"You want to get those people lollygagging in the park moving again? I see, yes I have a solution. Smithers...release the hounds." - Montgomery Burns, CEO of Disney
"I want to build a couple attractions, with a train around it." "Think bigger, Walt!" "I want to build the city of the future, with permanent dwellings for researchers at skyscraper-sized science labs, and a whole amusement park in the middle to keep everyone entertained." "Think kind of in the middle, Walt!"
Walt naming his train after his wife has the same energy as Zeus naming his bastard son Heracles after his wife, Hera so she wouldn’t get mad that he cheated on her.
He built a MINI train for his daughters! (and himself) he also gave his wife everything she wanted, including her own entire greenhouse, sidehouse, and outdoor gardening room (that later influenced the haunted mansion iirc!) He was a good man. He also did some of the coolest things out of anyone else in history I've heard. was best friends with some of the biggest writers, composers, and educators in the world.
@@ZeranZeran Yeah, but Walt wasn't perfect. He thought he genuinely knew better than everybody else, which is what led to the whole employee riot at the animation studio. And then if you really take a good hard look at what EPCOT was originally meant to be...it was a glorified company town with people movers. Company towns are NEVER a good thing.
Our family really liked that PETTING FARM! My oldest daughter has always been into animals (she eventually worked at a zoo for 4 years) so it actually was a genuine highlight of Disneyland for us a few times. We did arts & crafts in that festival area, watched some high school bands perform, etc. It was a good space and I was sorry to see it go.
My favorite parts are when Jenny's neurodivergence takes the wheel. That's why I NEED her to make more theme park content you can't beat that level of passion.
Despite the fact I know she never finished the StarWarlands video for other reasons, I like to believe that it was a long con and this video was always meant to be a prequel to the 4 hour long Starcruiser video. somehow, she knew.
@@art-erofloreGood to know I’ve been searching in vain for the rest of the series 🤣 I hadn’t been aware that she never finished it for ‘other reasons’. Do you happen to remember why that was?
@@Melanie_Dawn @loganrenfrow2544 She basically said in other videos (might've been on her patreon) that she got tired of it, but also because she posted a part 1 she couldn't go back to parts and add things where she wanted to. It sounded like it messed with her usual editing flow. Also, she thought less people would watch a video with "Part 2" in the title.
Even though I have zero evidence of this I feel almost positive that she custom ordered the "efficient walkways" shirt and accepted it wouldn't be delivered until after she finished moving, rather than the video just taking that long to make
I feel like the video needs a quick flashback from the Escape from Tomorrow movie to remind us of what Cat Flu is. That’s what Randy Moore would have done...
i liked her mentioning how characters used to just hang out with guests. i was "kidnapped" by the genie when i was two and he pushed my stroller around the park for an hour while my mom followed. the cast member went on to become a close family friend. hi Rodney!
Lesser cared about characters still do that sort of thing like Robin Hood. He shanghaied my nephew the other day to watch a parade with. It was adorable.
My family remember when Ronald McDonald pretended to steal our 6-month old sister and our 3-year old sister DEMANDED that he bring her back. We still laugh about it to this day.
@@helloofthebeach Are you bringing kids on your adventures? What about a Disney sponsorship? These are the things that make Rey a 'big deal'. Gotta get yourself an enemy and stalk em, with some minions you pick up on the street. Kids legitimize everything.
I heard from a friend that he went in the late afternoon and there was not a single person in costume when he went-not even cast members-and there was no music?! Very weird?! Would love any explanation if anyone knows the answer.
That footage of Jenny working at Disneyland made me realize I met her when she worked there! I would always stop at the petting zoo whenever I saw that it was open, and I distinctly remember a very friendly woman named Jenny working there.
i used to go to disney many times years ago when i had a year pass & loved the meeting the animals cause i lowkey hate the loud noises of huge attractions. i cant believe i could have legit talked to jenny without realizing it
I worked on Star Tours at WDW in 2008. Since it was just a few years after the prequels wrapped up and our ride was basically a place for people to sit in air conditioning after leaving the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, absolutely no one cared what we did. Even though we were essentially flight attendants, they gave us all lightsabers. We wore the same parachute pant costumes from when the ride opened in 1989. When it rained and they had to cancel Jedi Training Academy, Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers would march around the ride and walk into the sims while we were trying to load them. And even though it was the most fun I've ever had at a job, we'd all sit around and brainstorm a Star Wars Land where we could be in character, drink blue milk, and not have to wear parachute pants (can you tell I hated the parachute pants?). Getting to visit Galaxy's Edge at DL was an amazing experience because I got to see all of those dreams brought to life. I just wanted to sit there and take it all in, and I noticed the lack of benches and other areas to rest as well. It's a shame Disney put so much effort into creating such an immersive experience, only to make it impossible to truly lose yourself in the world.
Eileen Herbert I just made my own rules and sat on the floor right next to the blue milk stand. No one’s gonna stop me from relaxing and taking it all in. 😂 It turned out to be a good idea, too, because then Kylo Ren came out and insulted my allegiance.
Just curious, but do you feel that Galaxys Edge feels a bit like fanfic? Instead of Tatooine you get Batuu. Instead of seeing Luke you get a made up one named Vi. Instead of Han Solo you get Hondo from Clone Wars. (Its like that awkward feeling you get when you go to Six Flags and see 1990's era Superman in the wrong costume, or you go to Universal and get that weird padded light blue Captain America. Um... we know what these characters look like.) The theming is amazing but Batuu does feel like a land where a bunch of licensing deals fell through so they couldn't build the land that the people actually wanted. So instead of chasing down Leia for a picture we're stuck trying to small talk with Vi despite not knowing a single thing about what she's talking about.
@@kittyk8999 My answer to this is slightly complicated. Would I like a theme park attraction that only references Luke/Leia/Han i.e. focuses solely on the original trilogy? Yes. But Galaxy's Edge wasn't made for me. It's an area in a children's theme park aimed at 9-year-olds. 9 year old Star Wars fans watch Clone Wars. They know who those characters are. It would be weird and alienating (no pun intended) to their main audience to only include references to episodes IV-VI in Galaxy's Edge. It also promotes visibility for their current projects, rather than past (not saying that's good OR bad). And in general, I didn't get the feeling of anything being knock-off or off-brand about GE. Everything seemed thought-out and cohesive, to the point where I wasn't thinking "Where are the characters I already know?" It just read to me as an expansion of the Star Wars universe.
From videos I only ever seem to see Rey, Chewbacca, Kylo and a bunch of Stormtroopers. Are characters like Darth Vader saved for special events? I'm surprised they haven't added a Poe or Finn.
30:20: This is no longer the most ridiculous amount of cash Jenny has dropped on a hotel for a Disney theme park so she could experience a Star Wars thing.
There's something tragically poetic about a person who deeply loves a theme park but worked at its lowest performing attraction until that attraction closed Also imagine being on Thunder Mountain and some crazy lady behind you is yelling about snakes lol
@@overgrownkudzu yeah, even if you don’t have sensory issues, loud rides would get old after a few days yknow. and not many crowds at the petting zoo!! im sad i didn’t get to go while it was open :/ seems like it’d be a good place to chill
When I met Rey I had a porg on my shoulder. She asked if the porg could be recruited to the resistance then we discussed how good it would be to have a porg to sneak through vents and around places. It was lovely :)
This is cute but also I love that Rey sees anything move even slightly and is immediately like "WANNA JOIN THE RESISTANCE??? :D" like homegirl wanna help them out so badly I love her
There’s something eldritch about Disney being the brand ambassador of “do you wanna join the resistance.” Like Disney y’all chose your side loudly and often, and it sure ain’t the resistance.
Jenny you realize that bit where you worked at the petting farm has created all manner of theories you're a Big Thunder Petting Farm animatronic that has escaped and achieved sentience.
"I was born in the wrong generation" should be reserved ONLY in reference to missing out on getting to experience Nature's Wonders while all those different modes of transportation were happening at the same time. I'm devestated.
Born too late to ride the train Born too early to ride the eventual space train Born just in time to be forcefully shoved through Star Wars land by a subconscious refusal to rest due to a bench deficiency
Disney owning the Star Wars franchise is the worst thing to ever happen to Jenny Nicholson First they took away the petting farm then they put her behind a pole
I’m glad you mentioned the health impacts of project stardust. As someone with a disability that prevents me from walking long distances without lots of breaks, eliminating all the places to comfortably rest means that I have to use a wheelchair if I want to go. While this seems like not a big deal to some people it really does change the experience. Instead of being free to move at my own pace, I am subtly a burden all day. It is hard to describe the feeling that comes with trying to fit in all day but knowing everyone would have more fun if you weren’t there. It may be “just a bench” to some people but for me that’s the difference in independence. I would suggest the idea of floating benches/seating as an option. Perhaps a large structure that has pieces that come off that can move around for seating but can be returned to multiple structures in the area. That way on the busiest days the amount of seats can be limited. Or maybe they are tethered to the large structure in some way. They could easily get so creative with it! By having flexible seating it is never stuck in the path. I’m picturing some kind of themed stools that are on a track underground with a maze of options where you can push them. Picture an office chair but the only part above ground is the chair itself. There are just so many options they can choose. Hopefully they will realize the error soon so less people have to suffer
as jenny was describing it i kinda got the feeling that this may be something they just intended as temporary (maybe for the first year or so when they expect the most traffic), and then planned to add more seating/resting options to relax after the initial spike in interest they'd anticipated dies down.. as someone who's cared for elderly family, i know how difficult just a simple task like getting them through a day at the dmv can be, so i certainly HOPE that's disney's plan.
Yeah, I'm the same. Personally, I prefer to use a wheelchair when I go to theme parks since it means I can get a lot more done and I'm not in pain by the end of the day but it can definitely be limiting sometimes. Especially since a lot of disabled people don't realise they can/should use a wheelchair even if they can technically walk. I used to push myself way too hard when I was a teenager and I would have definitely hurt myself real bad if I went to a park without any benches back then.
@@girliboi Even then I feel like it's certainly unfair to deny disabled people this kind of experience, especially taking into consideration what Jenny said about the Immersive Experience probably going away as the reality of traffic sets in
The last time I went to the park was two years ago, and I pushed myself way too hard, found barely anywhere to rest and I wound up bedridden for 2 days afterwards because of it. Granted that was mostly my fault for not knowing my limits or listening to my body, but the fact that when I did know that I needed to rest I would have to backtrack to the nearest restaurant in order to do it certainly didn't help and made me feel like I may as well just keep going.
there’s a video of a little girl talking to rey and i can’t remember it but she makes jokes and says stuff so cute and ridiculous it causes rey to break character and start crying with laughter and it’s so wholesome
The best part about coming from that vid to this one, is her five trips to Star Wars Land is less than $1000. That $1000 even includes accommodation. The contrast is staggering.
i just wanted to say that as somebody who's dirt poor, lives far away from the parks in the wasteland of TN, and is disabled (fibromyalgia), your videos going in depth about theme parks really satisfy my endless curiosity and allow me to live vicariously in a world where i have money and my body doesnt hurt all the time so i deeply appreciate listening to you talk about them and i am BEYOND excited for this being a series 💘💘💘 (on that note i also appreciate your words about the importance of places to rest in parks for those with physical/mobility issues)
Hannah Baker You probably know this already but there is a huge collection of roller coaster and ride videos on UA-cam in good quality where people go on rides with GoPros and capture the whole experience. Search for the Shanghai Tron roller coaster, it's really cool.
Hey I live in Tennessee too and also dont have tons of money haha. But yeah I also really likes that she talks about how fun the boring things can be because I am not a big adrenaline junkie.
@@ihavenomouthandimustnya When I was 18, I loved roller coasters. These days, Thunder Mountain or a wooden coaster is about as extreme as I'm looking to get, so I get where you're coming from 100%.
disney: we COULD accommodate disabled guests and recognize their need for a quiet space/places to sit... but Money anyone: disney you're one of the richest companies in the world disney, setting bench on fire: but we need Money
Kat Stewart I didn't say that, it's just that a lack of benches very specifically takes away the abilities of disabled people and people with decreased mobility to visit the park altogether! And as an autistic person who loves the parks, my rare trips are often incredibly overwhelming when I can't find a quiet place to destim. While everyone benefits from benches and a quiet place, it's absolutely essential and often a deciding factor in a disabled person's daily decisions! No harm in pointing that out. "My legs hurt, I wish I could sit somewhere" is valid and can make a day less fun, but it's still different from "I physically/emotionally can not handle a day at Disney because of accessibility issues that should be incredibly easy to address". Two different situations with different outcomes
@@katsdraws I'm with Adult Cool. Of course everyone needs benches! Don't be silly/weirdly defensive. But just for one personal example that isn't even the worst-case scenario, I have fibromyalgia and a few hours of constantly standing on hard pavements without any form of reprieve will break me like Bane broke Batman. How, you may ask? The pain in my feet, knees, hips, and lumbar spine will reach the point that it *literally* feels like my joints are splitting apart. The pain will become so intense that I break out in a cold sweat and start hyperventilating as I struggle to maintain my composure, and there's a very real possibility that I'll collapse like a leaky blow-up lawn Santa. Sure, there's a few planter edges and crates, but they will be hotly contested, and there is nothing quite as fun as being 26 and looking 16 and being slightly overweight and looking perfectly healthy and having to ask someone "May I please have your seat? I have fibromyalgia/a disability," and then even if they don't tell you to screw off they look disgusted because they assume you're lying and want to sit just because you're lazy (y'know, because I'm mildly overweight and I don't have, like, crutches). Also a lot of people think fibromyalgia is psychosomatic (starts 'in your head') or just plain not real, so I have been given many a flat "no" and once, "How is that *my* problem?" Even if they're nice about it I feel bad asking some hardworking parent to move so I can sit next to their kid or elder. It's awkward and it makes me feel like a burden to society, which I am not. Now cut to me crying from sheer pain and because I spent the last *two years* saving up for this trip while my mom stresses out and tries to find us a place to sit that isn't the bare pavement or a flowerbed and assures me that I'm not acting like a child, my suffering is valid, but being comforted by my mom only makes me feel more childish and meanwhile the pain is somehow, incredibly, getting impossibly worse. Assuming that I have yet to keel over, crack my head on the pavement, and be carted off by a squad of legendarily fast Disney medics. (Yes, I have fallen from pain and hit my head before. Not good.) Obviously I could avoid this by lowering myself all the way to the ground painfully and with great effort, accepting whatever comfort solid pavement has to offer, and then slowly and painfully standing back up, but I would have to do this many times and it would attract attention. I'm sure I would occasionally luck into an unoccupied shipping crate or whatever just when I needed it, but more often it would be the "May I please sit? Here's private medical information!" attempt, which, remember, is humiliating and not always successful. I might try to perch on railings when I can, but the hard metal poles tend to dig through my thighs enough to put direct pressure on my achey bones, so ... not a vast improvement over standing. I'm sure there are ways to deal with these problems, but I've been diagnosed for less than a year so I'm still adapting. If anyone says "then don't go places!", you can go screw. Just imagine having to put *your* life on hold and miss out on positive experiences because of the negative experience you're trying to keep from consuming your young life. So, yeah. Worst-case scenario is a serious medical event, and best-case is that because of the insufficient benches, I would spend the whole day aching, worrying, plotting, watching others so I can rush in when they get up, trying not to cry from embarrassment or frustration or pain, trying to act like everything is fine so I don't negatively impact the experience of any of the innumerable children all around me, etc. Perhaps you can see how it's a wee bit worse for for folk with disabilities, and that's why we get special mention when seating comes up. Not because *only* we need seating. But because only we need it to the point that it can *that* seriously f**k up not only the entire goddamn expensive experience, but our health. Barring extenuating circumstances, most able-bodied folk will be cranky and uncomfortable (which is not good!) but not, you know, in AGONIIZNG pain and/or the hospital. If anyone still wants to fight me on this, you better sit and really, genuinely try to imagine the sensation of "your joints splitting apart from the inside, causing pain so severe your heart races and you're soaked in cold sweat" before you marshal your arguments. And again, I'm not even a case of greatest need!!!
I really love the idea of Rey taking children around with her on a mission! The whole “stationary, five second meet and greet” with the princesses is dumb and overrated imo. I get that parents want their kids to get to see them and this is the quickest and most efficient way, but you’ve really lost the charm and authenticity. If you can make it a fun, interactive experience (even if Rey walks the same path each time), you’ve created a unique and special memory for the child
The mobile, organic princess encounter is better, but also less efficient. And if _Stardust: A Star Wars Land Story_ taught us anything, it's that Disney thinks efficiency is more important than customer satisfaction.
Shit there was no seating at all when I went there for grad night in 2009. Walking around that place from 10 p.m. to 6 or 7 a.m. left my feet throbbing for days.
i literally cannot fathom the logic behind wanting to push everyone through the park like ur trying to efficiently herd a lot of cattle. like it feels like it mustve been concocted by someone whos never gone to and enjoyed a theme park before.
I was kinda hoping that the whole video was going to be about obscure Disneyland facts and stuff about how Walt loved trains or whatever, then at minute 42 Jenny was gonna be like "so you're probably wondering what ANY of this has to do with Star Wars La...*credits*."
Watching this after the Star Wars hotel video is fascinating. The seeds of disaster were planted so early. Truly a spectacularly, almost meticulously planned catastrophe that could have been corrected at some point many points. BOB JUST GREENLIGHT TRAINS DAMMIT
I chose to revisit this video because from what I remember a lot of the bad decisions here are the same types of bad decisions as the star cruiser. Rewatching to see if I'm right
I want to ask on twitter if there is actually an original trilogy and sequel video coming but I don’t want to annoy her like a demanding fan. But I really want to hear about the rides and the experiences and stuff. Is it because of the pandemic closing the parks and she doesn’t want to upset people who can’t go or encourage people to go if they reopen but it’s not safe?
Honestly Rey guiding around little girls on adventures around the park is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I never want them to change her doing that.
I just wish she would stop making them bend over hands and knees next to the garbage... It also feels like it isn't set up very well, like there needs to be an adventure path she could put them on.
100% agree on roaming characters leaving a more lasting impression on children. When I visited Disneyland Paris in the late 90s, all the popular characters had Meet and Greets, but the 3rd tier characters were pretty much all still free range and could sometimes even be found at the hotels: When I think of meeting Mickey Mouse, I remember standing in line for almost 2 hours, desperately needing to pee for most of the wait. I have no recollection at all of meeting Cinderella, though must have, because I got her autograph. What I DO still vividly remember is Little John casually strolling into the lobby of our hotel, hugging the handful of kids that ran towards him all at once and goofing around with Tweedledum and Tweedledee, two characters I didn't even know at the time in Fantasyland. So yeah: More roaming characters please! It adds so much to the athmossphere even if you don't directly interact with them.
when I was quite young, maybe 6 years old? we went to DisneyWorld - we lived in Oregon at the time - and when wandering around we met my favorite princess ever, Mulan. I don't really remember it, but my parents tell me I was very very excited but also very shy to take a picture with her :) I do remember my brother (he must've been 2 or 3) happy-crying when he met Mickey Mouse though :)
She worked at customer service after the petting farm closed, so you can assume this might be a story someone frustratedly yelled at her at one or maybe even multiple points.
As someone with a physical disability that is invisible from the outside (no obvious signs) but manifests in my body being unable to stay upright for extended periods of time, thank you for calling out how problematic a lack of benches is for some of us. It seems like it's not that big a deal, but it actually really is for some people. I will pass out if I can't sit down, at a certain point. So in Star Wars Land, I guess I'd be sitting on the ground. It actually IS ableist of them to do that, just ... ableist against a group of disabled people that everyone likes to pretend don't exist anyway. (You can google chronic intractable migraine, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or invisible disabilities for more info on the kinds of disabilities I'm talking about here, among others. Long covid is the newest of this type.) Likewise, thank you, Jenny, for being so casual about "guests with sensory issues" who loved the petting farm because they need a minute, because that is also me - another way my disability manifests. Some of us love to be out in the world, but the world is too much at times - literally, physically - and just being able to sit it out for a hot minute, get our bearings, or let our medical conditions calm down, and then get back into having fun makes all the difference. It makes having fun in places like Disney possible at all. Hearing someone talk about these issues like they truly and obviously matter, like it isn't "pandering" to care about people with disabilities, is humanizing. I've seen this video at least half a dozen times, and it hits me every time. Thanks, Jenny. You're a real one.
That comment about caring for minorities being seen as "pandering" is a really good description of a concept that I have a hard time explaining to some people. It can make you feel like trash hearing people complaining about something that greatly improves your life because they see it as pointless SJW virtue signaling just meant to inconvenience anti-woke patriots like themselves. I transitioned to male several years ago. I have never once called out anyone for misgendering me, even coworkers who do it relentlessly to this day (even though other coworkers have completely forgotten I was ever female). Yet I still have coworkers who will do a bit where they intentionally call a mixed group 'guys' just so they can go on a rant about not being "allowed" to say that anymore, even though nobody ever objects. It can really ruin the vibe of your whole day and makes you feel like less than an afterthought. Like basic consideration for your situation is a joke and annoyance to others.
Jenny: "Spooky, right?" Me: "Well, I dunno, not rea--" Jenny: "...unknowingly walking over the mass, unmarked grave of countless mechanical bears..." Me: "... uh..... well.... a little bit now, yeah"
Honestly Jenny you're the only youtuber I can watch a 45 minute video of talking about a subject i really have relatively low interest in. Truly talented
As a disabled person, my soul slithered out of my god damn body when you said they got rid of all the benches. Straight up had flashbacks to nearly passing out in Lego Land when I was 15 'cause I was too self conscious to use a wheelchair. I couldn't walk for two days. And this is what happened when I just didn't take enough brakes 'cause I got overexcited, God fucking help 15 year old me if that place hadn't had benches.
As much as I love Disney, the combination of rattling rides and 'efficient' spaces would probably make me unable to walk properly for a few days. And if it was Florida the waterparks/pools would probably do more damage...
*breaks Same. In a way, I'm kind of glad to have a wheelchair because traversing that part of the park without anywhere to sit and rest would be a nightmare, even for a much healthier, able-bodied me.
It's a really stupid idea all around, unless their plan it to cut budget costs by making it hard for anyone who isn't an able young adult to enter Star Wars land.
As a perfectly mobile (if not super healthy) person who recently went to Disney, your reaction isn't unique. I was remembering how much I was just wiped out after an incredibly long day of walking - Jenny's description of things (before turning the hyperbolic humor up to 11 - at least I hope no marriages end because of stupid heat walking) was impressively accurate, despite its joking nature. (Note: doesn't have to be a theme park for that to happen - just needs kids with a large area and no real time or place for rest.)
Rey gently tapped me on the shoulder with her staff to say hi, catching me unaware while I was zoned out. She said hi, smiled and walked away. Definitely one of the top Disney moments I have had.
as a disabled person the idea of having no benches to sit on in Disneyland of all places sounds like actual hell. I'm all for crowd control but I feel like there's another way, right? the lack of thought/care into accessibility for disabled ppl is unsurprising and disappointing, no wonder disabled people (myself included) dislike amusement parks.
@@mjacton I don't think it's meant to be mean? It just seems to be agreeing with OP and adding that a park that has accessibility features is a good concept
When Jenny said “Sometimes they even take out an attraction everybody likes for no reason!” you can hear the hate for GotG Mission Breakout in her voice and see the fear for Journey into Imagination in her eyes
If anything happens to Figment, Jenny will lead the charge. We already lost Buzzy - how many more boys must suffer before Disney learns that its actions have consequences?
I think Jenny stole Buzzy partly (PARTLY, I said) because, on top of loving the boy, she wanted to take vengeance on Disney for closing HER petting zoo. Two birds, one stone. It's a tense love-hate relationship between one girl and an entire mega company. The story is still developing...
@@Rushboat Wow, I didn't get notification for your comment, (maybe because the post is old?) so this is kinda serendipitous. Uhmmm, there's a lot that's creepy with 50 Shades besides the soulless sex stuff, but I think I get where your head's at... Since it's fan fiction, you can just have it be Walt's cryogenically-frozen-then-reanimated head (like Nixon in Futurama) screwed onto a giant porge-esque plushy body; and no one ever brings attention to that cute and gruesome fact, it's all just played straight despite the ridiculous inhuman horror of it...so...yeah, basically 50 Shades without the sex. You were right the first time. I should've listened.
@@Rushboat this fits in perfectly Christian Grey even has a characteristic obsession with trains - clearly a reference to the famous businessman, Walt Disney
"The CEO was anti-train, and he would suffer for it." Sounds like a Sith origin story. Have you ever heard the tale of Darth Slowpoke and his battles against his Jedi rival, Choo Choo Binks?
I think it'd be a better fit if it was Darth ____ the Slow. And please, everyone knows Binks is just Gungan for Darth, as Jar Jar Binks was the mover and shaker of ep 1 and 2.
Funny story I'm watching this after visiting the Batuu in Orlando for the first time. I had such an amazing time but I definitely confused a cast member. I went up and asked him where medbay was because I wanted to know where first aid was and he was taken aback and didn't know how to respond , he caught on eventually and was like " oh the medical bay , yes you have to leave Batuu and return to earth"
"Sir, the puppeteers are going on strike! They're sick of putting up with our pantomime of good working conditions." "Hmmm. See if you can pull a few strings and close the curtain on this issue." "We tried that, but they're adamantly refusing to be manipulated".
I can't help but feel Rise of Skywalker would've been _vastly_ improved if it had consisted of Rey primarily hiding behind garbage cans throughout the runtime.
Honestly even the dumb scripts Jenny reviewed are better than what we got. At least they were hilariously written (I want to see how they'd incorporate "he lost the star wars")
NGL The thought of Kylo Ren rushing around shouting "WHERE'S THE RESISTENCE?!" and then walking off to calmy get a hot dog while Rey dodges him behind a series of increasingly more ridicuous trash cans is gold. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley would 100% do it.
I want to set up a kiosk in Galaxie's Edge just to sell shirts like this. So many could be done, "The droids you're looking for? Well they ain't here.". `This place could use a Degobah log or 2', you get the idea.
When they closed the petting zoo, did they just put all the animals in a pit and pour concrete on them like they did with the animatronic ones previously?
"Project Stardust" basically sounds like hostile architecture in theme parks. It would be pretty cool if you could go on Well, There's Your Problem and talk about how hostile architecture harms the theme park experience.
The ironic part is that "Stardust" was also the codename for the Death Star. Which, of course, is all about facilitating control of the population via "removing" the inconvienent outliers.
I know you already discussed the benches, but I consider them almost as important as a restroom. Sure, people want to relax and admire their surroundings. But more than that, it can be a health concern, especially those who can't be in the hot sun or walk for long periods of time. These parks should be for everyone, but by lacking benches and shaded areas, they are discouraging disabled, older, and other guests from having fun too. Hopefully they add some :)
You should keep in mind that it's all about making money. If you happen to fall into a demographic that Disney doesn't see as big enough to fill its pockets, than no accommodation for you. It's a shame, but that's the reality of business.
@@ericspencer8093 keep in mind disney's theme parks have a reputation among wheelchair users and other disabled people for being some of the most accessible. not perfect by far, but better than most of the alternatives. so it's a huge disappointment that they're consciously making decisions to reduce basic accessibility in favor of maximizing volume of ablebodied patrons. we're not surprised, because being left behind in favor of profits is the capitalist disabled experience. but it's still infuriating that we're constantly having to fight for these basic things. anyway, fuck disney.
Your comments about the benches and the mentality of people who are stressed out about making the most of their visit to Disney is one of the most insightful things I've ever heard about what it's like to be at the park. I had a great uncle who worked at Disney in Orlando in security for probably 20 years, and he always made these ominous comments about how people who tried to do too much ended up ruining their time at the park. Your bit about the benches tied all that together.
The guy with the water bottle is most definitely the one controlling the free roaming robot. When I was a kid Tomorrow Land in Disney World had another free roaming Robot named “Push” because he was robot garbage can that would roam around to talk to people (his name was push bc that’s what it says on the garbage cans). My dad is a big Disney park nerd so he was able to pick out who in the crowd was controlling push. Most of the time they’re wearing park merchandise to disguise themselves as other guests and they have a side bag that their hand is in because that’s where the controls are. I was 4 in my stroller talking to push and my dad found the guy and told him my name was Catherine. The guy got VERY panicked bc his cover was blown and quickly got away from my father but used the info he was given anyway and called me by my name and I nearly shit my pants bc this talking trash can knew who I was. I absolutely love this story. Push isn’t there anymore because Disney’s contract ended with the people who built him which is why I was so excited for the robots in galaxies edge. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
If they were disguising the controls as a water bottle, wouldn't that just be mocking fate? I'm sure some day the guy is going to put down the controls and a janitor is going to throw it away thinking it is just a water bottle.
I loved Push more than anything in the world. I obsessed over Push for several years, because he was nice to me when I was a socially inept little kid with few friends. He said I was his friend and it made my life
You mentioned characters getting on rides, and I vividly remember that. One time, I rode on the carousel with Pluto. I cannot describe how stinking cool it was for child me to have that experience. I also told a knock knock joke to the mad hatter, and my parents still have the video. Some awesome memories
I can’t believe no one is talking about Project Stardust! This is the first I’ve heard of it and seems like a huge deal, especially for those with disabilities or mobility problems.
Yeah! It''s just like the talking trash can that rolls around Tomorrowland in Orlando. There's always a guy hanging a few feet back with a microphone attached to the backpack he's wearing - it's awesome because that way, the trash can is able to learn the names of the kids he's talking to and accurately reply back to them. Truly magical.
Lack of benches is incredibly ableist. Like for disabled people being able to sit down is good for peeps with sensory issues (as Jenny noted as a positive the petting zoo) to take a bit of a break. People with mobility issues may need these sitting areas, and it’s also just good for people to stay, take in the scenery, etc.
Even those without disabilities would like to sit down and take a break after a long day. Also, what if someone is on the verge of passing out or gets sick? Should they just sit/lay on the floor?
@@grylltheonion benches ultimately of course benefit everyone, but disabled people may physically not even be able to sit down on the floor or get up again. for an able bodied person, a lack of benches and other areas to relax or take breaks is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but for some disabled people it may straight up mean not being able to go
As a replacement activity for the sequels of this video that don't exist yet I will watch the Avatar themepark video again because I want to hear about rides and food. I don't even like themeparks, but I like these videos.
i went to galaxy's edge shortly after it opened, and i literally spent 5 hours just looking at the props. i only went on one ride lol. after about 4 hours of just staring with my face an inch from everything, someone from the park came out and talked to me out of character and just asked what the hell i was doing in a polite way. when i explained i used to make props, he just launched into an excited conversation about the props and the levels of detail and how every single greebly has a story. we even talked about how crazy it was that the full scale falcon has enlarged greeblies that were originally quite small, so they look like comically huge computer fans now. also Ray was just walking around and talking to everyone. there was a kid dressed in a perfect Ray costume and Ray stopped to talk to her for a while. the entire park wasn't even open yet and some parts were still being worked on, so i'm guessing the rules have changed a bit for cast members. they even have a ton of prop guns they made from what looks like real WWII era machine guns. from what i could tell, the machine guns were not even de-milled which kind of blew my mind. i can only assume that the barrels are filled with solder or lead or something else i just couldn't see. all of them are locked in space crates
"I moved" was even more jarring if you've been watching Jenny for a while. Those venetian blinds had become fixed in my long term memory storage, I guess. Though I feel like there was a time before them with a poster in the background instead of a window.

She basically said in other videos (might've been on her patreon) that she got tired of it, but also because she posted a part 1 she couldn't go back to parts and add things where she wanted to. It sounded like it messed with her usual editing flow. Also, she thought less people would watch a video with "Part 2" in the title.
the smash cut to a new bedroom with "i moved" and a custom shirt for the specific topic you're discussing is an all time jenny moment.
Even though I have zero evidence of this I feel almost positive that she custom ordered the "efficient walkways" shirt and accepted it wouldn't be delivered until after she finished moving, rather than the video just taking that long to make
I didn't even notice the shirt, that's amazing.
i was like "wait what?!...no...she actually seems to be in a diffrent room lol"

Peter Pan “cut” in front of us in line trying to meet Princess Aurora and kept trying to photobomb her photos with guests. It was great.

I worked on Star Tours at WDW in 2008. Since it was just a few years after the prequels wrapped up and our ride was basically a place for people to sit in air conditioning after leaving the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, absolutely no one cared what we did. Even though we were essentially flight attendants, they gave us all lightsabers. We wore the same parachute pant costumes from when the ride opened in 1989. When it rained and they had to cancel Jedi Training Academy, Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers would march around the ride and walk into the sims while we were trying to load them. And even though it was the most fun I've ever had at a job, we'd all sit around and brainstorm a Star Wars Land where we could be in character, drink blue milk, and not have to wear parachute pants (can you tell I hated the parachute pants?).
Getting to visit Galaxy's Edge at DL was an amazing experience because I got to see all of those dreams brought to life. I just wanted to sit there and take it all in, and I noticed the lack of benches and other areas to rest as well. It's a shame Disney put so much effort into creating such an immersive experience, only to make it impossible to truly lose yourself in the world.
Eileen Herbert I just made my own rules and sat on the floor right next to the blue milk stand. No one’s gonna stop me from relaxing and taking it all in. 😂 It turned out to be a good idea, too, because then Kylo Ren came out and insulted my allegiance.
But at the same time, thank you for wearing the parachute pants. You walked so Star Wars land could fly.
Just curious, but do you feel that Galaxys Edge feels a bit like fanfic?
Instead of Tatooine you get Batuu. Instead of seeing Luke you get a made up one named Vi. Instead of Han Solo you get Hondo from Clone Wars. (Its like that awkward feeling you get when you go to Six Flags and see 1990's era Superman in the wrong costume, or you go to Universal and get that weird padded light blue Captain America. Um... we know what these characters look like.)
The theming is amazing but Batuu does feel like a land where a bunch of licensing deals fell through so they couldn't build the land that the people actually wanted. So instead of chasing down Leia for a picture we're stuck trying to small talk with Vi despite not knowing a single thing about what she's talking about.
@@kittyk8999 My answer to this is slightly complicated.
Would I like a theme park attraction that only references Luke/Leia/Han i.e. focuses solely on the original trilogy? Yes.
But Galaxy's Edge wasn't made for me. It's an area in a children's theme park aimed at 9-year-olds. 9 year old Star Wars fans watch Clone Wars. They know who those characters are. It would be weird and alienating (no pun intended) to their main audience to only include references to episodes IV-VI in Galaxy's Edge. It also promotes visibility for their current projects, rather than past (not saying that's good OR bad).
And in general, I didn't get the feeling of anything being knock-off or off-brand about GE. Everything seemed thought-out and cohesive, to the point where I wasn't thinking "Where are the characters I already know?" It just read to me as an expansion of the Star Wars universe.
From videos I only ever seem to see Rey, Chewbacca, Kylo and a bunch of Stormtroopers. Are characters like Darth Vader saved for special events? I'm surprised they haven't added a Poe or Finn.

Ruan Lima - Thanks! Seems like a good choice.
I’m glad you mentioned the health impacts of project stardust. As someone with a disability that prevents me from walking long distances without lots of breaks, eliminating all the places to comfortably rest means that I have to use a wheelchair if I want to go. While this seems like not a big deal to some people it really does change the experience. Instead of being free to move at my own pace, I am subtly a burden all day. It is hard to describe the feeling that comes with trying to fit in all day but knowing everyone would have more fun if you weren’t there. It may be “just a bench” to some people but for me that’s the difference in independence.
I would suggest the idea of floating benches/seating as an option. Perhaps a large structure that has pieces that come off that can move around for seating but can be returned to multiple structures in the area. That way on the busiest days the amount of seats can be limited. Or maybe they are tethered to the large structure in some way. They could easily get so creative with it! By having flexible seating it is never stuck in the path.
I’m picturing some kind of themed stools that are on a track underground with a maze of options where you can push them. Picture an office chair but the only part above ground is the chair itself. There are just so many options they can choose. Hopefully they will realize the error soon so less people have to suffer
as jenny was describing it i kinda got the feeling that this may be something they just intended as temporary (maybe for the first year or so when they expect the most traffic), and then planned to add more seating/resting options to relax after the initial spike in interest they'd anticipated dies down.. as someone who's cared for elderly family, i know how difficult just a simple task like getting them through a day at the dmv can be, so i certainly HOPE that's disney's plan.
Yeah, I'm the same. Personally, I prefer to use a wheelchair when I go to theme parks since it means I can get a lot more done and I'm not in pain by the end of the day but it can definitely be limiting sometimes. Especially since a lot of disabled people don't realise they can/should use a wheelchair even if they can technically walk. I used to push myself way too hard when I was a teenager and I would have definitely hurt myself real bad if I went to a park without any benches back then.
@@girliboi Even then I feel like it's certainly unfair to deny disabled people this kind of experience, especially taking into consideration what Jenny said about the Immersive Experience probably going away as the reality of traffic sets in
The last time I went to the park was two years ago, and I pushed myself way too hard, found barely anywhere to rest and I wound up bedridden for 2 days afterwards because of it.
Granted that was mostly my fault for not knowing my limits or listening to my body, but the fact that when I did know that I needed to rest I would have to backtrack to the nearest restaurant in order to do it certainly didn't help and made me feel like I may as well just keep going.
POTS crew, totally agree with this. sitting/passing out on the ground in disney is miserable but it beats being in a wheelchair. we're stubborn.

Adult Cool we could accommodate guests in general. Idk why you acting like the only people who need to sit are disabled?
Kat Stewart I didn't say that, it's just that a lack of benches very specifically takes away the abilities of disabled people and people with decreased mobility to visit the park altogether! And as an autistic person who loves the parks, my rare trips are often incredibly overwhelming when I can't find a quiet place to destim.
While everyone benefits from benches and a quiet place, it's absolutely essential and often a deciding factor in a disabled person's daily decisions! No harm in pointing that out. "My legs hurt, I wish I could sit somewhere" is valid and can make a day less fun, but it's still different from "I physically/emotionally can not handle a day at Disney because of accessibility issues that should be incredibly easy to address". Two different situations with different outcomes
@@katsdraws I'm with Adult Cool. Of course everyone needs benches! Don't be silly/weirdly defensive.

How, you may ask? The pain in my feet, knees, hips, and lumbar spine will reach the point that it *literally* feels like my joints are splitting apart. The pain will become so intense that I break out in a cold sweat and start hyperventilating as I struggle to maintain my composure, and there's a very real possibility that I'll collapse like a leaky blow-up lawn Santa. Sure, there's a few planter edges and crates, but they will be hotly contested, and there is nothing quite as fun as being 26 and looking 16 and being slightly overweight and looking perfectly healthy and having to ask someone "May I please have your seat? I have fibromyalgia/a disability," and then even if they don't tell you to screw off they look disgusted because they assume you're lying and want to sit just because you're lazy (y'know, because I'm mildly overweight and I don't have, like, crutches). Also a lot of people think fibromyalgia is psychosomatic (starts 'in your head') or just plain not real, so I have been given many a flat "no" and once, "How is that *my* problem?" Even if they're nice about it I feel bad asking some hardworking parent to move so I can sit next to their kid or elder. It's awkward and it makes me feel like a burden to society, which I am not.
Now cut to me crying from sheer pain and because I spent the last *two years* saving up for this trip while my mom stresses out and tries to find us a place to sit that isn't the bare pavement or a flowerbed and assures me that I'm not acting like a child, my suffering is valid, but being comforted by my mom only makes me feel more childish and meanwhile the pain is somehow, incredibly, getting impossibly worse. Assuming that I have yet to keel over, crack my head on the pavement, and be carted off by a squad of legendarily fast Disney medics. (Yes, I have fallen from pain and hit my head before. Not good.)
Obviously I could avoid this by lowering myself all the way to the ground painfully and with great effort, accepting whatever comfort solid pavement has to offer, and then slowly and painfully standing back up, but I would have to do this many times and it would attract attention. I'm sure I would occasionally luck into an unoccupied shipping crate or whatever just when I needed it, but more often it would be the "May I please sit? Here's private medical information!" attempt, which, remember, is humiliating and not always successful. I might try to perch on railings when I can, but the hard metal poles tend to dig through my thighs enough to put direct pressure on my achey bones, so ... not a vast improvement over standing.
I'm sure there are ways to deal with these problems, but I've been diagnosed for less than a year so I'm still adapting. If anyone says "then don't go places!", you can go screw. Just imagine having to put *your* life on hold and miss out on positive experiences because of the negative experience you're trying to keep from consuming your young life.
So, yeah. Worst-case scenario is a serious medical event, and best-case is that because of the insufficient benches, I would spend the whole day aching, worrying, plotting, watching others so I can rush in when they get up, trying not to cry from embarrassment or frustration or pain, trying to act like everything is fine so I don't negatively impact the experience of any of the innumerable children all around me, etc.
Perhaps you can see how it's a wee bit worse for for folk with disabilities, and that's why we get special mention when seating comes up. Not because *only* we need seating. But because only we need it to the point that it can *that* seriously f**k up not only the entire goddamn expensive experience, but our health. Barring extenuating circumstances, most able-bodied folk will be cranky and uncomfortable (which is not good!) but not, you know, in AGONIIZNG pain and/or the hospital.
If anyone still wants to fight me on this, you better sit and really, genuinely try to imagine the sensation of "your joints splitting apart from the inside, causing pain so severe your heart races and you're soaked in cold sweat" before you marshal your arguments. And again, I'm not even a case of greatest need!!!
In America, businesses accommodate guests, in Soviet Russia, er, Disney, guests accommodate them.
Disney Van Der Lin
I really love the idea of Rey taking children around with her on a mission! The whole “stationary, five second meet and greet” with the princesses is dumb and overrated imo. I get that parents want their kids to get to see them and this is the quickest and most efficient way, but you’ve really lost the charm and authenticity. If you can make it a fun, interactive experience (even if Rey walks the same path each time), you’ve created a unique and special memory for the child
The mobile, organic princess encounter is better, but also less efficient. And if _Stardust: A Star Wars Land Story_ taught us anything, it's that Disney thinks efficiency is more important than customer satisfaction.
i feel overwhelmed, overstimulated and exhausted just HEARING about project stardust
same
I can feel my aching feet as I desperately search for a place to sit until I sit on the dirty ground and am trampled
Shit there was no seating at all when I went there for grad night in 2009. Walking around that place from 10 p.m. to 6 or 7 a.m. left my feet throbbing for days.
i literally cannot fathom the logic behind wanting to push everyone through the park like ur trying to efficiently herd a lot of cattle. like it feels like it mustve been concocted by someone whos never gone to and enjoyed a theme park before.
I have diabeetus and would require a transport. 😢
I was kinda hoping that the whole video was going to be about obscure Disneyland facts and stuff about how Walt loved trains or whatever, then at minute 42 Jenny was gonna be like "so you're probably wondering what ANY of this has to do with Star Wars La...*credits*."

BOB JUST GREENLIGHT TRAINS DAMMIT
I chose to revisit this video because from what I remember a lot of the bad decisions here are the same types of bad decisions as the star cruiser. Rewatching to see if I'm right
The Han Solo movie was just to make trains canon in Star Wars
Shadows of the empire had trains
ASMR Ross but it’s not canon. Trains were in The Clone Wars though.
Captain Britain wrong it was always canon. Disney Gay Wars is not canon

I care about all three
That's all me!
I want to ask on twitter if there is actually an original trilogy and sequel video coming but I don’t want to annoy her like a demanding fan. But I really want to hear about the rides and the experiences and stuff. Is it because of the pandemic closing the parks and she doesn’t want to upset people who can’t go or encourage people to go if they reopen but it’s not safe?
"Maybe somebody caught cat flu" don't let anyone tell you that you're not funny
C. L. This is why we keep coming back. Jenny must be a great friend
She genuinely has really good comedic timing and intelligent jokes. I love it
I literally had to stop because I kept laughing at that hahahah
So glad I watched her escape from tomorrow video recently enough to get that
I love when she makes little references to her other videos. It really ties the Jenny Cinematic Universe all together. ☺️
Only the ancients know when part 2 of this video is coming
She’s working on a Starcruiser video, which must be a spiritual successor? Or is Starcruiser in the park itself? I’m not sure
starcruiser video will be coming out in the next few months. new thoughts on star wars land will probably be rolled into that
Good news!
Well, not good news for the cruiser.
@@Earthstar_Review tragic news!
Honestly Rey guiding around little girls on adventures around the park is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I never want them to change her doing that.
I just wish she would stop making them bend over hands and knees next to the garbage... It also feels like it isn't set up very well, like there needs to be an adventure path she could put them on.
Its like tiny metal gear for kids
@@Nionivek The improv nature is what makes it cool.
@@Nionivek She probably has a set route and story, but can vary it depending on where she meets the kids and what the crowd is doing.
20:26
She is quick to accept that macaroni necklace on Pasaana
100% agree on roaming characters leaving a more lasting impression on children.
When I visited Disneyland Paris in the late 90s, all the popular characters had Meet and Greets, but the 3rd tier characters were pretty much all still free range and could sometimes even be found at the hotels:
When I think of meeting Mickey Mouse, I remember standing in line for almost 2 hours, desperately needing to pee for most of the wait.
I have no recollection at all of meeting Cinderella, though must have, because I got her autograph.
What I DO still vividly remember is Little John casually strolling into the lobby of our hotel, hugging the handful of kids that ran towards him all at once and goofing around with Tweedledum and Tweedledee, two characters I didn't even know at the time in Fantasyland.
So yeah: More roaming characters please! It adds so much to the athmossphere even if you don't directly interact with them.
when I was quite young, maybe 6 years old? we went to DisneyWorld - we lived in Oregon at the time - and when wandering around we met my favorite princess ever, Mulan. I don't really remember it, but my parents tell me I was very very excited but also very shy to take a picture with her :) I do remember my brother (he must've been 2 or 3) happy-crying when he met Mickey Mouse though :)
The way that Jenny explained the cycle of a classic family breakdown at a theme park so eloquently.
I appreciate her compassion. Some disney fans can be incredibly judgemental when these are pretty universal experiences
You can tell she's seen some stuff
She worked at customer service after the petting farm closed, so you can assume this might be a story someone frustratedly yelled at her at one or maybe even multiple points.
Honestly that bit really provided me with some insight about why people get so mad about stuff.
@@jor4114😊
As someone with a physical disability that is invisible from the outside (no obvious signs) but manifests in my body being unable to stay upright for extended periods of time, thank you for calling out how problematic a lack of benches is for some of us. It seems like it's not that big a deal, but it actually really is for some people. I will pass out if I can't sit down, at a certain point. So in Star Wars Land, I guess I'd be sitting on the ground. It actually IS ableist of them to do that, just ... ableist against a group of disabled people that everyone likes to pretend don't exist anyway. (You can google chronic intractable migraine, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or invisible disabilities for more info on the kinds of disabilities I'm talking about here, among others. Long covid is the newest of this type.)
Likewise, thank you, Jenny, for being so casual about "guests with sensory issues" who loved the petting farm because they need a minute, because that is also me - another way my disability manifests. Some of us love to be out in the world, but the world is too much at times - literally, physically - and just being able to sit it out for a hot minute, get our bearings, or let our medical conditions calm down, and then get back into having fun makes all the difference. It makes having fun in places like Disney possible at all.
Hearing someone talk about these issues like they truly and obviously matter, like it isn't "pandering" to care about people with disabilities, is humanizing. I've seen this video at least half a dozen times, and it hits me every time.
Thanks, Jenny. You're a real one.
That comment about caring for minorities being seen as "pandering" is a really good description of a concept that I have a hard time explaining to some people. It can make you feel like trash hearing people complaining about something that greatly improves your life because they see it as pointless SJW virtue signaling just meant to inconvenience anti-woke patriots like themselves.
I transitioned to male several years ago. I have never once called out anyone for misgendering me, even coworkers who do it relentlessly to this day (even though other coworkers have completely forgotten I was ever female). Yet I still have coworkers who will do a bit where they intentionally call a mixed group 'guys' just so they can go on a rant about not being "allowed" to say that anymore, even though nobody ever objects. It can really ruin the vibe of your whole day and makes you feel like less than an afterthought. Like basic consideration for your situation is a joke and annoyance to others.

As a disabled person, my soul slithered out of my god damn body when you said they got rid of all the benches. Straight up had flashbacks to nearly passing out in Lego Land when I was 15 'cause I was too self conscious to use a wheelchair. I couldn't walk for two days. And this is what happened when I just didn't take enough brakes 'cause I got overexcited, God fucking help 15 year old me if that place hadn't had benches.
As much as I love Disney, the combination of rattling rides and 'efficient' spaces would probably make me unable to walk properly for a few days. And if it was Florida the waterparks/pools would probably do more damage...
*breaks
Same. In a way, I'm kind of glad to have a wheelchair because traversing that part of the park without anywhere to sit and rest would be a nightmare, even for a much healthier, able-bodied me.
Yeah, that felt kinda fucked up, from an accessibility point of view.
It's a really stupid idea all around, unless their plan it to cut budget costs by making it hard for anyone who isn't an able young adult to enter Star Wars land.
As a perfectly mobile (if not super healthy) person who recently went to Disney, your reaction isn't unique. I was remembering how much I was just wiped out after an incredibly long day of walking - Jenny's description of things (before turning the hyperbolic humor up to 11 - at least I hope no marriages end because of stupid heat walking) was impressively accurate, despite its joking nature. (Note: doesn't have to be a theme park for that to happen - just needs kids with a large area and no real time or place for rest.)
Rey gently tapped me on the shoulder with her staff to say hi, catching me unaware while I was zoned out. She said hi, smiled and walked away. Definitely one of the top Disney moments I have had.
as a disabled person the idea of having no benches to sit on in Disneyland of all places sounds like actual hell. I'm all for crowd control but I feel like there's another way, right? the lack of thought/care into accessibility for disabled ppl is unsurprising and disappointing, no wonder disabled people (myself included) dislike amusement parks.

Since it's fan fiction, you can just have it be Walt's cryogenically-frozen-then-reanimated head (like Nixon in Futurama) screwed onto a giant porge-esque plushy body; and no one ever brings attention to that cute and gruesome fact, it's all just played straight despite the ridiculous inhuman horror of it...so...yeah, basically 50 Shades without the sex.

Heyyy! Someone else who listens to WTYP!
I know you already discussed the benches, but I consider them almost as important as a restroom. Sure, people want to relax and admire their surroundings. But more than that, it can be a health concern, especially those who can't be in the hot sun or walk for long periods of time. These parks should be for everyone, but by lacking benches and shaded areas, they are discouraging disabled, older, and other guests from having fun too. Hopefully they add some :)
Anywhere without benches is somewhere I can't go with my mom.
Exactly
And where would birds poo?
You should keep in mind that it's all about making money. If you happen to fall into a demographic that Disney doesn't see as big enough to fill its pockets, than no accommodation for you. It's a shame, but that's the reality of business.
@@ericspencer8093 keep in mind disney's theme parks have a reputation among wheelchair users and other disabled people for being some of the most accessible. not perfect by far, but better than most of the alternatives. so it's a huge disappointment that they're consciously making decisions to reduce basic accessibility in favor of maximizing volume of ablebodied patrons.
we're not surprised, because being left behind in favor of profits is the capitalist disabled experience. but it's still infuriating that we're constantly having to fight for these basic things.
anyway, fuck disney.

Your comments about the benches and the mentality of people who are stressed out about making the most of their visit to Disney is one of the most insightful things I've ever heard about what it's like to be at the park. I had a great uncle who worked at Disney in Orlando in security for probably 20 years, and he always made these ominous comments about how people who tried to do too much ended up ruining their time at the park. Your bit about the benches tied all that together.
Love the idea that Kylo is so caught up in his work that he misses the fact that the Millennium Falcon is around the corner!
Maybe they're common where he grew up.
@@chaos.corner I mean, yeah.
The guy with the water bottle is most definitely the one controlling the free roaming robot. When I was a kid Tomorrow Land in Disney World had another free roaming Robot named “Push” because he was robot garbage can that would roam around to talk to people (his name was push bc that’s what it says on the garbage cans). My dad is a big Disney park nerd so he was able to pick out who in the crowd was controlling push. Most of the time they’re wearing park merchandise to disguise themselves as other guests and they have a side bag that their hand is in because that’s where the controls are. I was 4 in my stroller talking to push and my dad found the guy and told him my name was Catherine. The guy got VERY panicked bc his cover was blown and quickly got away from my father but used the info he was given anyway and called me by my name and I nearly shit my pants bc this talking trash can knew who I was. I absolutely love this story. Push isn’t there anymore because Disney’s contract ended with the people who built him which is why I was so excited for the robots in galaxies edge. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
If they were disguising the controls as a water bottle, wouldn't that just be mocking fate? I'm sure some day the guy is going to put down the controls and a janitor is going to throw it away thinking it is just a water bottle.
I loved Push more than anything in the world. I obsessed over Push for several years, because he was nice to me when I was a socially inept little kid with few friends. He said I was his friend and it made my life
PUSH was the best!
Push knew my name cause it was on my Mickey mouse hat :)
Aww, did your dad blackmail anyone else to make you happy that you have a cute story about?
You mentioned characters getting on rides, and I vividly remember that. One time, I rode on the carousel with Pluto. I cannot describe how stinking cool it was for child me to have that experience. I also told a knock knock joke to the mad hatter, and my parents still have the video. Some awesome memories
I can’t believe no one is talking about Project Stardust! This is the first I’ve heard of it and seems like a huge deal, especially for those with disabilities or mobility problems.
For real, ppl are saying “lol we’ll just sit on the floor instead” when many ppl REALLY CAN’T DO THAT.
I had the same thought, like why is this not a bigger story? I can't imagine this won't be a huge detriment to the park experience
oh, and i LOVE the "oh, i moved" 2 second blurb that encompassed a massive endever.
Is she implying the water bottle guy is controlling the droid? That’s so brilliant and subtle I’m impressed
I thought he was an employee looking in case it broke down.
I thought she meant that it was some guy waiting for no one to be paying attention to throw water on the droid and ruin it just to be mean.
I thought he was following it so he could try stealing it when no one is around.
Yeah! It''s just like the talking trash can that rolls around Tomorrowland in Orlando. There's always a guy hanging a few feet back with a microphone attached to the backpack he's wearing - it's awesome because that way, the trash can is able to learn the names of the kids he's talking to and accurately reply back to them. Truly magical.
Lack of benches is incredibly ableist. Like for disabled people being able to sit down is good for peeps with sensory issues (as Jenny noted as a positive the petting zoo) to take a bit of a break. People with mobility issues may need these sitting areas, and it’s also just good for people to stay, take in the scenery, etc.
Even those without disabilities would like to sit down and take a break after a long day. Also, what if someone is on the verge of passing out or gets sick? Should they just sit/lay on the floor?
It's hostile to everyone! Especially those that rely on benches
...And this in a world where lots and lots of people are suffering from post-COVID fatigue.
@@grylltheonion benches ultimately of course benefit everyone, but disabled people may physically not even be able to sit down on the floor or get up again. for an able bodied person, a lack of benches and other areas to relax or take breaks is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but for some disabled people it may straight up mean not being able to go
plus with all the walking that people do, it's practically inviting injuries or mobility issues to be exacerbated
“I am a small fish being kicked while I’m down” is a mood and a half
"An efficient walkway is great, but you can't live your life in efficient walkways" sounds like a very inspirational proverb

i went to galaxy's edge shortly after it opened, and i literally spent 5 hours just looking at the props. i only went on one ride lol. after about 4 hours of just staring with my face an inch from everything, someone from the park came out and talked to me out of character and just asked what the hell i was doing in a polite way. when i explained i used to make props, he just launched into an excited conversation about the props and the levels of detail and how every single greebly has a story. we even talked about how crazy it was that the full scale falcon has enlarged greeblies that were originally quite small, so they look like comically huge computer fans now. also Ray was just walking around and talking to everyone. there was a kid dressed in a perfect Ray costume and Ray stopped to talk to her for a while. the entire park wasn't even open yet and some parts were still being worked on, so i'm guessing the rules have changed a bit for cast members.
they even have a ton of prop guns they made from what looks like real WWII era machine guns. from what i could tell, the machine guns were not even de-milled which kind of blew my mind. i can only assume that the barrels are filled with solder or lead or something else i just couldn't see. all of them are locked in space crates
"I moved" was even more jarring if you've been watching Jenny for a while. Those venetian blinds had become fixed in my long term memory storage, I guess. Though I feel like there was a time before them with a poster in the background instead of a window.
The exposure change was the most jarring for me. I needed sunglasses. Shocked that she didn't fix that in editing.
But she did put on that shirt that says "efficient walkways" in Star Wars font, so it's ok.
Different lighting on her face, and her voice suddenly got deeper. I thought "How much time has passed?"
