The article specifically mentions this is in part to get the park ready for when Galaxy's Edge opens, so I wonder if that is not just a coincidence

Well, if they made the choice intentionally, then I can't imagine why they would name it after the Death Star project! lol Kind of the opposite of what they're hoping to achieve, I'd think. I mean, I suppose you could argue that Galen Erso named it Stardust so that his daughter could identify the plans and be able to destroy it -- so in a round about way, Stardust was about hope and crushing the evil Empire. Still, an odd choice for a project name for Disney.

Yeah, I was thinking more about how it was Jyn's nickname

Plus: Star Wars + Pixie Dust = Stardust (seems pretty Disney to me :D)

Interesting they mention more seating than ever, since all the DL locals have been saying they're been taking away seating.

They’re including Tropical Hideaway and the new indoor seating by Bengal BBQ in that calculation.

To be honest, I’m all for taking searing out of walkways and creating more table space. This past weekend I noticeably felt the increase in seating in Adventureland. We were able to easily find a table to eat without being in the way of people walking through the land. And I think the article made a really good point about Disney giving up revenue space and making it just seating. That’s huge, and flies in the face of the argument that Disney will do anything to squeeze another penny out of us.

I am not a professional sports fan, so maybe it is just me, but this seems ridiculous. So, if you happen to live in the state/region where a professional sports team is based and it wins the championship, then you get this discount. Okay, but certainly there are people in those states that hate the respective teams, and there are people in other states who are huge fans of those teams. It just seems silly.

I agree - I think it i just a fun small thing to get some attention - does seem not fair if they enforce it though .... if you just happen to live in a specific place you get the discount? (I could see it more if you could prove you were a legit fan of the team it applying more)

I think they did something similar or the same last year maybe even several years in a row IDK.

I do agree with you. It's their thing to give and it's no skin off my back but it's not exactly across the board fair.

Take KC for example. Had the Chiefs been in they would have to award the entire KC metro which is both KS and MO not just MO. There are a ton of Chiefs fans and ticketholders on both sides of the state line. And had the Rams still been in MO it's split on who are fans and who aren't. If you were living closer to STL you'd be a Rams fan, you live closer to KC you'd be a Chiefs (*Rough estimates here). Then NE is a multi-state region.

In the end it's not really a huge deal, drums up good enough PR, etc but it's not exactly a fair shot.

They had some sample pictures and they weren't great. It was zoomed in on the people but it appears the people didn't know where to look exactly.

That's new or those original test ones that came out (that were not great)?

Well, if it turns out to not work I hope they get rid of it quick - I will be very disappointed if this really reduces the photos from meets going forward, but trying to reserve judgement
