I don’t agree at all. But to each his own.Going to throw this out there: the land opened before any settled path or warnings were issued to the state. No airlines or hotels were offering free cancellations or rebookings. I don't believe Disney is unlucky, instead they got lucky they have a scape goat.
Also, by opening the park so early they have spread out the demand so much that any comparison is not going to be accurate. I think it's pretty evident they're meeting demand.
They cut projections in half before the hurricane was a concern.The only reason this is happening is because of the incoming hurricane. All the hardcore Star Wars, theme park, and Disney junkies already visited the park yesterday. STGE unfortunately opened during a really unlucky time. Not even Disney could of predicted this. Trust me things are bad over here. I live in Miami Florida and the stores are packed with people buying supplies. Nobody is thinking about visiting a theme park over here.
Of course it matters. When a new expensive land opens for a park it’s all about the numbers.Does any of this really matter? In the long term this is all going to be fine. Can we move on?!

Oh? I wish I had your confidence. This could have major implications going forward.And I guarantee the numbers will turn out fine in the long run...
I 100% agree with you. But the opening is very important. It determines if Disney will invest in Star Wars again at this scale.And I guarantee the numbers will turn out fine in the long run...

This board wouldn’t exist if we didn’t talk about theory, conjecture and new additions. No one wants this to fail. Success is good for everyone.
Just as sure as you are that this will be fine some are looking at the numbers vs the changed projections. Investment can be slowed if they don’t feel the numbers are where they should be. With what was announced at D23 being mostly stuff we already knew about we might never know if something got cut as a potential fallout. So yes, everything will look fine eventually. We just want Disney and as a result Universal to continue major investments like this.
I've mentioned this in the past, but I don't see it as a negative because when I see pictures of SWGE or when I was there yesterday, I felt Star Wars oozing from the land, I don't think of Epcot's Morocco at all.If you removed all the space ships and signage from GE, and you walked through it, would you be able to recognize it as Star Wars? For me, having visited Epcot the other day, it looks a lot like Morocco.
I get it, but the issue is this has been hammered on since Disneyland's opened... the conversation is going no where...
All the reports I'm hearing from people who went for the opening have been positive and it looks stunning. Looking forward to experiencing it myself once ROTR opens.
It's really too early to call this a success or failure, or say if it will truly affect future investment.
I just hope it makes them rethink opening a new land without it's flagship attraction in the future (although based on the Avengers Crapess it looks like they are doing it all again...)
Those visuals sell, and make people who aren't there feel like they're missing something special.
