Boba Fett Cocktail – Since Disney has taken over the Star Wars franchise, it is only right that there have now been inclusions of Star Wars in the Disney World parks and resorts and Florida is one of the places where you can find some incredible rides in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Here you will find two rides the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. But another thing we have to discuss is, of course, the food and drinks options and Oga’s Cantina is the place to go.
The food is such an important part of any trip to Disney World. You have the themed restaurants, the ones you need to specifically book with your Disney dining, and let’s not forget the fabulous sweet treats.
But the drinks can often be the ones that you remember the most. Possibly because at Disney World you can enjoy incredible cocktails that you might not find anywhere in the world. Fact.

Variations to try
