Sometimes better is late than never and in this instance we’re delivering you last Saturday’s update today! Life happens! This past weekend we got a big taste of the 2018 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival at Disney California. It was also Mini Gay Day in the parks which means there were special rainbow themed purchasables around the park.
Other ongoing projects also continue to take shape including the revamped new land Pixar Pier and the completely ground-up new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Major work is finally underway at Mickey and Friends for the new structure plus we’ll have a merch run for you. All of this and more in our latest pictorial update. ENJOY!

Mini Gay Day
The main event takes place in October but last weekend was Mini Gay Day.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We’ve been covering the construction of the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land at Disneyland for quite some time now and while there’s only so much you can see into the new land from the parking structure and inside the park, a new video released today by Disney gives us a flyover look of the massive new land that will be brining a galaxy far, far away, right into Anaheim.
