....having experienced both Avatarland and SW:GE, I prefer Avatarland over the latter. I've ridden FoP 4 times, Navi River twice, Smuggler's Run 3 times and RoTR once. I would NEVER wait longer than an hour for any of the SW rides, but I still get giddy over FoP.I have been in the land. It's very different than the hours and hours of vlogs show. As a "old school" SW fan I'm disappointed that it isn't something familiar - like Mos Eisley for example - but I was impressed. But I can understand why you are not impressed. Even watching hours and hours of vlogs doesn't quite get the feel of the place. I felt exactly the same way before I walked into Pandora; not a fan of the movie, not impressed by all the videos I watched - very impressed when I finally walked into the place.
I agree. RotR is spectacular but I still prefer Pandora over Batuu - it feels like you are in the movie. Batuu wasn't in any movie so I feel like a stranger.....having experienced both Avatarland and SW:GE, I prefer Avatarland over the latter.

I read a great article about how you need to treat Galaxy's Edge like a Renaissance fair. Go in as a character, and interact with the other characters as if its real, not as a tourist expected to be entertained.
I give Disney a LOT of money each time I visit expecting to be entertained...
I want to like it, but I've been there & it just doesn't draw me back. I'd rather spend my time riding RNR & TOT.
I agree with you on the whole - they couldn't please everyone. I just wonder if they had any idea how polarizing their decisions would be.
