Incorporating Moana would be ok but substituting the birds FOR her will make me sad

If it is just like a more concrete thing where it is almost the same as paying for a wand in the Wizarding World allows you to interact with things... I think that is one thing

If it becomes like lootcrates I think that will be a disaster and really make me not happy

Not gonna lie, it tickles me that we have a Voldemort of the Disney rumor world.

Unfortunately this is a rumor that’s been around before and isn’t completely crazy. I wouldn’t be shocked if it did happen.

I don't think an overlay would be a bad thing to draw some more people in. I could see maybe a brief narration or song incorporation without taking away too much from the show itself. At least the Tiki Room and Moana share a Polynesian theme already.

As long as Hei Hei is there.

For me as long as they keep the Tiki Room theme song I guess I could go with it.

I am shocked that SWGE doesn't sell actual "datapads" as a prop that has the app built-in. (like the wands). Seems like a missed opportunity there -- immersion, a souvenir to sell .. win-win. Probably just too costly compared to a wand.

We haven't visited the Tiki Room in over 10 trips but this overlay would get us to go again!

I do recall some chatter early on that there would be some way to "use the force" in the lands - whether by buying a lightsaber or something else you wear that enables it and you'd be able to make things move or whatever -... but guess in the end they didn't go that route

but yeah, even something like an add on for phones or something to "enable" the blue tooth technology to work and have things in the land happen. Guess this is another way to do it

I went to add Memory Maker for my trip starting July 4th and the $169 option is no longer available. I am over three days out but it is only giving me a $199 option. Was this part of the price increases as well?

I maybe late to the party but I found MM showing $169

I agree as long as the keep the Tiki Bird theme Song I will be happy, after all its a Disney Iconic Song, it would be like getting rid of Yo Ho Yo Ho in pirates
