Hey @TheMaxRebo - looks like we'll be there at the same time again. Time for another beer/sightline survey?
absolutely!

Looks like the GE food time names are changed in the locaitons as well, not just online:

But you can keep Oi-Oi Puff? I don't get it. Change everything or (better yet) don't change anything. Nothing immerses me into a land more than going onto a foreign planet...and ordering Fried Chicken...
So how long has it been closed for so far? (I haven't kept up on it).NEWS
WDW Railroad at MK to remain closed through at least Oct 2020 due to Tron construction
yeah, was chatting with some other people about this and I think it comes down to that the vast majority of guests to Disney don't want to experience it as if they are going to some place "foreign" - they just want to experience going to Disney and having fun and riding rides and not going that extra level. So while your thought process might not be the exception here, in this thread, it likely is amongst the average guest to the park
Which is the issue/challenge with trying to have this immersive land inside an existing park - you aren't just getting the super fans there and, at least so far, Disney wasn't able to get the right balance and they need to make sure the "Disney fans" that come are happy vs the "Star Wars" fans that want the full immersion (and that overlap was perhaps smaller than they expected).
Plus, with the main ride still down and the prices being like 10-20% higher than in the rest of the park, people are probably less forgiving than if they though the rest of the land made up for any small inconvenience

Something that just popped up on a local TV app. A good reminder to stay aware- even in the Disney bubble.

There goes the One Man's Dream (forgot the new name) film that's actually about Walt yet again...trailers can be watched online. Seems like almost every time we're there it's a preview running.
Ooo pretty! Somehow it never crossed my mind that the castle refurb might mean a new spin on the holiday decorations. I'm excited to see what else is different and extra sparkly!
Yeah - tough enough as it is with crowds and so few rides. It'll also just mean more people going for Frozen and Soarin' for their Tier 1 FPs too.Yeah, definitely trying to look ok at the positive side impact of TT bring down that it likely means SSE will still be open
We are going Presidents week so just resting ripple effect of more rides being down when it already tends to be crowded
Wow, so our trips are almost matching up twice - just figured out over on the DVC Fan Facebook page that @skier_pete and I are both at Boardwalk for a trip next weekend. That's our kid-free trip, but then we're taking the kids the first week of February.Hey @TheMaxRebo - looks like we'll be there at the same time again. Time for another beer/sightline survey?
Is this just being announced now? That would be the bigger issue for me. Seems pretty late to do this to people who have thought they had a solid vacation plan and those that bought midday magic tickets.
If they're giving up on immersion, they are kind of giving up on the main concept of the land.yeah, was chatting with some other people about this and I think it comes down to that the vast majority of guests to Disney don't want to experience it as if they are going to some place "foreign" - they just want to experience going to Disney and having fun and riding rides and not going that extra level.
