Or perhaps the ones they sell to the "visitors" could just dissolve (environmentally friendly, of course) over time, so that they would always have room for new ones.....

even better - seems like there were alternatives vs just "well, now they are all gone and this is why you can't have nice things"

Exactly. I’d think guests adding their own, though something they shouldn’t do, would actually make it look more authentic and real. If BSO was real, the assortment of ribbons would not be static.

The land is not fully open yet and they keep taking things away. It’s very irritating. Hopefully the additions they gave hints about come next year.

yeah, I agree - especially since I haven't gotten there yet - going for first time in February to WDW which is only like 6 months after land opened there and so I am maybe too sensistive of not getting the "full" experience by the time I get tehre

not to mentioned still being creative lead for all Star Wars projects - that is a lot for him to do!

Interesting they are creating that new role that is a leader just to focus on parks, resorts, and cruise ships. Obviously depends on who that person is but seems like that is a positive for the parks

A position focusing on delivery which will focus on deadlines. Hopefully that means fewer delays in big projects.

and hopefulyl better management about what and when details get out - feels like often they announce the scope of things and then budgets get cut and the end result is less than the initial promise

I am looking into tickets for our trip in February and am debating between this 4 park ticket or the 4+2 ticket .... Also thinking about one of the Extra Morning Magic hours events - I could do the 4 park ticket & the early Morning Magic on on MK day for about the same price as the 4+2 ticket (no hopper) on Undercover Tourist. With the later, we would then have an "off" day in the middle of our trip for pool and Disney Springs, etc.

I was thinking about this as well. But our trip in March is going be 2xMK 2xDHS 1xEpcot. Won't really work out for us.

When we asked a nearby citizen of Batuu why the “wishes” were gone, we were told that “Savi didn’t like that visitors were adding their own wishes,” as the tree is “for villagers only.”

Sounds like guests were ruining the immersion

yeah, the one argument against it for us was would limit us to just on DHS day and this is our "Galaxy's Edge" trip, but figure the EMM will let us get everything we want/need done in MK and then we will just make our DHS day as long as possible and try to spend as much time in GE that we can - wont' do much else in DHS
