Is that small building bathrooms or maintenance?

Likely just maintenance. An X-Wing is going right there I believe.

Man, the jelly of the month club has nothing on Bioreconstruct- he's the gift that truly keeps giving the whole year round.

I would love it if we could get that bridge on the original Toy Story Land Concept Art just to split the lands and nightlines. too bad budget cuts...

We talked about this over on the Anaheim thread. I believe Martin has confirmed these as the bathrooms (plus one in the sit down restaurant.)

The building you asked about is right next to the X-Wing, and over in Anaheim you can see a bit of a line set up to get to it. I speculated (unconfirmed) that this might be a meet and greet area and the building in question might be for costumes/breaks that service that end of the land.

All my troubles seemed so far away...

The shape of the entrance path should withhold the big reveal until inside the land. They still have some planting to do, not only in the berm, but in the land itself. Give the trees some time and I think the land will be pretty well hidden.

If only BioReconstruct could get some pictures from inside the attractions. Would love to see what that looks like.

Is the side of the MuppetVision buildinh being repainted, or has the yellow and tan always merged like that? Looks like they’re still trying to slowly remove all muppet references to the building.

Anyone think there'll be a better themed land anywhere else once this is completed?

I’d hope so for the future. I’d hate to look back like 20 years from now and feel like no one attempted to top it.

Do we know if they are gonna at least put a fake door on the right side of that bridge that is in front of the Falcon? Seems like a break in the incredible realism for it just to be a bridge that runs into a wall. Maybe I’m just being nitpicky considering what we’re getting.

Sorry for the late bump, but I've been mulling this over the past week. As the discussion has been on preparing for the massive crowds and logistics of the opening of Galaxy's Edge, and in particular, preparing for re-distribution of crowds, this idea stuck out in my head.

If Disney knows the masses are going to be overflowing in DHS for Star Wars, why not lean heavily into that and go BIG for the opening months of the space. Star Wars Weekends on steroids.

MuppetVision*3D overlay with the Muppets spoofing the entire Star Wars saga in 15 minutes. Star Tours with update for Episode 9 location. Hyperspace overlay on Rock'n'Roller Coaster. Disney Characters in their Star Wars Costumes (or at least Jedi Mickey). Special guests with shows in the Theater for the Stars, ABC Sound Studio, Premier Theater, etc. Meet and greets with rare Star Wars characters in Launch Bay and around the park.

Open Star Wars content around the park at the same time that Galaxy's Edge opens to disperse visitors throughout the park to experience it all and to allow those who will not get into Galaxy's Edge to still feel like they've gotten a Star Wars experience.

If Disney is not going to provide enough competing attractions to compensate, at least the overlay route could help offset.

They did a Star Wars meets Indiana Jones a couple of years ago at the stunt show.

In short, no! This is phenomenal.

Yes, I noticed that a while back.
It seems designed so that you don't see the whole land until you round the turn.

It's going to be a battle between Super Nintendo World and this to determine which is the better land.

lol. that's like bringing a gun to a knife fight I'm thinking. even if they pull off an amazing Nintendo world, it surely isn't gonna come close to potter land or swl.
