Agreed, but I'm more partial to the green with tequila.This. I was expecting like a vanilla flavor just blue. The alcohol helps though.

Allow me to introduce you to the ground.
Well, it is like they forgot almost everything they knew about theme park design when doing TSL at DHS. Starting with indoor locations and shade.Excited for this to open. Slight side note- but a lot of people have mentioned, and I agree, that the layout for TSL is odd- just one linear path without much to explore and little guest-accessible land for such a large footprint. I know originally the layout for SLinky was different, but were there earlier drafts of the land where it was configured differently? It is such an odd layout, compared to a land like Adventureland or Pandora, which invites exploration. I wonder why it is designed so differently? The almighty dollar?

They relocated Kathy Magnum to Florida when the project was starting. They had architects based in Florida work on it. Umbrellas though are the sort of thing Ops will buy after the land opens…I chalk that up to a California based design team that doesn't spend much time in Florida.
Disneyland, their home park, is all outdoor, uncovered switchbacks and patios with partial shade. It's not very pleasant in the heat.
The land is incredibly hot and has nearly no where to sit, on top of that they’re only expanding the Woodys lunchbox area by a very small amountThey relocated Kathy Magnum to Florida when the project was starting.

Guessing they don't want anything TS to be seen from SWGE. SDD is already viewable from smugglers run queue.Not including the toy soldier parachute drop ride within one of the SDD helices was a sin.
At least Andy is kind enough to build shade structures for us. It only required 3 melted toys before he sprang into action.
Easy ways to get around that. There should have been a tree-covered berm around TSL. That view of a giant, green backstage building from SDD after the second launch is awful.Guessing they don't want anything TS to be seen from SWGE. SDD is already viewable from smugglers run queue.
If you're in DHS in the morning, I recommend trying the breakfast bowl at Woody's Lunch Box and the breakfast Ronto Wrap in GE. They are some of the best stuff I've had at the parks, imo.I haven't been to the parks since either land opened, but doesn't Galaxy's Edge have pretty decent food? All I hear is that I need to try the ronto wraps. Doesn't Toy Storyland only have glorified poptarts? I could understand why they'd prioritize getting more food options into TSL. Though I do agree, both lands would benefit from having more food options, especially sit down style.

Not a single bench in basically the whole land. That also goes for a lot of WDW now. Benches are scarce.
It’s senior year in high school. Andy is on a voyage of self discovery and gets to taking care of his toys only sporadically. Basically, whenever there’s a half day at school.Long lines? No shade? No benches? Hardly any food? Melting toys?
Are we sure this isn't Sid's backyard?
I was going to respond with there are benches but I didn’t think that many. Thank you for pointing them out!
Yes, MK is bench lite. Most likely too crowded for benches.I was going to respond with there are benches but I didn’t think that many. Thank you for pointing them out!
Generally speaking, the benches have dropped off and i can’t figure out why. Its not because they dont have space. I can show pictures from the 70’s and 80’s where there were benches in the background of every picture. Someone enlighten me on why there are so fewer today?
