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

[mickEblu]

Um, do you ever watch the news?

No it just depresses me. I try to stay away at all costs. I was partly kidding though. I know a lot of crazy stuff happens there. I just wonder if its worse than any other heavily populated state like California. So the bad rap is probably due to a combination of crazies, bad weather and lack of diverse entertainment options (outside of theme parks) for such a large state. However, I wonder how accurate some of the stereotypes are. Kind of like how everyone thinks people in California are laid back. Are the folks that visit WDW really a representation of Florida or the South/ Mid West in general?

... in addition to the awful weather and stifling humidity 10 months out of the year.

Hey, as a former Florida resident...its not that bad!

My house only got struck by lightning once and part of my school experienced only a mild sinkhole incident.

Apart from that, late 80's/early 90's WDW was great!

Sometimes I feel this could apply to California too.

As a resident looking out at the rest of the nation I keep praying it happens.

As a whole, our nation needs to be sent to its room to sort itself out.

Warm weather enables people to be out all the time.
When people are out all of the time, they can get involved in bad things all of the time - day, night, 24 hour cycles, mid winter...
My father was a NYC cop through the 60's and 70's and I remember him remarking on really bad winter days that it was the best thing for reducing crime.

The problem with that solution is that Florida would probably get stuck as it started to float away and then as it's hanging loosely onto the continental Unites States you couldn't be sure whether to count it as belonging to the Union or not.

Well, Florida voted for Trump while California voted for Clinton in 2016.

All California needs is a little plastic surgery to remove San Francisco and Sacramento.

Lot of confederate speak going on here...

HEY! I live in the Bay Area thank you very much.

and your point is?

Bay Area contributes a lot to the US economy.

San Fran is one of my favorite cities...expensive, but beautiful.

Only sometimes?

Even if WDW's SW:GE is smaller initially, don't they have a LOT of room for expansion while Disneyland is packed to the brim?

There is a level of panic now setting into the halls of TDO.

I have it on unfortunately good authority that WDW has run out of room. It’s the reason most new offerings have to displace previous attractions or lands. From New Fantasyland with 20k, Frozen in Norway, Pandora and Camp Mickey, Toy Story and Star Wars with the Backlot tour, Mickey and Great movie ride, Guardians and Energy, Indy and Dinosaur.

Execs are hand wringing that their last two less than optimal expansion spots may lead to guests skin boiling off to reach Tron. But they really don’t want to refund those guests walking miles in the shady back alleys of France (subject to pick pocketers) to reach Ratatouille. Apparently Brazil is caught in limbo without a spot to go. Imagineers anticipated US and Canada would be at war by now, leading to an optimal replacement pad.

Apparently imagineers arrived at the site of the planned Main Street theatre simply to realize a show space would likely be unable to handle more than double digits guests, and there was no where to move the dumpster to. The Main Street Electrical parade had to be sent back, it was proving too costly to ship it in from Tampa every day. Don’t worry though, the budget has been moved to replace the Wonders of Life Pavilion. They estimate that pavilion can accommodate at least three dumpsters that need relocation.

Cabanas are now being replaced by high rise 16 story hotels, if you can’t go out you must go up. The gondolas really are a god send though. They take so little space and the hope is to offer select gondolas as overnight accommodations for people who cannot fit into the over capacity hotel rooms. The A/C facility was passed up though, too much room needed.

It’s really all too bad that Disneyland continues to sunshine and rainbows while expanding their park boundaries with Star Wars and Marvel. Execs are so glad they have the Universal contract as an alibi in Florida.

Really the biggest horror of the whole thing that WDW will have to cancel Food and Wine and Hot Dog Days starting next year. The Kitchens are deemed too high yield to add in bunk beds for guests.

Anyways, that’s the latest from my neighbour. She always appreciates when I let her borrow my serving spoons.
