Everyone stopping to make that pose for their Instagram.

is it just me, or does the land look super small? no pun intended.

Going to be a mad house, especially with only one entrance and exit tunnel.

It’s bigger than Diagon Alley is

Yes, and that gets rather crowded. As does Hogsmede.

Yes, popular stuff gets crowded

This is going to get annoying.

We really going to pretend that this isn't you under that emoji?

Surprised that Universal hasn’t considered doing this to UOR’s Schwab’s and Studio Styles/AP Lounge. Seems like a no-brainer that would be an easy money grab and bring Nintendo to UOR in the short term.

Small spaces that get crowded look more popular to the general public that might be planning a visit, than a very large space where it doesn't look crowded. Diagon & Hogsmeade always looks busy. Batu looks slow more than it looks busy.
Similar number of people but a different perception. Batu looks less successful even though it probably has slightly more people, at a normal moment, that Hogsmeade or Diagon.

And these parks tend to have less space to work with than Disney parks usually do. They have to make lands fit where they can

They may have other plans, like a large section of the new CityWalk store?

Plus, this cafe and shop was probably just a last minute decision to sell merch and treats before the land opens next year, and create some fun promotion.

We don’t have a land opening here in orlando in just a few months—maybe many multiple years, so not sure they’re ready to create some anticipation ‘round here.

...Hollywood, on the other hand...

Over on Earth-2 Universe SNW is almost complete in its initially planned KidZone plot

User on themparx.com noted that there are three Pikmin on this shopping bag. A blue pikmin can be found on top of the left lamp post

EDIT: Also Alicia shared this rumor a while back and now it seems to be confirmed.

Close-up. Apologies for double post

 

[jarmor]

Is that bag confirming that hollywood will be opening next year at the same time?

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Hollywood is for 2022. Nowhere near ready for early next year like Japan. Hasn’t even broke ground in Orlando yet so no need to include that name there.

I’m in the age group and I don’t get this stuff either.

It's still closed, yeah, but construction is well under way over here.

And yet, CityWalk is not closed.
