Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo Menu Update

In what quickly became one of the most controversial Disney menu changes in recent history, earlier this week, we reported that the names of the menu items at Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo had been changed to remove any original Star Wars-theming.

Since its opening, the menu at the land’s main quick-service eatery included names like Smoked Kaadu Ribs and Fried Endorian Tip-Yip, adding to the theme of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Overnight, all of those names were switched over to plainly state what each menu item was. For example, Fried Endorian Tip-Yip was simplified to “Fried Chicken”, the Shaak Roast became simply a “Beef Pot Roast”, and the Yobshrimp Noodle Salad was now a “Shrimp & Noodle Salad.” Even the Felucian Garden Spread was renamed to just a “Hummus Garden Spread”.

Now, it seems like the plot has thickened as the Star Wars-themed names have returned to online menus and digital menu boards alike.

If you’ll recall from the changes, items such as the Mustafarian Lava Roll were previously renamed to the Mustafarian Cinnamon Roll, while Tugg’s Morning Oats was renamed as Tugg’s Overnight Oats, and the Bright Suns Morning was renamed the Bright Suns Breakfast Platter. All have been returned to their original, themed names.

The desserts are the only items that have remained unchanged throughout all of the menu item name changes.

Despite menu descriptions and photos, it appears Disney wanted to make ordering easier for guests by removing the themed menu item names. This did come, however, at the cost of the in-depth immersion that was originally a part of the land’s mission. As of publishing time, the themed menu item names remain listed as-is for Docking Bay 7 at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge.

Themed Names on Menu Out At Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo In Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

Disney has changed the names of the menu items at Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo to remove the Star Wars-themed names in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Previously, names like Smoked Kaadu Ribs and Fried Endorian Tip-Yip graced the menu, adding to the theme of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

All of the main entrees, including kids meals, now have straightforward, non-themed names:

For example, the Shaak Roast is now simply a “Beef Pot Roast”, the Yobshrimp Noodle Salad is now a “Shrimp & Noodle Salad”, and the Felucian Garden Spread is now just the Hummus Garden Spread.

As with the adult menu, the Fried Endorian Tip-Yip is now listed as Fried Chicken under the Kids’ Meals section. The Taste of Takodana is now labeled “Veggie Dippers”.

The desserts and breakfast menu have retained their original, themed names, but they have simplified them somewhat, with Tugg’s Morning Oats now listed as Tugg’s Overnight Oats, the Bright Suns Morning now listed as the Bright Suns Breakfast Platter, and the Mustafarian Lava Roll now described as the Mustafarian Cinnamon Roll.

Here’s a look at the online menus:

Leaked Photos Inside New Rise of The Resistance Ride

With the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios getting ever closer, leaked shots from the attraction interior continue to surface. The latest leaked images show the interior of the Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship that will shuttle guests from the pre-show of the attraction to the next scene.

The Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship will act as a post-pre-show in the sense that this is where guests will walk in after the pre-show and be “transported” to a different location. Analogous to the elevators in the Haunted Mansion, the shuttle will “drop off” guests inside a different room within the attraction after turning 180 degrees via a turntable mechanism.

According to the attraction’s storyline, Poe Dameron will invite guests on a mission onboard his X-wing, but somewhere along the way, the shuttle will be intercepted by a First Order Star Destroyer and tractor beamed onto its hangar bay.

The interior of the shuttle, much like many forms of transportation, will have standing and sitting room while guests are transported.

The Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship has been on display at Walt Disney Presents for some time now along with the rest of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge models.

Sneak Peek of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Ride on GMA

December 5th can not get here sooner.

As anticipation grows for the opening of the Rise of the Resistance attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Disney continues to feed us tidbits of the attraction, and just this morning, a special sneak peek of the attraction aired on Good Morning America

When it opens, this harrowing adventure will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. You will join the Resistance and depart from Batuu in a transport ship to meet General Leia Organa at a secret rendezvous point. Along the way, however, you will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. The action then ramps up as you seek to escape the clutches of Kylo Ren and the First Order – with the help of some heroes of the Resistance.

Prior to the Aug. 29 grand opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Walt Disney Imagineering released additional details about what promises to be one of the most thrilling experiences ever created for a Disney theme park:

  • Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will bring guests face to face with some of their favorite Star Wars characters, including Resistance heroes Rey, Poe and Finn, as well as Kylo Ren and General Hux of the First Order.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering will combine multiple ride systems to tell the story of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. In one sequence, a new simulator experience will give the sensation to guests they are falling from space to crash land on Batuu.
  • During a portion of the experience, guests will race through a Star Destroyer in a trackless ride vehicle featuring an onboard droid that reacts to its surroundings.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be one of the most ambitious, advanced and immersive experiences ever undertaken by Walt Disney Imagineering. The attraction is also one of the largest Disney has ever created. Its massive show building is a world unto itself, housing two full-size AT-AT walkers and a Star Destroyer hangar bay – complete with a TIE fighter and a garrison of Stormtroopers – plus more thrills and surprises.
