Remember too that “slow times” were also a thing Post 9/11 when tourism tanked. Every year since more and more people attend. The slow time is basically now almost never.

They're back now. And it was out of an abundance of sensitivity to guests (actually like myself) who were at the resorts when this happened. Imagine you were at the GF and witnessed this, and found it in you to go to the parks the next day. Removing them temporarily - which they did, because...

I tried to talk the family into extending/changing our dates to hit this. Last week was fought to be there but woof. That'll be a on site nightmare of entitlement.

I was there last week and it was tour groups and crowds galore.

They did not own SW (or Marvel I believe) when they made this deal. Also, the movies had actual timelines for release. That being said, I'll ride these rides - they sound cool regardless of theming. They could easily change it too in the future to something more generic/Jungle Book/Zootopia if...

A 2 second Google search would have given you multiple, but here's the first one that came up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/06/17/we-saved-the-alligators-from-extinction-then-moved-into-their-territory/

Without seeing the other version, I can't say for sure. But he was certainly awesome. Watching it for a second time with the kids on the big screen, and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Maybe they'll keep it this way - I wouldn't mind!
