Buckle up for one of the longest photo reports in recent memory as Disney has been making no shortage of new merchandise available as the holiday season grows ever closer. While Halloween and Autumn celebrations are underway, in about a month’s time, the Christmas season officially kicks off at Disney World and the store shelves will be ready for it.
Star Wars Galactic Outpost is Finally Themed
The Star Wars Galactic Outpost shop, formerly D Street, now shares no resemblance with the former store.
Mao’s rules from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, can now be found in the ceiling above, along with a number of insignia flags.
Guests can now find a Build Your Own Lightsaber location here as well.
One of those new-fangled digital pressed penny machines can be found here as well.
What makes them limited edition???

Progress on Projects
