The Disney Parks are celebrating the upcoming release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hits theaters May 22nd, with fun new releases and special events for fans to take part in. I'm SO excited!
The BDX droids captured the hearts of many fans when they first met them a few years ago. The droids only visited Batuu for a limited time, but I think this new popcorn bucket will hold us over until we hopefully see them again someday. Who knows, maybe we'll find a working BDX droid for purchase at the Droid Depot in the future.
Coming soon to WDW.
Limit 2 per person.
Cost: $26.99.
Where to purchase (Disneyland): Galactic Grill’s Seasonal Novelty Release (Available through mobile order on May 21 to 23), Popcorn Cart in Tomorrowland, Kat Saka’s Kettle, and the Beverage Carts on Batuu.
Where to purchase (WDW): Disney’s Hollywood Studios Souvenir Release in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on select days Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Kat Saka’s Kettle, Ice Cold Hydraulics, Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre Refreshments near Fantasmic!, and select popcorn carts throughout the park.
This has got to be one of the coolest, if not the coolest, sippers Disneyland has ever sold in the parks! I love that it was designed to wear as a backpack, and the fact that it also looks like you're carrying Grogu on your back is the perfect touch.
Coming soon to WDW.
Limit 2 per person.
Where to purchase (Disneyland): Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Ronto Roasters, Tomorrowland Fruit Cart, and Galactic Grill.

Magic shots are a fun way to elevate your photos at the Disney Parks! I will absolutely be making it a point to try and get a photo with Rotta the Hutt. Who would you choose?
Available only for a limited time!
Characters: Rotta, Anzellans, Grogu w/cookie (not pictured), and Grogu w/cookie using the Force variation (not pictured).
Available near the Millennium Falcon, Marketplace, A-Wing, near Droid Depot, as well as additional locations including Tomorrowland at Disneyland, Disney Springs at Disney World, Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris and select Disney Cruise Line experiences.
I love that they're bringing back how to draw Grogu to the Animation Academy! I've drawn him before, but it would be fun to do it again and compare it to my previous drawing. I think it would be cool if Mando and one of the Anzellans were additional options. It's Star Wars month, so why not?
Location: Animation Academy in Disneyland California Adventure park.
Classes take place every 30 minutes throughout the day. No reservations required.
I saw "Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga" last year and really enjoyed it. I found it to be beautiful and emotional. I'm guessing "The Curious Child" will be shorter, but I can't wait to see Grogu's adorable little shadow on the spires.
A limited time nightly projection.
Catch Grogu as he tests his power to recall fond memories of his adventures with The Mandalorian in “The Curious Child,” playing after “Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga” at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland park.
Thanks to my friend Gabe for the photo of "The Curious Child", and to the Disney Parks Blog for the news.
