The Lounge looks pretty darn nice and I see two sets of beer taps, and zooming in at least a few of them appear to be non-macro brews!

The really outdid themselves with the lounges and the restaurant looks almost dreamlike!

New Pepperoni Spring rolls at MK were pretty good!

Ooh I'm intrigued by this.

Christina Aguilera is now going to be a Disney Legend? Wow.

She was a Mouseketeer in the 90s.

She was a Mouseketeer in the 90s.

I thought she also sang Reflection in Mulan. Interesting timing for this announcement.

No. That was Lea Salonga. The only singer to sing for 2 Disney Princesses I believe (Princess Jasmine).

I stand corrected. She sang the Pop version of “reflection” during the end credits, but Lea Salonga still did the movie version.

Christina did do a version of Reflection.

Christina did do a version of Reflection.

Yep with a music video and everything. It is on the soundtrack to Mulan also and was used pretty heavily to promote the movie. I believe technically it is her first single.

I saw that now. I don’t think the end credit song deserves to be mentioned but the other things I can see why she is being inducted I guess.

This looks like it’s going to be a huge flop. Nobody seems excited about it or is even talking about it. Unless I’m just really missing the boat here, I give it 2 years tops.

I can't see it doing well long term but my fiance is super excited

I just saw this come up on my Google News field. The article is obviously biased and has nothing new to us in it, but I thought it was interesting to see a non-Disney bubble take on SW:GE.

The author needs to take a chill pill, as do many of the commentors. Who gets so riled up about a theme park? And relishes in it "tanking."

The site that must not be named is saying skyliner stations will open August 28th to HS and the Epcot line will open at a later date. I was hoping for a mid-August opening...... Hopefully this is another case of inaccurate rumors.

well, that rumor implied that Aug 28th is only for the POP/AoA to CBR and CBR to DHS lines, the EPCOT line would open later

Seems crazy to me that they're not managing to open this sooner... you'd think they'd want days of steady operation before SWGE opening...

I know though that in terms of Disney it is rubbing people the wrong way that they feel there's way too little Disney-feel and by that I mean the older style of design and I actually get that.

I think you're right -- it's rubbing some people the wrong way... some of the same people voice this over and over on boards. I suspect there are a great many who don't care one bit -- particularly if they are convention-goers or the like. Disney seems to know how to keep hotel rooms pretty booked, so I'm betting they know what they're doing here.

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

Agreed. Strikes me as a shallow article by someone who wanted it to fail. Not that I have a lot of faith in most news sources these days, but I'm not super concerned about what "Cosmic Book News" says... unless I'm missing something here...
