Super random question. Do we have official names of what these new lands are going to be? Is it officially Toy Story Land and Star Wars Experience? Like, is that what the area will be labelled on the maps?

Nothing official yet.

 

[rteetz]

Nothing official yet.

I would assume toy story land stays toy story land though. Star Wars could very well change.

Maybe this is why we're getting all the lame upsells - they reek of desperation...

I recently sold all my Disney stock because of this - I think Disney is in deep doo-doo without a real solution.

This sounds like Disco 70s or something...not a fan.

Rumor

Drones to be tested in Illuminations as early as next spring?

This could be a very cool addition to Illuminations. (Hopefully while they work on Illuminations 2.0) It's the -perfect- show and area for this tech.

I still don't think it will end up being as widespread as people predict, but that's just my opinion. One way or another, these will certainly be an amazing show element - especially as this tech continues to evolve.

I suppose I'm a cynic but i wouldn't put sw land in the same category as hp until it's finished.

I agree but for opposite reasons. I think SW will up the game. I'm skewing optimistic.

 

[Travis B]

Wizzarding world is amazing as it's taken straight from the movies and re-created.

What I love about Star Wars land is that it's based on a new planet and not taken from the films so gives them some more freedom. It has to be as emmersive as Harry Potter or I won't be happy

For this reason exactly I believe Universal sometimes gets too much credit for HP. They absolutely deserve credit for the execution, but it's someone else's design.

And an incorrect opinion it is.

Going to see this next Friday. SO EXCITED.

LOL! If I'm wrong I'll buy you a beer!

 

[SonicSunglasses]

Oof. That reeks of bell-bottoms and platform soles.
