Obviously from the circular shape, they're building the Death Star Resort.

What the latest press release on the new Wilderness resort/DVC had to say about the SW Resort...

Seamlessly connected to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, an immersive Star Wars-inspired destination will also be built at Walt Disney World Resort. This first-of-its-kind resort will be a completely immersive experience into an authentic Star Wars story as guests depart together for a multiday adventure aboard their starship. Guests will interact with characters as they become active citizens of the galaxy, dressed in proper attire as stories unfold all around them.​

The only question is do you consider a bus ride to the front gate seamlessly connected? Not me. Maybe a bus ride to a private gate. I still think an elevated, indoor walkway would be much more “seamless”

I doubt it would be AugR. There's no way to paint a bunch of SW animations on top of swampland, a parking lot, and the back stage and consider that immersive.

Welcome back to Dagobah

Yeah, I don't consider a bus to be seamless.
A themed tram would be more seamless.

How about a themed bus for a compromise

In other words, the gift shop will sell T-shirts, for you to dress up in and the bedroom will have a magic window to look out of and your bus driver will be a character as he drops you off at the park later that day.

Worst part is the in-character bus driver is going to tell you false rumors about Batuu.

Well, a themed bus would still be a bus - diesel, loud...
But a tram - well, trams are used for troop transport in films.

Someone else already mentioned this, but a themed bus is very doable. Have themed entrances that hide the bus. Hide the driver. Interior loosely themed as a transport. Use Potter-like screenz and sound effects in the bus.

Has this project actually started?

Go back a page and you’ll see pictures of work re-starting. But nothing vertical yet.

They'd have to bury that bus in some pretty heavy theming.
It's hard to hide the bus that lies beneath.
I suppose if they themed a bus as a banged up and weathered conveyance as Star Wars depicts some of its modes of transportation it might work.

Take the Bantha coat off the elephants and throw it on the bus.

The whole setup could be designed so you never even see the outside of the bus.
