News Round Up 2019

I have an extremely hard time believing they will build anything in SWGE that only holds 30 people. It's not like they have JK Rowling telling them how they have to do things.

I kinda envision Oga's as a super 'plussed' Star Wars version of La Cava del Tequila, which had the bar area, sit down area and a limited food menu. I question the max occupancy of 30, but that would put it around La Cava size? If we remember how crazy the lines were when La Cava opened I can easily see them enforcing a time limit for your visit as Oga's wait will be insane

Interesting. Is the max occupancy really just 30 people? I’m assuming this will be the place to get the tiki mugs? On one hand, like that they will take steps to help more experience it. But 30?? Have they learned nothing from La Cava? And I’m surprised to hear budget cuts mentioned. They are going to be printing money...

It is small, but I think it is more than 30 ... maybe they mean initially? Or only 30 seats?
My understanding is there are 9 alcoves around the end but one is for the DJ - so there are 8 with booths for guests. If those hold 4 people each that would be 24 and then I think there are a handful of seats directly at the bar, but not sure if that is 6 or 8 or 12 ... so if the booths can hold 6 and if the bar has 12, that would be 48 max seats ... but I've also seen it worded that "majority of guests will stand" ... so I think there are at least 30 seats and then room for at least that many to stand

I believe it has been said that seating in the Cantina is limited.

Hmm interesting they are going to go with a 1 Hour Max time, and not a "2" drink max like at Trader Sams

There is no max drink amount at Trader Sam's. Or at least, never when I've been there.

I think they might have that 2 drink max on top of the 1 hour limit (as I know in MK they do a 2 drink max and I believe they said they will do the same for GE in DLR ... not sure about the DHS one) ... I think the 1 hour limit is to prevent people from just hanging out. I mean, even two drinks and just hanging out and having fun and people watching, I could stay for hours

River Country just a pile of dirt at this point in preparation for Reflections

Definitely a bit sad to see as River Country is one of the memories I have from my most early visits to WDW

I'd rather they get rid of free dining and give resort and AP discounts still, but hopefully this is a good omen.

Why wish that they would take away something that works for so many? Free Dining may not be a savings to you but there are 1000's of families who are able to visit Disney because of it. I don't begrudge you wanting AP and resort discounts but not at the expense of removing something else.

This isn’t a hill I’m willing to die on or anything (!!), but I’d be really surprised if anyone has any sort of proof that a fan site maintaining such a list dictates Disney’s repair schedule one iota. Could be wrong.

I will say I used to work at a major airline, I personally got involved in fixing things that had been posted on social media. Usually temporary repairs that were full safe, but didn't look right to the flying public.

But basically what you are saying is you don't believe Disney cares what their customers think and don't care about providing the appearance of a well taken care of park.

So yes Trader Sams officially has a 2 Drink Max, but I have never been stopped from ordering more either, I think its more so to encourage people to feel obligated to move along and let others in, but it is not really enforced unless someone I assume is dangerously Inebriated.

It’s a shame it was closed and abandoned. Best we can hope for now is some sort of homage in the retirement village’s pool.

I guess it’s impossible for anybody to truly see all Disney Parks now.

They really don't, though. You're literally the only person I've ever seen say that.

But better to be something new than to just rot away! I too remember the intertube ride with the last fall giving you a little boost into the lake. Was neat place back in the day.
