Why provide anything at DLR? They aren’t exactly begging for people to attend there either.

True…but they have a bigger job to “recenter” their clientele in Anaheim than Orlando

Orlando hasn’t put up anything resembling a “fight”. They ask for more regular/intensive “beatings”

No
I expected when Grogu came to GE that he'd be like what we saw before as a M&G where you'd stand in line to wait and take a video/pic with him.

The fact he is mobile and walking around with Mando makes it that much cooler.

I suspect Mando and Grogu will appear in WDW at some point.

Maybe the starcruiser will get a new Mando mission at some point to get more return visits

Is the Starcruiser still a thing? I thought maybe it already closed. No one talks about it.

To go to WDW? No, which I understand. To DL? Never been unfortunately. Just planning 1 WDW trip for next fall, first in 11 years and only as an independent adult! Just disappointing!

Fair Enough. 11 years is a long time and you’ll be ok if you can navigate the whole “pay extra to ride the stuff you’re standing out front of” thing…

What I find most alarming about them using time and resources at D23 Expo to announce these meet n' greets is the pitifully low throughput numbers that these things inherently get.

You put a kid from Fullerton Junior College (Go Hornets!) out there in a costume with a handler or two, and you form a little line, do 50 greets per hour and get maybe 150 people per hour through that process. Then you factor in that these lil' meet n' greets never run during all park operating hours, and you realize that it's only open 8 or 10 hours per day while the rest of the park offerings operate the full 16 hour day.

Meanwhile, the parks are full of actual rides that cycle through thousands and thousands of customers per hour. It's an inconvenient truth for some folks here, I'm sure, but these park meet n' greets have a teeny, tiny impact on the actual park experience for most paying customers. :oops:

Assuming an average of 3 customers per meet n' greet, 50 greets per hour, 10 hours per day...

Disneyland USA, Park Open 8am to 12 Midnight
Mandalorian & Grogu Meet N' Greet = 150 customers per hour, 1,500 customers per day

Pirates of the Caribbean = 2,800 riders per hour, 44,800 riders per day
It's A Small World = 2,300 riders per hour, 36,800 riders per day
Big Thunder Mountain = 2,200 riders per hour, 35,200 riders per day
Haunted Mansion = 2,100 riders per hour, 33,600 riders per day
Indiana Jones Adventure = 1,900 riders per hour, 30,400 riders per day
Space Mountain = 1,800 riders per hour, 28,800 riders per day
Matterhorn Bobsleds = 1,400 riders per hour, 22,400 riders per day
Peter Pan's Flight = 700 riders per hour, 11,200 riders per day
Dumbo = 500 riders per hour, 8,000 riders per day

And yet, because they didn't want to admit they have other real projects in the works for Disneyland, they wasted a large amount of time at yesterday's Parks Panel talking about a couple of new meet n' greets? Meet n' greets that will actually entertain a teeny, tiny portion of the daily customers?

I'm more embarrassed for them for wasting their time on this meet n' greet announcement than I am embarrassed for them for all wearing the same pair of dorky Dad Jeans on stage. 🤨
