy saying "Toy Story Mania champion"
They head to Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars Land)
They got reservations for the lightsaber building and droid making
They each build a lightsaber, Mac is upset bc she can't get a yellow crystal but she finds out she can buy one so it all works out
Once they realize that if they fought with those they would break they go to another gift shop and buy the cheap toy ones
They also all make droids in their signature colors
They go on Smuggler's Run (Millenium Falcon Ride)
Mac and Duke take the pilot role and Veronica and Chandler are the gunners
The two other people unfortunate enough to be with them have to deal with them all yelling at each other bc the gunners arent shooting fast enough and Duke keeps ramming the Falcon into things
They get a low score and they're all kinda upset with each other but not really, they get over it in like five minutes
They go on Star Tours (Star Wars simulator ride) and Veronica is the rebel spy
After they get off the Heathers keep calling her a traitor to the Empire and shit like that
Mac fucking loves the Muppets and nearly happy cries during MuppetVision3D (muppet show)
They have lunch at Sci Fi (you eat in cars and watch old 50's scary movies
Chandler and Duke sit in the back and are scared of the cheesey old movies while Veronica and Mac just laugh at how obiviously fake they all are
They go watch all the shows like the Indiana Jones and Beauty and the Beast ones
Mac goes meet Olaf which is also a childhood dream of hers
They all go to the Frozen Sing a Long and Mac sings along
The rest of them think its cute
Duke is the only one who isn't scared of the Tower of Terror and she goes on alone
There's a great picture of her screaming her lungs out on the ride that they wanted to hang on the wall but Duke wouldn't let them
They have dinner at Hollywood and Vine (just a regular restaurant tbh) where Mac meets Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald
They go see Fantasmic! (Nighttime Show) at the end of the night
When they leave they're just in awe, Mac is happy crying
Chandler's Favorite Ride: Toy Story Mania (even if she lost)
Duke's Favorite Ride: Tower of Terror
Mac's Favorite Ride: MuppetVision3D
Veronica's Favorite Ride: Rise of the Resistance
Day #4: Animal Kingdom
They get there early like every other day
They get in line for Flight of Passage (Avatar flying ride) and they are just in awe of how amazing of an experience it was
Even Chandler who doesn't normally like rides through it was an amazing ride
They buy little Banshees which sit on their shoulders and its really cute
They have breakfast at Tusker House where Mac gets to meet the whole Mickey Mouse gang
Next is Kilimanjaro Safari (self-explanatory)
Mac has an amazing time seeing all the different animals, especially the stuff they don't have back in their local zoo like hippos and crocodiles and she takes a bunch of pictures
Afterwards they has reservations to go on a closer tour of the ride where they can get a whole lot closer to the animals and they even get to feed some of them which makes Mac so fucking happy
They go to the Tough to be a Bug show and right as the show ends the seat moves like bugs are crawling under it and it scares the crap out of all of them
There's several shows involving birds where they can see him up close and afterwards Mac talks to the handlers about the animals
They go on Kali River Rapids (raft ride) and they all get soaked except for Chandler who wisely sat that one out
They all come back with wet clothes and Chandler just has this 'i told you so' attitude
Mac is pretty disappointed with the Dinosaur area and how low quality the whole thing seems
Animal Kingdom is pretty small and there isn't a whole lot to do so they call it an early night
Chandler's Favorite Ride: Flight of Passage
Duke's Favorite Ride: Expedition Everest
Mac's Favorite Ride: Kilimanjaro Safari
Veronica's Favorite Ride: Na'vi River Journey
Day #5: Free Day
They decide to sleep in and just cuddle when they wake up
Even Mac, who wants to go out and just do things is tired and in desperate need of physical affection from her gfs
They decide to spend the morning at Disney Springs, the shopping center for Disney World
There's plenty of non-Disney shopping to do there like Uniqlo, the Coke Store, M&Ms and their favorite, the LEGO store
They all get a plush M&M with their signature color and they snack on a giant bag of them that they bought
They buy just so much Disney crap bc its their last day
Clothes, Collectibles, Duke buys like 20 different pins, Home decorations
Mac gets a bunch of plushes
When they go checkout at the World of Disney (main store at Disney Springs) the cashier just sees 4 women all carrying as much stuff as they physically can and has to call someone to help them bring it all to the area to ship it to the resort
Then they go to the LEGO store and buy the 400 dollar Disney Castle plus other Disney sets
They go around and eat a bunch of different treats and snacks
They go back to the room to rest for a little while before deciding to go to putt-putt golf
Obviously Duke and Chandler make it a competition which Mac wins
Mac is really good at putt-putt
Then they go back to the room, take a dip a the pool and get some drinks
In the following morning they have to arrange the shipment of all of their purchases to their home which is made more difficult bc Disney needs their receipts to be able to ship so they are just scrambling to find all the necessary ones before the bus to bring them back to the airport gets there
They do manage to figure it all out and they get on the bus and eventually the plane back to Ohio
Despite everything they all had a good time and they're thinking about making it a yearly trip, much to Mac's delight

Question for any folks who have experience with Batuu Bounding/Disneyland!
I'm going to Galaxy's Edge for the first time very soon, and I'm both extremely excited but also terrified I'll do something wrong. I've been wanting to go since it was first announced, and I'm not sure when I'll get another opportunity so I want to make this count!
I love dressing up so of course i want to try Batuu Bounding (dressing up in-universe), but my personal sense of what counts as costumey or not is extremely skewed. Adults are technically not allowed to wear costumes inside Disneyland, but people are also encouraged to "dress like a local" when visiting Batuu, aka Galaxy's Edge, aka Star Wars land. This creates a very gray zone on what counts as a costume and what is Batuu bounding.
I've tried to do a ton of research on my own, reading the official rules, blogs, and even reddit, but would appreciate any feedback, especially if you have personal experience! Note, I'll be going to Disneyland, aka Disney West, aka Anaheim, California.
So my question: Do you think they'll let me in with these outfits?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Technically I'm following their guidelines:
-Not attempting to look like any official character
-No robes/cape (just a scarf that can be adjusted)
-No weapons except lightsaber (yes, it's the Visions one from Lop & Ochō. I'm Japanese, I thought it fitting I get the Japanese lightsaber lol)
-No hard armor—except the back of glove plates, which are really small and I think I've seen people with those? After receiving advice on Twitter, I'm just gonna leave the gloves off entirely, better not to risk it plus they're gonna be uncomfy anyway
-Nothing dragging on ground
-No costume pieces; both of the above outfits are a combination of traditional Japanese-style, J-punk/rock, alternative, and natural cotton/linen fashion, all of which I wear regularly as part of my daily wardrobe (see what I mean by "my sense of what counts as too costumey is extremely skewed" LMAO)
-I know they have a "no masks" rule, but mine is a COVID mask, and they allow those right? If the outer mask protector is too costume-y, I can defs take it off, but I ain't going without any mask.
-My "I am not a cast member" item is the jetpack backpack, but idk I don't think I look like a cast member
I was gonna make the black dress one main but I think I liked the second one with vest and kama more (let's see if I can tolerate wearing pants all day lmao). Everything is layered, can easily mix 'n match tops/bottoms, I have a few other color variation tops I can mix in too. I also think Cali is gonna be way warmer than I'm expecting so I may shed layers. For now I'm thinking of making my main day the second one, except instead of a green shirt under the green vest, I'll wear a black one.
Also, note that while my True Mandos leather patch is skewed on the green outfit in the above photos, it'll be properly attached on the day of. I just wanted it lightly attached for a quick try-on photo, but it can securely attach via pins on the back! (also yes, that is a mini Fennec-inspired light-up Greeblie <3 )
Also a few more closeups:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The empty strap thing is a harness to carry a Droid Depot droid, which I have a reservation to build on the first droid. The casings holder thing on the strap that makes it look like a bandolier are kyber crystal holders. I also have an empty leather holder for a detonator soda can and yet another kyber crystal holder on my belt. After getting advice on Twitter, I'm going to put all of these in my bag when I enter the park to reduce how cluttered I look at the entrance, since they're technically all things to carry stuff I will be buying inside the park but do not yet have.
I have a giant mythosaur brooch on my scarf, but it's not solid metal, but a resin-metal mix. I think it should count as a "pin" and not armor.
The thing on my left arm is a decked out Magicband+. I still have no idea how to use it but I hope it will be intuitive ^ ^;
(yeah, so many Etsy sellers have received my money over the past half year that has passed since I started planning for this trip lmao)
I also received feedback on Twitter that my lightsaber sheath looks too much like a katana which may trigger security, so I'm going to be making a little end cap for it to make it look blunter. It's a nice Pixel blade attached to an expensive Proffie lightsaber, so I do want to protect it, and hope a blunted endcap will make it clearer that it's a lightsaber.
I'll probably only bother with the droid carrier + lightsaber + kyber crystal bandolier on one of the three days I'm there, so I can travel lighter on my other days!
I'm really hoping I'll get to talk to Boba/Fennec/Din on at least one of the 3 days I'm there, which is one of the reasons why I've got so much Mando stuff on (in addition to just, trying to make a "bounty hunter" look, and also eyyy Mandos). Idk if it's too subtle or if they'll ignore me bc I'm trying too hard sobs
So yeah, with my aforementioned modifications, do you think they'll let me in?
Any feedback, opinions, or even general advice for a first time visitor to Batuu would be immensely appreciated <3
Thanks so much!!! ;A;
