I’ve been wanting to share a little about myself so it is nice to formally meet you! If you’ve seen my Lego builds, it should be no surprise that I’m a Disney Parks fan and I wanted to provide a bit of background behind the person building these deep cuts and more. What is your favorite Disney Resort that you have visited?

Rise of the Resistance | AT-AT Hangar My follow-up post to my Reel so you can see the details at your own pace! Here is my latest build, the AT-AT Hangar from Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios! This is one of my favorite ride moments so was a lot of fun to recreate in Lego. ✨ I first rode ROTR December 2019 right after it opened in WDW (I am a SoCal local and could’ve waited a month later at DL, but what’s the fun in that?) and actually planned the whole trip around its opening. ✨ I had done all the research on how to get a boarding group and left our hotel at 4am to be scanned into DHS before 6am to be on our phone to grab a boarding group. 😮‍💨 Needless to say we got one and the rest was history. ✨ Back to the build, this is a 24x48 vignette which is normally pretty large for me, but it feels small because the AT-AT (designed by @edge_of_bricks ) takes up so much space. It splits into 3 sections for easy transportation to and from various events I hope to display it at in 2026. ✨ The walls are repeating, but uses some neat techniques and jumper plates and brackets to offset everything accordingly. ❓ Which side do you prefer? My first time I got the AT-AT side which usually would be less popular, but it does get to be the first into most rooms which gives that initial wow factor.

What I’d give to relive my first time on Rise of the Resistance. 🥹 This is my recreation of the AT-AT Hangar from Rise of the Resistance out of Lego! 💫 It is a 24x48 vignette featuring the prisoner transport as it makes its escape from a Star Destroyer with the help of Finn and the Resistance. 💫 This epic scene is one to be seen to be believed and the sheer scale is something I tried to create with my build making sure the wall was taller than the AT-AT. 💫 The First Order AT-AT is designed by @edge_of_bricks . I build other attractions out of Lego so if you’re a fan of seeing iconic (and some not so iconic) scenes recreated like this one, check out my profile for more and let me know what you would like to see be made next!

Fantasyland Dark Rides | Disneyland My theme for this year’s Disney @habitatchallenge was a tribute to the three original Fantasyland dark rides that opened with the original Disneyland in 1955! Which is your favorite (ride and/or build)⁉️ Each attraction was meant to embody a different mood found in Disney films: Peter Pan’s Flight captured the wonder, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride the zaniness, and Snow White’s Scary Adventures the scary parts. Thank you to @dontbrickmedown for hosting this year’s challenge and to all of the participants who entered a build! I loved seeing all of them and this is one of my favorite times of the year in the Lego community! 💫 Finally a little plug, if you want to see and/or build more Disney scenes throughout the year, go check out @eticket_builders ! We will be hosting a Fantasyland challenge in June and hope to see you there!

Snow White’s Scary Adventures | Fantasyland The last dark ride of Fantasyland for this year’s Disney @habitatchallenge hosted by @dontbrickmedown is Snow White’s Scary Adventures! Here, Snow White is walking up the staircase at the beginning of the ride. When they changed it to Enchanted Wish, she’s now dancing with the dwarves, but this made for a more obvious habitat in my mind (love corner builds!). Follow to see all three dark ride habitats together tomorrow and @habitatchallenge for other Disney builds by a wonderful group of builders! 💫

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride | Fantasyland Next up for the Disney @habitatchallenge hosted by @dontbrickmedown , we have Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! This is a very fun and unique ride that I’m glad still exists (I say that just because in modern Disney Parks, it’s amazing it hasn’t been replaced by a modern IP and I definitely am not wishing that upon this). Today’s shoutout goes to @spectralbricks for the Mr. Toad minifig inspiration. He has an amazing Mr. Toad build planned for @eticket_builders ‘s Fantasyland challenge in June, so be sure to check us out there for Disney content year round (a plug for a challenge within a challenge)! Follow along for the last dark ride tomorrow and @habitatchallenge for more Disney builds! 💫

Peter Pan’s Flight | Fantasyland For this year’s Disney @habitatchallenge hosted by @dontbrickmedown , I am doing the original Fantasyland dark rides of Disneyland! First up is the iconic Peter Pan’s Flight! This was my favorite ride growing up and is still one I love to experience (when the line hopefully isn’t too long). Depicted in habitat form, this shows Peter Pan steering the Jolly Roger back to London with Wendy, John, and Michael (and an appearance by Tinker Bell)! Special shoutout to @bricksminifigsanaheim for having a ship wheel in stock. 🫶 Follow along to see the other two dark rides tomorrow and Saturday and @habitatchallenge for all of the other Disney entries! It will be a magical next few days! 💫

Here’s an awesome mod by @firefabrik of 77256 Time Machine from Back to the Future aka the Speed Champions Delorean! The set is already considered nearly perfect by most people, but this upgrade takes it to the next level! ⚡️ Smooth Hood - rebuilt hood to be smooth! ⚡️ Gullwing Doors - too iconic to not have! ⚡️ Flight Mode - instead of swapping parts, this upgrade adds Technic so the wheels can flip down (and back up). ⚡️ 1.21 Gigawatts - inspired by the larger Icons Delorean, a light brick is added to light up the flux capacitor. Check out @firefabrik ‘s Rebrickable if you want to buy the instructions to upgrade yours and my regular(-ish) scheduled content will return soon with some more MOCs!

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Queue | Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge I had been meaning to build the Millennium Falcon Lounge to recreate the queue of Smuggler’s Run, but then I came upon fellow builder @kyle.jannin ‘s and since it was already perfect in my opinion and for the most part how I think I would’ve built it, I just bought the instructions for it and called it a day (support fellow builders!). 💫 As with all of my Lego Galaxy’s Edge builds, it is about the tourist aspect, so here are a variety of guests waiting to board and a cast member! From sitting at the hologame table to taking photos inside, this is one of the most immersive queues in my opinion. 💫 I didn’t have a lot of the stickers that have come with various Millennium Falcon sets, but it still looks good even without them! 💫 I think the only change I made was removing the chair by the console. 💫 The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming to Smuggler’s Run May 22! I’m excited to finally see new missions! It is a great display piece (with even a few play features) and if you’re interested in building it yourself, you can find it over on @kyle.jannin ‘s Rebrickable! Happy May the 4th and I’ll see you in the next build! 💫

I got the Mysterious Ronin, but not because I’m a Ninjago fan or scalper…⬇️ 🔑 The moment I saw the Mysterious Ronin minifig in the new Lego Collectible Minifigure (CMF) Series 29, I knew exactly who I wanted to make with it…Roxas from Kingdom Hearts! 🔑 It’s not completely accurate with the mask, but the hair and hood combo outweighs it for me. 🔑 The torso and legs is Kylo Ren’s Episode 7 and the head is Luke Skywalker’s. 🔑 The Oathkeeper and Oblivion is fairly simple to make as well with bars, the Inquisitor handle, and binoculars. 🔑 Shoutout to the Barnes and Noble that was fully stocked with CMF and hadn’t been ravaged yet by scalpers. 🤩

Restrooms Part 1 | Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge 💫 Between the Milk Stand and Droid Depot is 1 of 2 restrooms in Galaxy’s Edge. 💫 I chose this section to recreate out of Lego for the ancient lettering above the restrooms as I had been wanting to try out this technique so often seen in other Batuu builds. 💫 When finished and if all goes according to plan, it will be a bustling area of Batuu and will display nicely. 💫 This section is 20x20 plus an 8x20 for the moisture vaporator maypole looking thing. 💫 MISSING: you may notice the moisture vaporator in question is missing along with the bridge connecting it to Droid Depot. The wires will also have more intentionality to them. 💫 They’re not included in this progress photo so that you can see Darth Vader and his Imperial stormtroopers walking back to the TIE Echelon after interrogating off world travelers on the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker. Follow along for more updates and happy May the 4th weekend!

Lego Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Build Update Part 1 I haven’t done a build series in a while and wanted to bring you along to a short trip to Disneyland (as one does in SoCal) as I talk about my design process! Every year I take on at least one large Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge build with last year bringing us the arms shop and First Order Cargo / TIE Echelon and this year, we continue moving along that path to the restroom area between Droid Depot and the Milk Stand. A bustling little outdoor area with a lot of character, I’m excited to showcase the first section I built. By the end (hopefully), it will be the exterior of two buildings connected with a bridge, droids and a place for guests to relax in between their journeys. Follow along to see the build come together and I will see you in the next video! Batuu builds featured: @baron_von_brick @salamanderbricks @space_jockey_
