Fly out to MCO early tomorrow morning for WDW for a week. Check out all the 50th anniversary and Halloween stuff. Galaxy's Edge. Assuming I can get a time slot for it before its all booked. Gotta try each morning at exactly 7am... like all the other riff-raff doing it. If I can arrange it, maybe check out the Celebration area to see what its like. First time on a plane in 15 years. Actually, first significant vacation in 3 years. Would have gone on one a year ago but Covid and the various shutdowns nixed that idea. I hate the packing though. I am always worried that I will forget something important. And in the back of my mind also hoping that TSA wont find some kind of issue to cause a problem or... worst case scenario... deny me entry.

Been their twice with our kids back in late 90's and early 2000's. They were young enough to enjoy them. But when they got to the teenage years, well Kings Island and Cedar Point were the places to go. And an easy drive for us too. No need to stay overnight !! Plus Ohio is the Roller Coaster capital of the world !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

A nice respite from them. Not that I live in Compton. Lets see. Galaxy's Edge as an environment was very well done. Great attention to even the really little details. Also, because of the layout and design once through the single entrance you cant see or hear any other parts of the park no matter where you are. To keep the immersion of a space port going. No Jawa's to be found though. Rise of the Resistance is kinda overrated as a ride but its immersion was very good. There are a few things they could easily add that would make it even better. Such as three or four more Imperial officers *directing* the prisoners/guests. One had her controlling role down pat. At least as far as you could get away with at Disney with kids around. Did it once, but didnt really have a strong desire to do it a second time due to the wait times (often 2 hours). Smugglers Run was much better as a ride. Oga's Cantina was the best part of Galaxy's Edge though. Which is why its so hard to get rezzers for it. Right at the bar both times I was there enjoying my evening drink before calling it a day. Great bartenders. One of which had the 'annoyed' attitude and actions (like the one from ANH) down pretty good. If you ever plan to go, get at least two dates as a way to cap off a long day of walking and waiting. They do have non-alcoholic options if you prefer. Unfortunately, because of Covid, all the usual character meet+greets were not there like Darth Vader. Which was a shame. But I heard that they are working on trying to restore meet and greets everywhere as soon as possible, maybe by the big Christmas celebration. There were two stormtroopers perfectly in character, guarding a ship, interacting with the crowds. I was taking a video of one and he stood there staring me with a 'who the fuck are you' vibe. Whoever was inside the Chewy suit was always fully in character in his mannerisms even when listening to his 'handler'. One thing I 'didnt' do was the little cup of blue milk however. Even for Disney it was horribly overpriced considering it is just coconut milk with, I was told, some kind of almond sweetener. There was an alcoholic version, with rum I think, that cost twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

In the past it used to be more of a party and festival. But I suppose because of covid its now just to provide lower crowds. But it was but still pretty crowded. However I did get to go on a couple rides several times each over the last 30-45 minutes. Maybe would have been worth it if it applied to every park, with more desirable rides, not just the MK.
