The new Kong might be trash, but the original was one of the best ever.

Star Tours has to be a transport, but it does raise the question of why you end up back in Tomorrowland. The scenes end on Coruscant, Naboo etc, so why are we exiting on the same planet we boarded? It's just too disorienting.

Ride the train. Bonus tip: have a friend blindfold you and cover your ears so you never know where you'll end up--then you can actually disembark in a DIFFERENT LOCATION FROM WHERE YOU STARTED!!!

(See, that wasn't so difficult! LOL)

Only weighing in because I feel the discussion has gotten so far off track. It's called Star Tours, the solution is in the name. Calling it a "tour bus" only half covers the experience because in the first room they are hawking vacation packages. That's what the ride is supposed to be before it's intercepted by Imperials or captained by an untested droid.
Yes it is also a "transport," but it's more like the Gate One of Star Wars. Gate One leaves from regular airports, but shows you around once you reach your destination. This never happens because of course something goes terribly wrong. Now, to quote a stormtrooper, can we, "Move along, move along!" Is anything new happening with Galaxy's Edge?

The new version is definitely a tour bus. The fact you think it's an airport just shows how horribly designed the new version is.

Baggage check, airport security, departing gates. This is the Star Tours Terminal which has flights to different tourist destinations. Star Tours in LA is a tour bus that takes people around Hollywood...maybe that's what you're thinking of.

Like the train in Solo? They should have made a coaster of that for SW:GE. Boom! Back on topic!

Seriously? Are you that fragile? Does it freak you out that it's night inside POTC and it's daylight at Disneyland? Or inside a house is a swamp?

Potentially new development on the status of alcohol at GE (minor spoilers ahead)

A vast portion of the new book Thrawn Alliances takes place on Batuu, at the Black Spire Outpost- the location depicted in Galaxy's Edge. In the Cantina, the bartender reads off a number of beverages, following up that they're available with and without alcohol.

Calling it now, but alcohol at GE seems to be a certainty (as if there was ever serious doubt).

Just to be devil's advocate, if they're available with or without alcohol, could be a reference to WDW's having alcohol and Disneyland's being sober.

We ALL know they are going to serve booze in the Cantina in Star Wars Land. And a year later they’ll serve alcohol at the Blue Bayou, Cafe Orleans and Carnation Cafe.

It’s 2018 heading quickly towards the 2020’s, and it’s time to end Disneyland’s prohibition. I wouldn’t have said that 15 years ago, but times change.

Why TDA even pretends that’s not the decision they made two years ago baffles me, and yet I’m somehow not surprised after their recent ham-fisted PR responses to issues big and small.

Someone needs to shake up Disney’s PR team and stop letting interns and their 26 year old “managers” guide their public outreach and communication. Adults who can communicate with adults are needed desperately in TDA’s PR offfices.

Walt's been running a speakeasy for decades in Disneyland.

I feel like times have changed sufficiently. Alcohol is generally higher brow and a more European like-acceptance in North America than it ever has been.

It's time, I'd frankly be shocked/disappointed if there is none in Disneyland's SW:GE... because there will be in DHS obviously. Freaking Woody's Lunchbox serves alcohol.

Maybe there will still be a graded experience, perhaps DHS will have more walk-ups and alcoholic options served from carts... whereas Disneyland will limit it to table experiences and only within the Cantina.

Couldn’t agree with you more! It’s time.

But seriously, they serve booze out of the Woody’s Lunchbox snack bar in Toy Story Land?!? So why would they even pretend they aren’t going to serve alcohol in Anaheim’s Star Wars Land? How stupid does TDA think we are?
