Hollywood Studios Food Update

Oga’s Cantina

If you’re heading to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it’s practically a necessity to stop by Oga’s Cantina for a few drinks from a galaxy far, far away! Since we were daydreaming about a trip to the space bar, we decided to take you along with us for a review!

Just hanging out in a galaxy far, far away

Obviously, we were thrilled to listen to DJ R3X spin a few hit tunes…

…but (if we’re honest) we were totally there for the boozy beverages! During this particular visit to Oga’s, we tried the T-16 Skyhopper made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Bols Melon Liqueur, Kiwi, and Half and Half

Fun space drink

…as well as the Dagobah Slug Slinger made with Herradura Reposado Tequila, Bols Blue Curaçao, Citrus Juices, Ginger, Herbs, and Bitters.

We also snagged a snack to pair with our sips, so we tried the Batuu Bits. Disney described them as “Crispy Galaxy Snack Bits with Spiced Chermoula Dip,” and our reporters felt pretty torn.

Yummy bits

While they all agreed that the snack mix and dip were great, the dried veggies and root bits that were seasoned caused a bit of controversy among our reporters!

A FUN snack!

So, what did we end up decided about the drinks and snack we got at Oga’s? You’ll have to read our full review to find out!

Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant

Speaking of out-of-this-world spots, you can step into your favorite sci-fi movies over at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios too! And, we decided to go ALL OUT during our visit by trying lots of items off the menu.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater

Along with the Pan-seared Salmon Pasta

Plus, we had to try a few drinks while we were enjoy our films! So, we sipped on the Long Island Lunar Tea made with Bacardí Superior Rum, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Hendrick’s Gin, Corazon Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, and Sweet-and-Sour with a splash of Coca-Cola

Long Island Iced Tea Anyone?

…and the Spicy Martian Margarita with Patrón Silver Tequila, Ancho Reyes Verde Liqueur, Lime Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar.

Just the Right Amount of Spiciness!

The atmosphere alone is an extremely good reason to go visit the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. But, you’ll have to read our review down below to see if the FOOD is worth the reservation too!
