This is purely anecdotal, but I had never paid any attention to DAS use prior to my trip this past December (the week prior to Christmas). But I was really surprised how many people were accessing LL queues during both MVMCP and Jollywood Nights - so much so that there were significant standby...

Can confirm she's a mediocre drummer.

"From a haulcraft?!"

That certainly seems to track with what's happened thus far. Hard to see how any advanced booking scheme wouldn't just fall back to the complaints about FP+.

I can understand the 9th and 16th (since they are Saturdays) but the 18th and 19th seem strange (especially the 19th, which is a party day). Anything unusual going on those days?

Kirk unit. V'ger awaits the information.

It's also the "handler required" model, which I have zero interest in. I don't want or need a tour guide, or to be whisked around backstage.

I'm absolutely ready to give it a chance! I truly hope it's a great ride and a worthy successor to Splash. But Disney hasn't really done themselves anything favors in disabusing the skeptics of their worst fears. So until then, let the comedy continue. ;)

Wait - an exciting and meaningful storyline that actually ties into the movie? Why would anyone want that?! Clearly what people want is an in-depth exploration of co-op food production techniques and a search for a rusty trumpet. I'm personally looking forward to the unexpected conflict...

A buddy at work has a December trip planned (husband, wife, 16 year old) and we were just chatting about this event. He already had a HS planned for the day of one of the events so he went ahead and bought a party ticket with the reasoning that worst case (hopefully!) it can act as just an...

Agreed - this all seems terribly vague. In true modern Disney fashion, the most detail we've gotten was a ton of useless information about the backgrounds of the people in charge of planning it.

I'm curious if some of these deals may cannibalize holiday '23 bookings? I haven't done any deal comparisons for what's available Nov-Dec '23 and what's been popping up for '24, but would be interested to see if there is a spike in rebookings.

A high volume C ticket (like the rumored cut "Bantha" transport") is definitely needed. But they could fix a ton of problems by simply building the sit down restaurant/show, and actually having characters and droids wandering around. As for what they should really do...expand the land and...

Yes. Exactly this. Immediate entry ILL with variable, demand based pricing for all attractions. Clear, concise, and far simpler than any other ridiculous permutation they keep attempting. Just pull the band-aid already.
