● Black Spire Outfitters – Look the part of the Resistance with items from this outpost in Galaxy’s Edge. You won’t find Disney-branded apparel here; instead you can choose traditional attire the locals wear.
● Creature Stall – If you want to bring home a little creature from Galaxy’s Edge, stop by this outpost. Take a look at the animatronic Loth Cat in the entrance and continue browsing other creatures ready to be adopted.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Dining
● Oga’s Cantina – Reservations are required to enter Oga’s Cantina, a family-friendly lounge with out-of-this-world drinks. Choose between non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks (two drink maximum) and enjoy your libations while listening to the tunes of DJ R-3X.
● Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo – Tucked in a hangar bay, you can find this dining spot where Chef Cookie Tuggs dishes up intergalactic bites. It offers both breakfast and lunch/dinner menus, so you can choose between items such as Tuggs’ Morning Oats, Braised Shaak Roast (beef pot roast), Felucian Garden Spread (vegetarian loaf) and Fried Endorian Tip-Yip (chicken).
● Ronto Roasters – Enjoy meats grilled to perfection on an old pod racing engine. Here you’ll find wraps, jerky and non-alcoholic beverages.
● Milk Stand – Get a cold, refreshing glass of Blue or Green Milk, which are non-dairy drinks served frozen. While it’s hard to pinpoint the exact flavors, Green Milk is described as having a more floral taste, while Blue Milk is more fruity. You’ll have to try each to see which one you like best!
● Kat Saka’s Kettle – Popcorn is always popular at Walt Disney World, and this version is a delightful mix of sweet and savory.
