Wasn't that all at the request of Rowling? I don't think Universal would've done that on their own and I'm not expecting Disney to either.

It would be a nice detail though.

Yes, almost every annoying (but important) detail of Wizarding World was at the request of Rowling, partly why Disney declined Rowling, or rather why Rowling chose not to be with Disney. I spoke with a Universal Team Member for about 20 minutes about the history of the land. The reasons for the lack of benches and the narrow and very small stores. I really enjoy the Harry Potter films, and appreciate the attention to detail, but me personally, I would've preferred for the stores to be a little wider so you aren't so crammed.

That great detail extends to the TMs working there. I once had to explain what the Internet was, lol.

It would be interesting if Disney chose not to serve any soda in Pandora same for Star Wars Land. Although it was a pain when you want something other then Butterbeer (which literally is the best thing ever), that they don't serve anything but Water, Pumpkin Juice, Butterbeer and one other thing I think?

I don't recall of any particular food drink being mentioned in those movies. Butterbeer, chocolate whatnot were referenced all the time in Potter. So, I'm not sure the effort to come up with original nutriment would be worthwhile.

Disney almost killed Harrison Ford....


Harrison Ford could have been killed when he was crushed by a hydraulic door on the set of the Millennium Falcon spaceship while filming the most recent Star Wars film, a court has heard.

Ford was reprising his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in June 2014 when he was knocked to the ground and crushed beneath the heavy door of the Millennium Falcon while filming at Pinewood Studios in London.

The company responsible, Foodles Production (DISNEY OWNED PRODUCTION COMPANY), pleaded guilty to two breaches under health and safety legislation.

You should visit sometime, there are more benches in DA than the whole of the MK.

Huh?

First you claimed there were no benches in DA due to a Jo request so when I posted that there are more benches in DA than the whole of the Magic Kingdom then you said something about Hogsmeade. Those are two different lands in two different parks so I am the one saying "Huh?". About as much sense as asking about the new frozen ride in the MK when everyone knows it is in EPCoT.

Hope that is clear enough for you and there are benches in Hogsmeade as well. Visit sometime and take a look for yourself
