From a galaxy far, far away comes an epic new Star Wars Geeki Tiki, that is going to roll away with our hearts! Guests attending San Diego Comic Con will have the first chance to snag the new BB-8 Tiki Mug from Geeki Tiki/Beeline Creative.

BB-8 will make it’s Geeki Tiki debut at San Diego Comic Con Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 21. Beeline Creative will be located at Booth 2913-M, if you’ll be at the iconic comic con, and hope to roll home with this cutie. BB-8 is crafted from the high quality ceramic Geeki Tikis have become known for, and features raised relief details that bring the Astro-mech Droid we love to life.

It does say debut, so we are hoping that there is a possibility of this darling Droid drinkware being available after San Diego Comic Con. I’m crossing my fingers at least, because I am totally in love with this new tiki mug!

Stolen Galaxy's Edge Merchandise Being Sold Online

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland just opened itself up to all guests. On June 24th, guests of the Disneyland Resort could now visit Batuu with no reservation required. It seems like most are really enjoying the new and immersive land. With Savi’s Workshop, the Marketplace, and the Droid Depot anyone can take a piece of Galaxy’s edge home; that’s with the proper credits, of course. Some visitors to the land, unfortunately, are taking more than they should with no credits. It’s become apparent that some guests of Batuu are even selling some of these exclusive items in order to gain profit.

Oga’s Cantina is proving to be a very popular spot in Galaxy’s Edge. So much so, that their menus have been seen on eBay selling for about 40 dollars. Servers of the cantina are now collecting the menus soon after your order is placed to prevent theft. Even the cards that cast members hand out for your reservation party are going for sale as well. These cards, with the cantina logo on them, are supposed to be returned to the host as you enter. It seems not all make it back. When it comes to the libations at Oga’s, select serving glasses are starting to go missing as well.

Another popular missing item is the Batuuan flatware. The flatware is supposed to be used only within the land, specific eateries. These land-themed sporks along with Galaxy’s Edge maps have all been seen up for sale online.

What do you think about the thievery going on at Star War’s Galaxy’s Edge? Let us know in the comments!

Big Fire Mock ServicePublicityCityWalk — Big Fire Mock Service Publicity CityWalk

Universal Orlando’s newest original concept restaurant, Bigfire, is now officially open, adding a unique dining experience that draws modern inspiration from open-fire cooking and the nostalgia of long summer evenings at the lake to the incredible collection of restaurants at Universal CityWalk.

Bigfire’s unique theming is designed to make guests feel as though they have stepped into a lakeside summer house, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of relaxed evenings spent at the water’s edge, cooking and creating memories with friends and family. The two-story venue features natural design elements of mix and matched fabrics and seating, cast iron, twinkling lights, camp lanterns and more to complete the outdoor ambiance inside the restaurant. And guests can enjoy one of the most popular fireside treats– s’mores – which they can prepare themselves right at their table.

Specially created by Universal Orlando’s award-winning culinary team, Bigfire’s menu takes open-fire cooking, one of the earliest styles of preparing food, to a whole new level. At the heart of the venue is a custom wood fire grill where chefs prepare signature dishes inspired by the style of open-fire cooking – but with a significant and modern twist. Chefs thoughtfully match each dish with wood species that have been chosen based on the flavor they exude, resulting in delectable entrees, sides, and even cocktails, that all infuse these smoky spirits. From Cherrywood to Pecanwood, the pairings add bold, delicious flavors to create elevated American fare, including a signature bison burger, New York sirloin strip, freshwater trout and more.

Bigfire is open for dinner beginning at 4 p.m., and is located along the Universal CityWalk lagoon – offering incredible views of the destination.

Lion King Headband Takes A Walk On The Wild Side of Style

The new Lion King film debuts next month, and I’m working on my stylish roar! You can now tame your wild mane with the adorable new Lion King Headband. This plush headband from the Disney Parks is as soft as a lion’s fur and cute as a kitten.

This headband is the beautiful golden yellow of Simba from the original animated classic. His adorable lion ears sit atop the plush headband, and they look absolutely perfect. This super stretched headband is topped off with a little tiny tuft of fluff, just like the top of young Simba’s head. You can also use this for a spa night to hold back your hair for face masks, you know for those Hakuna Matata kinds of nights. It’s also a nice change of pace from the usual Minnie Ear headband styles. I hope we see more like this in the future, I bet a Marie one would be adorable!

This new headband can be found throughout the Disney Parks for $21.99, we spotted it in Animal Kingdom, and World of Disney in Disney Springs.

What do you think of this adorable new Lion King Headband inspired by young Simba?

Special thanks to the fabulous Julie for the absolutely adorable pictures!
