I think some people are inclined toward the perception that Disney "cheaped out" on the $1 billion land for their own reasons or have been led that way by others working to shape that perception for their own reasons. No matter what Disney does, no matter how reasonable it is in context, just about as many people are going to have negative impressions regardless.Adding hopscotch instead of roaming aliens or Resistance training feeds the perception that Disney cheaped out on a land with two much dead space and pay-to-play attractions, and is scrambling
Well, that really stinks for Disney, since it probably means this land was doomed, from a public perception standpoint, from the get-go. But even in that context, ... hopscotch? They need some twenty-something skilled with Twitter and Instagram to tell them how these ideas are going to play on social media before they launch
I do think if Disney came out and announced that starting Thanksgiving week, there would be a daily stunt show in Batuu, people would be very excited.
Agreed. In the big scheme of things putting a hopscotch game on the ground amounts to very little IMO. The keys are Safety, courtesy, show and efficiency, in that order. A game of hopscotch falls under courtesy, we don't have context as to what it is called by Batuuans so that might add into show.
and this is actually part of their show. The Batuuans citizens don't know much about life outside of Batuu, if you ask them about Vader or Leia or Yavin IV, they will answer with "I've heard legends, what do you know about it?" making the guest part of the story and actually the guest is the one providing information. Then, with this brand new info the Batuuans can have a bit more knowledge. So the game may very well be "imported" from off worlders who told them their kids enjoy this back home.
Ignite the Spark!!
IMHO, this was one of the best parts of my Batuu experience! My friend was wearing a Vader shirt and was asked who it was and why she was wearing it. I made a mention to a CM about "Disney" and was asked "what is a Disney?" Hilarity ensued (on my part, anyway) as I tried to explain that "it's a sort of city-state that can be a lovely place to visit, but only if you adhere to some VERY strict rules and regulations. Kind of like the First Order."
Well, it isn't though, because there are always a lot of naysayers but the guests still come in larger and larger numbers.
In 1998, I bought my family and my brother's family to Disney. The kids had a great time, but the most fun they had was playing in the water feature in Downtown Disney, something truly anyone with a car could access for free. While it wasn't the entirety of the trip, sometimes it is great when there is something for the kids that they want, regardless of how little it cost to provide.
no age restriction just remember you will most likely get a high bar table with no seating, only about 20% of the cantina has seating.So we plan on being at HS Friday Oct 25th. We will more than likely wait to enter SWGE until later in the day. Looks like from what I've seen on the thread the evening time is one of the best times to go. I am seeing a few open reservations for the Cantina that night as well. Is it really necessary to have an ADR and also is there an age restriction on entering the Cantina? Personally I just want to go in and experience the atomosphere. My apologies if this question has been asked in the thread alreay. Thanks!

Of course! My son loves the Kai Spinners at Legoland, which are literally the exact same playground equipment at the park down the road
Thanks, appreciate it. Shall do
