A Look Inside Donald’s Dino-Bash! Celebration at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Ok, I am still really excited to meet Launchpad and Scrooge - but the production quality of that video was like one step below High School AV ... I assume it was to match the "cheapness" of Dinoland, but I don't think it works well

Holy cow, you're not kidding! The 80's called, they want their video equipment back.

It looks like an old Chuck E Cheese commercial or something.

I love retro things - but this was not that in a good way ... I think if that is what they were going for they should have been even more over the top with it

I think everyone should Meet Scrooge. Scrooge I feel has more of a back story in Disney than even Donald, even though Donald is older by quite a few years.

“Update on the Star WarsImmersive Resort Planned for Walt Disney World Resort

by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Editorial Content Manager, Walt Disney World Resort

Last summer, plans for a Star Wars-inspired destination at Walt Disney World Resort were unveiled at the D23 Expo.

Today we are happy to share the location of this exciting addition, which is currently under development on the south side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, just east of World Drive. This location will allow the experience to be seamlessly connected to the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, enabling guests to fully immerse themselves in the story of Star Wars.

This experience stands out among all of our destinations around the globe. Families visiting this destination will board a starship that comes alive with characters and stories that unfold all around them during their voyage through the galaxy – and every cabin window has views of space! Guests visiting the multi-day adventure will also be welcome to participate as a resident of the Galaxy by dressing in Star Wars-inspired attire.

Keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog in the coming months for updates.”

Yeah just confirms the plot of cleared land near DHS is for the hotel. The parks blog has been weird lately in having articles for basically no information or info we don't really need. Things like this or the location of the Space restaurant.

IDK, I thought it was kind of cute, in that cheesy sort of way that you know this is going to be.

This experience stands out among all of our destinations around the globe. (Translation: It will be more expensive than you can imagine.)
Guests visiting the multi-day adventure (Translation: that's 2 days)
will also be welcome to participate as a resident of the Galaxy by dressing in Star Wars-inspired attire. (Translation: You can spend even more on costumes.)
Keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog in the coming months for updates. (Translation: We'll give you updates that you will already be aware of elsewhere.)

Sorry for the sarcasm, but it's impressive how they made an announcement with absolutely zero information we didn't already know.

I think it will be a cruise line type stay so some may be staying 2-3 days, some 4-5, and then 7 being the max. Each having storylines as part of their stay. There will reportedly be one larger main mission while you are staying but also several side mission in order to make sure not everyone is doing the same thing at once. You will be assisted by a "guide" during your stay.

Are you thinking that those missions will take place out in the park? Or inside the resort? It would be interesting to see how they mesh the land and the resort if people are running around the park in costume on a mission of some kind....

In the resort. Some missions may spill into the land but I would think most inside the resort. I don't think you will see people running around the land on a mission especially since this land won't exactly have running room.

To be fair here, the DPB isn't really meant for the kinds of people who read sites like this. I think they mostly hope that clickbait sites will simply report the blog talking points as "11 things you had no idea you were going to want to do soon" listicles.

 

[DISnewjersey]

Star Wars is definitely going to be the most expensive Disney hotel, right? What do you guess the average price will be?

True but then why give something like this or the Space restaurant a full article saying very little and then hide the new Japan signature restaurant in a May top bites article.

At least an arm and a leg, but probably a slightly used kidney too if you want to go all in on the experience.

It will likely depend on your length of stay. This won't be a per night fee type resort as you will have to stay more than one night.
