The Indy ride in Anaheim is one of my favorites. I think a land, or a mini-land anyway would be great fun. One thing I love about the Anaheim ride is that it tells it's own adventure, instead of being a "ride the movie" ride, which always rings more false to me.

I doubt it. Most casual fans aren't really familiar with specific settings to the level that it forms an important part of their conception of Star Wars. I say this as an active member of the 501st and the Rebel Legion. Most casuals are most familiars with the CHARACTERS. They know Darth...

You hit on a point that's been in the back on my mind. Now don't get me wrong, I really like the Wizarding World sections. Well done, IMO. But Harry Potter is an IP very dependent on PLACE. If we're going to experience the Wizarding World, we want to see those places... Hogwarts, Hogsmeade...

I still wish there were a way to use Star Tours as a way (not the only way) to go from the Non-Star Wars part of the park, to Star Wars land. Just an exit tunnel would be good enough.

Yeah... it's a relatively cheap and effective way to create the impression of a different place. And let's face it, Star Wars loves them some rocky planets too. :)

I feel your pain. I think this summer we probably took out last trip there until this is all done. My daughter is 13 now, and she'll be in college by the time this is done. I hope she will enjoy one last trip to Disney with us when this all gets done, even if just to indulge her ole man the...

Me, that's who. Carrie Fisher is awesome and Leia is even more awesome. I certainly want to see Vader, and we'll probably see Maul, but I'd bet money we don't see Anakin. At least I hope not. :) We need the dorids, Chewie, Han, Luke, and the newbies too... Rey, Poe and Finn. Don't foget the...

I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I'm completely FINE with a new planet. Especially if it were going to be Tatooine. Yeah, I want someplace with more shade, thanks. ;)

Personally, I'd love the Dinosaur/Indy-type ride system for that. Sorta the same deal as how in Star Tours you wind up in the middle of a space battle, or pod race (or whatever), you find yourself surrounded on all sides by a battle.... animatronic stormies, Kylo Ren, Good guys... I'd love it.

Thanks for laying that out. I'll give my input. I love Disney, pretty much all of it, and I'm a 50-year-old guy. But I disagree on Star Wars not fitting Disney, and here's why: Star Wars, ultimately, is myth. Sure, it's set in space, but it has more in common wait fairy tales, than with...

Hey, I'll chime in too. If I were you, I'd avoid the value resorts. They are great in their own right, but they stuffed to the bring, overflowing with kids. Very loud kids. That's a not a terrible thing.... it is Disney after all, but it does remove the relaxation factor of the resort itself...

I did recently. I booked a regular concierge room at the GF, checked in online and we got a lovely theme park view room. Very nice surprise!

I think he referring to the fact that they said they were theme parks, as opposed to expansions of existing theme parks.

That would be perfect, IMO.

For me, neither one feels like you're actually entering the castle you see from a distance, though I think the Hogwart's method works a bit better. I think both look pretty good, though obviously Hogwarts is much bigger than Beast's castle.
