New “Rebel Hangar” Lounge Coming to Star Wars Weekends

> Guests attending Star Wars Weekends will be able to find shelter and sustenance in the Rebel Hangar: A Star Wars Lounge Experience. Reports have been made that this location was once a known hangout of Rebel pilots, aliens and smugglers; with the immersive environment and stellar bites—I understand why!

This looks like a total *splurge* type of thing, but I bet Elyssa and I would do it. I mean, they have “Lightsaber Bites” (which are corn dogs). How could we say no?

Disney Replacing IT Cast Members with Foreign Workers

These types of situations are why I left my career as a software engineer. In 5 years, I worked in 4 different places, and saw these types of layoffs 3 times (and apparently, just missed another one.) I never was one of the ones laid off, but having to deal with the constant threat of it was enough to get me to move on from a career I did really enjoy.

SATURDAY SIX: The Six Most Unique Dining Experiences at Walt Disney World

*TouringPlans* blogger Derek Burgan shares 6 “unique” dining experiences at Disney World. It’s a little weird that he goes for a dinner show in his number one spot, but, otherwise, it’s a pretty interesting list. My one critique would be that it should have included some specific recommendations about the various restaurants (*e.g.*, go to Sanaa for a late lunch, go to Sci-Fi Dine-In when it’s offering Star Wars Character meals, etc…)

The BOATHOUSE Opens Today at Disney Springs

> The upscale menu focuses on seafood and steaks, upscale cocktails and a solid wine list. You can get anything from a casual basket of fried clams or big butterflied shrimp to “the best Angus beef burgers in town,” says Chef Bob. (And the fries are hand cut.)

With prices of some of the items on the menu, *upscale* definitely seems to be the word of the day. Depending on the various reviews, maybe Elyssa and I will give it a shot during one of our trips later this year.
