Well, just saw the Solo trailer (teaser?)

Certainly looked better than I feared (looked a bit darker/more serious) but could just be good editing for the trailer

It was too quick for me to get a read on it, looking forward to a longer trailer. Sets looked okay at least...

This is how I felt. I'm intrigued by the teaser but I'd like to see longer trailers to get a better feel. Then again teasers are supposed to draw you in as you are wanting more.

I agree looked interesting but you don’t hear anything from Solo a lot rides on that performance.

For those noting the ever higher crowds, keep in mind we're seeing the lowest unemployment numbers in the last 12 years. Also the consumer confidence index is the highest it's been since 2007. Not only that, it's been pretty great since 2015. Things have been good for the "average" person for the last 3-4 years, more and more people are probably saving up or have saved up to visit Disney World and Disneyland and now they're finally going. I overhear people at work saying "We might take the kids to Disney World this summer..." so there's that.

Also likely thanks to the plethora of information on websites and social media, people are trying to find the lowest crowd times in order to get the most bang for their buck, and perhaps all of that has now backfired. Early summer is hot, but downright tolerable crowd-wise. But for the next 5-6 years I'm definitely only able to visit during school breaks so I'll take what I can get.

I think you’re dead on re: the economy. I think that in recent years we’ve seen the impact of 1) Disney’s myriad festivals evening out seasonality a good deal, and 2) plethora of info as you say available direct from Disney and many other sources.

But this big bump this year strikes me as having more to do with the economy which has really jumped this year, than with those other two factors that have been building/true for some time now.

The Solo trailer didn’t make me feel any better honestly. But it’s also a teaser and thus felt rushed and all over the place, so hopefully the full thing is better

It got me more excited. Tomorrow will be the real look at it though.

Yeah, those are all some good contributing factors. Plus, the economy has actually been great for a couple years now, so I do think people see the prices and want to save up or perhaps are doing a cruise one year, disney world another, etc. But I also think with all the facebook groups that are out there, people are asking "when can we go with low crowds?" and this happens. Between that and the holiday parties and the summer heat, maybe more people are looking for non-traditional times.

The Han Solo teaser didn’t look half bad but then again it’s just a teaser. When the movie comes out in May I’m gonna go into it with an open mind.

Bleh, nothing I have seen thus far shows they will do this justice. I am a fan otherwise of the marvel movies (despite a little heavy on the CG at times, esp X-men and Spider Man). But I read the original Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War series, there is just no hope of any movie being able to be that epic, involve that many characters, and do it all justice.

Wow. I’m extremely excited for this film and based on what I saw on twitter I am far from the only one. I haven’t read the comics though.

lmao. They have released 19 *highly* successful movies, including 2 about a tree and a talking raccoon that nobody (especially me) thought would be worth anything. But the 20 second teaser tells you they can't pull it off? Yea, ok.

Maybe instead of clinging to a movie replicating a few hackney'd pages from a mid 1980's comic book, you ought to go into this for what it is - the culmination of 20 movies worth of build up.

Or not.

I guarantee it won't be the same as the original series though, because it isn't being written by two guys who can literally make up anything they want while another guy inks it in a week.

I like comic books here and there, but on the whole even the best runs are filled with complete crap. There is a reason we have hundreds of characters with dozens of titles released per year, and yet only a handful are actually remembered as good storylines.

On the other hand, the MCU track right is essentially spotless comparatively.

well, X-Men is fox so hard to compare them to the Disney MCU marvel movies. I do agree pulling off a movie with that many characters is going to be a challenge and could turn into more of a jumble and just sort of eye-candy of action vs coherent story. But they have pulled off the movies that feature a lot of characters pretty well so far, and seems things have really been building to this one so hopefully they pull it off

and more importantly I won the half time score in my office box pool with the unlikely point combination of 2-2
