I also thought that; I think they might’ve just been responding to a concern in the queue when someone took this photo, but perhaps others can clarify If their presence is constant.

And you don't notice the two exit signs written in the font of a galaxy far far away and from the future? That doesn't break immersion for you?
Maybe the Toontown brawl?

This is why we can't have nice things.
Oh, and unless I'm reading the date wrong, a woman tried to kill herself at WDW yesterday....jumped off the ferry boat that carries you from the parking lot to the Magic Kingdom, went right into the lake.
This is where we are.

I was surrounded by pimps, sleeveless denim Disneyland biker gangs and murderers. It was like being in the stands at a Los Angeles Raiders game.

I don’t think this is correct; the jacket looks more like WDW security than DL. Added to the fact that WDW’s RotR is open and DL’s isn’t, so the sourcing of the photo is more likely from Florida...

Disneyland's security jackets are not that ugly.

This is an over exaggeration.

Do they annoy me-yes of course but nothing can be done about those just like nothing can be done about all the other annoying signs from proposition 65 reminding us that the everything in the state of California can cause cancer.
As for the security guard it doesn't bother me i just find it amusing that they are touting the land as full immersion but they themselves do not follow their own rules.
Just recently they had podiums with guide castmembers in the entrance way of the land and even had one inside the land.
Why would you have a plaid worker inside the land giving out park information but they are afraid to have characters that might not match the timeline as if most guests would care or know?

After riding rise twice in Florida, it will be interesting how this plays out in Cali. The ride relies so heavily on cm’s acting out the parts I have my doubts the lackluster California cast I saw during this summer can pull it off. We shall see.

I think I see Cousin Eddie emptying the toilet of his mobile camper back there too because it is full

Disneyland is also beyond cramped.While I completely understand what you're saying and agree with it, believe me I do.
This reminds me of this dumb-yet-fascinating thing I posted on the WDW board earlier during my afternoon, um, teatime. The kids over there were talking about acreage of various parks, and I had to remind them that acreage almost never equals fun. I'll just cut and paste that post I made here...
I'm on Maui for Christmas and there's a Wolfgang Puck Spago restaurant in my hotel (Retro Disney World reference!) with a very good bartender whom I've become friends with over the past week. As I sit here late afternoon Hawaii Standard Time at the Spago bar I just have to throw this out there after staring out at the beach and scribbling some math on a few cocktail napkins, in case anyone forgets that acreage doesn't always equal activity, much less quality.
Ride counts per park as of the year 2020, to include the Star Wars Land stuff, Runaway Railway, Tokyo expansion opening this spring, Marvel Land in DCA this summer, etc.
Disneyland USA is one of the smaller parks by acreage but has the most rides by a long shot, with an additional E Ticket now under construction for 2022 (Runaway Railway). Animal Kingdom is the biggest park by acreage, likely never to be exceeded, and yet it has the lowest ride count in the entire Disney empire even after its huge Pandora expansion recently.
- Disney's Animal Kingdom - 580 acres = 8 Rides, 5 are E Tickets
- Epcot - 300 acres = 9 Rides, 4 are E Tickets
- Tokyo DisneySea - 176 acres = 21 Rides, 6 are E Tickets
- Disney's Hollywood Studios - 135 acres = 9 Rides, 5 are E Tickets (assuming Runaway Railway is an E)
- Disneyland Paris - 126 acres = 22 Rides, 6 are E Tickets
- Tokyo Disneyland - 115 acres = 27 Rides, 8 are E Tickets
- Magic Kingdom - 105 acres = 25 Rides, 7 are E Tickets
- Disneyland - 85 acres = 37 Rides, 13 are E Tickets
- Disney California Adventure - 72 acres = 19 Rides, 5 are E Tickets
- Hong Kong Disneyland - 68 acres = 17 Rides, 6 are E Tickets
- Walt Disney Studios, Paris - 62 acres = 9 Rides, 3 are E Tickets
As seen above, acreage is generally a poor way to determine how good and/or entertaining a theme park will be.

R2-D2 Now Gliding Around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park
by Michael Ramirez, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort
If you are planning on visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland or Walt Disney World Resorts, you’ll encounter plenty of characters from around the galaxy—from members of the First Order and the Resistance, to cosmic creatures and of course, droids!
On your next transport to Batuu in Disneyland park, you may see a familiar sidekick gliding around: R2-D2!
A resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 has shown great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot’s assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
If you want to bring a droid companion home with you, head to Droid Depot and build your own! Choose from either an R-series or BB-series as droid parts come and go on conveyor belts. Then, place your finished droid in an activation station to bring them to life. Droids can be further customized with personality-affiliation chips, color panels and other accessories. Watch as your droid interacts with other astromech droids, as well as with certain elements throughout Black Spire Outpost. Droid Depot offers advance reservations up to 60 days in advance and are available via the Disneyland Resort website or the Disneyland app.
Afterwards, take time to explore the epic land where you can sample galactic food and beverages, enter an intriguing collection of merchant shops and take the controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard another attraction in the land, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. The newest attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, launches at Disneyland park on Jan. 17 after opening Dec. 5, 2019 in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort. You’ll climb aboard a full-size transport shuttle before being captured by a Star Destroyer and find yourself in the middle of a climactic battle between the dark side of the First Order and the light side of the Resistance. The harrowing adventure blurs the lines between fantasy and reality on a scale never seen before in a Disney attraction.

Exactly. Do all the things they said they were going to do back at the 2015 D23 Expo and the various fan conventions in 2016 and 2017 before all those things got mysteriously cut and went silent.
That said, R2D2 out there roaming around is a great first step! Keep taking those baby steps Mr. Chapek and you just might become a showman by 2030!
