    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    Falcon will be more immersive/interactive than you are giving it credit for. Just remember that she's not always the most cooperative lady to keep running. Everyone on board should be kept busy enough. Of course at the end of the day, it's not like you can just completely go off the rails on...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is the correct range. Just like most "extreme" days at the Parks, is it better to be in the park that has better capacity or better crowd control? I know that busy is busy; but, all things being equal - a busy day in Disneyland would at least allow you to get more attractions done than...

    Summer Saturdays = Lowest Wait Times Of The Year

    Soft open for F! is the plan. It will depend how the rest of the week goes; but, so far - so good. We expect a full vlog on it from you on the impact to the Mansion (it should be good for multiple re-rides). If you don't mind a favor, can you swing through the Hub around Remember time after...

    Summer Saturdays = Lowest Wait Times Of The Year

    At least it wouldn't be choice between Original recipe or Under New Management... of course, anyway you slice it... it would just be just plain fowl. Punny stuff in this thread. All you local DLR types have fun this weekend at D23 and with F!. I got to see some art and photos of some of...

    Summer Saturdays = Lowest Wait Times Of The Year

    Girl, that's a great Freudian slip for trying to keep cool on a hot day. The Enchanted Tiki Grill might not be so bad... "I'll take a portion of Pierre and an extra Fritz leg please to go with my Dole Whip Float."

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    While I won't make it easy and just spill all the beans (we've still got a long way to go)... using something like the AT-AT discussion, take what is known and then ask why. People hear walker and visions of hot stomping on rebels action dance in their heads. Those of us that know a bit more...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The most surprising thing about the whole construction of these lands to me is that people still aren't asking the right questions. The walkers are just an example and if the context was better understood - the questions that get asked wouldn't need to be and entirely different questions would...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    Pandora is nice. I shared some of my thoughts on it buried somewhere on this board. I've never proclaimed it the pinnacle of design and as a matter of fact, I placed it on the level of Hogsmeade and not approaching Cars Land or Diagon Alley with the latter still the best Stateside example of...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    While I'm firmly in the "boat is still taking on water" mindset of the state of WDW (even if there is a flurry of new activity in the swamps), I want to be perfectly clear about one thing - SWL will not let the masses down. While there will always be those that fail to be impressed by anything...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Unfortunately, no. Rian's team's designs for VIII weren't locked in when SWL needed to be.

    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    Re: the topic of SWL's integration into both coasts - DL's should feel the most like it was designed to fit in the place it's going because it WAS designed to fit DL first and foremost. DHS is just tagging along for the ride and reaping the benefits of the design work done for DL. While the...

    DHS Aerial View

    Pandora is very, very nice. In my opinion for Disney, it's not quite as spectacular as Cars Land since it's lacking the huge panoramic vista of Ornament Valley that really transport you into a different world. The viewing angles are very tight in Pandora. What is on display is very...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    SWL on both coasts will be similar enough in quality to not matter much when they both open. The question will be how long WDW will pay to keep the streetmosphere interactive entertainment on the payroll? Even the non-CM portion (droids and such) will have a hit on the continued operational...

    Residents not so Happily Ever After all.

    Bingo. Really odd weather last week regarding the winds while I was there. When there was a breeze, it was coming out of the south and most often during HEA, there was NO breeze which lets the smoke and fallout just sit. It's no wonder it was raining down on the complex. What goes up has...

    Disneyland Planning Advice

    See below for my 2 cents: 1. When to go?: The great debate. If you choose to travel to Disneyland during "less busy" times (although, those days are few and far between) you run into the quandary of having way more refurbs and way less entertainment offerings (fireworks, parades, nighttime...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    Oh... and I almost forgot to add my usual message about DLR visits compared to WDW. Relax and don't over plan things. The real joy of Disneyland Resort is that you can treat it just the way you use to a visit to WDW many decades ago. Just let each day serve as an adventure and let the...

    Guide to DLR for WDW Veterans!

    Congratulations on your upcoming trip. That week is the last heavy full week of the summer season, so you should have the full entertainment offerings. Crowds will be high; but, manageable as it's that week that it usually starts tapering off. Usually, the following week is one of hidden...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    Well, product launches and figuring out the bugs after is something that Comcast/Universal has apparently learned from their gaming divisions where increasingly paid alpha/beta testing has become de rigueur. Unfortunately, the lack of softs is nothing more than greed centered around hitting a...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    Nah, the similarity is the math 3-1=2; but, in SW's case it's not the "other big ride" that got the axe - it was the small scale peaceful experience that didn't survive (thanks TDO). They are getting both big attractions and since the height requirements are going to be so low on both in SW...
