Getting excited. Just a matter of weeks now before we are there for opening weekend. It's going to be a madhouse; although, not as bad as Pandora.

Its interesting how much still needs to be done at Volcano Bay though. That will definitely be a crazy theme park week.

The more I read and watch about Star Wars Land/Experience, the more I think this will be the best theme park experience ever built. Scott Trowbridge worked on Potter and knows what immersion is. The people working on this project are true Star Wars fans and they are using people directly from LucasFilm and ILM. Droids walking about, streetmosphere all around you, the detail. I think Pandora is going to be great but I think this will be even beyond that.

I think that is why they didn't add Rogue One because it's not part of the trilogies.

I guess, but honestly if we're being realistic with their alleged timeline for the ride anything from the new trilogy makes zero sense. But obviously that's not their reasoning behind adding it

Rumor

Enchanted Tiki Room to close at MK. Replacement yet to be determined.

Damn that's kinda shame. I'm not gonna hype it up into something that isn't but it's kinda cool in itself

Rumor

More Star Wars Land details to be announced at D23 Expo in July

Hopefully I'll be in the audience when they announce that news! The theme parks panel is the only one I really want to go to.

Rumor

Enchanted Tiki Room to close at MK. Replacement yet to be determined.

This makes me sad even though I prefer the Disneyland version more.

NNNnnnnnoooooooooooo

Rumor

Disney is going to build a Star Wars boutique resort.

Boutique, of course, being the polite way to say "expensive"

Although I assume it also implies that it will be on the small side and probably very highly themed/immersive

Rumor

Disney is going to build a Star Wars boutique resort.

Tell me this is not true! Something else I'll giving my money to Disney for, unless the rates are just incredibly outrageous.

The tiki room rumor is interesting. When I did the dinner with an Imagineer a while ago a big thing we talked about was closing things, whether that be a restaurant or an attraction or what have you.

The biggest challenge with that is figuring out what can occupy that space.

The tiki room is so small I can't imagine what they could replace it with. The previous posters comment about the club 33 made sense, that could certainly fit.

Expect major outrage from me if they were to close a classic MK attraction for the ultimate upsell.

Any projected date for this?

Tiki Room closure - After the outcry a few years ago when they tried the "Under New Management" change, I'm kind of surprised they are even considering this.
