And it really is an example if Disney resting on their laurels is it not? Seems like they let it go for way too long and the only real "improvement" was adding a third track to midway mania when they really just needed to improve everything else.
I'll be going there again coming up. There are some interesting areas I can get some cool pics and let the insiders tell us what they are.
Well, it will definitely make crowd levels and wait times worse, I'll give you that.
I find DHS more appealing than EPCOT. Nice and compact. Easy to get to the different areas. Parking will be a nightmare. Hopefully there will be lots of APH sneak reviews. I would be willing to pay fir the after hours parties to avoid the crowds.
Same here man. And amen on the AP previews! The Pandora one I went to was fantastic and I am really hoping they do the same for SW:GE. I've never actually gone to any of the Disney after hours parties but I did get to go to the Force Awakens premiere party at DHS and it was one of the best times I've had a Disney in a long time. The after hours parties, that they will undoubtedly have after SW:GE opens, will probably be the only way to really experience the land the way it's meant to be experienced for a long time, so no doubt I'll have to try it out. Can't wait!!!
I've run into days where that's the case. Epcot is a disaster right now but it's overshadowed by a bigger disaster. The problem is, the "solutions" to Epcot right now appear to be band aids which has been their approach for 20 years.
dont you think we should wait to see what all they announce and actually do before we criticize the end result?
To be fair, he did say that they appear to be bandaids, not that they will turn out to be.
Everything wasn't announced, but most of the things that were announced as well as the previous 20 years have been "questionable at best".
It's a fair appraisal.
New topic: Can any of our insiders (@JediMasterMatt, @marni1971, @articos, @Lee) share their hopes / worries / likes on the streetmosphere aspects of Galaxy's Edge? How to keep the illusion up when people want to stop you and take pictures all the time. In addition to the aliens / droids milling about, I'd like to believe there will be opportunities for dressed up drones (like the CG probe droids added to the streets of Mos Eisley in the special edition).
And while on the subject of things in the air, can we hope for anything flying overhead and landing on some of the rooftops - Any repurposed New Fantasyland dragons?
Right from the moment it opened, everyone recognized they under built this park. for a while they made up for it, Star tours, Muppets and Sunset Boulevard were good additions capacity wise, but the park grew in such awkward spurts. Then it pretty much languished for ten to 15 years. The fact it currently operates with such a small attraction roster is sad. It will be woefully under capacity once star wars opens. They will need to do some more additions ASAP after 2019. I don't know if Toy storyland will be enough to really put a dent into the crowds they are about to see.
All good points that express my fears as well. Even forgetting about costs, when the place is wall to wall people there won't be much they can even do with street performers without creating a bigger problem. Which is why they should have created multiple Star Wars lands across multiple WDW parks (or at the very least two separate lands in the same park but on opposite ends) to begin with. Crowd levels are going to be crazy insane for a long time without this.
