BRIGHT SUNS! It’s blog two on our countdown to
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This past weekend we were lucky enough to attend an exclusive preview of
Batuu. We learned SO much about what this park extension will offer!
Oga’s Cantina and the
Milk Stand were definite stand-outs! So we’re here today to tell you what we saw, tasted, and loved about these two VERY important places!
(Haven’t read the first blog yet? Make sure you check that out
here! Hint: We talked about building some really cool stuff!)
Oga’s Cantina

We’ve got to admit, seeing
Oga’s Cantina in person felt entirely surreal. We’ve read about it online and browsed through many photos of it for sure. But to actually stand there, ready to walk in, we felt like we won the grand prize.
Oga’s Cantina is the “It” spot for bounty hunters, smugglers, and others (now, including you). Take a moment to break away from the walkways of
Batuu and refuel on an assortment of food and drink. Gather around with others at the bar or in your own private booth before heading out to take on your next journey through the galaxy.

When we walked in, we were greeted by dim lighting, upbeat music, and a very lighthearted atmosphere. For those who are always in search of the next great bar, this hangout spot takes the cake.
Unusual(ly Good) Drinks and Eats
At the time of our preview, we were not able to purchase anything. However, that didn’t stop us from sneaking a peek at the menus. We took a look at what galactic offerings will be featured on the grand opening and we think you’re all going to like the selection.

As you can see, there’s really something for everyone. From hot to cold beverages, to even non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, everyone in your party will leave
Oga’s Cantina satisfied. Pricing per item varies, with the low-end looking at $4 for a double espresso, up to $85 for the
Rancor Beer Flight.
But regardless of pricing, each concoction on the menu looks very promising. And, food for thought, we did have the opportunity to sample the
Jedi Mind Trick. This drink sells at $16 and is created with grapefruit & rose vodka, velvet falernum bols blue curacao, white grape and lime juice, and grapefruit bitters. We found it to be the PERFECT combination and a definite buy when you decide to visit.

Get ready for your intergalactic travel at
Oga’s Cantina! Reservations are now available, so go ahead and
reserve your spot at this must-visit bar.
The Milk Stand
How could we talk about one drink location without diving into the
Milk Stand? The go-to beverage for all of
Batuu (and
Luke Skywalker) has to be the blue and green milk (and it’s all vegan). We tried both of these delicious options and were very surprised by the flavor!

With the consistency of an icy smoothie (PERFECT for those hot, Florida days), the blue milk’s (left) rice and coconut milk-based drink is sweet and fruity. The green milk (right) tasted like a cup full of springtime with a dash of citrus. If we HAD to pick, we’d go blue, but for citrus, fans should definitely aim for green! It’s the summer beverage we’ve been needing!

If you’re over 21, try either milk with a dash of rum (for blue) or tequila (for green). Non-alcoholic milk runs at $7.99 and $14 with alcohol. And if you’re one to collect souvenir items, you can ask for your (non-alcoholic) milk of choice in the
Bubo Wampa Family Farms Sipper! These can be purchased for $24.99 at the
Milk Stand.
Til The Spire…
So, what are you waiting for?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge may not open until August 29th, however, it’s never too early to purchase your Disney Theme Park tickets! Get them early and get prepared to travel to
Batuu for an out of this world galactic journey.
And after your journey back from
Batuu, look no further than
Magical Vacation Homes for your magical galaxy villa. Our homes are perfect for the Orlando vacation and close by to all things
Star Wars.
We’ll see you tomorrow when we talk about
Chewbacca,
Stormtroopers and other galactic friends.
Until next time, Til the Spire, and have a Magical day!
