Universal had to try and counter Disney

Only countering I think may work is announcing their third gate.

or Nintendo land or something ... a night time show is not going to cut it today

Actually, probably just going to get lost, might have been better off just waiting a day or two

Yep, kind of an odd move.

I don't discriminate, I'm excited by all the announcements.

I'll be happy watching the new Halloween Castle show at universal and I'll also be happy throwing elbows to try to make a purchase at galaxies' edge.

"The loop closest to the park entrance (and right next to the new restrooms) is the least finished so far."

You'd think this would be more of a priority. View attachment 385252

I saw this up close on Saturday after the 10k, it doesn't look like it'll be done before April. That said, it is the smallest and may just be easiest to finish if work on the others is complete.

Just Announced: New Ways to Enhance Disney Cruise Line Vacations with Adventures by Disney in 2020

Sounds like they are just in the Cantina and you have to finish them there

And from the Hollywood Reporter article, this line concerns me:

“Oga’s — likely the most popular spot because, come on, it is a Star Wars cantina — may be a tight fit when guests pour in (no pun intended). ”


If that is the only place to get the drinks and you have to finish them there, people will not want to leave quickly .... feels like they will have to have a FP or ADR or some sort of system for getting into the Cantina

They will probably find a way to do this like Trader Sam's @ the Poly, where it's 2 drinks. At least that's the posted sign in there. I only had 2 and didn't think to ask for a third, but I'm a rule follower.

That's two drinks any person with ID can order at one time. That sign is posted everywhere alcohol is served at WDW. You can totally sit in Trader Sam's for hours and have more than two drinks.

Shew, I had to look over my shoulder with huge long feelings of guilt.

I think there's only been one time I've had two drinks or less there, and that was only because we didn't make the first group in then had to leave to get to a dinner reservation so we only had time for the one.

Once I made it right before closing and only had one but most of the time I drain my bank account there.
