No argument there. Still unsure why Florida doesn't have one either!

Because it's super expensive, and considering it hasn't be cloned anywhere I'm willing to bet it hasn't generated revenue to make up for how expensive it is.

I'm just amazed that Disney somehow made a cheap land look even cheaper. It does not inspire confidence in the "big" projects coming

Why are there so many disappointed people with this expansion? What were we 'Supposed' to get vs what we are getting?

The dog Coaster
Alien Kiddie ride

What? What were we supposed to get? I'm confused.

I’m pretty sure Cars Land was an exclusive deal for California? Pretty sure it ended by now but Star Wars and Marvel came to play for all the resorts.

Pandora sure doesn't look cheap to me. I'm quite confident in SWGE. We knew from the beginning that TSL was a filler area.

Cars Land was a DCA only attraction and was given a few years to be there only before the other resorts could decide to copy it.

Nah. The percentage of people that travel to multiple Disney resorts is miniscule. It's not something they take into consideration when building things

For me, it's not what we're getting as opposed to how much space it's eating up and only getting a whip ride and a coaster. It's not like DHS has a ton of land to play with and they really put 11 acres to really poor use here imo.

Was Cars Land more Expensive than Pandora?

I've never been (Never ever will go to California) so I hope CarsLand is great, but I got a chance to do Pandora except the main ride. I love the land but the boat ride is too short. Pandora seems to sell merch like crazy though .

I think they were close to the same. I'd call them about the same quality wise, as well. Lots of pretty rockwork, main rides that are 1/2 great and 1/2 meh, and as overall lands they just feel kind of empty.

Cars Land was cheaper. $1 Bil included the park's entire makeover, Pandora cost almost $1 bil itself.
However, Cars Land feels a lot more "alive" than Pandora with all the character interactions and different places to shop/eat.

I generally am open minded with land expansions here in Orlando. I'll try and do the same for Toy Story Land, as this one is a bit more relatable because Toy Story has always had my favorite Pixar characters.

All I'm truly hoping for is more 'Energy' in this expansion.

That's what Fantasyland was for me. I didn't care for the rides, but now with a little one and even when I was there for 'Work' it felt alive. Pandora certainly feels odd for $1billion but not my money haha.

Not to get too far off topic, but despite how much has been spent on Pandora, an expansion is in the works. Expansion meant to fix current land capacity issues.

Table Service and third ride currently planned.

Definitely. I hope TSL receives character interactions with obviously meet n greets but hopefully walking toy soldiers as well.

I'm not hating on Pandora, I just don't think it achieves the amount of kinetic energy that Cars Land has. It is more immersive however since at Cars Land you can see ToT. A small new expansion should help.

Back to TSL, I think people are underestimating the immersion level of this land as those fences and thick foliage should help hide SWL and any backstage buildings.
