Are they burying an empty showbuilding or anything like that in the berm? Doesn't seem like they are based on aerials and it seems to me that it would be a huge undertaking to dig up the berm and add an attraction once SW:GE and Micky are up and running since that area you are talking about would be in the middle of guest areas.

Me sir thinks that’s good
No buried building. It would only need a construction wall. They’ve created an operationally challenging island of a large backstage area. Middle of a guest area but with plenty of room. And with all of Pixar Place as a staging area.
The space is large enough to take a second battle ride sized attraction.

Might it have been wiser to put Battle Escape there and left the current space open?
Maybe they’ll move it in between moving Star Tours and Small World.

Tagging @marni1971. I've not been following the SW hotel closely, but I did read the most current thread and nothing has been mentioned about a possible cancellation. Just that there is no new information lately.
Unless this is some sort of weird active voice thing where in your opinion there are new rumors from insiders saying that it is on the bubble. Sorry, not exactly sure how grammatical mulligans work.

In fairness, i think the penny has dropped now and they have realised that investment is needed to enhance the parks they already have in order to improve guest satisfaction and attempt to reduce wait times. It is frustrating that this should have happened years ago, but at least it is happening now.
Perhaps when they have finished the current phase of improvements they may have something more significant in mind for Star Wars. It would make sense for them to have the existing parks in good working order before embarking on a multi year theme park build.

Nothing new.
Do you know if DVC is involved with the Star Wars Hotel? Given the increase in prices DVC charges they have the money to build the entire hotel.

Well, not THAT big. Unless you are talking about the actual battle RIDE portion and leaving out the First Order hangar.
Yes, that big. I’m not going off photos.

Wow! Well, it must be a pretty long skinny version of the same amount of space. They've got to leave room for TSMM exit and backstage access.

Wrong thread. Not even the right park. But I can't really blame you since everyone else is way off topic too.

I know it's further thread drift...
Does Pandora have "quite a bit"? I remember trying to look up what there was and couldn't find much info. Perhaps they are a little too hidden. The only interactive stuff we learned about/found:
1. The tickler plant at the entrance that blows out mist when you touch it
2. the drums when played cause the rocks to light up
3. in the water feature, there are "animals" that spit out water in response to movement
Perhaps there is more -- surely there is -- but I was generally disappointed in the quantity of interactive stuff, as I though it would be ubiquitous. Perhaps it is too well hidden. But I haven't even been able to find articles online either and with Disney stuff always gets out and gets reported. And they didn't have the "path that lights up when you walk on it" that was teased and expected.

I thought there were going to be a lot of interactive things attached to wearing the MagicBand.

Excluding Rainforest, it’s a little over 4 acres. Including Rainforest, 5 and a half.

In the central area there are interactive elements which cause animal noises/reactive lights however they are not signposted, it is nothing to go and find but a nice moment if you accidentally discover them.
