GET QUEUING... FOR STAR WARS: GALAXY'S EDGE<br />
Disney splashed a sum that was out of this galaxy to land the Star<br />
Wars franchise, and continues to invest heavily in it. Before the finale<br />
to the original series of movies drops in December, Star Wars fans<br />
have long anticipated the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, a<br />
14-acre Star Wars land added to both Disneyland in California (open<br />
now) and Disney <strong>World</strong> in Florida (opening in the fall), both of which<br />
reportedly cost a cool $1 billion to build. Rides include Millennium<br />
Falcon: Smugglers Run, which puts riders at the control of Han Solo's<br />
legendary ship, and the forthcoming Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance,<br />
an interactive battle against the First Order. May the force be with you.<br />
ALL ABOARD... BRITAIN'S FIRST NEW SLEEPER TRAIN IN 35 YEARS<br />
With the idea to offer a hotel on wheels, the new Caledonian Sleeper<br />
service, which hits the tracks from London to Edinburgh and Glasgow,<br />
is the first time you can spend the night in a double bed on a UK railway.<br />
Departing London a little before midnight, your pyjama-clad clan can<br />
bed down in an en-suite Caledonian Double and wake in Scotland to<br />
Highland porridge with honey for breakfast. Adventure awaits.<br />
GO WILD... WITH BEAR GRYLLS<br />
Before The Bear Grylls Survival Academy opens on Ras Al Khaimah's<br />
Jebel Jais next year, you'll have to travel to the UK or US to partake of<br />
his exhilarating adventure courses, designed for fathers and sons, and<br />
mothers and daughters alike. The Primal Survival Family Adventure<br />
teaches myriad survival skills as you cross testing terrain for 24hrs. This<br />
is what happens when you call a child Bear.<br />
