Must-Try Foods (and What to Skip) at Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

If you've longed to sip space milk and navigate the Millennium Falcon in a distant galaxy, your dreams can now be realized at home. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, located in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, offers thrilling rides, a lightsaber-building experience, a droid workshop, dining options, and a cantina, allowing fans to dine and drink like Han, Leia, and Kylo Ren.

Since their debut in 2019, the parks in Florida and California have begun to offer different food selections, making it essential to plan where to spend your space credits. Oga’s Cantina marks the first public bar in Disneyland’s 64-year history, welcoming guests of all ages unlike the Mos Eisley cantina, which doesn’t serve droids. (Be aware that seating is typically limited and often reserved for larger groups or those who need it.) Guests are allowed to order a maximum of two drinks each, so choose wisely. Also, remember to secure a reservation—60 days in advance for Disneyland and six months for Walt Disney World—as entry can be challenging without one.

True galactic cuisine is now a reality, but you’ll want something more appealing than Luke Skywalker’s Resistance MRE (which, by the way, is also available). Even without any traditional waiter-service restaurants in this remote outpost, there are plenty of tasty options to explore. Here’s what to seek out and what to avoid in Disney’s Star Wars themed areas.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Sour Sarlacc

Ronto Roasters offers the finest nonalcoholic drink in the land: their raspberry limeade, featuring a sweet-and-spicy mango twist that adds an extra zing. (The Walt Disney World version has been revamped into the Surly Sarlacc, a cocktail spiked with Ketel One.) If you're opting for a beverage other than Diet Coke in a thermal detonator, this is the one to choose.

Docking Bay 7

While it may cost more than other dining spots in the park, almost every dish at Galaxy's Edge's counter-service Dinogoy is exceptional. Notable dishes include the succulent Batuuan beef pot roast, so beloved that it has transitioned from a dinner-only option to lunchtime availability, and the saucy smoked kaadu pork ribs, which are slightly overshadowed by the delightful blueberry cornbread served alongside. The Felucian kefta and hummus garden spread, resembling an herb-rich baked falafel, is another great option. If you're after something lighter, don't miss the roasted Endorian chicken salad, a curry ranch-infused hidden gem topped with chicken shawarma, which could easily fit into a Sweetgreen menu, or the Endorian fried tip-yip from the kids' menu, served with macaroni and cheese and better than the adult version of Tip Yip.

Chocolate Popcorn with Crait Red Salt (Exclusive to Disneyland)

This sweet and crunchy blend is highly snackable, and the chocolate coating remains intact for days, making it a surprisingly perfect edible keepsake. It could benefit from a bit more of the salty topping—designed to mimic the striking red surface of planet Crait from The Last Jedi—but it remains a must-try treat, comparable to the famous popcorn flavors at Tokyo Disney Resort.

Batuu Bits

This futuristic pub mix is the perfect snack to enjoy with drinks at Oga's Cantina, especially since the bar has limited food options. Interestingly, it varies by location: California's Batuu Bits features a traditional Japanese snack mix with wasabi peas, seaweed chips, and various rice crackers, while Florida's version includes veggie chips paired with a fantastic chermoula dip. Both also include crunchy chocolate meringue pieces, a surprisingly harmonious flavor combination.

Black Spire Brew

Skip the hotel coffee to make way for this revitalizing beverage. The creation at Oga’s Cantina is a game-changer for travelers battling jet lag, offering a burst of energy to tackle an early day at Disney while soothing your senses. It blends cold brew with passionfruit, citrus, honey, and falernum, cleverly disguising the essential caffeine with delightful tiki-inspired flavors.

Ronto-less Wrap (Disneyland Only)

This new vegetarian choice is exclusive to Disneyland’s Ronto Roasters, potentially outshining its meat-filled counterpart. The plant-based Impossible sausage, reminiscent of merguez, is topped with slaw, jalapeno slices, and a Gochujang-based sauce, making it a perfect pita filling regardless of your meat preferences. It’s more robust than the original Ronto wrap, focusing on a bolder flavor profile rather than just pork. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying.

Jet Juice, Fuzzy Tauntaun, and Outer Rim

These three beverages top the list of alcoholic options at Oga’s Cantina. Each drink is pre-mixed and tends toward the sweeter side, but the Outer Rim—a fruity Patrón margarita with a black salt rim—is consistently well-balanced. The bourbon-based Jet Juice, served in a shot glass, offers a smooth sip with fruity and spicy liqueur notes. The Fuzzy Tauntaun, inspired by a Fuzzy Navel, is garnished with foam from buzz buttons, an herb that creates a delightful tingling sensation on your lips, reminiscent of Sichuan peppercorns, adding a playful touch to the experience.

IF YOU STILL HAVE AN APPETITE

Ronto Wrap

The Portuguese sausage sandwich from Ronto Roasters has gained a dedicated following, but its quality has declined since the park's debut. The Sichuan peppercorn sauce, in particular, has lost its essential kick. While it remains edible, the combination of wet slaw spilling from the soft pita makes a $13 soggy sandwich feel less worthwhile.

Blue and Green Milk

Though these plant milk-based tropical slushies aren’t exceptional, they’re not terrible either. Since their introduction, fans have debated which flavor reigns supreme, but a definitive winner hasn’t emerged. One option is to combine them for a half-and-half experience, or if you're in Florida, you can enhance your blue milk with a splash of rum.

Bloody Rancor

It’s tough to justify spending on a Bloody Mary with so many enticing space-themed cocktails available at Oga’s Cantina, but the Rancor bone-shaped meringue garnish nudges the Bloody Rancor into the “must-try” territory.

T-16 Skyhopper

The T-16 is delightful, but be warned: it’s essentially a blend of cream and vodka. Only choose this rich treat if you’re ready for a sugar crash during your theme park adventure.

Bantha Cookie

This vanilla sugar cookie, served on top of the $13 chilled blue milk at both Oga’s Cantina locations or available a la carte at Disney World, is aimed at kids but enjoyed by all ages. It features a layer of marshmallow krispies and is decorated with fondant shaped like a Bantha horn.

Bottled Water

The detonator-themed soda bottles at Batuu are all decent, but you'd be better off spending your money on a Dasani bottle that features the brand name in Aurebesh. For under $5, you get a stylish souvenir once you leave the parks.

ABSOLUTELY AVOID

Outpost Popcorn Mix

This sweet-and-spicy kettle mix from Kat Saka, reminiscent of Froot Loops, isn’t worth the steep $7, especially when Disney Parks serve some of the best popcorn available.

Nuna Turkey Jerky (Disney World Only)

This side dish, offered sweet or spicy at Ronto Roasters, is simply too tough to chew, rendering it nearly inedible.

Kyryll Pork Rinds

Disney deserves credit for its take on the iconic churros at Ronto Roasters, but these pork snacks would benefit from a saltier profile instead of the overly sweet cinnamon-sugar coating. The new Galma garlic puffed cheese chips also overdo it with the garlic flavor.

Mustafarian Cinnamon Roll

Unfortunately, this chocolate-filled pastry topped with Oreo crumbles resembles a lackluster hotel buffet item more than a treat from the galaxy's outer rim.

Oga’s Obsession

Not as enjoyable or tasty as boba, this petri dish filled with 'popping pearls' is essentially just a bunch of fruit-flavored sugary spheres. It might entertain kids, but it's far from a worthwhile treat for adults.
