Disney Star Wars Experience (Anaheim & Orlando) opening this year

[Hagbard Celine 10,848]

it looks beyond cool, but will be so over-run that it is impossible to experience anything like what the concept artwork indicates.

someone who goes, get me a jedi holycron please (to be reimbursed, of course).

2 things caught my attention:

Quote

Guests are assigned specific, four-hour windows during which they can visit. Each guest with a reservation will receive a wristband that indicates when they are allowed in. Once their allotted time is over, Disney employees dressed as Imperial stormtrooper soldiers from the “Star Wars” films will escort them out. (Guests who leave early into their reservation window won’t be allowed re-entry.)

and

Quote

Be prepared to stand in line for several hours

Sounds like a bad experience.

I’ve only been to Disney in California. Despite trying to go midweek, when kids are in school, etc the crowds have been intolerable, taking the joy out of even the old attractions.  I can’t imagine how long it will be until this new Star Wars attraction can be experienced without a crazy long wait marring the experience. I hope to find out one day.

They say that on the Millenium Falcon ride, your experience depends on the skill of the person who's piloting. So if you're on the ride, and you're being piloted by some 6 year-old high on blue milk and pop rocks who decides to ram every asteroid in sight, well them's the breaks.

Plus, $200 to buy a light saber.
