Toy Story Land - General Discussion

[Galaxy Defender]

I would love to see the actual numbers. Strip out the park hoppers and those that went in, left, and came back. What is the actual attendance? For park hoppers, they can count them if DHS was the first park visited.

If only we all had access to all the parks attendance numbers.ray:

Need to know basis and I don't really need to know.

It's reading things like this that makes me think that staying on site and getting a FP 60 days out instead of 30 is an absolute must.

Nah don't reward Disney for not having enough attractions on top of charging resort guests for parking and cutting back on extra magic hours.

I'm looking at this from many different angles. If I stay at Universal for 15 days, I'm staying at Aventura or CBBR since I can't justify the cost of staying at Royal Pacific. If I stay at Disney for a week, I get all the benefits like FP, Magic Bands, charging to my room etc plus I won't be paying for parking (I'm from the UK) which saves me $22 a trip to Disney or more if I need to get an Uber if I want to drink in Epcot, plus the $12 a day parking at a Universal hotel (I know that the more expensive hotels charge more). Staying at Pop Century is the same price as CBBR or Aventura so I'm saving money on parking plus I don't need to drive because of Magical Express and a good transport system within WDW and I can pick a car up at Disney on my last day no problem and drive to Universal.

Overall, staying at Disney will save me about $400 which I can then put towards staying at Royal Pacific. Granted I'll have fewer days on site at Universal but I'll probably still visit the parks the same amount of time and I'll save a huge amount of time by having Express Pass and get the benefit of staying in a much nicer room, closer to the parks and major benefit of being able to skip the queues for restaurants at CityWalk.

I had planned on getting free Disney Dining but from what I can see, all the deals are more expensive than buying it separately plus I feel like I'd be dining to justify the cost.

It doesn't get said very often now but it's actually cheaper to do things the Disney way.

I usually rent a car to go to/from UNI from our Disney hotel. With the new parking charge going into effect, we'll use Uber more. It's like $18 each way but still worth it. However, I want to stay at Portofino Bay at least one time just to say I did.

Two words: budget. Cuts.

Looks like the exterior might be fronted by trees that will be a better look from Star Wars.

From Bio,

 

[mbreen603]

After looking at the recent aerials from @bioreconstruct, I'm actually am surprised on how well everything looks in the pictures. At a first quick glance, it actually almost looks like a small toy set very similar to the model! Even though I do think something a bit better could have been placed here, I think they really hit it off with their theme and will actually feel like we are part of some play set!

 

[Disneyhead]

I have to admit, it looks better than I thought it would. I think it will actually look better than the concept art when it's done.

I like the trees around the coaster especially. I only wish that they would add a water feature. Even just a meandering stream or something like that.

 

[Magic-Man]

I’m liking the look of the land, but I wish the entrance was in a better spot. It looks so crowded and squeezed in.

 

[Miketheboss]

This looks like fun to just be in.

From Bioconstruct:

 

[Miketheboss]

So the roller coaster will have an AA? That was unexpected.

Slinky coaster looks pretty mild, but that's probably what they were going for.

Looks like there's going to be more than one.

Certainly an off year for Disney and Universal

No, just Universal.

 

[snayberry]

The land looks pretty cool.

there is?


No, just Universal.

No, just Universal.

How about we let TSL open first?

I think Sea World will be the 2018 ride winner in Florida.

Universal will hit a home run with their new night time show. They will also do well with a full year of volcano bay and their solid filler indoor dark ride FF. (Every time I have been on a FF the average park guest seems to be enjoying the ride a lot more than many on these and other forums would like to admit.)

Disney will be pushing their Six Flags open air family coaster with a spin ride (with over the top lines and poor capacity) and some new dessert parties.

Ok, I'll have to admit. TSL is going to be a pain this summer but i think as attention shifts towards Galaxy's Edge and the public puts less pressure on this land, it's shining features will come through.

The rides look like a lot of fun and the land's colorful appearance will be a nice juxtaposition when put next to the rustic, metallic land of Batuu.

Sure, it's going to go through some growing pains but when you are in the park, pushing through star wars fans desperate to take a rest, you'll be thankful for a place like TSL that can put the smile back on your face.
