Review: "Walt Life," Disney Magic on Your Doorstep!

Hey Howdy Hey, Disney Fans!!! Let's face it, as adults, going to the mailbox isn't very fun. Bills. Junk advertisements. Random catalog. (Who still bothers to order from catalogs?) More bills. Coupons for the pizza place that you heard had a roach issue. Even more bills. Womp-womp. Pretty depressing. Well, what if I told you that once a month, going to your mailbox could bring all the magic and excitement of walking into World of Disney at Disney Springs? It could bring the tastes of Main Street USA, or the comforts of a Walt Disney World Resort? I bet you just got a whole lot more excited about that trip to mailbox, huh?

Welcome to the latest edition of Ears the News Brought to you by our friends at WDWMagic.com . Disney has revealed some new concept art and a name for the village in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Black Spire Outpost.
