Guessing what our third or fourth most urgent question might be after setting down on a new planet, once we fully inquire about spacesuits and terrain?
"What's the food like?" is what we'll more likely ask. We want to know if this particular planet appeals to the palate and if the vibe of the local vittles is on point.
Reaching Disneyland Resort is much easier than exiting our earthly stratosphere, of course: You'll only need to set your space saucer down in Anaheim, where "Season of the Force" is currently summoning Jedi eager to celebrate all things "Star Wars."

May 4, or May the Fourth, is the reason behind the annual happening, which includes light shows, special merchandise, and, yes, treats themed to the world of droids, Wookiees, and Force-filled flavor.
The galactic goodies are live on the Season of the Force Foodie Guide, with some just-revealed entries attracting our laser-like focus.
The Shaaken Beef with Tatooine Bounty with peppers, onions, and crispy kale is one newly announced offering; you'll find it at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Galaxy's Edge from May 4 through Aug. 22, 2024 (and, yep, mobile ordering is available).
The Scene
Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.
Check out the upcoming eats on this page, which also spotlights new novelties like The Grinning Loth-cat Souvenir Mug, which "(i)ncludes guava coconut milk with basil crystals." This feline find is available at Oga's Cantina but there are more "Star Wars"-inspired buys and bites to enjoy.
Just check the dates and availability before turning your Tauntaun in the direction of Disneyland Resort.
And if you're eager to know what Season of the Force foods are taking flight before May 4? There's a foodie guide for that inquiry, too.
