Overall, Galaxys Edge is cool, but I feel like it's a blown opportunity by Disney. Rise is cool, but could be better. Maybe its because of all the hype, I had higher expectations. I also wish they would have made it take place in the original trilogy. I'd rather see Vader than Kylo. Or even the prequel trilogy. You could have tons of Jedi walking around.
Oh man, the only thing that would have made it worse for me is if I had had to wait in that huge standby queue. I got fastpasses for it, so we've never been through the standby line either. Thank goodness!!
I've ridden it 4 times standby and it was always a walk-on or a very short wait. Timing is the trick. Ride during a parade or have breakfast at the Be Our Guest and when you leave go straight on.
I think Star Tours is better. I was really disappointed with MF:SR, Unless you were a pilot it is very Meh!!! The exterior was great but the ride itself was less than exciting.
In Hollywood Studios??? Actually would you say MOST of MK and Epcot are the same today as in 2019? 
You’re totally entitled to your feelings. Like you, I’m in no rush to return to WDW anytime soon. Too many changes, too many upcharges, too many ride breakdowns, too many construction walls; not enough perks.I have not been to Disney World in awhile. I think our last visit was Fall of 2019.
Unlike many who return frequently, my family (after our 5th visit) felt that we would not return again until our daughter eventually married....then had a baby...then that baby eventually reached age 4. Only then would we return.
Yet there are Star Wars related rides that would be totally new to us.
These are contained in one park?
Is it worth another trip to see those?

Some of you may recall or have seen on various different threads that I was less than pleased that any potential future visit I'd have to pay to park at Pop Century....or if not driving, pay Mears instead of the old free experience....pay for Genie +......a number of formerly free aspects aspects are now flipped to requiring $s.
LOL....the more I compose this post here, the more I remember all my negative thoughts. O dear...sorry for being negative
I'm just being honest and hope I don't regret this post.
I like all my friends here and I very much want to keep them! Kindly don't hold my candid thoughts against me.
Re. your closing sentence: "I would happily return to DL tomorrow" Me too. My last visit to Disneyland in Anaheim was 16 or 17 years ago.
Dlp for us next year and then hopefully a visit to where it all started 2024
The last time I was at WDW was mid-November 2019. MK isn't a lot different, not counting Genie+ and LL, but Epcot is a lot different. To me the only improvement that was positive was the entrance, replaced fountain and closer to the original design of it. After that aesthetically, it is awful, out of balance after SSE and walls everywhere. I don't mind the new ideas for Epcot overall, but I do object to the taco barges in the lagoon, the lack of aesthetic balance in the open area just past SSE to me is disturbing and I'm not even wildly OCD, just enough I guess.I have not been to Disney World in awhile. I think our last visit was Fall of 2019.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The last time we went I spent a lot of time learning how to arrange for my Fast Passes and getting on the phone at the crack of dawn(on my first day of eligibility) to reserve my sit down dining. If I had to learn the Genie + / LL that would maybe take me additional time?
I love his photos as well.
I've loved having this much extra time down here. I would do a 2ish week trip again in a heartbeat.I love his photos as well.
@PUSH has been having a great time, despite all the various out of order attractions (but then fixed later on), add-on fees to avoid some of the lines, higher ticket prices, etc. He also packed in enough extra days to catch up on things. I think that's part of what helped -- extra time, so he and his pals could experience all the attractions they wanted to see, but had to spread out of a number of days. When a visitor to WDW only has a few days and some attractions break down, it has a much more detrimental effect on the overall vacation experience.
