Reminds me of the scene in "The Big Bang Theory" where Will Wheaton attends a Star Wars film:

That would be awesome if it ever came to fruition. Is it logistically possible? Is there enough room for park expansion? Parking?

Also distract them from remembering how much they spent on park admission just to stand in this enormous line.

@larryz - I don't think making a fifth gate dedicated to Star Wars is unrealistic in terms of the demand such a park would generate, assuming the movies going forward are quality and don't destroy what's left of the franchise. That said it's hard to imagine today's Disney building a new theme...

It will be immediately obvious that they made the land too small, with too few attractions. Star Wars deserves a full land comparable to "Futureworld" or "Tomorrowland". The lines just to enter the "land" will extend back to the park entrance.

The permits are to run electricity for his strobe light.

Wow was this during the Summer, or Christmas week? Admittedly my first trip to WDW was in 1992 - AFTER MGM Studios opened, which helped spread the crowds around. We also went during slower times (April/May). The lines were NOTHING like they are today, even without FPs. We employed the rope drop...

At the heart of this issue is a lack of faith that what Disney changes will be for the best. Very few people complain about Buzz Lightyear taking the place of "If You Had Wings". But people still talk about what Spaceship Earth, Imagination, Living Seas, etc USED to be. If we trusted the...

To build on this, Disney says a lot more by their actions than by their words. I don't really have a problem with anything he said (as much as I talk about how great Disney was in the past, I don't want the parks to be a museum either)... but I want to see ACTION. I'm glad Disney is now...

My son insists on turning on the TV with the "Must Dos" whenever we're in the room. Stacey doesn't get annoying at all, not even after 7 days. :rolleyes:

There is a running trail that goes from Saratoga Springs to Old Key West. It runs along the canal and Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. It's not super long (a mile or so) but if you run to the front of OKW and then back around Disney Springs you can get some decent mileage out of it. It's fun to run...

I wonder if Disney WANTS the pay extra services to be visible to increase demand for them. It's a whole different mentality today. A few years back you had EMH for resort guests, and you had private VIP tours that you probably never knew existed. But other than that, once you walked into a park...

It's a cop-out to say "Oh, well. People like to complain. That's why there's so much negativity on these boards." I've been on these boards for many years, and there's much more negativity lately. There's a reason for that - and it's not because our culture is becoming more negative. Disney has...

Many of the stores used to offer unique merchandise to that store (or just a few stores). The products they sold added to the theme of the area - goods sold in Frontierland had a more Western theme, Tomorrowland had a futuristic theme. You might have trouble finding the same t-shirt on Main...

The other piece of this that deserves a mention is that Disney built a huge legion of intensely loyal customers in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. That's because the vacations people took in these time periods was extraordinary. Speaking for myself, my family had DOZENS of awesome vacations in the...

We've cut our trips back from 3 trips a year to 1 trip every other year. I get some satisfaction that Disney gets a lot less money from me than they have in the past. It's also opened up our vacation schedule to some other experiences which have been great - so it's not entirely a bad thing. In...

The value I get from my WDW vacation has gone downhill. Rising prices coupled with shorter park hours, longer waits, less live entertainment, fewer functioning attractions, etc. means that I can't do as much with the same amount of time in the parks - and I'm paying more to be there. :(

I love the F&W festival and have gone for many years. But I'm also astonished at how drunk some people get. People, this is not a place to get hammered. First and foremost because it's a theme park and families are present. But also... it is a really, really expensive place to get drunk. I mean...

Many times guests don't know what they're missing. If they've never done the attraction before, they don't know that an effect is missing or not working properly. I say this all the time about the Yeti. EE is still a fun ride. If you were riding it for the first time you wouldn't know any...

Part of what I love about staying on property is that I don't have to worry about driving (and dealing with people who don't know how to drive). Letting Disney handle the transportation helps me relax. Hopefully you'll find the same thing! Congrats on booking your trip. I'm sure you'll have an...
