How you pilot the Falcon will matter, bad pilots may have different experiences.

From laughing place...

"The Star Wars Lands take place on a planet that houses a spaceport that has fallen by the wasteside. It is now home to smugglers, bounty hunters, and other types of scoundrels."

New characters throughout the land.

"Food will be cooked using a converted pod racer engine. Blue Milk of course."

"You will be able to assist the Resitence, support the First Order, or take a job from a bounty hunter. The storytelling will happen around you."

"You and your flight crew will control the Millenium Falcon. You won't just ride it. Each person will have a different role."

"Choices will matter. It will not be the same experience for everyone."

"The First Order vs. The Resistence attraction is described as the most epic attraction ever built at Disney."

"Disney has developed a new technology that brings realistic lightsabers into the real world."

"They will be sharing more info about the stories and characters of Star Wars Land at the D23 Expo in July."

Star Tours in WDW to get new destination from The Last Jedi planet Crait, no word on Disneyland.

Sounds to me like a confirmation of Star Tours at Disneyland going away. Perhaps they'll recycle the simulators for a potential Iron Man experience at DCA.

We'll see, but I'd be surprised if it stays.

Rumor

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

It's been years since I last visited the Tiki Room, but even I'd be a little upset to see it go.

Wonder if this has any relation to Club 33 coming to the park? Doubt it, but this is the first I've heard this rumor.

Not related to club 33 but it's not seeing the foot traffic and Disney is taking notice.

I read where they are doing 3 shows a day after beauty and the beast gets over for the day. Don't know if that is correct or not. Forget where I read it.

I read it in the MouseSavers Newsletter for April:

"The Music of Pixar Live! Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Starting May 26, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will present The Music of Pixar LIVE! A Symphony of Characters. This limited-time concert event will showcase music from Pixar Animation Studios films, complete with a live orchestra and appearances by Disney•Pixar characters. The Music of Pixar LIVE! will be presented three times nightly at Theater of the Stars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (following the regular daily performances of Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage). An end date has not been announced."

Sounds a little bit like a modified Mission: Space

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo That might drive me to become a Disneyland regular. We love the Tiki Room. It would be like getting rid of Carousel of Progress, just because it doesn't see enough traffic. They should get rid of Tony's first, but since it makes money, they will keep it around.

the fact it is WDW only and it will still be at DLR makes it easier to take for me ... as long as there is one (ideally the original) around for the next generations to see I am ok.

and that is the better version - similar to how I am ok with them changing out the ToT in DLR if they are keeping the (better) one in WDW

But then I still have to go to both coasts to get my Walt fix, Tiki and COP. At least both still have Tom Sawyer Island and the riverboat. I do like DLR Tiki Room better too, but there's a lot of nice stuff at WDW too Face it. I need to live 6 months in Florida and 6 months in Southern California to get my proper fix Maybe even quit my job and work at both
