Rising moons! Tomorrow is an exciting day, as it marks the one-year anniversary of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In anticipation of this milestone, tonight we’re taking you on a virtual, 360-degree trip inside two of the most popular venues in the land: Oga’s Cantina and Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities!

These two videos capture one of my favorite things about traveling to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu … I literally just love standing still and looking around. There’s so much to see, so much to hear, so many incredible details to soak in – I seem to discover something new every time I visit.

Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities is the perfect place for this type of visual exploration, with its eclectic selection of rare and mysterious items. In this 360-degree video, you can look around the shop and learn more about many of the artifacts that adorn its walls. 

Oga’s Cantina is where people gather in Black Spire Outpost to share their stories with one another. In this 360-degree video, you can look around the vibrant watering hole and listen to the music provided by DJ R-3X (I’m pretty sure you’ll recognize the tune he’s playing). You may want to watch this while using a pair of earphones – it sure sounds like there are some whispers from a galaxy far, far away I’m detecting in there. After all, you never know what you may overhear in Oga’s Cantina …

Check back with us tomorrow here at the Disney Parks Blog, as we will have more coverage of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge one-year anniversary at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

And in the latest “Stories from the Parks” series, we shared #DisneyCreators experiences from guests and friends enjoying the epic adventures at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that included tie-dye fashions from Anabelle Blum and family.   

As you can see in our step-by-step instructional video above, transforming an ordinary T-shirt into a beautiful Mickey tie-dye shirt with splashes of color is easy and fun.  And it begins with Mickey ears and tracing.

After tracing, the art of tie-dying continues by tying the shirt – soaking and adding dye. Then, wrap and wait 24 hours. Here’s a look at all of the steps to follow:

And just like that, your creative Mickey tie-dye shirt is ready!

Hope you’re ready for another episode of “The Rohdes, Less Traveled.”  In this episode, we explore Swahili architecture and how it works as a storytelling medium at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. 

Of course, we had to set up each interview somewhere at our house or in the yard … thousands of miles away from Kenya or Orlando. Luckily, we found a spot that was pretty convincing. 

Stay tuned for more #DisneyMagicMoments like this as we continue “The Rohdes, Less Traveled” series.
