Why would you? There’s nothing here outside of them and all the tourist stuff wouldn’t exist without them.
My dad used to visit for golf but it was easy and cheap enough to get flights because it was a vacation hotspot.

Spot on. Vegas is also only a 3 hour drive away.
I love Orlando but if if it wasn’t for the parks, I don’t think I’d ever visit.
No one would know what Orlando is if it wasn't for the parks.
That's the way that most tourist destinations are. If it wasn't for the casinos no one would go to Las Vegas. If it wasn't for the beach, Miami would just be another southern port town. If it wasn't for the ski resorts no one would go to Aspen. Any attractions or activities outside of the areas primary draw is icing on the cake. In that respect, I think Orlando has improved.Why would you? There’s nothing here outside of them and all the tourist stuff wouldn’t exist without them.
Well I hope they do exclusive soft openings for the higher level passes.Disneyland SoCal Select APers when they notice the RotR opening is when there’s no blackout dates:

Agree. Something like this would be cool.
I wonder what their internal guest surveys, especially by demographic, are saying. I'd think the teenage kids and 20 somethings love the ride and land. Not sure what the other age groups are thinking, except, I'd just about bet the over 50's generally don't care for the concept getting away from the original trilogy and the gaming aspects of SR.
Am I cynical for thinking this is extremely convenient timing for a leak from inside the ride :shrug:
For Disney's sake, this attraction better be way better than just good. They've been building it up like it's the second coming. Expectations will be stratospheric. ....Of course, I hope it is that excellent.
Have they been building it or has the enthusiast community been building it up?
When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base.
Ehhh... Disney's promoting their ride. Multiple AP holders that I know (a few friends, my mom, brother, sister, etc) don't even know that this ride is a thing, let alone the name or any hype. It's the bubble we are constantly in here in the theme park community - it magnifies everything.For Disney's sake, this attraction better be way better than just good.

Agreed. I haven't seen them marketing this or building it up any different than they would a normal ride. Like I said above, I know a bunch of casual AP holders who don't even know about this ride. Disney wants to change that.Have they been building it or has the enthusiast community been building it up?
I think it may be too hard to try and describe the experience without them giving too many details and confusing guests as well. I think once the ride actually does open to the public we will see a huge storm of commercials and social media based purely off of the reactions of the ride (asumming this is what we all hope it is) similar to what Universal did with Hagrid in Twitter.Agreed.

I don't see that as building it as the greatest ride ever or the second coming though. That's just straight marketing describing the ride IMO.
