"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
Rey and kylo see each other all the time when they’re getting groceries but they just look down at their space-phone and pretend they didn’t see each other
@@UD503Joh god I forgot they used a green paint color like they would invisibility paint and then proudly market it like a genius stroke. Like yes people don’t like looking at ugly things, it’s not a “hack”
@@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 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...
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 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.
"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!"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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’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.
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
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%.
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.
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*."
"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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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?
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
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?
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 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.
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.
"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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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"
Probably did some calculations and saw it would be a net gain in attraction ticket sales. Corporations are just a bunch of small parts of people's brains all working towards making their investors more money so they don't care about the big picture and can buy good optics at will. Unfortunately they're also legally people too somehow. Thanks, England.
No jackass, taking out those attractions doesn’t make Disney anti handicap 🤦🏽♂️ It was losing them money. I can already see you coming up with twitter hashtags to start your own movement.
@@Mr_Bones.Nobody said they're actively anti handicapped or that they outright hate the handicapped, just that they care more about money than making people comfortable. And many of us think that's sad. That's the point being made. The only way companies can be convinced to take care of guests' well being if it doesn't increase their bottom line is if people complain about it. It's shitty but it's the way things work.
@@Mr_Bones. Benches are not a costly piece of equipment or high maintenance. Even people without handicaps can need to just sit down and take a break. Most of us are also coming there from cooler climates and the heat alone will tire people out. The theme park experience can actually be more stressful than fun for many, especially parents. Also, like Jenny said, it's clear they are trying to move everyone through there as fast as possible to get the next wave through. They don't want to encourage people to really take it in. They just want us to get in and get out so as not to crowd the park. Obviously this was expected to be a much more popular vacation attraction than it is. While most of us planned to not go for the first year or two, at least in part because of this, there are still other reasons for it's lack of appeal. I would say that the limitations on time is probably one of the biggest. Do I want to go there at those prices to spend only 4 hours when each line will probably take an hour to get through? They need to shift focus to making people feel appreciated and welcome. We need to feel like we are the reason for the park's existence and it's not there despite us. The more I learn of it the less excited I am to go. Hell, even I would like a place to just sit down if I want. I'd probably just jump their damn gate and sit on their precious stairs.
@@Rosiestoned if you’re on her patreon, she talks a lot about the videos she’s currently working on. There’s one about all the Barbie animated movies. The Star Wars hotel one she just put out has been on the docket for like, a year. I can’t remember the others, but she’s got a lot of things in the pipeline
The lack of benches would annoy me so much. I have back issues and need to rest in between rushing off to different rides and attractions, and I'm sure plenty of other people do, too.
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.
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.)
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?
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
"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.
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.
Say what you will about Universal not having individualized atmosphere closed off from the rest of the park, but I got to see the Jurassic Park gate with Hogwarts in the background and that was one of the geekiest moments of my life
i don't think you'll ever see this jenny but i remembered this video when i was in the park with my boyfriend and his family. a group of cast members were walking by and one of them was petting something and i asked "what is that?" and he stopped to explain it was his pufferpig named brioche! he explained what they are and asked me if i liked creatures (to which i said of course) and told me where to get one. im usually anxious talking to employees but thanks for showing that they're open to talking with guests like that.
I went to Disney world last spring and I’m physically disabled and I was in tears multiple times because there were times I couldn’t find anywhere to sit down (I couldn’t sit on the ground without being in extreme pain). This was especially true in wait lines. And this was made worse with the heat and crowd. It really was a downer on my trip. Really wish Disney invested in making their parks accessible.
@@deathboyinc Disneyland is kind of accessible for wheelchairs but it definitely feels like an add-on to everything, and they have to hold up lines for special cars on lots of rides and they will have to separate someone in a wheelchair from the rest of their group. I can imagine that being in a wheelchair is hard enough without being made to feel like you're inconveniencing everyone :(
Did you ask the cast members? In my experience they always have folding chairs. Also did you get registered as a disabled park guest? They ask no questions and give you LOTS of opportunities to skip essentially every line, as well as lots of other helpful features.
If you ever need to go again, there's a way of informing them about your disability before hand and getting access to Disability Access Service. You inform them between 2-30 days before your visit, and have a video chat with a cast member. They then help you skip long waits by giving you return times. There's also certain cast members trained to help those with disabilities if needed
“was it possible that they told him of his destiny? did they rumble instructions?? and what did they promise in return...?” i literally got chills that’s SO haunting
Now I want a warlock subclass for DnD where you make a pact with a "spirit of progress" or something like that which inhabits machines for use in a SteamPunk setting.

Walt Disney became the emissary of the great old trains, beings from beyond time and space whose ferrous tendrils encircle entire planets in their grasp, driven to engulf and disgorge hordes of lesser beings at locations other to whence they first entered the steely maw enticed by the siren's call "Toot toot". Totally cool with Jenny stealing this.
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
Might sound awful but when my family and I had year passes to Disney World before the pandemic, we just started taking a wheelchair with us every time. Literally just as an easy convenient chair we can take everywhere in the park. We'd take turns on who gets to sit or push (my mom was often the one in the wheelchair cause she has a very hard time standing/walking for long periods) and just in general helped make the experience more enjoyable. I was always somewhat concerned though that it might come off as faking a disability of some kind. We weren't using it to skip lines or anything, and in hindsight the reason was as simple as, they don't bother to give people enough benches at a lot of the parks. The sparse benches or low walls there are, are very often overcrowded and packed full of people trying to squish in as many as can possibly sit there. I get their thought process is just to force people to have to go into a restaurant and pay for food just so you can sit down, which technically works if all you care about is money, but creates a terrible customer experience. You want people to be happy and want to come back, and letting them take a short break here and there to recharge is extremely helpful in a place like Disneyland/world that is often a very high stress environment for anyone.
The first order removed all the benches so Rei would have less places to crouch behind.
Underrated comment.
Can Rey at least carry some antibacterial wet wipes to give the kid after she makes them touch garbage cans? Seriously, we're eating lunch after this.

Time is a circle.
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.

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.

I’m obsessed with the idea of Walt Disney’s life changing weekend date to a miniature train convention
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.
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
I guess porgs are rich in protein so that’s a plus
@@KRobinson-ko1ne You take that back

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.
revisiting this post-starcruiser video is an almost charming experience

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 :)

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.

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
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.
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.
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

Jenny I'm sitting here waiting with bated breath for the sequel to trains: a star wars story!!
same here!
me too :)
same!
🥺
Episode Four: A New Train.
they’re keeping the free-roam droids in the same cold, dark room that they’re hiding buzzy in :(
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
The jump cut and low key "I moved" was priceless!
God I love when Jenny talks about theme park history. I could watch for hours
She knows SO MUCH. How? Why? Can she please tell us all about it?
I've passed by that pond with the mine entrance for thirty years, I never knew it used to actually be part of a ride.
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.
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"
Project stardust is honestly one of the most dystopian sounding things I've ever heard of.
I’m pretty sure Project Stardust is also the canon name for the Death Star project, but that’s just a book detail.
@@jonathangiese5727 IIRC it was the codename for the Khyber Crystal research to power the Death Star lasers so yeah
Removed the farm popular with guests with sensory problems
Took away a lot of benches.
They really don't care for handicapped people do they?
Probably did some calculations and saw it would be a net gain in attraction ticket sales. Corporations are just a bunch of small parts of people's brains all working towards making their investors more money so they don't care about the big picture and can buy good optics at will.
Unfortunately they're also legally people too somehow. Thanks, England.
No jackass, taking out those attractions doesn’t make Disney anti handicap 🤦🏽♂️ It was losing them money. I can already see you coming up with twitter hashtags to start your own movement.
@@Mr_Bones.
Are you seriously calling benches an attraction?
@@Mr_Bones.Nobody said they're actively anti handicapped or that they outright hate the handicapped, just that they care more about money than making people comfortable. And many of us think that's sad. That's the point being made. The only way companies can be convinced to take care of guests' well being if it doesn't increase their bottom line is if people complain about it. It's shitty but it's the way things work.
@@Mr_Bones. Benches are not a costly piece of equipment or high maintenance. Even people without handicaps can need to just sit down and take a break. Most of us are also coming there from cooler climates and the heat alone will tire people out. The theme park experience can actually be more stressful than fun for many, especially parents.
Also, like Jenny said, it's clear they are trying to move everyone through there as fast as possible to get the next wave through. They don't want to encourage people to really take it in. They just want us to get in and get out so as not to crowd the park. Obviously this was expected to be a much more popular vacation attraction than it is. While most of us planned to not go for the first year or two, at least in part because of this, there are still other reasons for it's lack of appeal. I would say that the limitations on time is probably one of the biggest. Do I want to go there at those prices to spend only 4 hours when each line will probably take an hour to get through? They need to shift focus to making people feel appreciated and welcome. We need to feel like we are the reason for the park's existence and it's not there despite us. The more I learn of it the less excited I am to go. Hell, even I would like a place to just sit down if I want. I'd probably just jump their damn gate and sit on their precious stairs.

The lack of benches would annoy me so much. I have back issues and need to rest in between rushing off to different rides and attractions, and I'm sure plenty of other people do, too.
There are more places to sit now but still no real benches
21:36 Uh... can we talk more about the water-selling porg eater?
water-selling porg eater is the sequel to scruffy-looking nerf herder
"Water-selling porg-eater." A slightly more scathing insult than "scruffy-looking nerf-herder."
Right? Where's the clip of Jenny beating his chest & screaming ''No, you monster. How could you? Arrest this man, somebody arrest this man!''?
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!
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.
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.)
i feel like we are uncovering more and more of Jenny's backstory with each video
It's all part of a larger plan...

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.

"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?"
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.
Did. Did you make a shirt that says “Efficient Walkways”? Hello?
Maranda Ward i want one!

i don't think you'll ever see this jenny but i remembered this video when i was in the park with my boyfriend and his family. a group of cast members were walking by and one of them was petting something and i asked "what is that?" and he stopped to explain it was his pufferpig named brioche! he explained what they are and asked me if i liked creatures (to which i said of course) and told me where to get one. im usually anxious talking to employees but thanks for showing that they're open to talking with guests like that.
STOP IT a pufferpig called BRIOCHE?! im screaming
I went to Disney world last spring and I’m physically disabled and I was in tears multiple times because there were times I couldn’t find anywhere to sit down (I couldn’t sit on the ground without being in extreme pain). This was especially true in wait lines. And this was made worse with the heat and crowd. It really was a downer on my trip. Really wish Disney invested in making their parks accessible.
Sorry sounds rough but maybe bring a wheel chair next time friend? Or did you mean it wasn't well accessible for wheel chairs?
Actually nvm I finished the video lol
@@deathboyinc Disneyland is kind of accessible for wheelchairs but it definitely feels like an add-on to everything, and they have to hold up lines for special cars on lots of rides and they will have to separate someone in a wheelchair from the rest of their group. I can imagine that being in a wheelchair is hard enough without being made to feel like you're inconveniencing everyone :(
Did you ask the cast members? In my experience they always have folding chairs. Also did you get registered as a disabled park guest? They ask no questions and give you LOTS of opportunities to skip essentially every line, as well as lots of other helpful features.
If you ever need to go again, there's a way of informing them about your disability before hand and getting access to Disability Access Service. You inform them between 2-30 days before your visit, and have a video chat with a cast member. They then help you skip long waits by giving you return times. There's also certain cast members trained to help those with disabilities if needed

Totally cool with Jenny stealing this.
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?
Might sound awful but when my family and I had year passes to Disney World before the pandemic, we just started taking a wheelchair with us every time. Literally just as an easy convenient chair we can take everywhere in the park. We'd take turns on who gets to sit or push (my mom was often the one in the wheelchair cause she has a very hard time standing/walking for long periods) and just in general helped make the experience more enjoyable. I was always somewhat concerned though that it might come off as faking a disability of some kind. We weren't using it to skip lines or anything, and in hindsight the reason was as simple as, they don't bother to give people enough benches at a lot of the parks. The sparse benches or low walls there are, are very often overcrowded and packed full of people trying to squish in as many as can possibly sit there. I get their thought process is just to force people to have to go into a restaurant and pay for food just so you can sit down, which technically works if all you care about is money, but creates a terrible customer experience. You want people to be happy and want to come back, and letting them take a short break here and there to recharge is extremely helpful in a place like Disneyland/world that is often a very high stress environment for anyone.
I’m guessing the train scene in Solo: a Star Wars Story was Disney’s attempt to appease the train spirits before making this land.
