"This information was first reported by the OC Register"

that OC Register article is rather sloppy and almost pointless.

And this is why people say he just regurgitates things on the internet.

Again selectively pulling out one sentence while ignoring the rest. Context is everything, and you missed it all, and its not the first time. Have a good day sir.

I don't respond to the rest of your post because it's the same fluff you've said for the last few responses. I get it - you don't agree with me, I don't need to repeat things to someone who obviously doesn't agree.

But then you accuse me of slamming him when I never once said anything malicious about him as a person. I've been consistent with my constructive criticism, which is something that isn't that much, in my opinion, to ask from a newscast. You have been all over the place with your defense.

Again you missed the context, what I was stating as you slamming was his content not him as a person. To which I stated if you believe his content is incorrect and you can do better then create your own.

What's that you say? Three (professional?) writers, and presumably a supervising editor produced this sentence: "It is a massive structure that nearly takes up nearly a quarter of Galaxy’s Edge."

Was there a word-count quota they were trying to hit? Did they send it to "the department of redundancy department" for the final check before publishing?

Editing hasn't been what it's supposed to be since the beginning of "instant news"...things seem like they rarely even get spell-checked these days.

Well, one problem with his headline is that it's hardly the "exact layout". The OC Register SWL diagram doesn't match up with the shapes on the model, and the DL park map keeps the BTR buildings and backstage facilities, as noted upthread. This is typical of the Register's coverage of DL going back decades.

I am a grumpy old man, that's been my gig for about 20 years now. And that YouTube kid is still annoying. Although I was tickled to be briefly lumped in with those who are merely "middle aged", so thank you for that. :D

As for the BS and drama, I've been talking online about Disneyland since 1995 on the alt.disney.disneyland Usenet boards via a dial-up 28K and then a hyperfast 56K modem. This concept has always been about BS and drama, which is why it exists and why it is fun. But if you think I am full of BS and drama, you would have absolutely hated Al Lutz.

But the good news for everyone is, to balance out the grumpy old men and the BS and the drama and the annoying YouTube kid who steals online rumors as "Latest Details!", we have our favorite lady blogger. All she does is work quietly to provide fabulous videos from various places around the park to get the very latest on Star Wars construction, set to tastefully selected instrumental music. Perfection!

Here's her latest offering from Toontown taken Friday... Star Wars is definitely having an aesthetic impact on Mickey's little neighborhood on his birthday weekend!

I was in college and discovered alt.disneyland in 95. 22 years later I wonder how Many hours of my life have been spent discussing Disneyland??

I've wondered the exact same thing. It's terrifying to think about really. :arghh:

The Golden Age was really 1999 to 2003, when we had the likes of Cynthia Harriss and PRESSLER! to talk about. And with Al Lutz dishing the dirt and juicy gossip, and hilarious online cheerleader's like "Marcie" over on Mouseinfo or Jon Nadelberg over on LP trying to spin it all as if DCA was a big hit and everything was just fine. It was hysterically funny back in those days, and filled with huge amounts of BS and drama!

Things today are far more polite and far more bland.

My favorite was our "what does DCA stand for? " thread - Don't Come Again.

Anyone else think the Predictions for Star Wars Land and How it will break DLR is being kind of blown out of proportion? I look at it like the gym. A bunch of new people sign up in January to meet their New Years resolutions and by March it’s the same old people at the gym. Except in this case I think “January” is Star Wars opening date and “March” is about 12-18 months after it opens.

I know there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there. But the question is, of those fans, how many are likely to visit SWL More than 1-2 to times in a given year? Another thing to consider, how many of them are already APs or visit Disneyland 1-2 times a year anyway? I don’t see SWL as a huge draw for foreign tourists and the fact that a near identical copy exists in Florida means that DLR doesn’t have to shoulder all of the demand stateside. Are some thinking that SWL will create a lot more demand for APs? As we ve already seen with the So Cal AP, Disney has a cap on the numbers of APs they are willing to have for each tier.
