Orange is back on the resort line, but it's not taking passengers yet. I was standing next to some monorail cast members during this shower we're dealing with. They weren't very forthcoming, but they did liken the monorails with having to get up 16-year-olds for school. The monorails all have there own personalities, and they can be stubborn.

Gosh I hope they have more roaming characters. They don't even have to be main ones from the movies, just inhabitants of Galaxy's Edge, to give it some atmosphere. I was watching videos of Disneyland's GE and while it looks cool (design features) it was just lacking...something. It was just tourists walking around, looking at some cool buildings. I don't know what I'm trying to say, but it didn't seem immersive enough. Watching videos of Harry Potter lands blew me away with how immersive it seems. Maybe it will change when I'm there.

I don't know, I was picturing all the characters from the Cantina scene in Star Wars just meandering through the land and the music playing in background. Clearly I was off base. :rotfl:

I've seen a couple videos floating around of Rey and Chewie walking around GE, with them recruiting little kids to hide from storm troopers. It looked fun!

Yeah, it kinda depends. I’ve been to Galaxy’s Edge and seen no wandering characters, but I’ve also been there when Chewy, Rey, Kylo Ren, and Stormtroppers were all out and about, wandering around, with GREAT interactions. I even saw Rey and Chewy “inadvertently” end up in a confrontation with stormtroppers near the marketplace. Definitely very cool.

I also found the costumes of the cast members impressive and really found myself buying in to the fact that that’s there “local” attire. Especially the cast members that were more just wandering and keeping the crowds moving/organized instead of behind a counter at a retail/dining location.
 




I have been wondering this a lot myself lately. Are we finally seeing that threshold? Are people starting to really be priced out?

Honestly I am starting to be! I was going to renew my AP in 2020 and skip this year initially just to save money, but now even that might be a stretch. I definitely wouldn't get the use out of an AP in the 2019-2020 range. It won't be renewed til late 2020 if I do it. I am just starting my full time job and starting to save for like wedding and house and life stuff. Being priced out has been a big bummer.

Really? We love that restaurant, and we eat at least one meal there every trip to WDW

it's not bad - just I can think of 20 WDW restaurants that are better than it.

I think a lot of is is I am definitely a pizza snob bing in the NY Metro area and we have places like that where we can get similar or better pizza at a fraction of the price so when we went and I thought it was "good" and then got the bill and no way it was worth what they charged

When I go to WDW I like to focus on restaurants that are unlike anything I can get near where I live. Similar reason we won't do Teppan Edo as we have several really good teppanyaki places near us that are a fraction of the cots
 
The best thing about Teppan Edo is the iced green matcha on a hot day, Not saying a good Iced tea is the only reason to go to Teppan Edo or should be the only reason to go to a restraunt, Im just saying I really enjoy that portion of my meal the best.

That's my sentiment when people rave about any of the seafood/New Englandy places. I refuse to eat lobster in Florida no matter how good someone might think that it is haha. I went to Boathouse for the first time a couple weeks ago and though it was nice I was like there are 5 of these with different names down the street from me.
