Its also how they use the space. The only "big warehouse" rooms that I notice are the start "tell them its a prisoner transfer" which is fine as we are essentially moving from the load station to the actual attraction. The other is the AT-AT room which works. The design does a fairly good job...

I'll take Old Man Luke and Kylo over Luke and Vader. Rey and Finn mean we get to have live actors record their stuff vs CGI de-aged monster versions of Luke, Tarkin, and Solo. The visual language and characters are pretty much the same and changing the era of the Star Wars wouldn't affect much...

Agreed. It is a souped up Ghost Galaxy. Same giant monster attacking us via screens as we go through a coaster in a star-lit warehouse.

Yep, and its one of the issues I have with the attraction. It feels like a Universal ride. Just like the other Guardians ride. Disney used to give us practical sets and gags, not just screens and more screens.

Yeah, if you have to asterisk a fact to make it factual, then that should speak for itself. DCA has 3 publicly available TS restaurants to offer. Carthay, Lamplight, Wine Country. There are also a variety of additional locations nearby in Downtown Disney, the nearby hotels, and Disneyland...

Knotts is about 15-20 minutes further than Disneyland for me. I live in Riverside. For me, I would never buy a Fast Lane at any park unless I was there for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. And even then its a maybe. I've never used a paid LL at Disney. Doubt I ever will, as standing for 45-75...

I am happy to hear that. Hope it continues when I revisit in 2-3 years. I let my pass go and grabbed a Knott's pass with parking for $200 out the door. The ride situation isn't as good as Disney to be sure. But they have entertainment. And dining. And neither are behind paywalls other...

Lightning Lane isn't an ongoing perk. And you don't need to purchase LL to get into any public-facing parts of the resort. Its not like I am prevented from riding Monsters Inc unless I get a LL. However, I literally will not be allowed to buy and consume food at the Magic Key Terrace without...

Not disputing that. Knotts gets away with a lot due to its clientele. Like a 2 minute and 30 second dispatch time for Ghostrider, my gawd! And a lack of vibe rides that Disney excels in. But Knotts also just has far better food options available for their guests. Disney pushes...

When I was there yesterday, Jaguar was running and Berry Tales was officially open, but down whenever we walked by.

Now if I could only get a same day reservation for any of the table service locations in the park.... That's my biggest issue as a guest, not rewarding exploration and discovery. When we see a nice place to eat and all are in the mood and want to enjoy this cool location, we are told...

I've never eaten there. I don't doubt its good, but the location is in an area that I never visit. Coco will (hopefully) give me a reason to walk beyond Mermiad/Midway Mania. That entire corner of the park is a dud for me, so I have zero attachment to anything over there. Especially if...

Imagine DCA with a show at the Hyperion, these new rides. and a properly ran Animation Building. So tired of having Animation Academy guests queue in the lobby because they don't want to have guests exit to the right as designed.

Everest wants to be thrilling but kept tripping over itself. The only thrilling moment is the view of from the Broken track moment, everything else is pretty mild, ruined with pacing, or broken. Matterhorn is still a better ride experience of a similar coaster. Cosmic is just Ghost Galaxy...

Space Mountain has teeth? I always found that the most boring of the Disney mountains. Its better now with the onboard audio and slightly better visuals, but the coaster itself is pretty tame, even for a family coaster.
