That's curious. The line hasn't been long since it fully opened to the public. I straight up walked inside several times just to take pictures and it was a walk up straight to the register
I think this is all to kinda be ahead of the curve for when anyone with any AP can visit, I guess their expecting these to be popular spots
On a side note, I wonder what kind of dedication ceremony they're gonna have for GE at DHS? Maybe bring out the cast of the new trilogy?
I check the reservations page for Disneyland (California) and it seems like the Savi's reservations are currently down. All I get is a graphic of the Millennium Falcon flying around.
But I haven't heard of any excessively long lines there so hopefully it'll be OK.
I'll be going to Disneyland in almost exactly 1 month and I'm definitely excited to get a Savi's lightsaber.
It does suck that they currently stopped selling extra pieces (scrap metal), and I hope they have it back by the time I go. I already bought a grip piece from eBay (had a $5 off coupon and it's a piece from a different theme than in planning on getting). I was impressed with how heavy just that piece is (the horizontal strip grip from Power and Control), a fully lightsaber with all the pieces, the middle tube, and the batteries must be substantially weighty.
Might get a Legacy lightsaber too. Just depends on how much money I'm willing to spend, haha.
Yes, Happy Rollercoaster day!!
Here's a video I took on the world famous Cyclone in Coney Island, Brooklyn back in May.
The Jack Skellington puppet in the new Halloween fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom is beyond incredible.
Yeah I saw some video on it... damn impressive... Makes me wish they would give the WDW HM a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay..
So this is blowing up a fair bit at the moment:
An incredibly interesting read.
An incredibly interesting read.
I got about half way through and gave up. Seems like the author is a disneyphile and has issues with Mickey now being associated with other, far less family friendly characters.
It's really about astroturfing being used for the purpose of corporate politics, with accusations being made about the people running MiceChat.
Its reliability seems dubious, though. I can't find very much on this author, either, and he appears to have deleted his Twitter account in the wake of this article.
EDIT: I should clarify that it could very well be true, but there doesn't seem to be any way of verifying the claims. And the author did appear to take part in Twitter conversations about Disney's business side.

For what it's worth, folks on Twitter are saying he's got a history of writing Disney hit pieces.

Thats exactly where I stopped reading...
How does no one stop and say "hmmmmm, this doesn't look good" at all during the construction or design of this ride?
Wonder if they're going to officially announced opening dates and show off some new concepts at D23 this weekend.
*pulls pin*
Disneyland subs and monorail are being removed.
*tosses grenade*
I know it's not going to happen, but I would love to get some kind of announcement about the WDW monorail system getting new trains in time for the 50th. It always amazes me how DL has better monorail trains and their line is extremely short compared to the monorail system in FL...
I too would also love some sort of news on a SM refurb in WDW that would bring it up to speed with DL. Hyperspace Mountain in DL is amazing and I would love some kind of overlay of that...

Seems like a bunch of park stuff has been announced tonight:
New Moana attraction at Epcot called 'Moana: Journey of Water"
Out at DL, the new Avengers section is going to be called "Avengers Campus"
Also, they announced the name of the Star Wars Hotel. It is called Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. Disney saying "it's not a hotel, it's an adventure"

There's so much wrong with Epcot that event a massive overhaul to the park still isn't enough. Test Track 2.0 is hella outdated, Imagination sucks, etc.
That article is from The Spirit of '74 as known on Universal Insider/Laughing Place or WDW1974 on WDWMagic quite high in the company who own the controlling stake in Viacom.
I do not care who it is... it reads as if it were written by someone who has no idea what they are talking about, or what the source material is.
I agree with theme park joe on this... needs the trash emoji
I liked reading WDW1974's posts on WDWMagic.
That post linked above was...kinda rambling. It sure was fun to watch the fallout from it though!

Gary and Mike Snyder are just vindictive, miserable people who are pissed they never got hired by Disney so they mud sling. There's some truth to that article but the amount of damage he did wasn't worth the ends. He outed two men, he can fuck off.
That you were only allowed to purchase a kyber Crystal if you bought a holocron. Now you can buy them individually again, I guess. They restocked the colors not too long ago so I plan on going back for white and tellow
Aw come on! I was at Disneyland last Saturday and I still had to buy the dumb Holocron to get an extra crystal. They didn't even have the container for it. :(
Oh well, My fiance and I are planning on getting annual passes eventually so we'll be able to go back pretty soon (we're California residents so it's worth it if we go more than 3 times a year I think). I can always try to sell the holocron too.
Feels like Disney should have known WAY ahead of time that the Crystals would be a massively popular souvenir. Even if you don't get a Lightsaber or Holocron, they're one of the more affordable exclusive things they sell at Galaxy's Edge, they look nice, and there's multiple colors so people will probably want to get more than one.
Galaxy's Edge was definitely cool when we went. I regret that we didn't spend more time there, but we had a lot of other stuff to do and we were only there one day. Didn't do the Falcon ride since it was over an hour wait all day (up to 2 hours at times) and there was no fast pass available for it. But the sets and props and everything looked really impressive.
Nearly missed my Savi's appointment, too. We were eating in downtown Disney for dinner and when we got back to the gates (about 30-40min before the appointment), the entrance was closed for the fireworks and some kind of show (maybe the parade?). Took forever to get into the park and when we did it was a madhouse of people entering and leaving so you could barely move. And then there was ANOTHER show about to start and we had to towards it to get to Galaxy's Edge. Once the crowd cleared we sprinted the whole way there and just barely made it.
New article on Avengers Campus.
I was at this panel. After I got out I got some pics of the WEB Spider-bot and the suitNew article on Avengers Campus.
If I use that Target gift card and the employee tosses it down a garbage hole immediately if it's depleted I'll be pissed, lol
Yawn. Someone I trust says they did "Plan B" for the presentation focusing on SWGE, the ships, and what was already announced instead of debut new things.
