This month brought a mix of commercialized and creative celebrations for Star Wars Day, with Disney gift shops quickly clearing out themed merchandise while Orlando International Airport delivered an excellent parody video. At the parks, new additions to Smugglers Run included The Mandalorian and Grogu, though some fans feel the attraction needed updates sooner. Universal celebrated its first anniversary with a highly anticipated Chronos Tower model that faced criticism for its high price and limited availability, alongside new themed pins and merchandise. Disney improved Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster with Muppet characters, while Universal reimagined its Horror Make-Up Show despite losing some original charm. Dining updates included Jaws-themed theming at Richter’s Burger Co. and new menu items like three-patty burgers and honeycomb cereal drinks. Various artists contributed impressive artwork capturing the essence of both parks’ attractions and food offerings.
