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

That's what was said by, I think, @marni1971. In at Grand, out in TSL.

Also, there will be a long switchbacking queue in the Grand Ave area that people will have to go through. They're not going to let a mob rush the gate.

And they have the option of using the back stage street, which will be themed, to use either as a queue, making the entrance TSL side, or, as the exit bypassing TSL if that's mobbed still.

What about DL - with 3 portals, which would be entrance and which would be exit?

Sorry, forgot which forum I was in.

I've seen no insider give info WRT DL's SWGEB's traffic flow yet, AFAIK.

I circled in red the building I was talking about.

That's the main parade warehouse for Disneyland, and it's easy to see from the street and parking structure. It's been there since the 1970's, I think. Here's a better angle of it directly behind the Falcon ride, where there's a two lane alley between it and the Falcon ride. It appears to be the same distance from the ride building as the new green building is in DHS.

This is from the latest Nearmap images, taken November 2017. Parade warehouse and alley on extreme right of photo.

This photo from January, 1983 shows the parade warehouse in the upper left corner, (to the southwest of the much larger Disneyland warehouse). And I'm also reminded how much I miss that fabulous old Global Van Lines headquarters building that used to sit right along the Santa Ana Freeway just north of Disneyland, where the far less fabulous TDA now sits.

I'm sorry, but I'm going off topic now...

"Visitors are welcome"?!?!? How the heck did I not know this back then? Add that to my Disneyland Time Machine list. If I ever get to go back to the 1960's after I get off of Carousel of Progress, I'm walking up Harbor Blvd. to the Global Van Lines headquarters and presenting myself at reception and asking for the visitors experience. Hysterical!

DHS is becoming a park that celebrates Southern California and very specific IPs. It’s baffling

All they need now is a cheap and underwhelming row of vacant San Francisco row houses and a Ghirardelli soda fountain to represent all of Northern California, and the metamorphosis will be complete. Just call it DCA East and be done with it.

Like there is anything else in Northern California.

It's happening!!! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise has arrived at Star Trader in Tomorrowland. We're as excited as a #Porg riding in the #MillenniumFalcon!

Awesome, now that the opening year is on a t-shirt it can't possibly be delayed!

Galaxys edge opening and New Years Eve - I can't see anything bad coming from that combo.

Merchandise from the future? It doesn't even exist yet.

I understand the appeal of attraction-closing-forever merch, but pre-attraction merch??? This seems like a new low.

Never let it be said that Disney doesn't try to squeeze as much money out of people as they possibly can.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

I'm glad I never got a Pandora: The World of Avatar shirt before visiting it.

 

[Rich T]

I'd wear one of these items if Disney *gave* it to me as a way to advertise their upcoming expansion. I don't turn myself into a walking billboard for nothin'.

Twenty years ago, my younger self would have gladly paid money to wear advertising for an upcoming Disneyland attraction. Now I'm old and cranky and all I see is Bob Iger laughing all the way to the bank, dancing on the fan's heads...

Gotta admit, though, that hat looks good--(slaps own face).

 

[vancee]

Can they at least clean their merchandise before blasting it on twitter? What is with the lint all over the hat?

When did we swap places as me being the fanboy and you the cynic?

I don't know, I don't like sloppy things.. Merchandise is okay but the pictures is sloppy.

I think the blue Star Wars shirt needs to pop out more.
