News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[castevious]

She could have meant structurally complete, or she could be misinformed. I have heard from several CMs over the years that they and their friends learn more/sooner on sites like this than they do at work. And we've certainly seen many examples of misconceptions and misinterpretations from CMs. I try to glean the closest to first-hand info I can get, but that's not easy to get. As I get down to second- and third-hand stuff I find the challenge is to filter it and cross-check it as much as I can.

A lot of times this is the case but it's also just as easy for wrong information to spread like a wild fire. If you look at the most recent photos or videos of the construction, the bridge looks like it still has a ways to go. However, it does look like they are getting close to laying the track everywhere else.

What I would like to know is what does your 35 year old neighbor do that he can afford a home in Villa Park and how do I get in?

He doesn't have an annual pass.

Not to get this thread off topic, but worth mentioning that there were press previews of Pandora in Animal Kingdom today and -- despite a short boat ride (as everyone already knew), the land itself is crazy impressive looking and a good indicator of the level of detail we should be seeing with this project. Sharing video as reference, but check out the threads in the WDW Avatar forum if you're seeking some discussion about it!

The Shamen AA is the most amazing AA Disney has done to date...or at least that I've seen. The boat ride is a bit bland, just a lot of bioluminescent plants and some SCREENZ.

This crane is hanging out behind Big Thunder today.

To make sure we don't derail this thread from the original topic, here is a link to some great Pandora stuff.

We just spent last Tuesday Wednesday Thursday at DL/DCA. The main attraction building for SWL is huge! Looking at it from the top drop of Thunder, it's very impressive.

That said, DL was way overcrowded for weekdays, and the back half of thunder over to Fantasyland is sorely missing for crowd flow. So many people, not enough walkways. The whole park felt like trying to get thru TL.ugh.

Johnny Depp was in person on PoTC on Wednesday! The day we were in DCA. Figures.

Yeah definitely a missed opportunity there. I don't mind that it's a sensory experience with no storyline or thrill. But there should have been more to see. Some AA beasts would of been cool.

He's a VP of something or other for The Irvine Company, and his wife is an attorney. Nice couple. They don't have Disneyland AP's.

I hadn't checked pictures and videos of the land's progress lately, but this was just posted by Attractions 360°‏ @SoCal360. Holy Smoke it's getting big.

Exchanges like the above are why I prefer the smaller Disneyland forum to the bigger WDW forum (as much as I love my WDW friends).

Can't you get comedy gold like this over there?

Are you sure that is not a tumor? (*cues Schwarzenegger's IS NOODA TUMMAH)

Mostly in the Spirit threads. And on very rare occasion too.
