Hmm… a bunch of people eating Andy’s leftover bbq in a cardboard box. Are we homeless in this timeline?
I agree the western town playset look that was in the original concept art looked better for sure, but I dont hate this design, really just waiting to see how the food is. And also CarsLand is just so good throughout, probably my fave single IP themed lands built and Ive never seen CarsRather than using a carboard box as a design inspiration it might have been nicer to have used a western town play set... Lincoln Logs...almost anything... Or just do a fully themed Pizza Planet. This looks cheap and I know it wasn't, but I guess they feel it matches the land...which is a pretty low bar. For contrast look what they did with Flo's V8 Cafe in California... This restaurant should have been at least this nice.View attachment 692803
In person it is even better than it looks in pictures... They got it completely right. It is a shame they have not been able to bring that same sense of scale, wonder, and imaginative whimsy to any of the new additions at WDWI agree the western town playset look that was in the original concept art looked better for sure, but I dont hate this design, really just waiting to see how the food is.

I think Pandora is spectacular. And Batuu is a visual marvel; it’s just devoid of life.In person it is even better than it looks in pictures... They got it completely right.

I’m not the target audience, but I think they’re just going for a different version of fun. There’s basically an entirely separate market that gets giddy over the kind of slavish devotion to source material that makes Galaxy’s Edge what it is. Philosophically, being built to BE Star Wars is just fundamentally different from building something to be a park filled with eclectic amusement.Batuu seems to be the worst offender to me... Completely joyless. Yes it is big and they did a great job with the rocks, but it just doesn't feel fun...
We took larger boxes, opened both ends, got inside and rolled them like tank tracks. Fond memories of playing chicken with cousins to see who was going to roll over who lolI dunno... the drawing itself is... fine... I think my issue is that it just looks cheep (especially for Disney). It looks like a big vinyl sticker put on a flat surface. It feels like they made the minimum effort to try and convey what they want to convey. My kids have built enough with discarded cardboard boxes that I feel like if that's what they are going for, there should at least be some dimensionality. Maybe some crudely cut out "windows" or an awning that looks like a piece of cardboard duck taped to the front of the building held up with string or pencils... I dunno, I guess I'll just need to wait until when it's all done to see what (if anything else) is added...

Agreed on both, honestly. Many of us were critical of Rat during construction but in person, for me, it works. It makes my day at Epcot better.The addition to France in Epcot is very well done. So much fun, so many details. Plus a great ride.
***edited because I reused the word "spectacular".
I think Batuu looks amazing. Yes, it feels desolate, but that's the feel I get from the movies/shows, so I think they inadvertently got that part right.
Hey, that looks alright! We will see how it tastes.Roundup Rodeo BBQ set to open March 23rd -

Yes, looks to be family style.My question is if it's family style. It's hard to say based on the part about the sides.
