Welcome to the Military Disney Tips Monthly Newsletter! Hi there and welcome to this month's newsletter! This month, I’ll be covering the following:
The DOD Assists Disney with Military Details on Disney's Elio
See my post here: The DOD Assists Disney with Military Details on Disney’s Elio Disney World vs. Universal: Which Military Discount Offers the Best Deal? In this post, I compare the ticket options and resort discounts from both destinations, so you can decide which theme park deal is the best fit for your family’s military vacation. Disney World vs. Universal: Which Military Discount Offers the Best Deal? Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Build your own custom droid and bring a piece of the galaxy home with you. Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Mr. Kamal’s in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Mr. Kamal’s is a fan-favorite snack stand located along the shaded walkway between Asia and Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Let’s be real—most people come to Mr. Kamal’s for one reason: the seasoned fries! Mr. Kamal’s in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Kat Saka’s Kettle in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Kat Saka’s Kettle is located in the heart of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The star of the show here (for most people) is the Outpost Popcorn Mix—a colorful, crunchy blend of sweet and spicy kettle corn. It’s unlike any popcorn you’ve had before, combining flavors like chili lime and fruit punch in a purple and red swirl. It’s weird, it’s fun, and it’s very on-brand. But for me, the real gem is the Cold Brew Black Caf. Kat Saka’s Kettle in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina at EPCOT Tangierine Café is located in the Morocco Pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase. You’ll find it tucked just off the main promenade, near the front of the pavilion, across from the outdoor water fountain, making it easy to swing by as you explore the World Showcase loop. Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina at EPCOT Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Explore a treasure trove of galactic relics in this mysterious Black Spire Outpost shop. This isn’t just another theme park gift shop. The Den of Antiquities is a story-rich, immersive space packed wall to wall with relics from across the galaxy. Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge The Milk Stand has the feel of a rugged spaceport refueling station, with glowing tanks, frosted dispensers, and Batuu-style graphics advertising the mysterious “blue and green milk.” Like most of Galaxy’s Edge, the design is immersive and makes you feel like a traveler on another planet.
