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

[TROR]

Reminds me of when I was a kid and would always make a point to spot the Matterhorn when my parents drove the 5 South past DL every once in a while. It was like this wonderful beacon of magic.

Same here. I couldnt see the Matterhorn, unfortunately, but I did see Mission Breakout and that made me angry.

Lol. I’m sorry that instead of the Matterhorn you saw that tall pile of trash.

I’m curious to see what a 21st century land feels like at DL. Will we see the wide paths that DCA has? I know they want it to have an intimate feel in the village with the alleys so it should be interesting.

They should aim for the HP land feel, especially Diagonilly. Sprawling yet intimate.

So....I was following along on Twitter when Disneyland had their recent StarWars Nites and....it kind of sounded like a disaster. Long lines. Lack of cast members. Cast Members who were unfamiliar with the event and the merch and what was supposed to happen and where. Apparently some of the guests who came in costume were even made fun of. I cant help but think that these events and the May the 4th events and others are their way of prepping for Galaxies Edge and seeing how/what they need to do to manage the crowds...if they cant even run something like Star Wars Nite without complaints,how are they going to deal when the actual Land opens up and they have 10x the crowd?

I have no idea what a dress-up party night has to do with opening a major new land with two E Tickets, aside from the weirdo clientele who dress up in public like Morbidly Obese Princess Leia or Gender Fluid Han Solo, all of whom will be camping out on Harbor Blvd. next summer waiting to get in to Star Wars Land.

That said, I'd love to read some of the rage tweets from these folks. Have any links?

I've reposted what you said on SW fan sites. The rage tweets will come to you!!!

I say they just cancel SW Land and transfer the E.T. Adventure to that space.

Got it, I blame the internet. Sometimes I think the fandom needs to be banned from the internet. And forced to just enjoy the objects of that fandom without worrying about every little detail and decision they may disagree with.

Fortunately, we live in a country where people can voice their opinions and not worship every piece of cheap crud a corporation tries to sell them. And, yeah, if there was no internet, Pixar Pier would magically be a work of genius.

Sure we live in that country, and I'm proud we do. However that doesn't mean that the fandom doesn't get rabid over the some of the most ridiculous things. For example, how many saw last weeks episode of Big Bang Theory? It has a scene poking fun at the Star Wars fandom. Or go to Comic-Con any year, any year, and you'll see fandoms of any movie/tv series asking the actors questions about a characters actions not having to do with the movie/tv series as if the actor really was that character.

The Disney park fandom is no different, me included. We get so intense in analyzing and overanalyzing the minute details that we forget to just enjoy it. Because as some have pointed out, once you see xyz it loses the magic and you can't unsee it and ruins the experience. Or you watch a ride video, decide you don't like it and refuse to go on it, even though you'd probably actually enjoy it if you rode it with an open mind by not seeing a video.

If there was no internet, Pixar Pier wouldn't have been built.

If there wasn't an internet, Pixar Pier would get very little flack at all. Also Disneyland would have normal to low crowd levels.

The internet has almost ruined Disneyland and WDW for me.

How could something that you have had most of your life ruin something that your too young to remember any different?

I definitely think the internet has a huge part in the current Disney AP culture that takes pictures in front of purple walls and need to buy every new piece of merchandise. It is their existence which has allowed pathetic changes like Mission Breakout and Pixar Pier to be a success.

I hate negative people on the internet! Excuse me while I spread more negativity on the internet!...oh...wait a minnit...

What?

You mean, you don't think people deserve to sit in their mom's basement, record videos of themselves talking about Disney and ask people for money instead of getting real jobs?

You mean you don't enjoy seeing the same person taking over 50 shots from the same location in different outfits?

Do you mean to tell me that we'd all be much better off if we could just go to parks without feeling the pressure to keep our eyes glued to our phones so that we can keep checking to see how much validation our peers are giving us?????

What is this, 1994?

I want to challenge one of those people to go everyday for a year and take the same photo. Then put it together as a year in the life video of a Disney Youtuber.
