They announced it would open before the year ended, so that part didn't surprise me. But yes, surprised that it is opening before DL.News of Disney World getting Rise of the Resistance not only this year, but before Disneyland, is shocking to me.
Disney must be at least partially attributing the (relative) commercial flop of Galaxy’s Edge in DL to a delayed ROTR. Based on the wording on the parks blog, it’s all hands on deck at WDW. They are trying to ensure WDW’s Galaxy’s Edge meets their expectations financially.
I hope it's true. It's very long overdue!
A bridge is something I would love! I enjoy walking from the TTC to the Grand right now since it is a very relaxing path. If I can do a daily walk from the TTC to the Contemporary (the long way), that would be awesome!

And just like that, the MK hotels are BACK IN PLAY!!!
If this really comes to fruition, it could convince us to finally try the Grand Floridian one day. We could walk to MK and to the TTC! (past the Poly)
Agreed, this would make me so happy! I am only staying at CR for a short split this fall because of the walk back after MNSSHP. I would love to have that option at GF!A bridge is something I would love! I enjoy walking from the TTC to the Grand right now since it is a very relaxing path.

I just hope this doesn’t mean the end of the water pageant.
That would be very sad! I saw the staging area and heard them testing it during one of my Conch Key stays. It was a highlight of that room!I just hope this doesn’t mean the end of the water pageant.
I love the Conch Key building at GF, it deff has a few water view rooms that have the added benefit of not being official park view rooms but still afford you that luxuryThat would be very sad!

Disney needs to realize the value of being able to walk. They should create walking paths from as many hotels to parks as they can, even if a mile or more. They could rent divvy bikes for the paths!
Seriously, living in a walkable city, I hate visiting places that don't have usable sidewalks.
I enjoy a good walk - but I am coming from the other side - we don't have any sidewalks near us and used to driving everywhere
no idea what divvy bikes are but could be neat if they had pikes or those Lime Scooter things or something for people to use and have them parked at the hotels and the park entrances
In Milwaukee we have Bublr bikes which is the same concept.Divvy bikes (and now scooters) are rentable bikes that are placed throughout the city. You can rent one for as long as you want and return them to whatever station you are near. Disney could conceivably build these walking/bike paths and have Divvy stations at each park entrance. Relatively cheap transportation.
Obviously not everyone's tastes, but I'm sure there are a lot of people like me and Micky who would love a good walk or bike ride to the parks.

Looks like our Sept, Oct, January plan worked out well. Although we figured first week of Sept would just be a relaxing trip before SWGE we're excited to be there early on. Then our first week of January we can do RotR. October may be our relaxing(ish) trip. Fun times!!
